Abyss of Lullabies

**Song Title: "Running in Place"** *(Verse 1)* You say time has passed, but I'm still stuck, Trapped in the moments when we were enough. I hold on to memories that cloud my mind, Trying to let go, but I'm tied to the past, still blind. Now I'm reaching out to someone new, But they can’t fill the hole left by you. *(Pre-Chorus)* Every step I take, it feels like a lie, Chasing shadows, watching time slip by. I can't outrun what I knew— How my heart fell hard for you. *(Chorus)* I keep running, but I’m drawn right back, To the pain that keeps pulling me off track. Every road I take, every turn I make, Leads me in circles to a past I can’t shake. I keep running, but I’m stuck in place, Trapped in the echoes of your embrace. *(Verse 2)* I tried to let go, but I still hear your name, Every corner I turn, it’s all the same. The laughter we shared, the way you embraced, It’s etched in my soul, a memory I can’t erase. Now I’m caught in this endless chase, Searching for love I can't replace. *(Pre-Chorus)* Every step I take, it feels like a lie, Chasing shadows, watching time slip by. I can't outrun what I knew— How my heart fell hard for you. *(Chorus)* I keep running, but I’m drawn right back, To the pain that keeps pulling me off track. Every road I take, every turn I make, Leads me in circles to a past I can’t shake. I keep running, but I’m stuck in place, Trapped in the echoes of your embrace. *(Bridge)* I don’t know how to break free, From this love that won’t let me be. You're a ghost that haunts my mind, A love I can't leave behind. I’m running in circles, stuck in this race, Forever chasing a love I can’t replace. *(Final Chorus)* I keep running, but I’m drawn right back, To the pain that keeps pulling me off track. Every road I take, every turn I make, Leads me in circles to a past I can’t shake. I keep running, but I’m stuck in place, Forever haunted by your face.

[Verse] Liz on the hustle under neon lights Battling shadows in the coldest nights Heart full of fire mind sharp as a blade For her son’s future all debts shall be paid [Verse 2] Small circle quiet whispers in the air Cold street jungle she’s got no fear Hands blistered from work heart never rusts She builds the dreams for her son from dust [Chorus] Steel queen fights through the storm Soul blazing breaking the norm For her boy she tears down walls Liz will rise never fall [Verse 3] Concrete dreams crumble under strain Her love like thunder through the rain Guardian angel fighting for her own In a world so dark she stands alone [Verse 4] Night after night she battles the cold Her story ruthless yet never told Unseen scars mark her daily grind Yet love for her boy keeps her defined [Chorus] Steel queen fights through the storm Soul blazing breaking the norm For her boy she tears down walls Liz will rise never fall

[Verse] In the corridors of Hawkins High You live inside my mind Fictional and out of reach Yet love for you I can't unwind [Verse 2] I teach these kids who never know My heart's true Impossible woe Nancy Wheeler Love confined In a world where we're misaligned [Chorus] Oh Nancy In my dreams we’d be But reality keeps you from me I wish for moments Dusk to dawn But I wake and find you gone [Verse] I watch you solve those mysteries While I'm stuck with history A teacher's life A lonely plea Lost in pages you can’t see [Bridge] A baby’s laugh What might have been But fiction keeps us locked within You A hero on TV Me A prisoner of reality [Verse] Imagined nights in autumn's chill We'd walk where woods are still But truth cuts deep And hope retracts A dream that fiction never backs

[Verse] Ancient curse in the shadows Double-faced demon king rise Whispers echo through the night Fear and chaos ignite [Verse 2] Thousands tremble at his name Blood and pain his twisted game Eyes of fire void of soul Darkness follows where he roams [Chorus] Ryomen Sukuna haunts our dreams Splitting skies with silent screams Power burning through our veins Can't escape his wicked reign [Verse 3] In the dark his presence looms Bringer of impending doom Cursed fingers hold our fate No retreat it's way too late [Bridge] In his grip we're bound and torn Life and death a vengeful storm Chant his name and face the end King of curses will descend [Verse 4] Ruthless eyes and jagged grin Souls consumed by violent sin Fierce and ancient evil cries Underneath the moonlit skies

The world keeps turning even after we’re gone Raindrops will fall, no need for anyone The faster, the better, humanity’s a plague We’re stuck in a loop, and counting the days The sun will still set, the stars burning out Clocks keep on ticking, but there’s nothing to count The future’s a lie, and the past doesn’t care Every step taken, it leads us nowhere Why live a life full of wasted potential Why tell the truth when it’s not what they want Why be a good person when good never works Mercy is met with a blade in return Why stand up for right when wrong is a winner Why bother smiling when everything’s a joke Why dream of the sky when you’re chained to the earth Mercy is met with a blade in return The waves coming in, try to wash us away Tides ever shifting, we simply stay in place The harder we work, the less we achieve We’re fighting for nothing, pretend to believe The streets might stop burning, but the blood never dries Ignoring the carnage, try as we might The future’s a lie, and the past doesn’t care Every step taken, it leads us nowhere Why live a life full of wasted potential Why tell the truth when it’s not what they want Why be a good person when good never works Mercy is met with a blade in return Why stand up for right when wrong is a winner Why bother smiling when everything’s a joke Why dream of the sky when you’re chained to the earth Mercy is met with a blade in return We’re born just to suffer, and die to be free Chasing a purpose that’s never been real This life’s but a cycle, we kill and we rape Still we keep marching, cause nothing’s at stake Why live a life full of wasted potential Why tell the truth when it’s not what they want Why be a good person when good never works Mercy is met with a blade in return Why stand up for right when wrong is a winner Why bother smiling when everything’s a joke Why dream of the sky when you’re chained to the earth Mercy is met with a blade in return Mercy is met with a blade in return

[Verse] Silent whispers in the night Shadows dance in pale moonlight Fading memories Vanish fast Love we had It couldn't last [Verse 2] Lonely streets Empty calls Echoes bounce off silent walls Wake up screaming Cold sweat tears Nightmare whispers of your fears [Chorus] You slipped away I couldn't see Darkness wrapped you Shadowed me Light has left this empty place Longing for your sweet embrace [Verse 3] Moonlit nights Stars above Empty heart Lost our love Desperate cries Unheard pleas Left alone on broken knees [Bridge] Eyes so empty Lost their shine World feels broken Heart's confined Days drag on They never end Just me here No love to mend [Verse 4] Fading echoes in my mind Haunting memories left behind Can I find the strength to heal? Heart laid bare It’s so surreal

The world keeps turning even after we’re gone Raindrops will fall, no need for anyone The faster, the better, humanity’s a plague We’re stuck in a loop, and counting the days The sun will still set, the stars burning out Clocking keep on ticking, but there’s nothing to count The future’s a lie, and the past doesn’t care Every step taken, it leads us nowhere Why live a life full of wasted potential Why tell the truth when it’s not what they want Why be a good person when good never works Mercy is met with a blade in return Why stand up for right when wrong is a winner Why bother smiling when everything’s a joke Why dream of the sky when you’re chained to the earth Mercy is met with a blade in return The waves coming in, try to wash us away Tides ever shifting, we simply stay in place The harder we work, the less we achieve We’re fighting for nothing, pretend to believe The streets might stop burning, but the blood never dries Ignoring the bloodshed, try as we might The future’s a lie, and the past doesn’t care Every step taken, it leads us nowhere We’re born just to suffer, and die to be free Chasing a purpose that’s never been real This life’s but a cycle, we kill and we rape Still we keep marching, cause nothing’s at stake Why live a life full of wasted potential Why tell the truth when it’s not what they want Why be a good person when good never works Mercy is met with a blade in return Why stand up for right when wrong is a winner Why bother smiling when everything’s a joke Why dream of the sky when you’re chained to the earth Mercy is met with a blade in return

[Verse] Not my problem got a world turned blind Cries echo loud from deep in my mind Souls getting hurt but no one to care Limitless cruelty man life's not fair [Verse 2] Justice lost in shadows we can't see Promises broken like waves on the sea Truth buried deep while lies dance free I turn my head but it still haunts me [Chorus] Not my problem no tears left to cry Turning my back but I still wonder why Love should have wings instead of chains that bind We close our eyes but we're losing our mind [Bridge] Pretend we’re saints with halos and wings But deep inside we know the pain it brings Reaching for light while darkness clings A twisted tale where angels don’t sing [Verse 3] Whispers of peace they fade into dust Promises shattered like a mirror's trust Holding on to dreams that fade to rust In a world so cold it's do or bust [Chorus] Not my problem no tears left to cry Turning my back but I still wonder why Love should have wings instead of chains that bind We close our eyes but we're losing our mind

Verse 1 It's a long and a hard battle No one knows That the battle can't be won It's a long and a hard battle You'll always be the one And though he'll never be the one Chorus No one knows No one knows No one knows You never stay the same Verse 2 You never stay the same You only get to stay the same Someday someway Everything changes You never stay the same You never stay the same Chorus No one knows No one knows No one knows You never stay the same

I was your northern light, a midnight sun The star you looked up to when you needed someone I was a constant, a beacon, a guide The one thing that lit up your loneliest nights Slowly but surely, I’m fading away The night’s come to claim me, I wish I could stay No longer in orbit, I’ll say my goodbyes Even the brightest of stars have to die You’re a shadow of your shadow, down on your luck Burning up stars, and you don’t give a fuck You’re lost in a void, and I know that you are desperately trying to live in the dark You’ve wasted the light I once gave you for free My energy lost, stolen from me I can’t be the one to guide you no more When you clearly choose to live in the dark I was your shooting star, a hopeful flame The fire that burned bright, the one that kept you safe I was a pillar, a compass, a friend The one thing that saved you, now I’m saving myself Slowly but surely, I slip through the cracks The night’s come to claim me, there’s no turning back No longer in orbit, I’ll say my goodbyes Even the brightest of stars have to die You’re a shadow of your shadow, down on your luck Burning up stars, and you don’t give a fuck You’re lost in a void, and I know that you are desperately trying to live in the dark You’ve wasted the light I once gave you for free My energy lost, stolen from me I can’t be the one to guide you no more When you clearly choose to live in the dark As the sky turns black, and it's hard to breathe I'm not the first star you've burned up, I see You’ve turned from the stars, letting shadows in I’m just another star you’ll forget about again You’re a shadow of your shadow, down on your luck Burning up stars, and you don’t give a fuck You’re lost in a void, and I know that you are desperately trying to live in the dark You’ve wasted the light I once gave you for free My energy lost, stolen from me I can’t be the one to guide you no more When you clearly choose to live in the dark You’re a shadow of your shadow, down on your luck Burning up stars, and you don’t give a fuck You’re lost in a void, and I know that you are desperately trying to live in the dark You’ve wasted the light I once gave you for free My energy lost, stolen from me I can’t be the one to guide you no more When you clearly choose to live in the dark

**Title: "Echoes of Us"** **Verse 1:** In the shadows where you whispered, Dreams like ghosts, they linger still, A silhouette of what we once were, Fading light against my will. Through the silence, I hear your laughter, A distant song, it cuts so deep, But I'll gather the fragments after, And cradle the pain as I weep. **Chorus:** But I’ll rise, like the dawn breaking, From the ashes, I’ll learn to fly, In the echoes of us, I’ll find my voice, A symphony built on goodbye. Though the love we had was a fleeting fire, The embers glow within my heart, I’m stepping forward, fueled by desire, From the shadows, I’ll tear apart. **Verse 2:** Once we danced under silver moonlight, Promises whispered in the dark, Now I wander through this cold night, Chasing dreams that lost their spark. Tangled sheets left an impression, Ghosts of a love that couldn’t stay, But in the now, I seek redemption, Finding strength in the price I pay. **Chorus:** But I’ll rise, like the dawn breaking, From the ashes, I’ll learn to fly, In the echoes of us, I’ll find my voice, A symphony built on goodbye. Though the love we had was a fleeting fire, The embers glow within my heart, I’m stepping forward, fueled by desire, From the shadows, I’ll tear apart. **Bridge:** In the silence, I’ll reclaim my story, Let the healing wash over me, Every tear sheds a part of the glory, Of the love that was once meant to be. I’ll carry your memory, tender and bright, But like the stars, I’ll find my own light. **Chorus:** So I’ll rise, like the dawn breaking, From the ashes, I’ll learn to fly, In the echoes of us, I’ll find my voice, A symphony built on goodbye. Though the love we had was a fleeting fire, The embers glow within my heart, I’m stepping forward, fueled by desire, From the shadows, I’ll tear apart. **Outro:** So here’s to the time that we borrowed, To the love that taught me to dream, In the light of tomorrow, no more sorrow, I’ll find myself in the stream. With every heartbeat, I’ll draw the line, From heartbreak to healing, in time, I’ll shine.
