Listen to the night
Listen to the silence 
Only you can hear inside 
A silence only you can understand
A silence all your own

All the tears you cried
Searching for a reason 
Why the music did 
If only you could understand 
You wouldn’t feel so all alone 

Wishing on a star
If you could give away
All your broken yesterdays 
You’d never have to wonder why he didn’t stay 
If you could find a way, would you ever let him go?
If you could find a way, would you ever let him go?

Memories
The pictures of a lifetime 
We capture in our minds 
In every one we see
Another reason to believe 
In those we left behind
Sometimes the pictures that we see
Are so unkind
They’re so unkind
They’re so unkind

Listen to your heart
Telling you he’ll always 
Be a part of who you are
No matter where you are, he’s never far away
No matter where you are, he’ll never let you go 

Listen to the night 
Listen to the silence 
Only you can hear inside 
A silence only you can understand 
A silence all your own

Follow Me down

By Howard Aronson

This is another fictional lyric, kind of obscure and cryptic. It basically says to the woman if you want to be happy follow Me down. Down where, I don't know. And all my relationships I've always said to women be who you are be who you want to be and if you want to go just go. Sometimes we took break from each other and got back together, and sometimes we didn't. I guess follow me down can have a double meaning it can mean follow me down a road to success, or follow me down the road to demise.

No sleep

By Donald Moore Jr

This is a great song lyrics that talks about the love of art, it also looks at some women as materials that should be purchased, there's a lot of mature bragging in this, it talks about experiences with sexual life and how irresponsible people can get, at the end of the day the lyrics gets sober and explains that a better world is possible but still we shouldn't forget the main purpose, the genre can both be pop or rap, inspired by Ekene Peter Odinye
