Runaway nights

Verse 1: It started with a restless plan, A couple of bucks and an empty van. We hit the road with no real aim, Chasing the thrill, playing the game. The summer air was wild and free, Fingers drumming to the melody. With the city lights fading fast, We were living a dream we knew wouldn’t last. Chorus: Runaway nights under open skies, Breaking the rules, losing track of time. No maps, no plans, just a spark to ignite, This is the story of our runaway nights. With every mile, the world felt small, We had nothing, but we had it all. Verse 2: We stopped at a diner at half past two, Made some friends we barely knew. A Polaroid snapped, a story told, Of chasing dreams and hearts of gold. The jukebox played our favorite song, We sang out loud like we belonged. A moment fleeting, but it felt so real, That’s the kind of magic you can’t conceal. Chorus: Runaway nights under open skies, Breaking the rules, losing track of time. No maps, no plans, just a spark to ignite, This is the story of our runaway nights. With every mile, the world felt small, We had nothing, but we had it all. Bridge: Now the sun’s coming up, the road’s still long, But the memories linger like a timeless song. The kind of nights that change your view, When the world’s wide open, and so are you. Chorus (Alt): Runaway nights, we’re burning bright, Living for the moment, holding on tight. No maps, no plans, just a spark to ignite, This is the story of our runaway nights. With every mile, the world felt small, We had nothing, but we had it all. Outro: So here’s to the nights we’ll never trade, The stories we lived, the memories we made. Runaway hearts under endless skies, This is our anthem, our runaway nights.

(Verse 1)
In the rearview mirror, your face reflects,
A thousand hollow promises, a heart that’s wrecked.
You wore your crown like a king,
But it was made of thorns, not the love you bring.
Every smile was a dagger, concealed by your charm,
A puppet on a string, I was caught in your arms. (Chorus)
And I fell for the shadow of a broken man,
With your charming words, like a sinking sand.
You build me up to tear me down,
In the palace of your lies, I’m lost, I drown.
You wear your masks, but I see the cracks,
A terrible ex with a heart that attacks. (Verse 2)
You ruled the night, I walked in your light,
But the truth was a spark, hidden out of sight.
You twisted the love, turned it to a game,
In the echoes of your voice, I forgot my name.
Every tear was a secret, tucked under your rule,
A mannequin of strength, when I was just a fool. (Chorus)
And I fell for the shadow of a broken man,
Your charming words, like a sinking sand.
You built me up to tear me down,
In the palace of your lies, I’m lost, I drown.
You wear your masks, but I see the cracks,
A terrible ex with a heart that attacks. (Bridge)
But now the chains are rusted, the silence is loud,
I’m rising from the ashes, shedding your shroud.
No more your marionette, I reclaim my name,
In the wreckage of your empire, I am not the same. (Chorus)
I fell for the shadow of a broken man,
With your charming words, like a sinking sand.
You built me up to tear me down,
In the palace of your lies, I’m lost, I drown.
But now I wear the armor, I won’t look back,
No more a terrible ex, I’m reclaiming my path. (Outro)
So here’s to the nights I spent in your chains,
To the light I forgot and the love that remains.
In the ruins, I’ll rise, a phoenix in flight,
No longer your subject, I’m stepping to light.
No more your shadow, just a memory’s thread,
I’m breaking the silence, I’m finally free instead.

Verse 1 Shadows dance where the light won't shine, Haunting echoes linger, trapped in the divine. We tread on whispers of unspoken dreams, In a world where silence tears at the seams. Pre-Chorus Please come and help us, we're lost in this pain, Bound by the memories, we’re shackled by shame. The ghosts of the fallen, they call out our names, In this endless cycle, all that's left are remains. Chorus We are the poor souls of the past, Searching for solace, we long for a chance. Just want to be free from this tormentor's grasp, But the chains keep tightening, we're fading so fast. Verse 2 With every heartbeat, we thump like a drum, Marking the moments when hope's left undone. Faces of loved ones, their sorrowful eyes, Reflect in the darkness where no one replies. Pre-Chorus Please come and help us, can you hear our cries? Each tear tells a story that no one knows why. Chained to our killers' fate, we silently plead, For a light to break through, to feel and to breathe. Chorus We are the poor souls of the past, Searching for solace, we long for a chance. Just want to be free from this tormentor's grasp, But the chains keep tightening, we're fading so fast. Bridge Haunted by visions of all we should be, While shadows around us whisper promises free. But the chains keep tightening, and the nights stretch so long, In the depths of despair, we’re still holding on strong. Chorus So please come and help us, don’t let us be lost, In this void of existence, we’re counting the cost. We are the poor souls of the past, left alone, Searching for freedom, a place we can call home. Outro Please come and help us, we’re reaching our hands, In a world full of silence, we still make our stands. We just want to be free, to rise from the ash, To escape from the shadows that loom from the past.

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 1) Transitions calling, in each line we write, Commas bring the meaning, making thoughts so bright, Extra info needed, keep it close in mind, Like Poe’s dark tales, in the words we find. (Chorus) Transitions, they guide us, from one thought to the next, With commas and parentheses, our sentences are blessed. Transitions, they’re vital, to show what we mean, In the world of writing, they keep our thoughts clean. (Verse 2) Parentheses whisper, softly in the text, Important little notes, that help us feel perplexed. Like Poe’s great journey, he excelled in his way, With info in the side, it brightens up the day. (Chorus) Transitions, they guide us, from one thought to the next, With commas and parentheses, our sentences are blessed. Transitions, they’re vital, to show what we mean, In the world of writing, they keep our thoughts clean. (Bridge) Brackets stand aside, they’re here but not so near, Extra facts to ponder, they make the message clear. Em-dashes call us, pause for what’s on cue, Related thoughts will linger, but the main stays true. (Chorus) Transitions, they guide us, from one thought to the next, With commas and parentheses, our sentences are blessed. Transitions, they’re vital, to show what we mean, In the world of writing, they keep our thoughts clean. (Outro) So let’s write with power, use transitions with care, In every sentence crafted, let’s show that we’re aware. Transitions calling, hear the message loud and clear, With clarity in writing, our voices will appear!

Verse 1: I’m standing still, but the world’s moving fast, Another cigarette, but it never seems to last, The city’s drowning in a neon haze, I’ve been running circles, lost in yesterday. Pre-Chorus: And you said we’d make it through the storm, But the skies are falling, and it’s not what we were warned, The silence screams, but no one hears, We’re all just waiting for the end of years. Chorus: Echoes in the rain, I hear your voice, but it’s never the same, We’re chasing shadows on the empty streets, Hoping we’ll find the light we’ll never meet, Echoes in the rain, We’re caught between love and the pain, We’re burning out, but we’re still alive, In the echoes, we’ll survive. Verse 2: I saw your face in the window last night, A flicker of hope in a world gone white, But you’ve slipped through my fingers like the mist, And the words we left unspoken still exist. Pre-Chorus: And you said it’s all part of the game, But now it feels like we’re drowning in the flames, All our dreams are crumbling like stone, I never thought I’d have to face this alone. Chorus: Echoes in the rain, I hear your voice, but it’s never the same, We’re chasing shadows on the empty streets, Hoping we’ll find the light we’ll never meet, Echoes in the rain, We’re caught between love and the pain, We’re burning out, but we’re still alive, In the echoes, we’ll survive. Bridge: Is there a way out, or are we just pretending? A thousand questions, but no happy endings, We’re spinning circles in a world so cold, But we’ll keep moving, ’cause we’re never sold. Chorus (Reprise): Echoes in the rain, I hear your voice, but it’s never the same, We’re chasing shadows on the empty streets, Hoping we’ll find the light we’ll never meet, Echoes in the rain, We’re caught between love and the pain, We’re burning out, but we’re still alive, In the echoes, we’ll survive. Outro: Echoes in the rain… We’ll survive, we’ll survive… Echoes in the rain…
