Speed of Light
Written By, Andrew G. (Ace)
BPM: 100 intro/ 104 onward
Chords: F#, D, A, E
Verse:
My systems been broke
Burning up in smoke
I’m begging for hope, for hope
I’m waiting to be found
Casting shadows on the ground
To the lasers and the sounds
Pre Chorus:
I lost my trajectory
But I found my gravity
I’m taking off to the galaxy
Feel my velocity
Chorus:
At the speed of light
I’m taking flight
Out of the day
Into the night
Feel the rumble in my core
Hear my engine ro-o-o-o-o-oar
At the speed of light
Melody:
The speed of light
i-i-ight i-i-i-i-i-ight
Verse:
I’m stuck in slow motion
I feel my own explosion
Time is frozen
Inside this vessel
I smell the burning metal
The spinning starts to settle
Pre Chorus:
I found my trajectory
I can feel the gravity
I’m taking off to the galaxy
Feel my velocity
Chorus:
At the speed of light
I’ve taken flight
Out of the day
Into the night
Feel the rumble in my core
Hear my engine ro-o-o-o-o-oar
At the speed of light!
Melody:
The speed of light
i-i-ight i-i-i-i-i-ight
Bridge:
Welcome to the galaxy
I found my gravity
Feel my velocity
At the speed of light
Chorus: (Key Change G)
The speed of light
i-i-ight i-i-i-i-i-ight
I’m taking flight
Into the night
Like a meteorite
At the speed of!

The video attached contains the lyrics to Speed of Light, a new track off my recovery album. Speed of Light is a catchy, pop rock track that takes you out of the day into the night – traveling through galaxies. Speed of Light refers to my battles through PAWS (Post Acute Withdrawal Syndrome) and addiction withdrawals, while some days you may be stuck in slow motion, others you may travel at the Speed of Light!

Misunderstood Strengths
Written By, Dan F. I used to look back on my childhood with confusion. I knew I was different—how I learned, how I connected—but I didn’t have the language for it. I just knew I didn’t fit. It wasn’t until I entered recovery that those memories began to shift. Not because they changed, but because…

Marijuana Addict
Written By, Mark S. I lit the leaf to calm my mind,But found my soul grew more confined.A fleeting peace, a fleeting high,Yet every dawn, the well ran dry. The smoke became a binding chain,A silent thief that numbed my pain.It whispered lies, “You’ll be set free,”While tightening its grip on me. Dreams delayed, and…
