Be Hard On Me by Edwin H Balder

(intro) Taken by time failed love quest...I am not what I was ...still can not rest...Please love songs do ...do what you do best ...Take me away.... hide my heart .....let me rest.....

(Verse 1) We find the invisible here by chance...A roll of the dice, the quest for romance... luck intersections of illumination unspoken... We heal too late what was broken...The impossibility of love is my music...The impossibility of love is what I speak of...The impossibility of love I pray you choose it ....The impossibility of love...The impossibility of love...
(chorus)So Be hard on me ...make a stand ...let me do what I can........Help me make it easy on you.... what should I do....to make one from two.....be that love that's true..............So be hard on me.... I made you cry....but Please don't say goodbye.....please let me try....so be hard on me...just wait & see....Be hard on me...Be hard on me....I can be who you need me to be....Be hard on me...Be hard on me

(Verse 2) We find the invisible here by chance...A roll of the dice, the quest for romance... luck intersections of illumination unspoken... We heal too late what was broken...The impossibility of love is my music...The impossibility of love is what I speak of...The impossibility of love I pray you choose it ....The impossibility of love...The impossibility of love...

(chorus) So Be hard on me make a stand ...let me do what I can...Help me make it easy on you.... what should I do....to make one from two.....be that love that's true....So be hard on me....  made you cry....but Please don't say goodby....please let me try...so be hard on me...just wait & see....Be hard on me...Be hard on me....I can be who you need me to be....Be hard on me...Be hard on me

This is a life long ?

Stop Being Good By Songwriter Edwin H. Balder

When you see the devil dance,
halos fade, innocence takes a chance.
been the saint, the one who always stood,
But now I wonder, when's it time to stop being good
yea stop being good baby
stop being good
When do I break free from this virtuous chain?
When do I break out beyond the pain
The path blurs... caught in the wood,
Tell me heart, when to stop being good......stop being good baby...when to stop being good
I've stitched my lips
swallowed my pride,
Played by the rules, 
never strayed outside.
But my fire deep 
so misunderstood,
Yearning to know—when to stop being good?
stop being good baby stop being good stop being good baby stop being good 
temptation whispers, the stars conspire,
can't run away from my  desire
Road less traveled misunderstood,
ticking clock to stop being good.
stop being good baby
stop being good
When do I break free from this virtuous chain?
When does the rebel in me finally reign?
The path blurs,  caught in the wood,
Tell me, my heart, when to stop being good....stop  being good baby
Stop being good
 here at the crossroads of fate,
The angel ...the devil hesitates.
Road less traveled misunderstood,
is it time, my heart
to stop being good.
to stop being good baby
stop being good
Stop being good baby
stop being good
stop ....being....good....baby
STOP....BEING.........GOOD.......

Playing Hard By songwriter Edwin H. Balder

To be all of one
Velvet Surrender By songwriter Edwin H Balder
Moonlit shadows trace your spine,
My voice a rumble on the "Do Not Cross" line.
You talk in riddles, I talk in code—
A flick of my wrist a bit to bold
Silk ain’t fabric, it’s the way I tread,
Your heartbeat’s my tempo, sheets my throne instead.
You whisper "danger," I say "prove it"—
Ain’t no sin in how we move it.
(move it)


Show me where the velvet meets the flame,
I’ll be your reckoning, your calm, your claim.
Skin to shadow, we rewrite the script—
Stars ain’t watchin’… let the world eclipse.
(Eclipse… eclipse…)
Let the world… eclipse.

Your pride’s a fortress, I’m the quiet siege,
Knuckles grazing secrets where the laws don’t reach.
A smirk, a sip—you’re drownin’ slow,
My rules? "Bend, don’t break… let the chaos grow."
Decadence ain’t sin if it’s sanctified,
Our altar’s built where the daylights die.
will you hum my name like a hymn by dawn—
Ain’t savior, ain’t saint… just the storm you’re drawn to. hope so all along
(all along) all along

Show me where the velvet meets the flame,
I’ll be your reckoning, your calm, your claim.
Skin to shadow, we rewrite the script—
Stars ain’t watchin’… let the world eclipse.
(Eclipse… eclipse…)
Let the world… eclipse.

 "almost" or "now," 
("almost" or "now," )
 "maybe"  or "fo sure"
( "maybe"  or "fo sure")
Fall or flaw.
(Fall or flaw.).....



You’ll wear my chaos like a second skin,
Trace the lines where the night begins.
Tomorrow’s a ghost… tonight
 what ....will .....be...
Never a savior…but tonight...(tonight) fill a... hunger ....you.... need?

Velvet Surrender By songwriter Edwin H Balder

Wana Jump Sometimes
Edge Of The Brink by Songwriter Edwin H. Balder

 keep your letters in a shoebox tied,
With a ribbon that’s frayed from the tears I’ve cried.
I don’t read them, but I can’t let go,
They’re the only proof I have to show.
That love like ours was real, not pretend,
Even if it broke before it could mend.

We’re falling together, but not the same,
Two hearts unraveling in a fragile flame.
I’m holding on to what’s left of the spark,
But the night feels colder when you miss the mark.
We’re falling together, but not in sync,
Just two lost souls on the edge of the brink....edge of the brink
(edge of the brink.)

I see your shadow in the hallway light,
A ghost of a memory that visits at night.
You’re the ache in the quiet, the hum in the air,
The part of me that’s always there.
But the silence between us is a canyon wide,
And I’m too tired to cross to the other side.

]
We’re falling together, but not the same,
Two hearts unraveling in a fragile flame.
I’m holding on to what’s left of the spark,
But the night feels colder when you miss the mark.
We’re falling together, but not in sync,
Just two lost souls on the edge of the brink.....edge of the brink
(edge of the brink.)

I found your sweater in the back of my drawer,
Still smells like the nights we’d laugh and laugh even more
I thought about tossing it, but I couldn’t decide,
It’s the last piece of us I haven’t tried to hide.
Now it sits in the corner, a relic of then,
A reminder of how we’ll never be again.

 
They say love’s a fire,
They say love’s a fire,
but ours burned too fast,
Leaving ashes and questions
Leaving ashes and questions
 that will (always last.)
always last.(always last.)


We’re falling together, but not the same,
Two hearts unraveling in a fragile flame.
We’re falling together, but not in sync,
Just two lost souls on the edge of the brink.....edge of the brink
(edge ...of the brink.)
 
Just two lost souls on the edge of the brink.....edge of the brink
(edge.... of the brink.)
...edge.... of the brink

Edge Of The Brink by Songwriter Edwin H. Balder

In the shadows of Apache Junction, at the foot of the majestic Superstition Mountains, sits a weathered hacienda. This desert oasis is home to an enigmatic figure, a songwriter whose journey reads like a long, dusty road of honky-tonk bars and college cafeterias. He wasn't chasing fame or glitter; instead, he chose the soul-crushing beauty of music for music's sake.

Years spent hunched over sticky barroom tables and scribbling lyrics on napkins earned him a reputation—not in the spotlight but in the back rooms where deals are made. He wrote melodies that found their way into the hearts of stars who had lost their own muse. He sold his creations for cash, with no recognition, but the whisper of his songs carried the weight of his soul.

Finally, he bought this piece of desert paradise—a stable income from his timeless songs allowed him to live comfortably, if anonymously. Here in this hacienda, with his family beside him and the mountains as his backdrop, he found the peace to write hits under his own name. He chuckled at the irony that now, without chasing fame, he could create music that brought him joy.

In the end, it was never about the spotlight. It was about the journey, the stories, and the songs that wrote themselves through his life. As the sun set behind the Superstitions, casting long shadows over the hacienda, he strummed his guitar and sang—content, unknown, and unburdened by the world's gaze.
