Medusa

[Verse 1] I’m standing at the edge, feeling the weight, A heavy silence calls me to the gate. My thoughts are drowning, I can’t breathe, The world around me starts to leave. [Pre-Chorus] I want to let go, but I'm still scared, I'm lost in the dark, yet I’ve always cared. The voices whisper, saying it’s time, But something inside says, "You’re still mine." [Chorus] I’m on the edge of letting go, A heart that’s breaking, yet still beating slow. I want to give in, but I’m too afraid, To face the silence of the choices I’ve made. [Verse 2] I close my eyes and feel the tears, They’ve built up for years, for all my fears. But there’s a whisper, faint but strong, A reminder that I’ve held on for so long. [Pre-Chorus] I want to surrender, but my hands shake, The world seems heavy, every step I take. I’ve walked through shadows, but can I stay? Just one more breath, just one more day. [Chorus] I’m on the edge of letting go, A heart that’s breaking, yet still beating slow. I want to give in, but I’m too afraid, To face the silence of the choices I’ve made. [Bridge] What if I’m stronger than I’ve ever known? What if I find a way to heal on my own? I’m scared of falling, but I fear the climb, What if I’m meant to stay this time? [Chorus] I’m on the edge of letting go, A heart that’s breaking, yet still beating slow. I want to give in, but I’m too afraid, To face the silence of the choices I’ve made. [Outro] So I take a step, I take a breath, Fighting the darkness, holding off death. I may not know what’s coming next, But I’ll keep going, I’ll keep my steps.

[Verse 1] Once, I was golden, soft as the dawn, A girl with a heart unbroken, unshorn. I danced with the waves, kissed by the tide, Never knowing the dark that waited inside. [Pre-Chorus] He came like a shadow, a thief in the night, Tore through my temple, swallowed my light. Left me to silence, left me to stone, Called me a monster when I stood alone. [Chorus] Turn to me, look in my eyes, See the rage that never dies. You called me cursed, you made me this, Now taste the venom of my lips. I was a girl, now I am more, A fury born from what I bore. [Verse 2] They whisper my name, spit on my grave, Tell me I’m wicked for how I was made. But I wear my scales like armor now, No god, no man will pull me down. [Pre-Chorus] You made me a monster, you cast me away, But monsters survive, they don’t fade away. You fear my gaze, you fear my name, Yet never speak of who lit the flame. [Chorus] Turn to me, look in my eyes, See the rage that never dies. You called me cursed, you made me this, Now taste the venom of my lips. I was a girl, now I am more, A fury born from what I bore. [Bridge] No sword can break what’s turned to stone, No hero can claim what’s mine alone. I was ruined, I was betrayed, Now I rise in the dark, unafraid. [Outro] Call me Medusa, call me what you will, But I stand here breathing still. No chains, no shame, no gods above— I turn to stone, but not to love.

Verse 1] (Male voice) I was just a kid, didn’t know any better, You told me things that I would never forget. You twisted my trust, left me broken inside, How could you make me feel like I had to hide? [Verse 2] (Female voice) You promised me love, but it was just a lie, Told me everything’s fine, while you left me to die. How did I fall for your fake disguise? Now I’m left with the scars of your cruel alibis. [Pre-Chorus] (Both voices) I believed in you, thought you were my guide, But you pushed me aside, took my soul and lied. I was just a kid, I didn’t know the game, Now all I have left is this burning flame. [Chorus] (Both voices) How could you betray me this way? You crushed my heart, now I can’t stay. I was just a kid, trusting what you said, Now I’m left alone with the pieces of my head. You thought I’d forget, but now I see, The truth in the ashes of what you did to me. [Bridge] (Male voice) You took my innocence, shattered my mind, (Female voice) Left me in the dark, but I’m not blind. (Both voices) I’ll carry this anger, I’ll carry the pain, And you’ll never be the same again. [Chorus] (Both voices) How could you betray me this way? You crushed my heart, now I can’t stay. I was just a kid, trusting what you said, Now I’m left alone with the pieces of my head. You thought I’d forget, but now I see, The truth in the ashes of what you did to me. [Outro] (Male voice) I was just a kid, with too much trust, (Female voice) But now all I have is anger and disgust. (Both voices) I’m not your victim, I’m not your game, I’ll make you remember my name.

[Verse 1] (Male voice) You took everything, tore it apart, Left me standing here with a shattered heart. How could you lie? How could you betray? I gave you everything, but you pushed it away. [Verse 2] (Female voice) You played your games, twisted my mind, Left scars on my soul that I can’t leave behind. You thought you could break me, thought I’d fall, But now I’m standing, no longer small. [Pre-Chorus] (Both voices) I won’t be your victim, won’t bow to your lies, I see through your mask, through the truth you disguise. You pushed me to the edge, but I’m still alive, And now it’s my turn to make you realize. [Chorus] (Both voices) I’m burning with anger, fueled by the pain, You thought you could break me, but you’re insane. You tore me apart, but I’m rising again, I’ll make you regret the day you hurt me, my friend. [Bridge] (Male voice) You took my trust and you crushed it in two, (Female voice) I should’ve known better, but I believed you. (Both voices) I won’t stay silent, won’t turn away, Now you’ll see the fury of a heart betrayed. [Chorus] (Both voices) I’m burning with anger, fueled by the pain, You thought you could break me, but you’re insane. You tore me apart, but I’m rising again, I’ll make you regret the day you hurt me, my friend. [Outro] (Male voice) You can’t hurt me anymore, (Female voice) You’ll never break me again. (Both voices) I’m done with your lies, and I’m walking away, You’ll feel the burn of every word I say.

<ZWROTKA> The crystal beauty of simplicity, Shines troughout my bounded heart, Tied up with ropes of INTENSITY, Streaching between eternal love and craving to die. I can be low & I can be high, My border dance I can't deny, Ridicle sophistication, of exaggeration. <REFREN> Perfectly-ugly truth to reveal Lost and torn but rawly real I can be low & I can be high My border dance I can't deny Ridicle sophistication Of exaggeration <ZWROTKA> They say: "it's way to much, You need to balance out", But that's not a throwable part, I can't just cut it out. Squeezed out my smothered flame But there is no-one else to blame Chained with a pride Binded and tied Die, burn, reborn Brigdes fallen apart <REFREN> Perfectly-ugly truth to reveal Lost and torn but rawly real I can be low & I can be high My border dance I can't deny Ridicle sophistication Of exaggeration <BRIDGE> Please, let me out! There is no way, No path in sight, Lost in the maze. <ZWROTKA> There is no me, in this reality, Miserable human being, completly dissapearing. All those deludions of notions, They are my pleasure and pain. Imaginary things keeping me awake, Sadness and sorrow, that makes me break. Looking desperately for any safe place, Where I can finally pass away.

[Verse 1] (Female voice) The night is heavy, the silence deep, Secrets I carry won’t let me sleep. I did what I had to, but gods, does it ache, Another piece of me I had to break. [Pre-Chorus] (Female voice) She looked at me like nothing changed, But I know the price, the cost remains. How many more truths must I hide? How much more must I leave behind? [Chorus] (Both female and male voices) Not alone, not anymore, Your heartbeat is my open door. In the dark, I feel you near, Holding on, drowning out the fear. [Verse 2] (Female voice) Lying here, tracing scars on your skin, Trying to forget the war within. If I could steal just one more breath, I’d choose this moment over all the rest. [Pre-Chorus] (Female voice) But the weight still lingers, the echoes call, The burden I bear, I feel it all. How many more truths must I hide? How much more must I leave behind? [Chorus] (Both female and male voices) Not alone, not anymore, Your heartbeat is my open door. In the dark, I feel you near, Holding on, drowning out the fear. [Bridge] (Male voice, soft and reassuring) Lay your sorrow here with me, You don’t have to bleed unseen. No more burdens left to bear, I am here, I’m always there. [Chorus] (Both female and male voices, swelling in emotion) Not alone, not anymore, Your heartbeat is my open door. In the dark, I feel you near, Holding on, drowning out the fear. [Outro] (Female voice, fading into quiet acceptance) For tonight, it’s enough to know, That in your arms, I’m not alone

Back in the day, we ran so wild, Young and reckless, hearts like fire. Late-night walks in hometown streets, Never thought time would move this fast on me. But here we stand, a little gray, Laugh lines show the price we paid. Through every turn, through every sin, Still got your back, still got that grin. Now we’re brothers in our 40s, still standing tall, We’ve seen some wins, we’ve had some falls. Life keeps changing, but one thing’s true, No matter what, I’ve got you. Built our lives, got scars to show, Lessons learned, still room to grow. Kids and work, responsibilities stack high, But some things money just can’t buy. Through the years, through thick and thin, We’ve lost some, but we still stand. No road too long, no dream too late, Still got time to celebrate. Now we’re brothers in our 40s, still standing tall, We’ve seen some wins, we’ve had some falls. Life keeps changing, but one thing’s true, No matter what, I’ve got you. (Love my brother) You are better at golf ya better boast. Just like folks knowledge to make bread toast. Here’s to the days still yet to come, Ain’t slowing down, we’re not done. (no need for booze to have fun) Brothers in our 40s, the story goes on, Still laughing, still strong. Through every high, through every low, Side by side, we’ll always go. (happy birthday to my bro) 43 is the new 23. Love ya brother forever. Forever more. Until i'm unable to.. stand when I pee. Happy 43 My bro is getting older Houston aint getting colder. Happy birthday Miho
