Homeless in Athens

Verse 1 I’m a man chained to my mind, Every echo of silence, a reminder I can’t find, Wrestling with whispers that shatter my peace, In this tangled web of sorrow, there’s never release. Pre-Chorus Ghosts of yesterday dance in the dark, Every heartbeat a reminder that left its mark, Holding on to fragments, the moments we lost, But the cost of this love, it’s too high and tossed. Chorus Chained to shadows that linger and creep, Night after night, in my thoughts, I weep, No friends left for me, just memories that fade, In the solitude of dawn, it's a price I’ve paid. Verse 2 I walk through the echoes of long-gone days, Searching for comfort in the emptiness that stays, Each step feels heavier, the weight of regret, With every glance backward, I can’t forget. Pre-Chorus The chaos takes control, like a storm in my chest, Promises broken, they’ve put me to rest, A heart once so hopeful, now clings to despair, Like a prisoner of shadows, I’m gasping for air. Chorus Chained to shadows that linger and creep, Night after night, in my thoughts, I weep, No friends left for me, just memories that fade, In the solitude of dawn, it's a price I’ve paid. Bridge If I could break these chains, if only I could find, A glimpse of forgiveness, a reason to unwind, But the walls I’ve built, they’re so sturdy, so tall, And in this endless struggle, I’m destined to fall. Chorus Chained to shadows that linger and creep, Night after night, in my thoughts, I weep, No friends left for me, just memories that fade, In the solitude of dawn, it's a price I’ve paid. Outro So I’ll walk this tightrope of sorrow and pain, With the shadows beside me, they’ve become my chain, A man lost in silence, with nowhere to go, Chained to my mind, where the dark rivers flow.

[Verse] Echoes in the halls where silence once stood tall Walls of stained glass hide the cracks unseen by all Preaching golden truths while shadows climb the walls Ringing bells of change but who will heed the call [Verse] Wooden pews of prayer tainted with despair Whisper secret doubts in the dim-lit air Voices sing of love yet blind to what's unfair Saving shattered souls but do they truly care [Chorus] Fix the beams within your steeple Heal the hearts before the people Mend what's broken here at home Then the world you'll truly know [Verse] Crosses casting night hiding in the light Finger-pointing souls miss the loving sight Hands that offer help sometimes hold too tight Cleanse the dust within before the sins ignite [Bridge] Worn-out bibles speak lessons we've undone Healing starts right here beneath the setting sun If your heart is true the work is never done Look inside first before the world is won [Chorus] Fix the beams within your steeple Heal the hearts before the people Mend what's broken here at home Then the world you'll truly know

[Verse] Clocks keep ticking souls in chains Mind a storm of future pains Chasing shadows nights too dark Lost in thought can't find a spark [Verse 2] Treading paths that might not be Eyes wide shut trying to see Dreams of gold that fade away Worry drives the night to day [Chorus] Can’t you see what’s right here now Living moments show you how Future feeds a troubled mind Lose your grip on time you'll find [Verse 3] Future whispers loud and clear Fear and doubt both standing near Counting days like lines in sand Yesterday we made our stand [Verse 4] Running circles in my head Fretting over things not said Building towers made of dust Present slips can't find our trust [Chorus] Can’t you see what’s right here now Living moments show you how Future feeds a troubled mind Lose your grip on time you'll find

Title: Shadows of the Stage (Verse 1) In the neon glow, where dark meets the light, Animatronics dance, shrouded in the night. Their gears and wires twist, a macabre ballet, Forever singing to faces that fade away. (Chorus) Chasing whispers, shadows entwined, In a haunted serenade, what do we find? The laughter echoes, but the smiles decay, Animatronics dancing in their shelves of dismay. (Verse 2) The bunny silent, masking a ghoulish grin, Chasing scattered laughs, that's where chaos begins. With the flicker of the lights, and a laugh turned grim, He leads the fading faces down his hollow whim. (Chorus) Chasing whispers, shadows entwined, In a haunted serenade, what do we find? The laughter echoes, but the smiles decay, Animatronics dancing in their shelves of dismay. (Bridge) The dog, once loyal, now a broken toy, Eyes crazed with hunger, longing for the joy. Clawing through the memories, a rusted song, In the pit of darkness, where they all belong. (Verse 3) The fox, so quick, with a gleaming hook, Dancing through the madness, wherever it took. He weaves through the shadows, with a smile so sly, The night’s pulling tighter as the last sparks die. (Chorus) Chasing whispers, shadows entwined, In a haunted serenade, what do we find? The laughter echoes, but the smiles decay, Animatronics dancing in their shelves of dismay. (Outro) And the cat sits waiting, blind but attuned, Hearing footsteps echo, where sorrow looms. In this grand theatre of lives once bright, Animatronics dance till the end of the night. (Fade out) Animatronics whisper, with fading embrace, Underneath the spotlight, they vanish without trace. Their song a requiem, for the faces that flee, Forever singing, in their dark reverie.

[Verse] Parked by the ruins under moonlight's spell Athens whispers ancient tales I can tell Dusty streets my kingdom in the cold Every night a new story unfolds [Verse 2] Windows cracked the stars my ceiling high Broken dreams but I won't cry Echoes of the city fill my soul In my car I find control [Chorus] I'm the landlord I'm the landlord In this city I'm adored No walls no doors but I own it all In the shadows I stand tall [Verse 3] Waking up with the sunrise painting hue Every day a battle but I'm true Athens streets a canvas wide and vast In my rearview history's cast [Verse 4] Lost in alleys where the myths reside No address but I take it in stride Whispering winds tell me ancient lore In my car I'm forevermore [Chorus] I'm the landlord I'm the landlord In this city I'm adored No walls no doors but I own it all In the shadows I stand tall

[Verse] We stand on earth with feet of clay Our hearts weigh heavy every day We seek the truth in light unseen In mortal flesh we dream between [Verse 2] The world of man with faults and fears But spirit whispers in our ears A realm unseen so vast so bright Where mortal strife "tis swallowed by light [Chorus] Oh break these chains that bind our soul In truth we find the purest goal The mortal fades but love will shine In God's embrace we intertwine [Verse 3] A mortal frame may bend and break But spirit strong will not forsake For every sorrow every tear A promise of the kingdom near [Bridge] Immortal life beyond the veil With faith we tread on holy trail The mortal leaves a fleeting trace But spirit finds its saving grace [Verse 4] In silent prayer we touch the sky Where mortal waves in stillness lie The truth eternal will reveal That life in God is whole and real

[Verse] Too many thoughts I can’t sleep tonight What if the past could make things right? I sip on dreams but they taste so dry The life I wanted just passed me by [Pre-Chorus] I’m fading away like a whisper in the rain I'm lost in the noise of a thousand silent pains [Chorus] Catch me dreaming on the edge of the night Where broken stars still try to shine bright In a world where shadows dance with the day I'll find my voice and chase the fears away [Verse 2] Memories linger like old melody lines Wishing on wishes that never align The sky's a canvas of forgotten hues But I paint my doubts in hopeful blues [Chorus] Catch me dreaming on the edge of the night Where broken stars still try to shine bright In a world where shadows dance with the day I'll find my voice and chase the fears away [Bridge] So I'll write a new song with the pen of my heart Every note a fresh start where dreams can depart Beyond the twilight where the echoes stay I'll find my place and let the music play
