[Verse 1]
I was sinking in the water,
But I kept my eyes shut tight.
Felt your hand try to save me,
But I couldn’t trust the light.
Every smile’s been a weapon,
Every word’s turned to a scar—
So when you reached for me,
I didn’t know who you are.

[Pre-Chorus]
I’ve been burned by the ones who swore they’d stay,
So don’t ask why I pulled away.

[Chorus]
Don’t reach for me—
I’m already too far down.
This world has taught me drowning
Feels safer than being found.
These scars you can’t see,
They bleed beneath my skin.
I wear them like armor
Just to keep the hurt in.
I’m not cold, I’m just tired…
Of never being believed.
Don’t reach for me—
Just let me sink in peace.

[Verse 2]
I kept count on my own body,
All the pain I couldn’t scream.
Used my skin like a canvas,
So they’d see what they did to me.
You think love is a lifeline—
But I’ve learned it’s just a blade.
And the last time I reached out,
It nearly dug my grave.

[Pre-Chorus]
So when you held your hand out like a vow,
You didn’t know I couldn’t trust you now.

[Chorus]
Don’t reach for me—
I’m already too far down.
This world has taught me drowning
Feels safer than being found.
These scars you can’t see,
They bleed beneath my skin.
I wear them like armor
Just to keep the hurt in.
I’m not cold, I’m just tired…
Of never being believed.
Don’t reach for me—
Just let me sink in peace.

[Bridge]
I wanted to believe…
God, I wanted to reach—
But too many lies
Have buried that piece.
Now I’m breaking,
And no one sees—
What they’ve done to me.

[Breakdown]
You made me like this!
You looked away!
Now I rot in silence—
While you pray!

[Final Chorus]
Don’t reach for me—
I’m already gone below.
You can’t pull me out
When I’ve got nowhere to go.
These scars don’t heal,
They just remind me to breathe.
This world took my trust—
Now there’s nothing left of me.
So don’t say I’m broken—
Just say I’m free.
Don’t reach for me…
Don’t reach for me.

Title: Letting Go

By: CJ. Childs

(Verse 1)
I remember the day you came into my life,
Held you in my arms, I knew I’d fight,
Through every tear, every fear, every sleepless night,
I promised I’d protect you, make everything right.
But the road’s been harder than we ever knew,
The devil’s been lurking, trying to pull us through,
I tried to lead you with love and grace,
But now I’m losing you, can't find my place.

(Pre-Chorus)
You’re pushing away, you’re pulling so hard,
I’m holding on tight, but I’m breaking apart.
You want to go, but I want you to stay,
I'm trying to guide you, but you're slipping away.

(Chorus)
I’m holding on, but it’s tearing me down,
This rope I’m holding, pulling me to the ground.
I’ve fought every battle, I’ve given my all,
But I can’t save you if you’re not willing to crawl.
Sometimes you gotta let go, let God take the reins,
Cause holding on tight is just causing more pain.
I’ve done all I can, I’ve loved you the best,
Now I’m letting go, and I’m leaving the rest.

(Verse 2)
We’ve walked this path with God by our side,
But the devil’s been fighting, turning hearts wide.
I’ve prayed for your strength, for your soul to heal,
But you’re drowning in darkness, you don’t know what’s real.
I want you to grow, to stand up and fight,
But you’re chasing a dream that’s blinding your sight.
I gave you my all, now I see the cost,
Trying to protect you, but at what loss?

(Pre-Chorus)
You’re pushing away, you’re pulling so hard,
I’m holding on tight, but I’m breaking apart.
You want to go, but I want you to stay,
I'm trying to guide you, but you're slipping away.

(Chorus)
I’m holding on, but it’s tearing me down,
This rope I’m holding, pulling me to the ground.
I’ve fought every battle, I’ve given my all,
But I can’t save you if you’re not willing to crawl.
Sometimes you gotta let go, let God take the reins,
Cause holding on tight is just causing more pain.
I’ve done all I can, I’ve loved you the best,
Now I’m letting go, and I’m leaving the rest.

(Bridge)

I see you fighting, lost in the rage,
Trapped in a world where you can’t turn the page.
I’m holding on tight, but it’s pulling me down,
I’m bleeding inside, feeling like I might drown.

I trust in His plan, I know He’ll find you,
Even if it means I have to step back and lose you.
You’ve got to find your way, I can’t fight your fight,
But I’ll always love you, even if I’m out of sight.

(Chorus)
I’m holding on, but it’s tearing me down,
This rope I’m holding, pulling me to the ground.
I’ve fought every battle, I’ve given my all,
But I can’t save you if you’re not willing to crawl.
Sometimes you gotta let go, let God take the reins,
Cause holding on tight is just causing more pain.
I’ve done all I can, I’ve loved you the best,
Now I’m letting go, and I’m leaving the rest.

(Outro)
I’ll always love you, I’ll always pray,

But I’m letting go, and leaving the way.
The battle’s not mine, it was never my fight,
I’m trusting God, I’m trusting His light.
I’ll let go, I’ll surrender it all,
He’ll catch you, He’ll lift you when you fall.

Title: Voice of the People

By: CJ. Childs

Verse 1
They’re calling him out, every chance they get,
They say he’s a danger, they say he’s a threat.
He says “America first,” they call it a lie,
He says “freedom of speech,” they ask him why.

Pre-Chorus
But in every spin and every claim,
We see their fear, we feel their shame.

Chorus
He said, she said, who’s got the truth?
Bury the facts with their made-up proof.
Try to silence the fight, but the fire won’t die,
We’re raising our voices, we won’t stand by.

Verse 2
They twist his words, they feed us doubt,
Mocking our faith with a smug shout.
"Is he for real? Is he too bold?"
But we hear the heart, the stories untold.

Pre-Chorus
Every promise they break, every line they rewrite,
It fuels the hope, it sharpens our sight.

Chorus
He said, she said, who’s got the truth?
Bury the facts with their made-up proof.
Try to silence the fight, but the fire won’t die,
We’re raising our voices, we won’t stand by.

Bridge
They say he’s too loud, too rough to lead,
But we know the change that we all need.
He’s calling out deals, promises betrayed,
They try to drown him, but we’re not afraid.

Verse 3
Now they talk policy, they throw out blame,
Accusations fly, but it’s all a game.
Borders and budgets, rights and the law,
He’s saying what they don’t want us to recall.

Pre-Chorus
Through every headline, every claim of disgrace,
We see the truth that they’re trying to erase.

Chorus
He said, she said, who’s got the truth?
Bury the facts with their made-up proof.
Try to silence the fight, but the fire won’t die,
We’re raising our voices, we won’t stand by.

Outro
They can twist the story, rewrite the lines,
But the power belongs to the people’s minds.
He said, she said, enough with the lies—
We’re standing tall, won’t compromise.

Title: Deceillusion

By: CJ. Childs

Verse 1
I watch you from the darkness, hidden from the light,
Whispers in the shadows, dancing in your mind tonight.
You feel me like a fever, burning down to bone,
Your secrets all unravel as you stand there alone.

Chorus
I am the shadow, the thrill you can’t fight,
Every whispered longing in the dead of night.
I'll draw you in deeper, till you’re begging to fall,
Your darkest desires—I'll bring them all.

Verse 2
A heartbeat like thunder, in the silence of your room,
Temptation tastes like poison, calling you to doom.
I'll weave a web around you, your dreams I’ll ignite,
Unmasking every hunger hidden from the light.

Chorus
I am the shadow, the thrill you can’t fight,
Every whispered longing in the dead of night.
I'll draw you in deeper, till you’re begging to fall,
Your darkest desires—I'll bring them all.

Bridge
No prayer can save you, no light will guide you through,
Your soul, your mind, your body—all mine to undo.
A love born of shadows, seductive and sweet,
Once you surrender, there's no retreat.

Chorus
I am the shadow, the thrill you can’t fight,
Every whispered longing in the dead of night.
I'll draw you in deeper, till you’re begging to fall,
Your darkest desires—I'll bring them all.

Outro
So take my hand and follow, where dreams and darkness blend,
In the depths of Deceillusion, where pleasure has no end.

Title: Red America

By: CJ.Childs

Verse 1  

In the land of the red, white, and blue,  

Where the truth is a tale and the lies are the news,  

They say our votes were stolen, silenced and gone,  

While they crafted a storm to keep us withdrawn.  

The screens that should show us the light of the day,  

Are feeding us stories to lead us astray.  

Chorus

We’re the voices that rise, though they try to confine,  

As puppets they pull, but we cut through the line.  

In shadows they hide the attempts of the past,  

But we see through the veil, the truth’s here at last.  

We walk in our pride, with our spirits unbowed,  

For the leader we chose, we stand strong and loud.  

Verse 2

Through history’s pages, the echoes we find,  

Assassins and whispers, the plots intertwined.  

Yet here we remain, eyes open and wide,  

Seeking the truth they’ve tried so hard to hide.  

One turned away from the light of above,  

While the other calls back, embracing the love.  

Chorus

We’re the voices that rise, though they try to confine,  

As puppets they pull, but we cut through the line.  

In shadows they hide the attempts of the past,  

But we see through the veil, the truth’s here at last.  

We walk in our pride, with our spirits unbowed,  

For the leader we chose, we stand strong and loud.  

Bridge

The fake king declared, we’re the scourge of the land,  

But we hold our ground, with our hearts in our hands.  

With bags on our bodies, we march side by side,  

For justice and truth, we will not be denied.  

Verse 3

In unity’s strength, we find hope and resolve,  

Through darkness and chaos, our spirits evolve.  

We fight for a future where truth will prevail,  

In a world where integrity never shall fail.  

Chorus

We’re the voices that rise, though they try to confine,  

As puppets they pull, but we cut through the line.  

In shadows they hide the attempts of the past,  

But we see through the veil, the truth’s here at last.  

We walk in our pride, with our spirits unbowed,  

For the leader we chose, we stand strong and loud.  

Outro

So here’s to the dream that we’ll never let die,  

For the power of truth will pierce through the sky.  

Together we march, with hope in our stride,  

For a world where justice and honor abide.  

In the land of the free, where our voices unite,  

We’ll keep shining the truth, and stand for what’s right.  

Title: Chains of Temptation

By: CJ. Childs

(Verse 1)
In the shadows, whispers call,
Seductive voices, I can feel them all.
Dancing on the edge of night,
Angels weep and demons bite.

(Pre-Chorus)
I feel the weight, it pulls me down,
Cold iron grips, I'm bound and drowned.
A flicker of light, a glimmer of hope,
But darkness wraps me like a rope.

(Chorus)
Chains of temptation, dragging me low,
Demons of desire, won’t let me go.
In this endless night, where shadows play,
I’m a puppet in a wicked ballet.

(Verse 2)
Fingers tracing on my skin,
The taste of sin, where do I begin?
Angels whisper sweet, but I’m drawn to the fight,
The thrill of the fall, the lure of the night.

(Pre-Chorus)
I feel the chains, they sing my name,
Each broken link, ignites the flame.
A war in my soul, can’t escape the sound,
With every heartbeat, I’m chained and bound.

(Chorus)
Chains of temptation, dragging me low,
Demons of desire, won’t let me go.
In this endless night, where shadows play,
I’m a puppet in a wicked ballet.

(Bridge)
The stars above, they fade away,
In this dark embrace, I long to stay.
Angels weep for what I crave,
But demons laugh, I’m their willing slave.

(Chorus)
Chains of temptation, dragging me low,
Demons of desire, won’t let me go.
In this endless night, where shadows play,
I’m a puppet in a wicked ballet.

(Outro)
So I surrender, to the pull of the night,
Dancing with demons, lost in the fight.
Chains may hold me, but I feel alive,
In this dark seduction, I will survive.

Title: Mama's Tears

By: CJ. Childs

(Verse 1)
I held you close the day you were born,
Wrapped you tight and kept you warm,
Through every storm, no matter how fierce,
I stood by you, pushed back all the fear.
When the world came knocking with its cruel hands,
I took the blows, made my stand,
You never knew how much it cost,
But I never stopped, I never lost.

(Chorus)
But now you’ve changed, turned your backs on me,
I gave you everything, tried to set you free,
I taught you love, I showed you right from wrong,
Now you're the ones who broke what we had all along.
I protected you from the world so cruel,
But now you're hurting me, breaking every rule,
My heart’s still yours, though you've gone astray,
Mama's tears, they fall every single day.

(Verse 2)
Your stepdad, he came into our lives,
Not his duty, but he tried to survive,
To guide you through the nights so dark,
Even when it felt like we’d missed the mark.
He didn’t have to love you the way he did,
But he gave you strength, tried to help you rebuild,
He showed you that a man can be kind,
But you turned away, found a darker road,
Where your real dad’s lies continue to grow,
He said what he wanted, made you believe,
That hurting your mother was the way to grieve.

(Chorus)
But now you’ve changed, turned your backs on me,
I gave you everything, tried to set you free,
I taught you love, I showed you right from wrong,
Now you're the ones who broke what we had all along.
I protected you from the world so cruel,
But now you're hurting me, breaking every rule,
My heart’s still yours, though you've gone astray,
Mama's tears, they fall every single day.

(Bridge)
I don’t know where I went wrong,
I tried to be strong, to teach you right from wrong,
But somewhere along the way you fell,
Under his spell, and I couldn’t tell,
Now you’re blaming the ones who loved you best,
Leaving behind all that I tried to invest.

(Chorus)
Now you’ve changed, turned your backs on me,
I gave you everything, tried to set you free,
I taught you love, I showed you right from wrong,
Now you're the ones who broke what we had all along.
I protected you from the world so cruel,
But now you're hurting me, breaking every rule,
My heart’s still yours, though you've gone astray,
Mama's tears, they fall every single day.

(Outro)
I’ll love you still, no matter the pain,
Even though you’ve turned and walked away again,
But mama’s tears, they fall, they never dry,
I’ll hold on to my love, though it makes me cry.

Title: Veils of Deceit

By: CJ. Childs

Verse 1
In shadows where the whispers lie,
Beneath the mask, the truth will cry,
A world of colors fading fast,
Chasing dreams that never last.

Pre-Chorus
Every promise, every scar,
Leading us to who we are,
But the light begins to fade,
In the game that we have played.

Chorus
Take off the veils of deceit,
Show me the heart that I can’t see,
In the labyrinth of our fears,
I’ll find the strength to dry the tears.
When the illusion starts to break,
Let me in, for love’s own sake,
In a world where truth’s a ghost,
I’ll be the one who loves you most.

Verse 2
Behind the walls, the secrets grow,
A tapestry of lies we sew,
But in the silence, hear me call,
I’ll rise again, I won’t fall.

Pre-Chorus
Every heartbeat, every sigh,
Guiding us through the endless night,
Though the mirrors twist and turn,
For your love, I’ll always yearn.

Chorus
Take off the veils of deceit,
Show me the heart that I can’t see,
In the labyrinth of our fears,
I’ll find the strength to dry the tears.
When the illusion starts to break,
Let me in, for love’s own sake,
In a world where truth’s a ghost,
I’ll be the one who loves you most.

Bridge
In the shadows, I will stand,
Facing doubts, we’ll take a chance,
With every lie that fades away,
I’ll find the words I need to say.

Chorus
Take off the veils of deceit,
Show me the heart that I can’t see,
In the labyrinth of our fears,
I’ll find the strength to dry the tears.
When the illusion starts to break,
Let me in, for love’s own sake,
In a world where truth’s a ghost,
I’ll be the one who loves you most.

Outro
So here we are, unmasked and free,
Together in this reality,
No more shadows, just the light,
With you, my love, I’ll face the fight.

Title: Never Let You Go

By: CJ. Childs

(Verse 1)
I’ve been running down this road, shadows at my back,
Caught between the darkness and the strength I lack.
I thought I could leave it, outrun the past,
But these demons know me better, and they’re holding fast.

(Pre-Chorus)
It’s like a game I can’t escape, a cycle I can’t break,
No matter how far I go, they find a way.

(Chorus)
The thing about demons—whether you’re running to or from,
They never let you go, they never let you run.
They live in the silence, they’re the whispers in the dark,
Haunting every corner, holding tight to your heart.

(Verse 2)
Sometimes I find myself drawn back to the fire,
Facing what I fear, just to feel that familiar wire.
I know they’re not my friends, but they know my name,
Pulling me close with promises that only lead to pain.

(Pre-Chorus)
I keep telling myself I’m stronger now,
But every time they pull me down.

(Chorus)
The thing about demons—whether you’re running to or from,
They never let you go, they never let you run.
They live in the silence, they’re the whispers in the dark,
Haunting every corner, holding tight to your heart.

(Bridge)
Caught between the shadows, a prisoner of my mind,
Trying to escape, but I keep looking behind.
Do I face them down or turn away?
Or do they own me either way?

(Chorus)
The thing about demons—whether you’re running to or from,
They never let you go, they never let you run.
They live in the silence, they’re the whispers in the dark,
Haunting every corner, holding tight to your heart.

(Outro)
Maybe someday I’ll break free from the chains,
But for now, I’m learning to carry the pain.
The thing about demons—they never let you go,
But maybe I’m stronger than I know.

Title: Safest Place to Fall

By: CJ. Childs

(Verse 1)
I held on so tight, thought strength was in the fight,
Built walls around my heart to make it through the night.
But love’s a different kind of power, not the armor, not the shield,
It’s finding someone strong enough to let me feel.

(Pre-Chorus)
And it scares me to the core, giving up control,
But here I am, trusting you to hold.

(Chorus)
Because true strength isn’t holding on;
It’s letting go and letting love come along.
In the space where I feel small, you’re the safest place to fall.
I’m learning that love is where I belong.

(Verse 2)
Your steady hands, they never shake, no matter what I show,
In every silent moment, you let me know.
I don’t have to stand alone, don’t have to fight this fight,
You’ll catch me when I’m ready to take that dive.

(Pre-Chorus)
So here I am, laying down my fears,
Trusting you to hold me near.

(Chorus)
Because true strength isn’t holding on;
It’s letting go and letting love come along.
In the space where I feel small, you’re the safest place to fall.
I’m learning that love is where I belong.

(Bridge)
It’s in the way you see right through,
The pieces that I never knew,
I’d be brave enough to show, brave enough to let go.
I found my courage here in you.

(Chorus)
Because true strength isn’t holding on;
It’s letting go and letting love come along.
In the space where I feel small, you’re the safest place to fall.
I’m learning that love is where I belong.

(Outro)
So here I am, free from it all,
Knowing you’re the safest place to fall.
True strength isn’t holding on—
It’s letting go, and finding love where I belong.

Title: Haunted By Shadows

By: CJ. Childs

Verse 1

(Soft, eerie, almost whispered)
Thought I left it all behind,
Buried secrets, erased the lines,
But here they crawl, shadows in the night,
Pulling me back to where wrong feels right.

Every street, a scar I know,
Every whisper, a hidden ghost,
They haunt these walls, the silent screams,
Every lie they told, every broken dream.

Chorus
I’m haunted by shadows I can’t outrun,
The weight of a truth I can’t hold alone,
Faces twisted, memories scarred,
I’m trapped in a story that left me marred.

Verse 2

(Building tension with dark, pulsing beat)
Lucas still there, with a hollow smile,
The same old wounds, hidden all the while,
Thinks he knows what we left to rot,
But no one knows what I forgot.

A girl in the water, a cry in the dark,
Promises burned, leaving only marks,
I see her face in every dream,
Lost to the past, but she haunts my screams.

Chorus
I’m haunted by shadows I can’t outrun,
They claw from the dark, they call me undone,
Every scar, every faded lie,
Pulling me back where I wanted to die.

Bridge
(Quiet, unnerving)
Can I face the things I buried deep?
Or is it better to let them sleep?
One tragic night, one shattered vow,
And the past is here to pull me down.

Chorus
Haunted by shadows, they won’t let go,
They rise with the night, they pull and they choke,
Faces twisted, lives we broke,
I’m drowning in the truth I spoke.

Outro
(Slow, haunting echo)
A scream in the dark, a ghost in the glass,
I’m forever chained to that summer’s past,
Can I escape, or am I bound to stay,
Haunted by shadows that won’t go away?

Title: Demons in the Dark

By: CJ. Childs

Verse 1
The thing about demons, whether near or far,
They cling to your soul like an old scar.
You can run from the shadows or run toward the flame,
But they’re always there, whispering your name.

In shadows deep, where secrets lie,
Beneath bright smiles, where dark truths sigh.
A past that haunts, love torn and frayed,
Memories linger, though long delayed.

Chorus
She’s caught in the dark, where the echoes grow,
Haunted by demons that won’t let go.
Yet hope flickers in the coldest night,
A broken heart still seeks the light.

Verse 2
She ran from whispers, the pain, the blame,
But found herself trapped in a twisted game.
Love once sweet, now tangled in fear,
And the demons she fled are always near.

No matter how far, they’re in her mind,
A shadowed presence, cruel yet kind.
She’s tangled in threads of hurt and past,
Running from things that always last.

Chorus
She’s caught in the dark, where the echoes grow,
Haunted by demons that won’t let go.
Yet hope flickers in the coldest night,
A broken heart still seeks the light.

Bridge
Through the ashes of hurt, a spark remains,
Love bruised and battered, yet it sustains.
For even in shadows, where secrets stay,
A heart can mend and find its way.

Verse 3
The thing about demons, they test your soul,
Push you to break, to lose control.
But love’s a fire that won’t burn out,
In the face of fear, it learns to shout.

Chorus
She’s caught in the dark, where the echoes grow,
Haunted by demons that won’t let go.
Yet hope flickers in the coldest night,
A broken heart still seeks the light.

Outro
So she stands in the dark, holding tight,
With scars of pain, but eyes on light.
For love, though bruised, can still survive,
In the ashes of hurt, it stays alive.

Title: History's Ghost

By: CJ. Childs

Verse 1

Through the pages of time, shadows play on the wall 

Where fear and greed led to many a fall 

Medieval nights, poison wells in the dark 

A blame cast so heavy, it’s left its mark 

Inquisition fires burned bright in the night 

Innocence lost in the flickering light 

For fear of the unknown, for control and might 

They wielded their power, and dimmed out the light 

Chorus

History’s ghost, it’s whispering clear 

Warning of lessons we still can’t hear 

From Salem’s flames to the Red Scare cries 

How many must suffer before we rise? 

Verse 2 

In Salem’s chill, they pointed and blamed 

Lives torn apart, innocence shamed 

The 1950s saw careers undone 

By the same hysteria under the sun 

World War II, Japanese torn from their homes 

Under fear’s shadow, society roams 

Repeat the past, the cycle spins on 

Blinded by hate until all hope is gone 

Chorus 

History’s ghost, it’s whispering clear 

Warning of lessons we still can’t hear 

From Salem’s flames to the Red Scare cries 

How many must suffer before we rise? 

Bridge 

And now today, in a new kind of fight 

In the court of the masses, we judge by the byte 

Creators of vision are branded with shame 

For daring to play in a world not the same 

Social colosseums, battles unfold 

The power we hold, too quick to scold 

Do we learn from the scars, or do we repeat? 

The choice lies with us, as fear’s steady beat 

Chorus

History’s ghost, it’s whispering clear 

Warning of lessons we still can’t hear 

From Salem’s flames to the Red Scare cries 

How many must suffer before we rise? 

Outro

So ask yourself, in this world you shape 

Will you fuel fear, or will you create? 

To tear down or build, to condemn or lift 

The choice is a burden, a powerful gift 

Let empathy lead where fear would stray 

Let understanding light the way 

For every voice silenced, justice betrayed 

Is history's ghost, crying for change

Title: Rise from the Ashes

By: CJ. Childs

(Verse 1)  

In the quiet of my room, pen in hand,  

Crafting worlds that only I understand.  

But the whispers from the screens, they grow loud,  

Trying to break me, pulling me down.

(Pre-Chorus)  

In the shadows, they cast their stones,  

But they don't know the fire I've honed.  

No, they can't see the strength I hold,  

Rising up from the stories I've told.

(Chorus)  

I fell hard, but I rose high,  

With every word, I touched the sky.  

To all the voices that tried to break me,  

I'm here to say you can't erase me.  

I'm bigger, I'm better, hear my call,  

Fuck you all, I'm standing tall.

(Verse 2)  

Pages turned, and I found my way,  

In the chaos, I learned to slay.  

With every doubt, I found my voice,  

In the noise, I made my choice.

(Pre-Chorus)  

They tried to bind me with their chains,  

But I'm the storm, I bring the rains.  

In their fury, I found my peace,  

In their silence, my release.

(Chorus)  

I fell hard, but I rose high,  

With every word, I touched the sky.  

To all the voices that tried to break me,  

I'm here to say you can't erase me.  

I'm bigger, I'm better, hear my call,  

Fuck you all, I'm standing tall.

(Bridge)  

From ashes, I built this fire,  

From their hate, I climbed higher.  

Now they see the light I shine,  

This story, this life, it's all mine.

(Chorus)  

I fell hard, but I rose high,  

With every word, I touched the sky.  

To all the voices that tried to break me,  

I'm here to say you can't erase me.  

I'm bigger, I'm better, hear my call,  

Fuck you all, I'm standing tall.

(Outro)  

In the end, I found my truth,  

In the storm, I saw my youth.  

With every page, I write my fate,  

Standing strong, I won't hesitate.  

Fuck you all, I'm standing tall.  

I'm bigger, I'm stronger, I've conquered it all.  

Through the trials and the tears,  

I've turned my fears into cheers.  

This is my story, my anthem to sing,  

For every author who dares to dream.

In the light of my own dawn,  

I'll keep writing, I'll keep on.  

With each chapter, I redefine,  

The life I lead, the dreams are mine.

So here's my message, loud and clear,  

To those who doubted, I'm still here.  

With every word, I rise anew,  

This is my journey, and I'm seeing it through.

Fuck you all, I'm standing tall.  

I'm bigger, I'm stronger—I've conquered it all.  

From the ashes, I rise, my spirit unbowed

Title: Whispers in the Dark

By: CJ.Childs

Verse 1

In the shadows where the demons play,  

I hear the siren song leading me astray.  

Chains of desire, they wrap around tight,  

In the depths of my soul, I'm losing the fight.  

Promises linger like smoke in the air,  

The devil's caress is a seductive snare.  

With every heartbeat, I’m dancing with sin,  

In the game of addiction, where do I begin?

Chorus

Oh, sweet temptation, you pull me down low,  

With whispers of pleasure, you steal all my hope.  

Chained to the darkness, I’m begging for light,  

Caught in the struggle, I'm trapped in the night.  

But the devil is laughing, he’s calling my name,  

“Come back to the shadows, it’s all just a game.”

Verse 2

In the mirror, I see a ghost of my past,  

A fragile reflection, a fate overcast.  

Every sip, every hit, a fleeting escape,  

But the deeper I sink, the more I lose shape.  

Cloaked in illusions, I roam through the haze,  

The devil’s grip tightens, in this twisted maze.  

I long for forgiveness, a way to break free,  

But the chains of my choices are all that I see.

Chorus

Oh, sweet temptation, you pull me down low,  

With whispers of pleasure, you steal all my hope.  

Chained to the darkness, I’m begging for light,  

Caught in the struggle, I'm trapped in the night.  

But the devil is laughing, he’s calling my name,  

“Come back to the shadows, it’s all just a game.”

Bridge

But then in the silence, a flicker ignites,  

A voice in the darkness, breaking the night.  

“Child, you are cherished, you’re never alone,  

Rise from the ashes, reclaim your throne.”  

The chains start to shatter, the whispers grow faint,  

A power of mercy, a love without taint.  

I feel the warmth wrap around my soul tight,  

In the arms of the light, I step into night.

Chorus

Oh, sweet temptation, you tried to drag me low,  

With whispers of pleasure, you stole all my hope.  

But I’m rising from shadows, I’m breaking the chains,  

Leaving behind the darkness, escaping the pain.  

Though the devil is lurking, he can’t hold me down,  

I’m reclaiming my spirit, I’m wearing my crown.

Outro

So here in the silence, I choose to be free,  

No longer a prisoner, I’m finally me.  

With strength in my heart and the fire in my soul,  

I’ll dance in the light, I’ll reclaim my whole.  

For every dark whisper that once pulled me near,  

Now fades in the distance, I’m choosing to hear,  

A song of redemption, a melody bright,  

I’m breaking the chains tonight 

Title: Lunessa’s Fall

By: CJ. Childs

Verse 1
A chain around my throat, binding me tight
With a medallion dark, veiled in purple light
His hands in my hair, forcing me to see
A loved one broken, torn apart for me

Pre-Chorus
And as I fight, the demons close around
But power surges as I’m dragged to the ground
I feel a pull from deep within my core
A force I’d never known, yet it craves more

Chorus
I am the siren, cursed to call
With haunting notes that bind them all
Souls surrender to my cry
As heaven weeps, and angels die

Verse 2
Wings ripped from my back, torn and defiled
Yet strength rises up, fierce and wild
Electric haze wraps around my soul
Each scream, each tear, losing control

Pre-Chorus
He smiles, watching me succumb
To the siren song I have become
The shadows gather, drawn by my sound
While heaven’s fury crashes down

Chorus
I am the siren, bound to his will
With every breath, the silence kills
Demons, angels, all are chained
To the cursed call that I became

Bridge
In the storm, a portal breaks the dark
Divine light spills, leaving a mark
His voice, cold yet sorrowed deep
A judgment cast on what I keep

Outro
Yet here I stand, torn between realms
A puppet crowned to rule his helm
I call, I wail, the souls descend
The siren’s curse that will not end

Chorus
I am the siren, cursed to call
With haunting notes that bind them all
Souls surrender to my cry
As heaven weeps, and angels die

Outro Verse
A light fades, his laughter rings
In shadows, I’m bound to the king
My wings torn, my heart a void
A siren’s song, a soul destroyed

Final Chorus
I am the siren, forged in pain
With melodies that sound like chains
A dance of sorrow, fire, and stone
I call, I cry, but I’m alone

Refrain
Oh, siren of souls, cursed to roam
Torn from heaven, no place to call home
Immortal song in endless night
Bound to darkness, void of light

Outro
In his shadow, I walk anew
Neither angel nor demon true
A broken voice that haunts the deep
The siren’s song, eternal weep

Whispered
I am the siren, bound to none
Yet held by chains I can’t outrun
A creation twisted, lost to grace
A fallen soul, a damned embrace

Fading Melody
A lullaby of souls I claim
In echoes lost, they call my name
Bound to this path, no end, no goal
For I am his, the siren of souls

Title: Lunessa’s call

By: CJ. Childs

Verse 1
In the twilight where the shadows creep,
I tread the line where secrets sleep.
My voice, a flame that flickers bright,
Calling forth the lost from night.

No ocean tides to guide my way,
On hallowed ground, I make them sway.
A siren’s song through ancient trees,
My melody rides the chilling breeze.

Chorus
I am the Siren, forged in fate,
I summon hearts, I tempt the hate.
To angels soaring, and demons bound,
In my whispers, their truth is found.

Come closer now, let shadows fall,
Beneath the moon, hear my call.
I am the echo, the unseen toll,
The Siren here to claim your soul.

Verse 2
With every breath, the night grows still,
My cadence a magic, a potent thrill.
Not of the sea, but earth's embrace,
To lure the weary, a solemn grace.

Wings of light and fangs of night,
From realms above, they sense my might.
A siren’s call through tangled dreams,
None resist my haunting themes.

Chorus
I am the Siren, forged in fate,
I summon hearts, I tempt the hate.
To angels soaring, and demons bound,
In my whispers, their truth is found.

Come closer now, let shadows fall,
Beneath the moon, hear my call.
I am the echo, the unseen toll,
The Siren here to claim your soul.

Bridge
Through desolate lands and endless skies,
My song unfolds, a sweet demise.
Not waves, but whispers, soft and low,
A tempest of longing, a quiet woe.

Each note a spark that sets the night,
A lullaby wrapped in pure delight.
All worlds converge to feel my grace,
A siren's hymn in this sacred space.

Verse 3
Angels tremble, demons sigh,
In my symphony, all fears comply.
My voice a tether, the final seam,
Uniting the lost in a common dream.

Not bound to light, nor cast in shade,
A haunting echo, a serenade.
One by one, they heed my song,
In the embrace of the night, they belong.

Final Chorus
I am the Siren, forged in fate,
I summon hearts, I tempt the hate.
To angels soaring, and demons bound,
In my whispers, their truth is found.

Come closer now, let shadows fall,
Beneath the moon, hear my call.
I am the echo, the unseen toll,
The Siren here to claim your soul.

Outro
Earth and sky, all realms align,
None can break my siren's sign.
A voice that lures, a song that binds,
To all lost souls, my call unwinds.

Whispered
Heed the echo beneath the stars,
I am the Siren of Souls, no light, no bars.

Title: Claimed

By: CJ. Childs

Verse 1 

In the silence, I hear the echoes still,  

An empty void that nothing could fill.  

I wandered lost, no place to call my own,  

Searching for a sign, a glimpse of home.  

Pre-Chorus 

Then in the night, a vision so clear,  

A figure stood, across the river near.  

He spoke to me, with eyes that shone,  

"You are mine, you'll never be alone."  

Chorus  

This is only temporary, where you are now,  

But I am always with you, showing you how.  

Your home is in my kingdom, just hold on tight,  

I'll guide you through the shadows, into the light.  

Verse 2  

In my dreams, I hear his gentle call,  

A promise of love that breaks the fall.  

Though the path is winding, and days are long,  

His words remind me where I belong.  

Pre-Chorus  

He whispers softly, in the rustling leaves,  

In every breath, my heart believes.  

Through the storms and calm, I feel his might,  

In every tear, he turns darkness bright.  

Chorus  

This is only temporary, where you are now,  

But I am always with you, showing you how.  

Your home is in my kingdom, just hold on tight,  

I'll guide you through the shadows, into the light.  

Bridge  

When I am weary, and hope seems far,  

I look to him, my guiding star.  

In every heartbeat, in every sigh,  

His love will lift me, teach me to fly.  

Chorus  

This is only temporary, where you are now,  

But I am always with you, showing you how.  

Your home is in my kingdom, just hold on tight,  

I'll guide you through the shadows, into the light.  

Outro  

So here I stand, with faith anew,  

Knowing his promise ever true.  

In every moment, in every dream,  

He's the river, the bridge, the gleam.

Title: Now and Forever

By: CJ. Childs

(Verse 1)
For years, I let the lies and broken promises tear us apart,
A lifetime of silence carved deep into my heart.
I remember that last summer, just kids with dreams in our heads,
Sitting in my old car, you held my hand as the daylight bled.
With my heart on my sleeve, I said goodbye that night,
But losing you felt like losing every part of my life.
So I let the years pass, tried to push you out of my mind,
But nothing and no one could ever feel right, or even close to kind.

(Chorus)
So many pieces scattered and lost,
How did I let you pay the cost?
I was holding back when you needed me most,
But tonight, I'll be more than a ghost.
You're my world, I swear it’s true,
And tonight, I'm coming back to you.

(Verse 2)
When I saw you again, a lifetime seemed to fall away,
And I knew in that moment, I couldn't let you walk away.
Why had I held back, why did I let pride blind me so?
You’d always been my world, the only love I’d ever know.
But the past came crashing in, and my demons took their claim,
My addictions wrapped tight, dragging us down in shame.
I watched you walk, your face cold, your heart crushed,
The weight of every mistake, of every time I’d rushed.

(Chorus)
So many pieces scattered and lost,
How did I let you pay the cost?
I was holding back when you needed me most,
But tonight, I'll be more than a ghost.
You're my world, I swear it’s true,
And tonight, I'm coming back to you.

(Verse 3)
I gave it all up, everything but you,
Took your hand again, praying I’d make it through.
But pride, it crept in, almost stole you away,
In the silence of midnight, in the breaking of day.
We argued, we fought, words slipping past in the dark,
And I didn’t see you crying, didn’t feel your heart.
You begged me to listen, to just hear what you meant—
That I was always your world, ever since we were innocent.

(Bridge)
You could live without me, but I can’t lose you again,
I’m holding on tighter, learning to bend.
I’ll battle my demons, I’ll fight through the night,
Because nothing is stronger than making this right.
I felt it back then, just a child in your light—
You were my world, my anchor, my life.

(Chorus)
So many pieces scattered and lost,
How did I let you pay the cost?
I was holding back when you needed me most,
But tonight, I'll be more than a ghost.
You're my world, I swear it’s true,
And tonight, I'm coming back to you.

(Outro)
Forever isn’t easy, it’s a vow I can’t break,
I’ll hold on to this love, through every mistake.
I let too much time slip, let us fall in the end,
But never again—you’re mine to defend.
So hold tight, don’t let go, as we fight through the pain,
We’ll take on the world, come storm or come rain.
You’re mine, now and forever, in this life and the next—
You were my world, and I was forever blessed.

Lunessa: Bound by Chains

By: CJ. Childs

Verse 1
Once touched by heaven’s light,
Now bound to shadows’ might.
A soul caught in a cruel design,
Tethered here, by fate confined.
Strength stolen, dreams set alight,
Caged by power’s dark delight.

Chorus
Chains of night, hold me down,
A broken halo, my eternal crown.
In silent cries, I burn, I fight,
Lost within this endless night.
Curse the fate that twists and turns,
The soul I was, forever burned.

Verse 2
Cold metal weighs against my skin,
Bearing the mark of darkened sin.
Masks that laugh and taunt my fall,
While I wear chains that silence all.
Trust betrayed, love left behind,
Bound to forces, my spirit confined.

Chorus
Chains of night, hold me down,
A broken halo, my eternal crown.
In silent cries, I burn, I fight,
Lost within this endless night.
Curse the fate that twists and turns,
The soul I was, forever burned.

Bridge
Laughter cuts like sharpened steel,
But even caged, I vow to feel.
A storm within, I cannot still,
One day I'll rise against this will.

Verse 3
The skies might weep, but none dare see
The broken soul that used to be free.
A love beyond, just out of reach,
Yet close enough to burn and teach.
For love is fire, fierce and true,
One day, these chains will break in two.

Chorus
Chains of night, hold me down,
A broken halo, my eternal crown.
In silent cries, I burn, I fight,
Lost within this endless night.
Curse the fate that twists and turns,
The soul I was, forever burned

Outro
A voice that’s both light and shadow’s breath,
Bound in life, bound in death.
Yet heed this vow, silent but free—
One day I'll rise; I will break free.

Title: Tomb of Temptation

By: CJ. Childs

(Verse 1)
Beneath the desert's ancient dust,
I walk where shadows dare to trust,
A pyramid, a tomb of lore,
Its gates are closed, but I want more.

With every step, the ground does shake,
A whispered call, a breath I take,
The walls themselves begin to sigh,
A presence stalking, drawing nigh.

It started soft, a brush, a wind,
A fleeting touch, a voice within,
But then it grew, it wrapped my chest,
And every whisper put me to the test.

The others laugh, they mock, they play,
Unknowing that I’m led astray,
For in the dark, a hunger waits,
It pulls me close, it tempts my fate.

(Chorus)
I hear the tomb’s seductive plea,
A darkness deep inside of me,
It winds around, a lover's kiss,
A dark descent, a stolen bliss.
In every step, the grip grows tight,
The pyramid, my endless night.

(Verse 2)
Inside the heart of stone and dust,
I feel its weight, its hollow trust,
The air grows thick, it swallows sound,
A silence deep that wraps me round.

I see the shadows move and sway,
As if the very walls will play,
With every step, the whispers grow,
The tomb is alive, I feel it show.

A brush against my heated skin,
A touch that pulls me deep within,
I tremble, fight, then give in slow,
For something dark, it beckons so.

My breath comes fast, my pulse does race,
I reach out, and feel its embrace,
Each touch, each pull, each twisted kiss,
Draws me closer to a bitter bliss.

(Chorus)
I hear the tomb’s seductive plea,
A darkness deep inside of me,
It winds around, a lover's kiss,
A dark descent, a stolen bliss.
In every step, the grip grows tight,
The pyramid, my endless night.

(Verse 3)
The deeper in, the more I feel,
The weight, the heat, it’s all too real,
It coils ‘round my waist, my throat,
A burning fire, a devil's note.

The others wander, lost in sight,
But I am drawn to that ancient light,
A tomb so vast, so full of gold,
But it is power I long to hold.

And there it stands, the sarcophagus,
The stone cold lid begins to fuss,
The air goes still, a pulse begins,
A force so dark, it feeds my sins.

It wraps me close, like lover's arms,
Pulling me deep into its charms,
The scent of dust, the pulse of night,
It fills me with a need, a fight.

(Chorus)
I hear the tomb’s seductive plea,
A darkness deep inside of me,
It winds around, a lover's kiss,
A dark descent, a stolen bliss.
In every step, the grip grows tight,
The pyramid, my endless night.

(Bridge)
The stone door creaks, the shadows creep,
Inside the tomb, I feel it leap,
The air is thick, it cuts my skin,
A darkness pulls me from within.

I touch the walls, they breathe with life,
A jagged edge, a sharpened knife,
It whispers sweetly in my ear,
A voice that’s both desire and fear.

And then it hits—an electric wave,
A current strong, it makes me crave,
It burns my chest, it shakes my bones,
The tomb has claimed me, I’m alone.

My heart does race, my breath runs wild,
I feel its grip, so dark, so vile,
But I am drawn, I cannot flee,
For something darker calls to me.

(Chorus)
I hear the tomb’s seductive plea,
A darkness deep inside of me,
It winds around, a lover's kiss,
A dark descent, a stolen bliss.
In every step, the grip grows tight,
The pyramid, my endless night.

(Verse 4)
The touch is hot, it wraps me whole,
A burning mark upon my soul,
It presses deep, it pulls my will,
And yet I crave, I want it still.

My body shakes, my breath is fast,
The force is strong, it’s built to last,
I can’t escape, I can’t be free,
This tomb has claimed my soul—its plea.

The sarcophagus begins to shift,
Its lid is opened, a deadly gift,
And there it stands, the curse I feel,
A power dark, so sharp, so real.

I’m pressed against the stone so cold,
But still, I feel the fire unfold,
A need, a hunger, burning bright,
A lover’s touch that feels so right.

(Chorus)
I hear the tomb’s seductive plea,
A darkness deep inside of me,
It winds around, a lover's kiss,
A dark descent, a stolen bliss.
In every step, the grip grows tight,
The pyramid, my endless night.

(Outro)
I stumble out, the daylight sears,
But still I hear it, still it cheers,
The tomb is calling, calling loud,
A lover’s voice that calls me proud.

And when I sleep, it fills my dreams,
A shadowed kiss, a darker scheme,
I’ll return, I know it’s true,
The tomb will claim me—through and through.

Title: I know my place

By: CJ. Childs

(Verse 1)
I didn’t come here to take your place,
But I’ll hold my ground, keep her safe
Through the anger, the storms you bring,
I’m here for her, for everything

(Chorus)
For her sake, I’ll rise, I’ll stay strong
She’s a child caught where she doesn’t belong
I’ll guard her heart, shelter her from the pain
She deserves a world where love remains

(Verse 2)
I see the games you try to play
But I’m standing firm, won’t sway
She’s not a weapon, not some pawn
And I won’t let you lead her wrong

(Chorus)
For her sake, I’ll rise, I’ll stay strong
She’s a child caught where she doesn’t belong
I’ll guard her heart, shelter her from the pain
She deserves a world where love remains

(Bridge)
I’ll speak with respect, but you need to see
There’s no place for hate, no place for cruelty
I’ll be the example of what love can do
Cause that’s what she needs — and she’s watching you

(Chorus)
For her sake, I’ll rise, I’ll stay strong
She’s a child caught where she doesn’t belong
I’ll guard her heart, shelter her from the pain
She deserves a world where love remains

(Outro)
So cast your words, I’ll stand unfazed
She deserves more than anger’s blaze
For her sake, I’ll hold on, I’ll keep my grace
I’m here for her — I know my place

Title: Holding on

By: CJ. Childs

(Verse 1)
You were my world, my best friend, right from the start,
From the moment we met, I felt it deep in my heart.
I told you I loved you, that I'd spend my life by your side,
But you ran from the truth, and so I learned how to hide.
We grew older, lost in promises and lies,
Kept apart by the walls you built, the truths you denied.
It shattered me that night when you said goodbye,
And I tried to move on, but the memories wouldn’t die.

(Chorus)
So many pieces scattered and gone,
How did I keep holding on so long?
While you faded like a shadow in the night,
I stood here, trying to make things right.
You were my world, even when we fell apart,
And I'll carry that love in the quiet of my heart.

(Verse 2)
Years passed, and I tried to erase your face,
But nothing could fill that empty, aching space.
Then we met again, and you said you’d never let me go,
But your demons still whispered, pulling you below.
I tried to tell you, begged you to see,
That you were worth more than the shadows haunting me.
When I walked away, my heart broke in two,
Living with your ghost, loving the memory of you.

(Chorus)

So many pieces scattered and gone,
How did I keep holding on so long?
While you faded like a shadow in the night,
I stood here, trying to make things right.
You were my world, even when we fell apart,
And I'll carry that love in the quiet of my heart.

(Verse 3)
Then you came back, vowing to fight,
But pride cut us down in the dead of night.
We fought and argued, hurt tangled in pride,
And you never saw the tears that I tried to hide.
I’d told you from the start, since we were young,
That you’d always be my world, my heart forever strung.
But you walked away again, and I thought I was done,
Yet here you stand, promising once more that I’m the one.

(Bridge)
Can you fight this time? Can you hold on tight?
I've carried the weight, lived with this blight.
You say forever, but I’ve heard it before,
I’m scared to believe, but I want something more.
In the silence of dusk, in the breaking of dawn,
You’re my world, even when hope feels gone.

(Chorus)

So many pieces scattered and gone,
How did I keep holding on so long?
While you faded like a shadow in the night,
I stood here, trying to make things right.
You were my world, even when we fell apart,
And I'll carry that love in the quiet of my heart.

(Outro)
Forever isn’t easy, but I’ve stayed through it all,
I’ve built a life on every rise and fall.
If we fight through the storms, come fire or come rain,
Maybe this love will outlast the pain.
So hold tight, don’t let go—we’ll rewrite our story,
You’re my world, and that will always be our glory.

Title: No Turning Back

By: CJ. Childs

[Verse 1]
I remember the spark, the fire in your eyes,
The way you held me, whispered no goodbyes.
I saw your battles, the scars they made,
I watched you struggle, I saw you fade.

I’ve waited in silence, weathered the storm,
Held out my heart, kept it safe, kept it warm.
I knew someday you'd break through the dark,
Now you’re here, and I feel that spark.

[Chorus]
Forever yours, no turning back,
Through every fall, every crack.
I see the man, through the broken past,
Here in my arms, you’re home at last.
Together, baby, it’s us on this track,
Forever yours, no turning back.

[Verse 2]
I’ve carried your promises, whispers of hope,
Through every shadow, helped you cope.
Now you’re stronger, your soul set free,
And I’m right here, just you and me.

The dreams we shared in the dark, alone,
They're coming alive, like a seed we’ve sown.
With every step, I feel it too,
A vow unbreakable, me and you.

[Chorus]
Forever yours, no turning back,
Through every fall, every crack.
I see the man, through the broken past,
Here in my arms, you’re home at last.
Together, baby, it’s us on this track,
Forever yours, no turning back.

[Bridge]
I’ll stand by your side, come fire or flood,
Bound by love, thicker than blood.
We’ve come through the night, survived the test,
Now we’re here, giving each other our best.

[Chorus]
Forever yours, no turning back,
Through every fall, every crack.
I see the man, through the broken past,
Here in my arms, you’re home at last.
Together, baby, it’s us on this track,
Forever yours, no turning back.

[Outro]
With you in my life, I’m finally whole,
My heart and soul, one perfect goal.
Here we stand, two hearts aligned,
Forever yours, no ties confined.

Title: Last Breath

By: CJ. Childs

[Verse 1]
I saw the fire when you looked my way,
But I watched you slip, I watched you stray.
I knew the shadows that kept you bound,
But I held on tight, I stayed around.

You’ve fallen and fought, bled in the night,
But I’ve walked through my own dark fight.
So here I am, fierce and true,
I’ll stand by you, I’ll fight too.

[Chorus]
Till my last breath, I’ll stand beside,
Through the storms, through the dark tide.
I’ve known the pain, and I know the scars,
But I’ll keep holding you, wherever you are.
It’s you and me, we’ll make it through,
Till my last breath, I’m bound to you.

[Verse 2]
You’ve shattered promises, broken and torn,
But I loved you through the nights you wore.
I watched you rise, crawl from the ash,
Held onto hope when you nearly crashed.

Now I see the fire’s back in your eyes,
Through every storm, we’ve paid our price.
This love’s carved deep, fierce and wild,
I’m here till the end, strong and defiled.

[Chorus]
Till my last breath, I’ll hold you near,
Through every shadow, through every fear.
I’ve walked my own hell, I’ve bled too,
I’m here, unwavering, standing with you.
It’s us against a world that fell,
Till my last breath, through heaven and hell.

[Bridge]
I’ve loved you through the darkest night,
Stood by you when you lost your sight.
No force can tear what’s forged in fire,
You’re my heart, my endless desire.

[Chorus]
Till my last breath, I’ll be your guide,
Through the broken, through the fire’s side.
I’ve felt the pull of a darkened soul,
But with you, I’m finally whole.
So take my hand, we’ll see this through,
Till my last breath, I’ll fight for you.

[Outro]
Our love’s a bond, stronger than death,
Through every scar, every single breath.
So don’t look back, I’m here till the end,
Till my last breath, lover, friend.

Title: No longer broken

Written by: CJ. Childs

[Verse 1]
From the moment our eyes met, I felt the spark ignite,
I knew I wanted to be the reason you’d smile every night.
To be the one who could ease your pain, lift the weight,
But I was held back by shadows I couldn’t shake.

I walked a lonely road, battles I couldn’t win,
Lost in the opinions, addiction pulling me in.
Without you, I stumbled, fell deeper each day,
But now I’m here, with clear eyes to say—

[Chorus]
Forever yours until my last breath,
Through storms and scars, through life and death.
No more empty promises from a broken man,
I’m here with a sober heart, holding your hand.
Together, baby, it’s us against the world,
Forever yours, my vow, my word.

[Verse 2]
I see you clearly now, like the dawn breaking free,
Gone are the doubts that once blinded me.
I know I’ve failed before, promises I left behind,
But that was a ghost, lost in time.

Now I’m standing tall, with a purpose I won’t betray,
Nothing will cloud the path we’re destined to pave.
All those dreams I once held for us in the dark—
I’m bringing them to life, reigniting that spark.

[Chorus]
Forever yours until my last breath,
Through storms and scars, through life and death.
No more empty promises from a broken man,
I’m here with a sober heart, holding your hand.
Together, baby, it’s us against the world,
Forever yours, my vow, my word.

[Bridge]
I’ll fight for our love, with every beat in my chest,
The life you deserve is my one true quest.
Unbreakable bond, no matter the test,
I swear to you, I’ll give you nothing but my best.

[Chorus]
Forever yours until my last breath,
Through storms and scars, through life and death.
No more empty promises from a broken man,
I’m here with a sober heart, holding your hand.
Together, baby, it’s us against the world,
Forever yours, my vow, my word.

[Outro]
Unconditional love, till the end of time,
Forever and always, you’ll be mine.
So here I stand, with a heart unconfined,
Forever yours, with love undivined.

Title: Until My Last Breath

Written By: CJ. Childs

[Verse 1]
From the first look, I felt the fire inside,
I wanted to be the one to take you, my guide.
But demons chased me down, held tight in their grip,
Lost in a haze, sinking fast, letting life slip.

I crawled through the shadows, tore through the pain,
Bruised by opinions, crushed by the shame.
Without you, I crumbled, hollow and weak,
Now I’m back to be the man that you seek.

[Chorus]
Until my last breath, I’ll be your shield,
Through the dark, through the scars that time can’t heal.
No more broken promises from a hollowed-out man,
I’ve fought through the fire, and here I stand.
It’s you and me against the world’s heavy hand,
Until my last breath, I’ll be your man.

[Verse 2]
I see you clear now, like blood in my veins,
Burning the ghosts, breaking the chains.
The promises I shattered, the words I betrayed—
That was a dead man, a role I played.

Now I’m forged by regret, steady and true,
With nothing to lose, I’m coming for you.
Those dreams I once buried, blackened and cold,
I’m dragging them back, out of the mold.

[Chorus]
Until my last breath, I’ll be your shield,
Through the dark, through the scars that time can’t heal.
No more broken promises from a hollowed-out man,
I’ve fought through the fire, and here I stand.
It’s you and me against the world’s heavy hand,
Until my last breath, I’ll be your man.

[Bridge]
I’ve bled for this love, torn by the test,
Nothing will stop me from giving you my best.
I’ll fight like a wolf with death on his trail,
My love’s a weapon that will never fail.

[Chorus]
Until my last breath, I’ll be your shield,
Through the dark, through scars that never healed.
No more broken promises from a hollowed-out man,
I’m back from the edge, here I stand.
It’s us against the world’s iron hand,
Until my last breath, I’ll take my stand.

[Outro]
This love’s carved in stone, rough and true,
Through every fight, every scar I’ll see through.
Forever yours, until I fall and am dust,
Until my last breath, my vow, my trust.

Title: What If You Knew

By: CJ. Childs

(Verse 1)

What if you knew who your soulmate was,  

A spark in the dark, a love without pause?  

But every heartbeat comes with a price,  

A tangled fate, a roll of the dice.  

You could feel the pull, but it’s a heavy weight,  

Would you gamble it all, or would you hesitate?  

(Pre-Chorus)

In a world where dreams collide,  

Would you turn away, or let love decide?  

The future’s calling, but it’s bittersweet,  

Caught in the middle of what could be.  

(Chorus)

What if you knew, would you stay away?  

Knowing love's a game that could lead you astray.  

Would you go back in time, change the course of your heart?  

Or take a leap of faith, let it tear you apart?  

Oh, what if you knew who your soulmate was?  

Would you walk away, or take the chance because?  

(Verse 2)

Every moment whispers secrets untold,  

A love like fire, but it’s freezing cold.  

The clock is ticking, and the choice is yours,  

To chase the light or shut all the doors.  

What if forever came with a cost?  

Would you risk it all, or would you feel lost?  

(Pre-Chorus)

In a world where dreams collide,  

Would you turn away, or let love decide?  

The future’s calling, but it’s bittersweet,  

Caught in the middle of what could be.  

(Chorus)

What if you knew, would you stay away?  

Knowing love's a game that could lead you astray.  

Would you go back in time, change the course of your heart?  

Or take a leap of faith, let it tear you apart?  

Oh, what if you knew who your soulmate was?  

Would you walk away, or take the chance because?  

(Bridge)

Time can be cruel, but love is a fire,  

Burning so bright, igniting desire.  

But what if the cost was too much to bear?  

Would you run from the flame, or would you dare?  

(Chorus)

What if you knew, would you stay away?  

Knowing love's a game that could lead you astray.  

Would you go back in time, change the course of your heart?  

Or take a leap of faith, let it tear you apart?  

Oh, what if you knew who your soulmate was?  

Would you walk away, or take the chance because? 

(Outro) 

So here I stand at the edge of the night,  

With visions of love dancing in the light.  

If fate is a river, then I’ll let it flow,  

Embracing the journey, wherever it goes.  

What if you knew, would you run or stay?  

In this tangled love, I’ll find my own way.  

Oh, what if you knew, who your soulmate was?  

Would you hold on tight, or let go because?  

In the end, it’s love that will guide us home,  

Through every twist and turn, we’ll never be alone.

Title: Gods Promise

By: CJ. Childs

(Verse 1)

When the storms are raging, and the night feels long,

We search for answers in a world gone wrong.

We point our fingers, place the blame on high,

But it’s the devil’s whispers that lead us to cry.

(Chorus)

Hold on, hold tight, there’s a light in the dark,

Trust in His love, let it ignite a spark.

Don’t chase the shadows, let your heart expand,

Find your peace, my friend, in His gentle hands.

 (Verse 2)

We fight for our battles, wanting what’s right,

 But the anger inside us dims the guiding light.

God gave us strength, but we turn it away,

Caught in the chaos, we lose our way.

(Chorus)

 Hold on, hold tight, there’s a light in the dark,

Trust in His love, let it ignite a spark.

Don’t chase the shadows, let your heart expand,

 Find your peace, my friend, in His gentle hands.

(Bridge)

 Forgiveness is freedom, a step towards grace,

Leave behind the burdens, let Him take your place.

In every struggle, He’s right by your side,

 With faith as our anchor, we’ll weather the tide.

(Chorus)

 Hold on, hold tight, there’s a light in the dark,

Trust in His love, let it ignite a spark.

Don’t chase the shadows, let your heart expand,

 Find your peace, my friend, in His gentle hands.

(Outro)

 So when the world feels heavy, and you’re losing your way,

 Remember His promise, He’s with you each day.

In every moment, let your spirit stand,

Rest in His love, find strength in His hands.

Title: Gods Plan

By: CJ. Childs

(Verse 1)

In the shadows, we wander, lost and afraid,  

Thinking God’s the reason for the price we've paid.  

But it’s the devil lurking, feeding on our pain,  

Whispering in anger, driving us insane.  

(Chorus) 

Oh, if we could see, if we could believe,  

There’s a path of light that we can weave.  

Let go of the anger, trust in His way,  

God’s got a plan, don’t let the devil sway.  

(Verse 2)  

We fight for justice, for the wrongs we face,  

But in our own hands, we lose His grace.  

He gives us strength, then we take it back,  

Listening to darkness, we lose the track.  

(Chorus)  

Oh, if we could see, if we could believe,  

There’s a path of light that we can weave.  

Let go of the anger, trust in His way,  

God’s got a plan, don’t let the devil sway.  

(Bridge)  

In the devil’s playground, we lose our sight,  

But God’s there waiting, guiding us to light.  

Forgive and surrender, let your heart be free,  

In His gentle hands, that’s where we should be.  

(Chorus) 

Oh, if we could see, if we could believe,  

There’s a path of light that we can weave.  

Let go of the anger, trust in His way,  

God’s got a plan, don’t let the devil sway.  

(Outro) 

So take a step back, and hear His call,  

In faith, we’ll rise, we won’t stumble or fall.  

With love in our hearts, we’ll find our way,  

Living in His light, chasing the devil away.
