When the End Draws Near by Haylee Darrow (an original folk ballad)

"Fly, fly, fly along home
Where you shall never feel alone
Where the poppies roam, where your debt is gone
Oh, oh fly along home.

Cry, cry, cry all your tears
When sunrise comes, gone are all of your fears
For in mornin's ray, gone is death's display
Oh, oh fly along home.

Sing, sing, sing your song
Forget how you were ever forlorn
For your time has come, so don't be glum
Oh, oh fly along home.

Close, close, close your eyes
Never trust their scornful lies
Lay down your dread, like you never have bled
Oh, oh fly along home.

Oh, oh fly along home
Oh, oh fly along home."

Hero by JVKE and Martin Garrix

"Ooh
Can't you see you're not ready?
My arms are getting heavy from the weight of the world
It's up to me and I'm getting sweaty
Is it too much to hold?
A thousand voices whisper noise
They plan my fall from grace

Whoa-oh, I know
Say you want a hero, you don't
Say you want a savior, pull you off the ground
Then you wanna blame me when you're falling down
Whoa-oh, I know
Don't wanna be your hero, oh no
When's it gonna sink in that we're sinkin' and fallin' apart?
'Cause love don't last in the dark..."

Can't Catch Me Now by Olivia Rodrigo

"There's blood on the side of the mountain
There's writing all over the wall
Shadows of us are still dancin'
In every room and every hall

There's snow fallin' over the city
You thought that it would wash away
The bitter taste of my fury
And all of the messes you made

Yeah, you think that you got away

But I'm in the trees, I'm in the breeze
My footsteps on the ground
You'll see my face in every place
But you can't catch me now
Through wading grass, the months will pass
You'll feel it all around
I'm here, I'm there, I'm everywhere
But you can't catch me now
No, you can't catch me now..."

Ghost Town by JVKE

"...I gotta get out of this ghost town
I gotta move on, I gotta get going with my life
'Cause everything's haunted by your ghost now
I gotta move on, I'm sick of this ghost town, ghost town

Sometimes I feel something like a (ghost)
Touchdown in our city, like a (ghost)
Fade right into the black like a ghost
If I disappeared, would anybody know?
And sometimes, I can feel you like a (ghost)
Like you follow me everywhere I go (ghost)
Call me crazy or insane, all I know is I feel you too close to let go..."
