Title: City Ghosts

Verse 1
We were sparks in the static,
Flashing fast through midnight traffic.
Two strangers lit by the same regret,
Running from what we couldn’t forget.

Your jacket smelled like cold and fire,
The kind that burns but won’t expire.
You said, “This city never sleeps,”
But I swear I saw it dream when you looked at me.

Chorus
We were city ghosts—
Hearts on rooftops, chasing smoke.
Kissing where the streetlights broke,
Loving like we had no home.
You and I, we lost control,
Lit the night, then paid the toll.
This isn’t love in soft repose—
It’s fire and fight and city ghosts.

Verse 2
Your past came wrapped in warning signs,
I crossed them all like every line.
You told me, “People leave, that’s true,”
I said, “Then let’s be the ones who do.”

We danced through sirens, glass, and sound,
In a city built to break you down.
But you made even chaos kind—
A war I’d lose a thousand times.

Chorus
We were city ghosts—
Fading fast, but never close.
Living in the in-between,
Of who we are and who we’ve been.
You and I, we lit the fuse,
Loved like we had none to lose.
This isn’t peace, this isn’t prose—
It’s thunder, flame, and city ghosts.

Bridge
And maybe grace is just a lie
We tell ourselves to sleep at night.
But I’d still run every red light twice
If it meant one more look in your haunted eyes.

Final Chorus
We were city ghosts—
Torn in silence, tied in hope.
You left, but I still hear your toast
To shattered dreams and midnight oaths.
You and I, we won't be named,
But love like ours still haunts the frame.
This wasn’t soft, this wasn’t slow—
It was real, it was raw…
It was city ghosts.

  DEAR ANGEL from Aaron, to Angel [Verse 1] Hey sis, can you feel me in the quiet of your room? When the night gets heavy and you're drowning in the gloom I know I left a hole that no one else can fill But you should know I'm with you still You always saw the boy beneath the fame and fall When I was lost in echoes, you heard the call You held me close when the world turned cold Your love was the only thing I could hold [Chorus] Dear Angel, don’t cry for me tonight I’m the whisper in your heart when you’re losing the fight I know it hurts, but I’m finally free No more storms inside of me You were my anchor, my saving grace The only light in my darkest place Dear Angel, I never said goodbye But I love you more than words could ever try [Verse 2] Remember how we laughed in the backyard as kids? We built castles in the dirt, made dreams out of sticks I lost myself chasing shadows and stage lights But you were my compass in the night You prayed I’d make it, ...

  Title: “Villain in the Mirror” Verse 1 I throw glitter on a mess and call it art, Smile like I didn’t just fall apart. I light fires just to watch the glow, Then blame the wind when it starts to blow. I'm the friend who always runs too late, Blame the stars, blame the twist of fate. I ruin good things, call it “just bad luck,” Then cry when the pieces don’t add up. Pre-Chorus People say, “You shine, you're fine,” But they don’t see what hides behind— I play brave, I play sweet, But I trip over my own heartbeat. Chorus I’m the villain in the mirror, Wearing crowns made out of fear. I rewrite the story just to lose again, Make a mess and then pretend. I laugh too loud, I take it too far, Chase my flaws like they’re shooting stars. If there’s a monster here, it’s clearer— It’s the villain in the mirror. Verse 2 I text apologies I never send, Write happy endings I always bend. If love's a language, I mispronounce Every vow ‘til it doesn’t coun...

  Title: "Paper Wings" Verse 1 In the quiet of the morning, You trace the sky with your eyes, Dreams folded in your pocket, But too afraid to fly. Your voice, a whisper in the thunder, Your heart, a flame in the snow, You're stitched from soft and splintered things The world will never know. Chorus But don’t you know you’ve got paper wings, Drawn in ink that never fades? Even if the storm begins, You were born to break the cage. Every bruise became a feather, Every scar a silent song— You're stronger than you ever knew, You've been flying all along. Verse 2 You talk like the wind might leave you, Like love’s just a trick of the light, But I see the fire behind your fear, And the way you still choose to fight. You carry shadows in your suitcase, But there’s gold beneath the pain, You keep the sky inside your chest Like a promise in the rain. Chorus Don’t you know you’ve got paper wings, Drawn in ink that never fades? Even if the storm...
