Nightshade (Hushed)

Numbers (Hushed)

“The First Breath” opens with the pulse of the earth — a heartbeat drum and banjo rolling in unison as the fiddle hums through dawn light.
It’s an Appalachian field-gospel rooted in clay, air, and spirit — the moment when soul meets body and the world exhales for the first time.

Both prayer and proclamation, it blends rustic mountain hymn tones with raw Americana grit, offering reverence without religion — a sacred echo of life itself.
Its sound is grounded, not polished: dirt under the fingernails, wind through the timber line, and a rhythm that feels like home.

First Breath

10th Song

LITTLE HEARTBEAT
Is this the part where we finally touch?
Tearing through the knee-high underbrush?
I can still hear your whisper, "I want the best of your love."

But please god be dumb for once 
and don't ask if she means The Eagles or The Emotions.
Set the pace, raise the stakes, "Listen babe, you've got the best of my love"

I've got what you need
if you want to feel your little heart beat.
So hot, so sweet, you know I want to feel your little heart beat.

I never claimed that we made much sense.
I was playing "Louie, Louie" on the pipe organ 
on the night when I met you, feeling barely 17.

So ring the bell, baby strike a chord--
Homecoming Queen knocking over that liquor store 
nonchalant, "What do you want dilettante?" Sweeter than a tangerine.

I've got what you need
if you want to feel your little heart beat.
So hot, so sweet, you know I want to feel your little heart beat.

I feel it coming on so strong
(I wanna feel your little heart beat)
now that I've held you in my arms.
Yeah, feel your little heart beat.

I've got what you need
if you want to feel your little heart beat.
So hot, so sweet, you know I want to feel your little heart beat.

"Sadie"

Sadie's waiting
Oh so patiently
Untied laces
Street light pacing
Sadie's phasing 

Sadie's hazy 
Hair freshly braided 
She slips and spaces
Mind's in mazes 
Sadie's shaking

Latch on lady
Latch on safely I-
I'll be your safety
Be your casing-
For you Sadie-

Talked all through the
Night into the dawn-
Midnight's tastings
Morning's making-
Sadie's saying-

Ooo x8

Sadie's waking
Under the blankets I'm
I'm next to, facing,
Sadie and all of
Her graces

Grooves

well this will set you right
it's supposed to numb the feeling, get you high
so go on and take the cure
and free yourself from care because it hurts

you can't kill the flame
you can't kill the flame

there's something that i lost
but now i can't remember what it was
the trail is growing cold
and i can't find the way that takes me home

you can't kill the flame
you can't kill the flame

but i'm tired of chasing a chemical cure
i don't want to have to turn
all the sad songs into love
happy ends for everyone
look without look within
misdirection wearing thin
i'm tired of chasing a chemical cure

the world will still go on
the earth will keep revolving round the sun
there's something that we lost
and now we can't remember what it was

we can't kill the flame
we can't kill the flame

but i'm tired of chasing a chemical cure
i don't want to have to turn
all the sad songs into love
happy ends for everyone
look without look within
misdirection wearing thin
i'm tired of chasing a chemical cure

i’m throwing shadows up on the wall
a simple deception is easiest of all
my mind is aching, my heart’s a slave
the gentlest prison is the hardest one to break

i want it all
and then some more
