Paper Dreams

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] I left my heart in the morning mist Chasing dreams I could never resist The stars above whispered soft and low Leading me to places I’ll never know [Verse 2] Shadows crawl where the moonlight hides Echoes of a love that slowly dies Lonely footsteps on this empty road Carrying the weight of a heavy load [Chorus] Lost in the light I fade away Hoping for dawn to break the gray Pieces of me scattered in flight Searching for a glimpse of the night [Verse 3] Raindrops fall like a sad refrain Memories drown in the pouring rain Silent whispers in the cool night air Lingering ghosts of the love we shared [Bridge] Midnight comes with a ghostly sigh Bringing whispers of our last goodbye Stars that shone now lost from view Leaving only shadows of you [Chorus] Lost in the light I fade away Hoping for dawn to break the gray Pieces of me scattered in flight Searching for a glimpse of the night

[Verse] Lost in the waves where spirits dance Under the moon's mysterious trance Stars align in the purple sky We find our dreams and learn to fly [Verse 2] Electric pulses through our veins Wrapped in the echoes of mystic refrains Shadows flicker in the ocean's spray Guiding us through the night and day [Chorus] In the heart of Goa we roam Seeking a place we call home Beat by beat our souls ignite Dancing through the endless night [Verse 3] Feet in the sand hearts in the breeze Every moment a tender tease Morning whispers secrets of old Stories of magic yet untold [Bridge] Time stands still we lose the ground In this cosmic whirl we've found A piece of ourselves that's wild and free Lost in Goa just you and me [Chorus] In the heart of Goa we roam Seeking a place we call home Beat by beat our souls ignite Dancing through the endless night

[Verse] I saw you there just standing by A flicker in the corner of my eye Heartbeat racing couldn't deny The spark that lit up the sky [Verse 2] Your smile brighter than the dawn In my world you’re the only song Every moment feels so long When you’re gone where you belong [Chorus] Heartbeats in the rain Dancing through the pain Love that never wanes You and I never the same [Verse 3] Underneath the starry night Holding hands feeling right Whispers soft without a fright In your arms I take flight [Bridge] Through the storm through the haze You light up my darkest days In your eyes I find a maze Lost and found in your gaze [Chorus] Heartbeats in the rain Dancing through the pain Love that never wanes You and I never the same

[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 1) I stand here on a fragile line, Between a love I’ve always known, And a stranger with a wandering heart, Who makes me feel less alone. I’m lost in what’s familiar, Yet drawn to something new, In the warmth of his uncertain arms, My heart splits clean in two. (Chorus) Oh, I’m caught in the crossroads, don’t know where to go, One holds my past, one lets my spirit show, One’s steady and true, the other’s wild and free, But I’m lost in the space where my heart can’t see. (Verse 2) I think of the years I built with care, Of promises that linger there, Yet in his eyes, I see the flame, Of something bright I can’t explain. But he’s unsure, I feel it too, The road with him is strange and new. Can I leave behind what’s steady and safe, For a whisper of fate, for a leap of faith? (Chorus) Oh, I’m caught in the crossroads, don’t know where to go, One holds my past, one lets my spirit show, One’s steady and true, the other’s wild and free, But I’m drifting here, where my heart can’t see. (Bridge) If I let go, will I find regret, Or a new beginning I haven’t met? Will he catch me, or let me fall, Or will I lose myself, chasing it all? And if I stay, am I losing me, In a love that’s too familiar to see? (Verse 3) With each step, I’m pulled both ways, Memories tug, but my heart strays, Do I run to the thrill of the unknown, Or stay with the love I’ve always shown? As the dawn breaks, I close my eyes, And pray for strength beneath these skies, For either way, I know the cost, And either way, something is lost. (Chorus) Oh, I’m caught in the crossroads, don’t know where to go, One holds my past, one lets my spirit show, One’s steady and true, the other’s wild and free, And I’m stuck here, where my heart can’t see. (Outro) So I’ll walk this line, wherever it leads, With a heart torn between needs and dreams, And maybe someday, I’ll find what’s right, In the tangled roads of love tonight.

(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.
