There was a time I owned the light, Skinny jeans and neon nights, Hair slicked back, eyeliner bright, A twink in bloom, the world was right. But time moves fast, the mirror tells, The cheekbones fade, the stories swell. The youthful glow, it slips away, Twink death’s shadow comes to stay. Twink death, oh, it’s coming for me, Lines on my face where smooth used to be. I’ve lost the charm, the boyish spree, Twink death, oh, set me free. Used to rule the dancefloor haze, Velvet touch and fiery gaze. But now they call me “Daddy,” why? I’m still that boy inside, oh my. The gym won’t save me, nor the creams, The TikTok trends or fleeting dreams. I mourn the boy, embrace the man, Twink death’s a chapter in the plan. Twink death, oh, it’s calling my name, A rite of passage, a cultural game. From glittered youth to steady flame, Twink death, I’m not the same. But there’s a power in growing old, In stories lived and truths retold. The twink may die, but I survive, In every shade, I’m still alive. Twink death, it’s not the end, Just a new chapter, my old friend. I’ll own the stage, I’ll bend the trend, Twink death, my heart will mend.

[Verse] Broken dreams in a suitcase Streets scream silent cries Arms reaching out to nothing Eyes bloodshot under dark skies [Verse 2] Lost youth in alleyways Despair with nowhere to run Anger burns like acid rain Hollow hearts seeking the sun [Chorus] Fists clenched tight in shadows Nightmares written in the blood Voices rise like a tidal wave Drowning in the endless flood [Verse 3] Cigarettes and empty bottles Hope shattered like broken glass Tears fall like forgotten raindrops Living life through a cracked lens [Bridge] Darkness whispers secrets Cold winds echo pain Siren songs from distant corners Life wrapped in chains [Chorus] Fists clenched tight in shadows Nightmares written in the blood Voices rise like a tidal wave Drowning in the endless flood

[Verse] Shadows on the ceiling, heart steady bleeding, Eyes like storm clouds, pain ain’t receding, Old wounds reopening, tears keep streaming, Walking through nightmares while still daydreaming. [Verse 2] Soul cut to ribbons, lost in the doldrums, Words hit like bullets, each one a conundrum, Love turns to ashes, caught in a maelstrom, Mirror shows a stranger, reflection of dysfunction. [Chorus] Midnight moon hangs heavy in the sky, Pieces of my heart scattered, asking why, Ghosts of yesterdays whisper loud inside, Running from the darkness, nowhere left to hide. [Verse 3] Scars tattooed deep, memories they’re haunted, Demons on my shoulders, territory they’ve stunted, Voices in my head, constant and daunted, Chasing sanity, but it feels unwanted. [Verse 4] Numb to the marrow, drowning in sorrow, Hope feels distant, barely see tomorrow, Life’s a broken record, cracked and hollow, Searching for a beacon, firefly to follow. [Chorus] Midnight moon hangs heavy in the sky, Pieces of my heart scattered, asking why, Ghosts of yesterdays whisper loud inside, Running from the darkness, nowhere left to hide.

Verse 1 Late at night when the silence is loud, I wear my pain like a shroud. It’s not the blood, it’s not the scar, It’s trying to feel where the numbness starts. They see my skin, but not my war, Each line’s a story, a hurt I ignore. I’m searching for something, a release, a sign, But the wounds just fade, leaving me behind. Pre-Chorus And I know it’s not the way to heal, But the blade’s the only thing that feels real. I don’t want to die, I just want to breathe, To escape this weight that’s crushing me. Chorus It’s not the cut, it’s the scream inside, The silent war that I try to hide. I’m breaking apart, piece by piece, Begging for a moment of release. It’s not the blood—it’s the fight for control, Trying to stitch back a fractured soul. Verse 2 It’s a fleeting moment, a temporary fix, A shadow dance in the dark abyss. But when the sun rises, I feel the shame, A cycle of hurt I can’t contain. Don’t tell me to stop, don’t say “just quit,” You don’t know the weight I carry with it. It’s not about wanting to end my time, It’s about trying to quiet my mind. Pre-Chorus And I know there’s a better way to cope, But some nights it feels like my only rope. I’m not broken, just lost at sea, Trying to find the shore in the dark with me. Chorus It’s not the cut, it’s the scream inside, The silent war that I try to hide. I’m breaking apart, piece by piece, Begging for a moment of release. It’s not the blood—it’s the fight for control, Trying to stitch back a fractured soul. Bridge But maybe one day, I’ll find the strength, To face the dark and walk the length. I’ll trade the blade for a pen, a brush, To paint the storm, to let it hush. Outro It’s not the end, it’s a cry for care, A plea for someone to meet me there. And if you’re like me, just know it’s true, You’re more than the scars—you’ll make it through.

[pre-chorus] i try to forget, but i can’t sleep on my own your face in the red of my eyelids in the middle of the night i leave home the snow falls and the frost bites my skin [chorus] i stand at my intersection and cry you left a burning mark on my soul the distance is only a matter of time the flame burns steady and slow [bridge] when the sun meets the sky, i will be okay until then, i taint my spirit with cigarettes i know the stars will align some day and we’ll light the fireplace when the sun sets [chorus] i stand at my intersection and cry you left a burning mark on my soul the distance is only a matter of time the flame burns steady and slow [outro] steady and slow we burn steady and slow we burn we burn steady and slow we burn steady and slow
[Verse] Neon lights glimmer down the icy streets Silent nights where no one ever meets Heartbeats echo like a cold winter wind Lost in dreams where our story begins [Verse] Snowflakes fall but they melt in my hand Frozen hopes like footprints in the sand Crying out but the night devours my call Every wish feels like hitting a wall [Chorus] Broken bells ring in the shadows we cast Echoes sing of a love that couldn't last Midnight tears on this loneliest night Walking through this cold Christmas fight [Verse] Candles flicker in the draft of despair Hoping someone Somewhere Might care The joy fades with the morning’s pale light Leaving always this hollow bite [Bridge] Christmas past had the warmth we could hold Now it's a tale that feels awfully old Emptiness wrapped up in silver bow ties Hiding sorrow behind festive lies [Chorus] Broken bells ring in the shadows we cast Echoes sing of a love that couldn't last Midnight tears on this loneliest night Walking through this cold Christmas fight
