Vessel (Verse1) They say fear is a weapon, but I hold it like a heartbeat, a stone lodged in my throat, a drumbeat that never sleeps. (Light chorus) So I will rise with this fire, I refuse to just disappear, shaking mother earth and making you hear, It would be oh so clear, I am not a vessel. Not an object. Not less. (Verse 2) I walk this world on high alert, like prey always on edge. I know how a glance can twist, how a smile can turn to control. I've learned the silent dance of shrinking, of making myself small, just enough to be safe. (Chorus) They see me and see potential, a vessel,an empty shell, a shape to fill or break, a form they want to mold. My voice is an inconvenience, my "no" is just a pause, and I know what they'd have me be — a body ,not a soul. So I will rise with this fire, I refuse to just disappear, shaking mother earth and making you hear, It would be oh so clear, I am not a vessel. Not an object. Not less. (Verse 3) Some days, I want to scream, to shake these walls down to dust. But they say my anger is just noise, they say my fight is too much. I won't keep this rage down like a shadow, I defy keeping it deep inside, But I'm terrified, because I know too well, what waits when I don't stay in line. (Chorus) They see me and see potential, a vessel,an empty shell, a shape to fill or break, a form they want to mold. My voice is an inconvenience, my "no" is just a pause, and I know what they'd have me be — a body ,not a soul. (Bridge) Do you know what it's like to feel your own skin to not be yours, to be told your worth's in silence, that your dreams are meant to be stored? They'd have me hollow and empty, just a cradle, just a role, but I burn with roaring fire, and they will not take my control! (Outro) So I will rise with this fire, I refuse to just disappear, shaking mother earth and making you hear, It would be oh so clear, I am not a vessel. Not an object. Not less. I am here. And I. Am. Human.

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
[Verse] Under moonlit skies he rides again In a Cadillac built for ancient men Cracked leather seats and ghostly glow Shining bright where the spirits roam [Verse 2] Through the desert he cuts a crooked line Dust kicks up like sands of time Wheels of iron rumble on the land A warrior’s soul with the wheel in hand [Chorus] Geronimo's Cadillac burns the night Engine roars like a battle cry On a road where history sleeps A legend's ride into the deep [Verse 3] Headlights flash in a silent code Stories told and untold in the road Speakers blast a song of brave defeat Moving on where the earth and sky meet [Bridge] Paint chipped off but pride remains Old tales of glory in the oil-stained veins Heaven above looks down on his trail A journey where the strong prevail [Chorus] Geronimo's Cadillac burns the night Engine roars like a battle cry On a road where history sleeps A legend's ride into the deep

[Verse] Walking down a dusty road under a sky of tangerine Thinking 'bout the nights we fought cried and everything in between Hard love's a wild storm it cuts through bone and skin It breaks you down builds you up leaves you rattling within [Verse 2] Your whispers like a hurricane your touch a lightning bolt We'd break the dawn in pieces and mend it with our hopes Hard love's a heavy chain cold as winter’s breath It grabs you tight won't let go 'til there’s nothing left [Chorus] Hard love oh hard love keeps us on our knees We rise up just to fall we beg for some release But it’s the fire in our veins the scars our hearts adore Hard love it binds us deep forever wanting more [Verse 3] Underneath the silver moon when the world is fast asleep I feel your heartbeat echoes in secrets we must keep Hard love's a bitter taste sweet with memories It tears us down but also lets us see [Bridge] In the silence of the night in the wreckage of the day We fight through fog and shadows find another way Hard love like a war cry fierce without shame It leaves us bruised and broken but never quite the same [Chorus] Hard love oh hard love keeps us on our knees We rise up just to fall we beg for some release But it’s the fire in our veins the scars our hearts adore Hard love it binds us deep forever wanting more

[Verse] Two grown men we stand here tall Brothers in arms we’ve seen it all Yet in the dark we feel so small Kindred spirits at the call [Chorus] We may be adults but still so pure Untouched hearts we hold for sure Virgin paths we'll both endure Brotherhood’s our one allure [Verse 2] In a world that's wild and free We’ve held our ground just you and me No regrets and no decree We'll find our way eventually [Chorus] We may be adults but still so pure Untouched hearts we hold for sure Virgin paths we'll both endure Brotherhood’s our one allure [Bridge] Laughing at the nights we've missed Trading dreams and reckless lists Innocence in every twist Together we will both persist [Chorus] We may be adults but still so pure Untouched hearts we hold for sure Virgin paths we'll both endure Brotherhood’s our one allure
(MALE ) In the cradle of dawn, where the river's song flows, A child sits in her garden, where the marigold grows. Her dreams are like stars, untouched by night, Her laughter like birds, in their innocent flight. Yet the wind whispers tales, of a shadowed fate, A bride in the bud, her childhood's gate. The bindis, the bangles, the red of her veil, Cover the spark that no words can unveil. Why must the bloom be plucked from its stem, Before the morning has whispered to them? Why must the anklet, so heavy and cold, Bind the young feet, before they are old? O Mother, O Father, why hasten the day, When the blossoms of youth are stolen away? Let the river of time in its own course flow, Let the child in her garden, in her innocence, grow. And one day, the world will be hers to embrace, And the shadows of the past, she will then erase. But for now, let her be, in her garden so wild, Let her live, let her breathe, for she is still a child.
