whipser in the darkness

[Verse 1] Eight hours of caulking Dana by my side Landon in the backyard Dreams we can't hide [Verse 2] Since COVID hit us hard Remodeling our space Sanding down the rough spots Putting on a brave face [Chorus] Old sore knees But we keep on moving Paneling these walls Our dreams improving [Verse 3] Sweat and tired smiles Hard work in our eyes Together we are stronger Breaking all the ties [Bridge] Hope in every stroke Future in our hands Built with love and patience Together we will stand [Chorus] Old sore knees But we keep on moving Paneling these walls Our dreams improving

[Verse] See my buddy JJ Dead on the floor Life left his eyes Like an open door [Verse 2] Broken guitar strings Echo in the night Dreams fade away With the morning light [Chorus] Goodbye JJ Gone too soon Left us here Under a lonely moon Goodbye JJ We're missin' you Can't forget The things we'd do [Verse 3] Empty bottles Scattered 'round Silent echoes Without a sound [Verse 4] Heartbeats stop Tears don’t dry An empty room Where memories lie [Chorus] Goodbye JJ Gone too soon Left us here Under a lonely moon Goodbye JJ We're missin' you Can't forget The things we'd do

[Verse] Rough hands cold steel hummin’ Oil rig’s song in morning light Sweatin' tears keep on runnin' For the ones holdin’ on tight [Verse 2] Dusty boots on the doorstep Kids runnin’ shoutin’ praise Momma’s eyes more than words said Homebound after long days [Chorus] Just a man givin' all he’s got Others take 'n they leave a lot Standin' tall in the love he fought Every dime earned every battle fought [Verse 3] Dark sky endless horizon Ships move silent like ghosts Heartbeats countin’ the miles on Dreaming of family the most [Bridge] Midnight moon whispers cradle Tough heart so soft in its grace In the dark oil's blood fable Yet love lightens his weary face [Verse 4] Fire flare blinkin’ distant Hope burning brighter inside Holding tight feelin' consistent Love's the true ride worth the fight

Verse 1 In the silence, where shadows play I hear your whisper, "come what may" I'm drawn to the fire, that burns in your eyes A mystery unfolds, as we touch the sky Pre-Chorus I'm searching for the truth, behind your disguise A glimpse of what you're hiding, a sign that you realize That I'm not just a stranger, but a soul on the same ride Together we'll navigate, the darkness and the light Chorus But I'm trapped in your orbit, helplessly drawn to the flame Your secrets are a siren's call, that I can't help but proclaim I'm searching for the truth, but it's hidden from my eyes And I'm falling deeper, into the mystery of your disguise Verse 2 In the shadows, where secrets are made I hear your whisper, "don't be afraid" I'm chasing the ghosts, that haunt your past And hoping to find solace, that will forever last Pre-Chorus I'm searching for the truth, behind your disguise A glimpse of what you're hiding, a sign that you realize That I'm not just a stranger, but a soul on the same ride Together we'll navigate, the darkness and the light Chorus But I'm trapped in your orbit, helplessly drawn to the flame Your secrets are a siren's call, that I can't help but proclaim I'm searching for the truth, but it's hidden from my eyes And I'm falling deeper, into the mystery of your disguise Bridge I'll follow your lead, through the dark and the light Where shadows hide and secrets take flight I'll chase the ghosts of what could be real And maybe someday, we'll find our way to feel Outro In the silence now, I hear your voice so clear Whispering secrets, that only we can hear The darkness fades, as dawn begins to rise And I'm left with only questions, and a heart that's full of compromise

[Verse] Shade Blackwood morning sun Dusty boots hitting the ground Honest eyes but the fight is tough City broken tired of the lies around [Verse 2] Hands calloused but heart of gold Talking truth to the wanderin' crowd Whispers echo politics grow cold Shade Blackwood voice strong and proud [Chorus] Clean as the creek runs deep Shade Blackwood won't lose sleep Promise kept no secrets heap Shade Blackwood town to keep [Verse 3] Billboards plastered falsehoods sell Shade keeps walking no time to dwell Familiar faces stories tell Hoping Shade will ring that bell [Bridge] City lights and neon lies Shade sees through all their disguise Grassroots passion humble tries Shade Blackwood raise the prize [Chorus] Clean as the creek runs deep Shade Blackwood won't lose sleep Promise kept no secrets heap Shade Blackwood town to keep

My life’s blossom might have bloomed on all sides Save for a bitter wind which stunted my petals On the side that you knew The only one that you in village could see. From the dust I lift a voice I lift a voice of protest: I scream out loud, against the sky My flowering side you never saw! My flowering side you never knew You never knew my tears You never knew my fears And all my desires, that could not come true You living ones, you are fools indeed Who do not know the ways of the wind And the unseen forces That govern the processes of life. All the forces that reign of life Cause you don't Know the ways of the wind Yes you don't know the ways of the wind And all the forces that govern the processes of life All the forces that reign of life You dont' know the ways of the wind You dont' know the ways of the wind
