The room is quiet, your breath runs thin
Time's at the door, let me in
I watched you run, I watched you stall
I watched your shadow on the wall
You held the map, you knew the way
But played it safe another day
Before the dark, before the fall
Tell me now… have you seen it all?
Did you feel the dust on a nowhere road?
Did you carry more than you were told?
Or did you fold your fire small
Just to keep from losing it all?
Have you seen it all, the right, the wrong?
The nights too short, the days too long
Have you loved too hard, have you dared to fall?
Or did you just survive it all?
When the lights go down and silence calls
Tell me now… have you seen it all?
That girl on the train, your pulse ran wild
You froze right there, too scared, too mild
She caught your eye, you turned your head
Another chance you left for dead
That job you knew would steal your days
Paid you well to look away
That suitcase sitting by the wall
You almost left… you almost called
Did you ever choose the fear that frees?
Stand your ground, bend your knees?
Or wait for life to give a sign
While it crossed another line?
Have you seen it all, the dark, the light?
The busted dreams that still feel right
Have you stood your ground, have you hit the wall?
Or did you just survive it all?
When the truth is louder than these walls
Tell me now… have you seen it all?
(Solo)
I gave you rivers, I gave you rain
Sunday mornings, midnight trains
I never asked you to win the fight
Just to choose before the night
Regret is loud, remorse is deep
But buried dreams don't ever sleep
So tell me son, before you go
What hurts more… the yes or the no?
(Solo)
Have you seen it all, the blood, the grace?
The lines that time won't ever erase
Have you said your truth, have you risked the fall?
Or did you just survive it all?
When eternity breaks these walls
Answer me…
Have you seen it all?
I'm not your judge, I'm just the call
The door was open…
After all
Mike reads by a hallway light
Corners bent, the cover worn
The house is quiet, walls are thin
Night leans close before the dawn
Ink moves faster than his eyes
A city sketched in black and blue
Inside those narrow borders
He finds a way through
They call him Mike Super Kid
Crossing gaps the dark leaves wide
On the page the lines hold firm
In the room the light moves on
At school he learns to look away
Names fall soft and linger still
She passes by with fleeting light
Her glance drifts off against her will
In the panels she turns back
As if she always understood
Four colors speak the things
Real life never would
They call him Mike Super Kid
Tracing paths the dark won't show
On the page the lines hold firm
In the room the light moves on
(Solo)
Some moments have no names
They linger between the frames
Heroes don't explain the dark
They drift gently, strike a spark
They call him Mike Super Kid
Crossing gaps the dark leaves wide
Between the ink and what is real
He learns to carry on
Sixteen and static in a hidden place
Dust on the speakers, summer on our face
A hand on the mixer, a second of doubt
We felt the town pause when the signal went out
Needles hit vinyl, sharp in the air
VU meters jumping, red everywhere
Records spun louder than streets below
Sound as a weapon, ready to go
Through the antenna, a voice in the night
Talking to stars just out of sight
If Major Tom was drifting by
He'd hear our town trying to fly
Turn it up, let it cut through the walls
Wake the streets and the factory halls
We were more than this quiet town
With the volume high, nowhere bound
One said he'd leave on the first fast train
One stayed close, learned the rain
One wanted stages, lights, and a band
One found life in familiar land
We spoke in futures, wired and loud
Names on posters, heads in the clouds
Amps were humming, time stood thin
We thought the world would just let us in
(Solo)
Turn it up, let it cut through the walls
Wake the streets and the factory halls
We were more than this quiet town
With the volume high, nowhere bound
Now it's quieter, but I hear it still
Hands on the faders, teenage will
Summer voices leaking through the wire
We talked our way out of the fire
Books of school stacked on the floor
Teddy bears leaning by the door
Hands that tremble, heartbeats slow
Wondering what the night will show
Curtains sway with the midnight air
Silent questions everywhere
A gentle warmth she cannot name
Tonight, nothing will be the same
Will it linger, will it fade?
Every choice a price she's paid
All the hope and all the fear
Lead her closer, crystal clear
What is love, what is real?
Moments fragile, hearts to feel
Every touch, a secret flame
Tomorrow wakes, but nothing's the same
(Solo)
Morning light on scattered things
Whispers of the night she brings
Lessons learned in quiet sighs
A heart that wakes with open eyes
What is love, what is real?
Moments fragile, hearts to feel
Every touch, a secret flame
Tomorrow wakes, but nothing's the same
She steps beyond the night's soft start
A woman wakes inside her heart
The alarm is hiding in the dark
Morning's waiting in his car
Dust and iron on his hands
Another day he never planned
She's asleep, hair on her face
Moonlight in this borrowed place
He watches time against the wall
Knowing he can't have it all
A golden ring against his skin
Pulls him back to where he's been
Little girl, when the night lets go
You'll wake up where the sheets are cold
What we had was real but brief
Caught between desire and belief
You gave me back something inside
But little girl… the morning decides
On the chair, his jacket holds the dust
Another dawn arrives because it must
In his pocket, a small toy car
Edges faded from going too far
There are eyes he knows too well
Asking things he'll never tell
Different walls, the same old road
Same tired heart, same heavy load
Little girl, don't wait on me
I belong to where I'm already seen
What we were was borrowed light
Burned too fast into the night
You'll be fine, you'll outrun the day
Little girl… just don't stay
(Solo)
You've got time, I've got a past
Some doors close, some don't last
The door shuts soft, the sky turns gray
Two different lives greet the day
She flips her hair, a little grin
A wrinkle creases when she smiles within
Cups clink softly as she stirs her tea
The morning sun., lights her , quietly
She folds the laundry with a careful hand
A drawer left open where the spices stand
The pages turn slowly in her worn-out book
Little acts that catch my wandering look
It's loud outside, the streets move fast
But here with her, the quiet lasts
Shadows stretch as evening falls
It's the little things, that mean it all
She hums along while cooking lunch
The kettle whistles, the bread has a crunch
The blanket draped the way she leaves it down
(Solo)
It's loud outside, the streets move fast
But here with her, the quiet lasts
Shadows stretch as evening falls
It's the little things that mean it all
In basement rooms with peeling walls and a borrowed amp
Rust on the strings of a guitar we bought second hand
With burning fingers we kept playing through the night
Shouting songs we barely knew under flickering lights
A soundproof room somewhere along our broken street
Coins on the table marking time, counting every beat
Half-empty bars, that familiar smoke in the air
We learned too fast, too hungry to ever care
Every note was cut and carved into our skin
Every fall showed us another way to win
No fast lanes, no shortcuts in sight
Just calloused hands and stubborn pride
Now kids make music with AI
No scars, no silence, no reasons why
You can teach a machine to almost feel alive
But it never lived this kind of life
(Solo)
Late night drives on tired roads and worn-out tires
Dreams too heavy for the gas we could afford to buy
We didn't know if we'd ever make it out
But we always knew exactly why we played that loud
Now kids make music with AI
No scars, no silence, no reasons why
You can teach a machine to almost feel alive
But it never lived this kind of life
I've been walking with your weight on my chest
Every breath a promise I never said
I learned how to smile with my hands tied tight
How to wake up scared of the morning light
Your name was a wound I refused to close
A truth I carried, a path I chose
I stayed in the dark so I wouldn't forget
But living in shadows is still a regret
I thought holding on would keep you near
But love can turn into fear
Goodbye hero, you're still inside me
That will never fade, never break, never leave
I don't leave you behind, I take you with me
In every step toward the life I still see
Goodbye hero, this isn't the end
It's me learning how to live again
I watched the world keep spinning around
While I stood still, nailed to the ground
People said time would soften the pain
They never told me it changes its name
I carried your silence like it was mine
Like stopping would somehow bend time
But you wouldn't want me frozen here
You were always light, never fear
If I stay broken, what do I prove?
Even love has to move
Goodbye hero, you're still inside me
That truth survives every loss, every fracture
I don't let you go, I let me go on
I owe you a life, not a permanent dawn
Goodbye hero, hear me when I say
I'll live for us both from today
I'll laugh without guilt
I'll dream without shame
I'll say your name
Without breaking again
You're not the reason I stop
You're the reason I start
(Solo)
Goodbye hero, stay where you are
In my blood, in my voice, in who we are
I'll carry your love, not the weight
I'll walk forward, even if late
Goodbye hero, I finally know
Loving you means letting go
I'm still here
And that's okay
Hearts pound
Like a drummer's beat
As we take shelter
From the enemy's fleet
Crumbling walls and streets once home
Now shattered pieces of shattered souls
In the silence whispers grow loud
The heavy rain becomes a shroud
Each one a momentary pain
In this silence a deafening sound
One day the rain will cease
And the sun will heal our scars
But now we live in fear's release
Where shadows dim our shining stars
In the shadow lands
Bullets fall like drops of rain
Each one with a pain
That echoes through the night again
One day the clouds will part
And the sun will rise once more
(Solo)
Through the fire and the night
We strive with every heartbeat to survive
One day the rain will cease
And the sun will heal our scars
But now we live in fear's release
Where shadows dim our shining stars
Rusty Joe rolls through the town
A wooden cart, the wheels worn down
He moves in silence, street to street
Hauling lives he'll never meet
Old letters, clocks that lost their sound
Keys and tools that paid their way
Broken charms from years ago
Stories he was never meant to know
Every home he passes by
Whispers of love, of joy, of sighs
But when he stops and looks inside
All he has is the endless ride
He goes on, just another day
Nothing left that's his to say
Years piled up, both high and low
He walks the streets alone, Rusty Joe
A child's toy, a wedding card
Faded ribbons, a broken jar
He buys the years for pennies spent
Selling back the time he never lent
No love held close, no children grown
No dreams to claim as his own
And when he stops and looks inside
All he has is the endless ride
(Solo)
He goes on, just another day
Nothing left that's his to say
Years piled up, both high and low
He walks the streets alone, Rusty Joe
Dusk turns to dawn, shadows grow
All the hearts he's touched are gone
He moves through quiet streets so slow
No dreams to hold or show, Rusty Joe
The air grew dense without a sound
The weight of all he ever found
Every step felt carved in stone
Even light felt overthrown
Faces waited, motionless
Trust laid bare in stillness
Nothing asked, nothing sworn
Only echoes of what was borne
He reached the edge where limits thin
The earth stood still beneath his skin
The sky held breath, the fire grew dim
No more worlds to win
Strength remained, unbroken, raw
Bearing all the cost he saw
Not defeat, not final flame
Just the price of every name
If all that rises meets the ground
If power fades without a sound
What survives when height is done
When the race has all been run?
(Solo)
He reached the edge where limits thin
The earth stood still beneath his skin
The sky held breath, the fire grew dim
No more worlds to win
No ground to claim, no path to draw
The night stood open, bound by law
No echo left, no crown, no sin
No more worlds to win
