[Intro]
[Instrumental Intro: Funk Bass Groove, Shimmering Guitar Chords, Hand Percussion, Rising Synth Heatwave FX]
The pavement’s glowing after dark
Has someone turned up nature’s spark
Fans are spinning, windows wide
Looking for a place to hide

[Verse 1]
[Arrangement: Tight Drum Pocket, Syncopated Bassline, Clean Guitar Chops, Warm Organ Layer]
Summer lingers past its stay
Breaking records day by day
People searching for relief
While forecasts bring them added grief

The river’s running low and slow
Fields are thirsting down below
Something’s changed within the scene
Not quite what it used to mean

[Chorus]
[Arrangement: Driving Drums, Bright Synth Leads, Layered Vocals, Wide Rhythm Guitars]
The scene is getting hot
(Oh, so hot)
And can you tell me why not
(Make it stop)

Heat keeps rising
(Up and up)
Turn down the burner
(Before it erupts)

[Verse 2]
[Arrangement: Pulsing Synth Bass, Percussive Piano Stabs, Echo Guitar Licks, Steady Groove]
Shade is getting hard to find
The forecast’s always on my mind
Thunder builds but brings no rain
Just another wave again

Folks keep talking on the news
Arguing conflicting views
But the thermometer doesn’t care
It’s just hanging in the air

[Refrain]
[Arrangement: Call-and-Response Vocals, Tom Drums, Organ Swells, Crowd Harmony Layer]
Hot, hot, hot
(Oh, so hot)
Can we weather the weather?
(Or does it depend on whether…)

Hot, hot, hot
(Oh, so hot)

We adapt
(Or maybe not)

[Bridge]
[Arrangement: Half-Time Breakdown, Deep Bass Drone, Atmospheric Synth Pads, Tension Cymbal Rolls]
Will wisdom start today
Find cooler, better ways
Not just coping with the heat
But changing how the story strays

[Chorus]
[Arrangement: Full Band Anthem, Massive Drum Accents, Harmonized Vocals, Expansive Synth Layers]
The scene is getting hot
(Oh, so hot)
And can you tell me why not
(Make it stop)

Turn concern
(Into a plot)
For a future
(That’s not so hot)

[Outro]
[Arrangement: Fading Guitar Delay, Soft Organ Sustain, Gentle Wind FX, Slow Bass Decay]
The night’s still warm at half past two
Holding on like summer glue
And somewhere in the parking lot
Someone whispers…

“Oh, so hot.”

From the album “Raze“

[Intro]
[Instrumental Intro: Upbeat Bass Groove, Hand Claps, Crunchy Rhythm Guitar, Carnival Organ Riff]
Step right up, enjoy the show
Start the sparks and watch them grow
Come… get a seat
For the latest self-defeat

[Verse 1]
[Arrangement: Driving Rock Beat, Walking Bassline, Bright Guitar Chops, Playful Keyboard Stabs]
Somebody lit a little match
Someone else said, “Watch this catch!”
Soon the crowd was ten rows deep
Taking videos instead of sleep

Warnings posted everywhere
Nobody seemed to really care
Laughter echoed through the smoke
As another safeguard broke

[Pre-Chorus]
[Arrangement: Rising Tom Fills, Organ Swell, Vocal Harmony Build, Cymbal Crescendo]
They all gathered ’round the fire
(To watch ‘er burn)
Fanning flames higher
(Ya think they’ll ever learn?)

Cheering loud
(As the heat grows hotter)
Standing proud
(While things get harder)

[Chorus]
[Arrangement: Anthemic Power Chords, Gang Vocals, Driving Drums, Thick Bass Groove]
Havin’ fun
(While Rome is burnin’)
Never done
(And never learnin’)

Laughin’ loud
(As the walls are turnin’)
Workin’ hard
(At not discernin’)

[Verse 2]
[Arrangement: Syncopated Bass Pulse, Distorted Guitar Hooks, Tight Snare Groove, Crowd Chant FX]
Round and round the wheel it goes
Everyone already knows
Yet somehow we’re still surprised
When consequences arrive

Build it up and tear it down
Pass the blame around the town
Then act shocked when history
Repeats itself repeatedly

[Refrain]
[Arrangement: Call-and-Response Vocals, Tom Drum Groove, Organ Chords, Crowd Claps]
Same mistake
(Do it again)
Same mistake
(Back to begin)

Same excuse
(Used back then)
Same result
(Again and again)

[Bridge]
[Arrangement: Half-Time Breakdown, Deep Bass Drone, Distorted Organ, Feedback Guitar Layers]
Maybe someday we’ll decide
To stop enjoying the ride
When the joke has run too long
And the punchline’s gone all wrong

[Chorus]
[Arrangement: Full Band Explosion, Double-Time Drums, Massive Vocal Stack, Harmonized Guitar Leads]
Havin’ fun
(While Rome is burnin’)
Never done
(And never learnin’)

Round and round
(The wheel keeps turnin’)
Watch it spin
(Without concernin’)

[Outro]
[Arrangement: Fading Carnival Organ, Distant Crowd Laughter, Slow Drum Decay, Crackling Fire FX]
The fire glows against the night
Everybody says it’s bright
And somewhere through the smoke and din
We prepare to do it all again.

[Refrain]
[Arrangement: Call-and-Response Vocals, Tom Drum Groove, Organ Chords, Crowd Claps]
Same mistake
(Do it again)
Same mistake
(Back to begin)

From the album “Raze“

[Intro]
[Instrumental Intro: Pulsing Analog Bass, Clean Electric Guitar Chops, Soft Synth Pad, Steady Electronic Kick]
Clocks are ticking in dim-lit rooms
Moments shifting out of tune
Voices cut through rising noise
Trying to decode the choice

[Verse 1]
[Arrangement: Mid-Tempo Groove, Warm Bassline, Bright Rhythm Guitar, Light Percussion Layer]
Seconds fracture, slip away
Turning night into the day
What we thought would stay intact
Slides beyond the simple fact

Futures flicker like a screen
Never quite what they mean
Paths ahead begin to bend
Before they reach a known end

[Pre-Chorus]
[Arrangement: Rising Synth Stabs, Tight Drum Build, Echoed Vocal Layers, Increasing Tension]
Oh, yeah?
(Yeah.)
Are sure…
(Of the future)

Is it clear?
(Or just confusion?)
Moving near
(Or dissolution?)

[Chorus]
[Arrangement: Anthemic Power Chords, Driving Drums, Layered Harmonies, Wide Synth Expansion]
Yes! I’m sure
(There’s future)
For sure

Yeah!
(It’s for real)
Watch it pass
(Into the past)

Time won’t wait
(It accelerates)
Frame by frame
(It recalibrates)

[Verse 2]
[Arrangement: Pulsing Bass Synth, Syncopated Guitar Rhythm, Soft Arpeggiated Keys, Atmospheric FX]
We keep chasing what comes next
Reading life like coded text
But the future never stays still
It bends around intent and will

Hope becomes a shifting line
Drawn between space and time
When a moment is defined
It’s already left behind

[Bridge / Refrain]
[Arrangement: Half-Time Groove, Deep Sub Bass, Ambient Pad Swells, Repetitive Vocal Chant]
Don’t wait
(Or it will be too late)

Move now
(Before it escapes somehow)

Hold tight
(Through fading light)

Let go
(Or you’ll never know)

[Final Chorus]
[Arrangement: Full Band Explosion, Double-Time Drums, Massive Synth Layers, Harmonized Vocal Stack]
Yes! I’m sure
(There’s future)
For sure

Yeah!
(It’s for real)
Watch it pass
(Into the past)

What you hold
(Starts to unfold)
Turns to what
(Has been told)
The tale
(Of the tail)
End

[Outro]
[Arrangement: Fading Piano Motif, Soft Synth Drone, Echoed Guitar Harmonics, Slow Tape-Stop FX]
[Bass Harmony Spoken Vocals]
The future slips without a sound
Becomes the past before it’s found
And all that time allows to see
Is what has already been.

From the album “Raze“

[Intro]
[Instrumental Intro: Fast Pulsing Bass, Tremolo Guitar, Rising Synth Sirens, Driving Floor Tom Build]
Smoke on the horizon line
Another warning sign in time
Most people standing still
While the fire climbs the hill

[Verse 1]
[Arrangement: Urgent Drum Groove, Distorted Rhythm Guitar, Deep Bass Pulse, Atmospheric Synth Layers]
Some keep saying “wait and see”
Like delay will set us free
But the sparks are in the wind
And the cycle starts again
All the seconds matters now
No more asking only how
When the edge begins to glow
You either move or lose below

[Chorus]
[Arrangement: Anthemic Power Chords, Layered Vocals, Explosive Drums, Wide Synth Swells]
Get out in front of the blaze
(So that you don’t get razed)
Run as fast as you can
(To be the last standing man)
Move before the flames arrive
(If you want to stay alive)
See the signs through the haze
(Get ahead of the blaze)

[Verse 2]
[Arrangement: Driving Bassline, Syncopated Guitar Chops, Tight Snare Groove, Electronic Percussion FX]
History repeats its path
Built from denial, greed, and wrath
Who doesn’t want escape
After sealing their own fate
But survival takes more sight
Than reacting in the night
Preparation beats regret
Before the world is soaking wet

[Bridge]
[Arrangement: Half-Time Breakdown, Deep Organ Drone, Sustained Guitar Feedback, Tension Cymbal Rolls]
Ashes fall where warnings failed
Where the slow response derailed
But the ones who read the sky
Learned when it was time to fly

[Chorus]
[Arrangement: Full Band Explosion, Double-Time Drums, Harmonized Guitar Leads, Massive Vocal Stack]
Get out in front of the blaze
(So that you don’t get razed)
Run as fast as you can
(To be the last standing man)
Think ahead and change your ways
(Before you feed the blaze)
Raise the future from the flame
(Or repeat the same old game)

[Outro]
[Arrangement: Fading Siren Synths, Echo Guitar Delay, Slow Drum Decay, Ambient Wind FX]
Smoke still rising through the night
Some escaped by seeing right
Ahead of the blaze they ran
Before it swallowed all the land.

From the album “Raze“

[Intro]
[Instrumental Intro: Distorted Synth Pulse, Echo Guitar Swells, Tight Electronic Beat, Low Organ Drone]
Scrolling headlines blur the truth
Everyone selling their proof
Voices louder every day
Meaning slowly stripped away

[Verse 1]
[Arrangement: Driving Bassline, Muted Guitar Chops, Snappy Snare Groove, Atmospheric Synth Layers]
Facts dissolve inside the spin
Outrage always seems to win
Each question turned to flame
Same side repeats the same

Learning takes a little time
But rage arrives on cue online
Quick reactions feed the feed
While reflection starts to bleed

[Chorus]
[Arrangement: Anthemic Power Chords, Layered Harmonies, Expanding Synth Pads, Heavy Drum Accents]
Oh, I see
(Now you razed the question)
Obviously
(There’s little room for education)

Oh, I know
(You want sensation)
Not the “know”
(Process of realization)

[Verse 2]
[Arrangement: Pulsing Synth Bass, Delayed Guitar Lines, Syncopated Drum Pattern, Vocal Echo FX]
Libraries replaced by streams
Thought compressed to tiny memes
So many want the prize
Without the work of deeper eyes

Wisdom doesn’t trend too fast
That’s why shallow moments don’t last
Noise becomes the atmosphere
Till nobody can truly hear

[Bridge]
[Arrangement: Half-Time Breakdown, Deep Bass Drone, Ambient Choir Synth, Sustained Guitar Feedback]
If every fact gets shouted down
Truth gets buried underground
Questions may be the roots we need
To help a better future lead
But listening to the reply
Is essential for knowing “why”

[Chorus]
[Arrangement: Full Band Explosion, Double-Time Drums, Harmonized Guitar Leads, Massive Vocal Stack]
Oh, I see
(Now you razed the question)
Obviously
(There’s little room for education)

Oh, beware
(Of imitation)
Empty glare
(Without illumination)

[Outro]
[Arrangement: Fading Piano Notes, Soft Static FX, Ambient Synth Glow, Slow Drum Decay]
Somewhere underneath the noise
Still remains a wiser voice
Waiting through the separation
For the return of education.
(Man, when can man understand)

From the album “Raze“

[Intro]
[Instrumental Intro: Warm Analog Synth Pad, Soft Electric Piano, Gentle Groove Bass, Subtle Vinyl Crackle]
Waking up with all these choices
Trying to distinguish all the voices
In each signal pulling through
Do you wonder what is true?

[Verse 1]
[Arrangement: Clean Guitar Rhythm, Steady Mid-Tempo Drum Beat, Ambient Synth Layers, Light Percussion]
Flickering lights on every screen
Half the truth and in-between
Those out selling extreme dreams
Not much is quite what it seems

But underneath the shifting glow
There’s a place I think I know
Where the signal cuts it clear
And everything becomes sincere

[Chorus]
[Arrangement: Expansive Synth Chords, Driving Bassline, Layered Harmonies, Rising Drum Accent]
Do you feel
(In the real)
Is your soul
(On a roll)

Are you here
(Crystal clear)
Can you reveal
(Not conceal)

[Verse 2]
[Arrangement: Pulsing Bass Synth, Echoed Guitar Licks, Syncopated Drums, Atmospheric Pads]
Another thought gets amplified
Another feeling quantified
But beyond the data stream
Lives a quieter kind of dream

Not a filter, not a code
But the path beneath the road
Where the heartbeat meets the ground
And the truth stops spinning round

[Bridge]
[Arrangement: Half-Time Groove, Ambient Piano, Sustained Guitar Feedback, Rising Choir Synth]
If the world is just a show
How would anyone ever know
What is real and what is spun
Underneath the artificial sun?

[Chorus]
[Arrangement: Full Band Lift, Anthemic Drums, Wide Stereo Guitars, Powerful Vocal Stack]
Do you feel
(In the real)
Is your soul
(On a roll)

Break the seal
(Start to feel)
What is real
(Find ideal)

[Outro]
[Arrangement: Fading Electric Piano, Soft Ambient Drone, Gentle Guitar Harmonics, Slow Drum Decay]
Strip away the static veil
Let the quieter truth prevail
In the real, we learn to be
Something closer to free.

From the album “Raze“

[Intro]
[Instrumental Intro: Bright Synth Arpeggios, Funk Bass Groove, Clean Guitar Chops, Light Cymbal Washes]
Sunlight pouring through the haze
We’re waking from a thousand days
Something shifting deep inside
No more reason left to hide

[Verse 1]
[Arrangement: Upbeat Drum Groove, Warm Electric Piano, Bouncy Bassline, Layered Hand Percussion]
Spent so long inside my head
Replaying every word once said
Carrying the weight around
Till I nearly hit the ground

[Refrain]
[Arrangement: Expansive Harmonies, Bright Guitar Strums, Rising Synth Pads, Driving Drum Accents]
Finally
(Feeling oh so fine)
Fine-ally
(In totality)
Fine, fine, fine
(Feel fine?)
Let it shine

Finally
(Aligned in time)
Fine-ally
(Body and mind)
Light the sky
(And redefine)

[Verse 2]
[Arrangement: Pulsing Bass Synth, Rhythmic Guitar Picking, Tight Snare Groove, Airy Background Vocals]
No perfection, no disguise
Just a clearer set of eyes
Now the rhythm feels alive
More than just a way to survive

[Bridge]
[Arrangement: Half-Time Groove, Ambient Piano Chords, Choir Synth Layers, Sustained Guitar Leads]

[Refrain]
[Arrangement: Full Band Lift, Anthemic Drums, Layered Vocal Stack, Sparkling Synth Textures]
Finally
(Feeling oh so fine)
Fine-ally
(In totality)
Fine, fine, fine
(Feel fine?)
Let it shine

Rise above
(The old design)
Feel the pulse
(Of the lifeline)

[Outro]
[Arrangement: Fading Electric Piano, Soft Synth Glow, Echo Guitar Harmonics, Gentle Crowd Vocals]
Fine at last beneath the sun
Not because the race was won
But because I learned to find
A lovely peace of mind.

From the album “Raze“

[Intro]
[Instrumental Intro: Warm Acoustic Guitar Strum, Soft Piano Chords, Gentle Wind FX, Slow Organic Percussion]
Ash still drifting through the air
Echoes of what used to be there
Silent earth beneath the smoke
Waiting for a hand to cope

[Verse 1]
[Arrangement: Fingerpicked Guitar, Subtle Bassline, Light Kick Drum, Ambient Pad]
You watched it all collapse in flame
Called it change, called it a name
But nothing grows from empty pride
If nothing lives on either side

Every ending leaves a ground
Where new beginnings can be found
Perhaps ruin has a role
If you let it make you whole

[Chorus]
[Arrangement: Expansive Folk-Rock Build, Layered Harmonies, Steady Drum Rise, Bright String Pad]
So, you burned it down
(Razed to the ground)
Sow, plant the seed
(For what we need)

Turn the soil
(From ash and heat)
Break the cycle
(Make it complete)

[Verse 2]
[Arrangement: Pulsing Bass Guitar, Strummed Acoustic Rhythm, Soft Percussion, Melodic Lead Guitar]
What you tear away in rage
Becomes the opening of a page
But only if you choose to grow
Not just let destruction show

The field begins as dust
The future builds on trust
Even fire has to fade
To let the new world be made

[Bridge]
[Arrangement: Half-Time Groove, Ambient Strings, Resonant Piano, Gentle Rising Choir]
If you scatter seeds in ash
Will they vanish in the crash?
Or will something find a way
To rise again another day?

[Chorus]
[Arrangement: Full Band Lift, Anthemic Drums, Wide Harmonies, Expansive Acoustic Strumming]
So, you burned it down
(Razed to the ground)
Sow, plant the seed
(For what we need)

Heal the land
(Start again)
Let it stand
(Where it’s been)

[Outro]
[Arrangement: Soft Acoustic Fade, Wind Through Fields FX, Light Piano Echo, Gentle Ambient Pad]
From the ashes something grows
That’s the truth that everyone knows
What we break and what we sow
Decides the world we’ll come to know.

From the album “Raze“

[Intro]
[Instrumental Intro: Clean Acoustic Guitar, Soft Synth Atmosphere, Light Cymbal Swells, Gentle Bass Pulse]
Morning opens through the gray
Clouds begin to drift away
Silence settling after years
Washing out the noise and fears

[Verse 1]
[Arrangement: Fingerpicked Guitar, Warm Electric Piano, Steady Brush Drums, Ambient Organ Pad]
I was running without rest
Carrying the weight in my chest
Every answer felt too far
Like chasing after fading stars

But the storm began to slow
And something deeper started to show
Not perfection, not design
Just a quiet state of mind

[Chorus]
[Arrangement: Expansive Acoustic Strums, Layered Harmonies, Rising Synth Pads, Mid-Tempo Drum Lift]
There’s a clearing
(Of the skies)
There’s a clearing
(Of my mind)

As I find…
The worth of tries

There’s a feeling
(Deep inside)
That the meaning
(Is a rising tide)

[Verse 2]
[Arrangement: Pulsing Bassline, Delayed Guitar Echoes, Light Percussion Groove, Airy Background Vocals]
The failure left a mark
Tiny lanterns in the dark
Pointing where I shouldn’t go
Teaching what I couldn’t know

Now the wind feels less severe
And distant voices sound more clear
Not because the world has changed
But because I rearranged

[Bridge]
[Arrangement: Half-Time Beat, Ambient Piano Chords, Soft Choir Synths, Sustained Guitar Leads]
When the road bends apart
Follow the map inside the heart
With a fall and then a climb
It shapes the rhythm over time

[Chorus]
[Arrangement: Full Band Lift, Harmonized Guitar Leads, Wide Stereo Synths, Powerful Vocal Stack]
There’s a clearing
(Of the skies)
There’s a clearing
(Of my mind)

As I find…
The worth of tries

There’s a reason
(We survive)
Through the breaking
(We arrive)

[Outro]
[Arrangement: Fading Acoustic Guitar, Soft Wind FX, Slow Piano Notes, Gentle Synth Sustain]
Clouds dissolve into the blue
And I finally follow through
Not by force or perfect timing
But by simply still trying.

From the album “Raze“

[Intro]
[Instrumental Intro: Dark Ambient Synth Drone, Sparse Kick Drum, Reverbed Piano Hits, Low Electric Guitar Feedback]
City lights are leaning low
As if they don’t know where to go
Everything begins to tilt
Built on fractures, pride, and guilt

[Verse 1]
[Arrangement: Steady Mid-Tempo Drum Groove, Muted Bassline, Clean Guitar Arpeggios, Cold Synth Pads]
We keep drawing crooked lines
Calling chaos “just designs”
But the balance starts to slip
Right beneath the fingertip

[Chorus]
[Arrangement: Heavy Driving Rhythm, Distorted Guitar Layers, Rising Synth Swells, Vocal Stack Emphasis]
Come on…
Level with me
(Do you want to level the ground)

Come on…
Please tell me
(Are we really bent… hell bound?)

Come on…
Break the seam
(What does it mean?)

Come on…
Wake the dream
(From what’s unseen)

[Verse 2]
[Arrangement: Pulsing Bass Synth, Syncopated Drum Hits, Echoed Guitar Lines, Atmospheric Noise FX]
We pretend the floor is straight
While ignoring what we create
But distortion starts to show
In the places we don’t go

[Bridge]
[Arrangement: Half-Time Breakdown, Deep Sub Bass, Sustained Organ, Rising Tension Cymbal Swells]
If the world is off by just a line
At what point do we redefine
What is stable, what is real
What we break and what we heal?

[Chorus]
[Arrangement: Full Band Explosion, Layered Harmonies, Anthemic Guitar Leads, Massive Drum Hits]
Come on…
Level with me
(Do you want to level the ground)

Come on…
Please tell me
(Are we really bent… hell bound?)

Come on…
Stand or fall
(Through it all)

Come on…
Hear the call
(To unfall)

[Outro]
[Arrangement: Fading Piano Motif, Low Ambient Drone, Soft Guitar Harmonics, Slow Reverb Tail]
The world still tilts when no one sees
Balance lost in subtle degrees
And somewhere in the shifting frame
We keep calling out a name… “level.”
(Well…)
… level
(Well…)

From the album “Raze“

[Intro]
[Instrumental Intro: Dark Ambient Synth Pad, Low Sub-Bass Pulse, Metallic Percussion Hits, Reverse Piano Swells]
Lines begin to fade away
Memory dissolves in gray
Something shifting in the code
Where the old beliefs once rode

[Verse 1]
[Arrangement: Minimal Electronic Beat, Echoed Guitar Tones, Muted Bassline, Cold Synth Texture]
History written, then erased
Truth rewritten, re-replaced
Every record starts to blur
Nothing solid to concur

Names and numbers lose their place
Faces vanish without trace
Still we ask who draws the line
Between decay and design

[Chorus]
[Arrangement: Driving Industrial Rhythm, Layered Vocals, Rising Distorted Synths, Heavy Kick Drum]
Erasure
(Are you sure?)
Erasure
(Premature)

Ensure
(The future)

Strive to thrive!
(Survive alive)

Break the seal
(Unreal reveal)
What is real?
(We redefine)
… fine….

[Verse 2]
[Arrangement: Pulsing Bass Synth, Syncopated Percussion, Glitch Effects, Distant Choir Pads]
The system built to last
Gets rewritten from the past
The truth begins again
When control begins to end

But what remains when all is gone?
What do we evolve upon?
Is erasure just the start
Of a rewritten heart?

[Bridge]
[Arrangement: Half-Time Breakdown, Deep Drone Bass, Echoing Piano Motif, Tension Build FX]
If we clear the ancient script
Do we lose what made us lift?
Or is clearing just the way
We make room for something new someday?

[Chorus]
[Arrangement: Full Industrial Anthem, Massive Drum Hits, Layered Harmonies, Wide Synth Expansion]
Erasure
(Are you sure?)
Erasure
(Premature)

Ensure
(The future)

Strive to thrive!
(Survive alive)

Recompose
(The unknown)
Seeds are sown
(From what’s grown)

[Outro]
[Arrangement: Fading Static Noise, Soft Ambient Drone, Slow Reverse Piano, Distant Digital Echoes]
What is gone is not the end
Just the place where we begin
Erasure writes a different page
As we turn into the age.

From the album “Raze“

[Intro]
[Instrumental Intro: Soft Piano Motif, Gentle Synth Pad, Light Fingerpicked Guitar, Subtle Heartbeat Kick Drum]

Morning breaks through fractured glass
Neverending starts to pass
Holding on to something small
Even when we risk it all

[Verse 1]
[Arrangement: Warm Bassline, Clean Electric Guitar, Steady Mid-Tempo Drum Groove, Ambient Strings]

I’ve been here before the fall
Answering a distant call
Every promise in my hand
Always slipping like sand

Still I reach and still I try
Underneath a shifting sky
Even when the nights are long
Something pulls me on

[Chorus]
[Arrangement: Expansive Rhythm Guitars, Layered Harmonies, Rising Synth Swells, Full Drum Accent]

Raised my hopes
Don’t let me down
(Down, down, down)

Off the ropes
Spinning round
(Round, round, round)

Hold me close
Don’t let go now
(How, how, how)

Lost and found
Still I vow
(I won’t bow)

[Verse 2]
[Arrangement: Pulsing Bass Synth, Echoed Guitar Chops, Syncopated Drum Pattern, Soft Choir Pads]

If the rise has its cost
Then retain gain and lessen the loss
Still I gamble with the light
In the shadow of the night

Even bruised, I stand again
The everending guides a friend
Telling me to not retreat
When the world knocks at my feet

[Bridge]
[Arrangement: Half-Time Groove, Ambient Piano, Swelling Strings, Tension Cymbal Rolls]

If hope is just a fragile flame
Why does it still call my name?
Through the chaos, through the sound
It keeps spinning me around

[Chorus]
[Arrangement: Full Band Lift, Anthemic Drums, Wide Stereo Guitars, Powerful Vocal Stack]

Raised my hopes
Don’t let me down
(Down, down, down)

Off the ropes
Spinning round
(Round, round, round)

Break the fall
Turn it around
(Found, found, found)

Still I rise
From the ground
(Without a sound)

[Outro]
[Arrangement: Fading Piano Arpeggios, Soft Guitar Harmonics, Distant Reverb Vocals, Gentle Wind FX]

Even if I lose my way
Hope keeps spinning every day
Round and round, it won’t erase
The light I still chase.
