WHISKEY DREAMS

I miss all the chances I take I lose all the progress I make I forget all the plans that I made I waste all the time that I I hate all the things that I say I hate all the things that don’t change Why do I do this to myself? Is it to silence the noise? Or is it to fill the void? We can’t keep doing this I need a break Don’t need the praise, don’t want the fame Just want to kiss your lips, your neck and face Intricate steps in this intricate mess My heart is a bird and your arms are a nest Burning down, who would have guessed? Burning down, can’t take a breath Hiding, disguising, it’s not fine I cannot find it, need to rewind Need to define what’s on my mind

[Verse] She’s got a pickup truck and a worn-out hat Knows every back road and where the grass is at A little town girl with a big heart She’s got the kind of smile that lights up the dark [Verse 2] She dances in the fields when no one's around Knows every secret in this one-horse town Her laughter echoes through the hills so wide She’s got a gentle spirit she doesn’t hide [Chorus] Oh small town girl you’re a ray of morning light With your dreams so high and your eyes so bright You chase the sun you reach for the sky In this small town your spirit will always fly [Verse 3] She paints the barns with colors of her dreams A world so vibrant like morning streams She’s got a song in her heart so true A melody that whispers just for you [Bridge] In every sunset she finds her muse A canvas of hope with every hue She’s just a small town girl with a voice so clear Singing her story for all to hear [Chorus] Oh small town girl you’re a ray of morning light With your dreams so high and your eyes so bright You chase the sun you reach for the sky In this small town your spirit will always fly

Verse 1) (Sung in a slow, mournful drawl) Sunrise creepin' over the ridge, dew still on the grass But a shadow hangs heavy, a silence that will last Phone call this mornin', voice cracklin' with pain "She's gone to her heaven, where nothin' hurts again" (Chorus) (Sung with a bit more emotion, voice cracking slightly) Great Grandma's gone, another star in the sky Leavin' a hole in our hearts, reachin' for the why But the memories linger, like wildflowers in bloom Of stories and laughter, banishin' the gloom (Verse 2) (Tempo picks up slightly) Remember her kitchen, the smell of warm bread Singin' hymns softly, with prayers for the dead Rockin' us babies, with eyes full of grace Whisperin' secrets, in that warm, safe space (Chorus) (Sung with a bit more power, voice still tinged with sadness) Great Grandma's gone, another star in the sky Leavin' a hole in our hearts, reachin' for the why But the memories linger, like wildflowers in bloom Of stories and laughter, banishin' the gloom (Bridge) (Tempo slows, voice becomes more introspective) Now the angels are dancin', with her by their side Tellin' her stories, of the love that survived The love of her family, the bond that remains Though she's gone from this earth, her spirit still reigns (Chorus) (Sung with a final surge of emotion, then fading out) Great Grandma's gone, another star in the sky Leavin' a hole in our hearts, reachin' for the why But the memories linger, like wildflowers in bloom Of stories and laughter, banishin' the gloom (Outro) (Whispered) And though the tears may fall, and the grief may run deep We'll hold her memory close, while our weary hearts sleep For in every sunrise, and every soft breeze We'll feel her love surroundin', whisperin' through the trees

[Verse 1] The sun touches my eyes, They open up to what feels like paradise. Your hand holding mine, Only your love can make me feel so alive— Babe, let’s take a dip in the warm waters, make love like this. [Pre-Chorus] The sand, the beach, the waves, Feeling lucky just to be here today. [Chorus] Surrounded by oceans, You’re like a little island that saved my life. Surrounded by oceans, Lost in your beautiful paradise. Surrounded by oceans, You make me feel so alive. Yeah, surrounded by oceans, Riding the waves of our life. [Verse 2] The dawn breaks, sunset colors Dance across the sky. Laying here with you, Watching the stars come out tonight. Waves crashing in sync with our heartbeat, Baby, your salty skin feels so good within. Just stay like this here with me, By the beach, the sea, letting time move slowly.

(Verse 1) We were young, just a couple of kids, Laughing ‘neath the stars on that old wooden bridge. With the smell of pine, and the moon shining bright, We dreamed of big cities, far from that night. (Verse 2) You showed me your heart in the glow of a fire, Whiskey on our lips, and our spirits climbed higher. With every sip, we whispered our dreams, Two wild souls, tearing at the seams. (Chorus) So we’ll chase the stars, while the night’s still young, With our hearts full of hope and the songs we’ve sung. Through the fights and the tears, we'll find our way, In this wild, crazy world, love’s here to stay. (Verse 3) But the road got tough, and the dreams hit the ground, Fighting for our future in a small country town. You said, "Hold on tight, I’m not letting go," With the taste of salt from the tears we’d sow. (Verse 4) Remember that night at the diner down south, You stole my fries while I was running my mouth. We laughed till we cried, with the jukebox alive, In that moment, I knew, together we'd thrive. (Chorus) So we’ll chase the stars, while the night’s still young, With our hearts full of hope and the songs we’ve sung. Through the fights and the tears, we'll find our way, In this wild, crazy world, love’s here to stay. (Bridge) Now the sun’s rising high, we’re still side by side, With a heart full of dreams, there’s nothing to hide. We’ve traveled the distance, we’ve weathered the storm, Through the highs and the lows, our love keeps us warm. (Chorus) So we’ll chase the stars, while the night’s still young, With our hearts full of hope and the songs we’ve sung. Through the fights and the tears, we'll find our way, In this wild, crazy world, love’s here to stay. (Outro) So here’s to the nights under skies painted blue, With friends by our side, and my heart still with you. We’ll raise a glass to the dreams we once shared, With love as our compass, we’ll always be prepared.

The elements glow while on the periodic table tonight Lots of compounds to be made A kingdom of isolation And it looks like decomposition The compound is breaking like this swirling storm inside Couldn't keep it in, heaven knows I tried 2 h20 breaks into 2 H2 and one O2 Be the decomposition reaction you always have to be Conceal, don't feel, don't let them know Well, now they know Let it go, let it go Can't hold it back anymore Let it go, let it go Turn away and combine the compounds I don't care what they're going to say Let the reactions rage on Synthesis reactions never bothered me anyway It's funny how some distance makes everything seem small And the compounds that once controlled me can't get to me at all It's time to see what I can do To add 4 iron and three O2 And make Iron 3 oxide, just reactions for me I'm free Let it go, let it go I am one with the single replacement Let it go, let it go You'll always see me replacing Here one stands and here one goes Let the reactions rage on My charges flurry through the air into the ground Adding one zinc to hydrochloric acid all around And the product crystallizes into zinc chloride and 2 hydrogen I'm never going back, the compounds are in the past Let it go, let it go And I'll switch like the double replacement Let it go, let it go That perfect pair is gone Here I stand with my new compound Let the reactions rage on The water never bothered me anyway
