Behind the Lines
This song was born from the moment the "masterful illusion" finally fell away and the reality of the rising water became impossible to ignore. It’s about that raw, vulnerable space where you realize you’ve been betrayed by a promise, yet somehow, you find the resilience to keep your head above the surface and your heart open to the light.

The Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Once upon a time, hope was a flame,
A hero with a vision, chasing a name,
In the heart of the city, seeking a peace,
Found a promise of bliss that would never cease.
The villain, MHD, wore a charming guise,
With tales of renewal, caught the hero’s eyes,
Sparkling new beginnings, dreams painted bright,
Little did they know, darkness hid in sight.
[Chorus]
The flooded dream, oh can’t you see?
A tale of betrayal, where truth holds the key,
Through the rain and the pain, we rise and we fight,
Turning ashes to wings, bringing hope to the light.
[Verse 2]
Behind every wall, a whisper of woe,
Termites and shadows in the twilight glow,
A haven became prison, walls closing in,
But the hero stood firm, refusing to give in.
Raw sewage rising, the floors barely cling,
With every flood raging, they heard the heart sing,
“Not all is lost,” echoed in their soul,
For resilience was a strength, making them whole.
[Chorus]
The flooded dream, oh can’t you see?
A tale of betrayal, where truth holds the key,
Through the rain and the pain, we rise and we fight,
Turning ashes to wings, bringing hope to the light.
[Bridge]
672 floods could never wash away,
The spirit that glowed in the darkest day,
For justice is a song that resonates deep,
With every step forward, a promise we keep.
Exposing the lies, to reclaim what is ours,
Chasing down shadows beneath the bright stars,
A hero remembers, with every heartbeat,
That love and resilience will not face defeat.
[Chorus]
The flooded dream, oh can’t you see?
A tale of betrayal, where truth holds the key,
Through the rain and the pain, we rise and we fight,
Turning ashes to wings, bringing hope to the light.
[Outro]
So here’s to the hero, brave and strong,
In a flooded dream, they learn to belong,
With eyes set on justice, and a heart full of fire,
They’ll mend the broken, and inspire the higher.
In the tale of resilience, they find their way,
With laughter and love guiding them every day.
