Secrets of the City
In the city pulse, secrets whispered in the night
Shadows dance under the dim, soft streetlight
Whispers carry tales that no one dares to speak
In the tangled web where the truths are too weak

Neon signs flicker, as the moonlight wanes
The city’s heart beats in the pouring rain
Every soul a player in this silent stage
Living their stay in every passing age

Chorus
Oh, in this urban maze, where the stories spin
Caught in the middle, beneath the city’s skin
Every soul hides a tale, every heartbeat sings
In this symphony of life, oh, the truth it brings

Bridge
Through the alleyways and crowded avenues
Echoes of the past and the present here
A million faces, a million untold lies
In the city’s embrace, where the truth belies
Chorus
Oh, in this urban maze, where the stories spin
Caught in the middle, beneath the city’s skin
Every soul hides a tale, every heartbeat sings
In this symphony of life, oh, the truth it brings

Outro
In the city’s tapestry, where secrets abound
Lies a million stories waiting to be found
In every whispered word and every silent shout
The truth unwinds that is what it is all about

Chorus
Oh, in this urban maze, where the stories spin
Caught in the middle, beneath the city’s skin
Every soul hides a tale, every heartbeat sings
In this symphony of life, oh, the truth it brings

How time slips away

By Edward McBride

These lyrics paint a picture of opulence and extravagance but also hint at a certain shallowness or emptiness in the pursuit of those living such a life. There are references to the exploitation of young women. There is a case here for the generation or societal trend of living in the moment without any thought for the future.

Howling in the Shadows of War

By Edward McBride

This is about the deep and painful experience of serving in the military and the lasting impact it has on one's life. The emotional and psychological toll that war takes on individuals is profound and often difficult to express. The internal conflict and struggles of veterans. The haunting memories of war, the moral dilemmas, and the unseen scars of battle are palpable in the lyrics. The weight of having to make life-and-death decisions in combat and the trauma resulting from those experiences are portrayed vividly here. The chorus speaks volumes about the message I am trying to convey--the devastating impact of war. The music is a source of solace and a coping mechanism. The guitar and singing serve as a form of therapy.

So I'd Fly

You Chose Me

By Jordan Lewis

This song of faith was originally meant to be a love song about being rescued from one’s self by another person. I guess in some ways it still is. You chose me is a love song to god, telling the story of how despite the doubts, and pain we go through, and all the bad decisions we make in life, he still chooses us. No matter how much work we need done.
