Butter Up the dance floor we are sliding in....

Playing Hard  By songwriter Edwin H. Balder

Tried to play it cool,.......
 keep my heart at bay, ..........
idea make you chase,..
 push you away...................
 But every glance, every smile you send,................. Shows me ........... this game’s gotta end.
 
Playing hard ......Playing hard..... Playing hard ......
 to get .....................hasn’t worked yet, 
Playing hard to get .....................hasn’t worked yet, .....hasn’t worked yet, .....
My heart’s on fire,...........................
 a fire you set 
 Looking back
so regret...so regret 
playing hard..
Playing hard ............................
Playing hard to get.
 Every text...... unread,................................
forget
 anything we said
. Tried to make you want me for sure ..........................But I’m the one.......................... wanting you more.......more

Playing hard ......Playing hard..... Playing hard ......
 to get .....................hasn’t worked yet, 
Playing hard to get .....................hasn’t worked yet, .....hasn’t worked yet, .....
My heart’s on fire,...........................
 a fire you set 
 Looking back
so regret...so regret 
playing hard..
Playing hard ............................
Playing hard to get.

 No more games,
No more games,
 no more lies,
 no more lies
Just the truth in my eyes.....
 Can’t deny trying to hide...
all.... these ....feelings.... held.... inside!.
Playing hard....
Playing hard...
playing hard to get

 Let’s start fresh, ..............................forget the past,......................... No more walls,.........................
 let’s make this last..........................
 Open hearts, nothing to regret,
 playing Together but 
not hard to get....not...hard...to ....get

Playing hard ......Playing hard..... Playing hard ......
 to get .....................hasn’t worked yet, 
Playing hard to get .....................hasn’t worked yet, .....hasn’t worked yet, .....
My heart’s on fire,...........................
 a fire you set 
 Looking back
so regret...so regret 
playing hard..
Playing hard ............................
Playing hard to get.

Playing hard ......Playing hard..... Playing hard ......
 to get .....................hasn’t worked yet, 
Playing hard to get .....................hasn’t worked yet, .....hasn’t worked yet, .....
My heart’s on fire,...........................
 a fire you set 
 Looking back
so regret...so regret 
playing hard..
Playing hard ............................
Playing hard to get.

Tear me Down

The Gospel of a Ghost
A soul resurrection in three acts.

This is not a breakup song — it’s a reckoning. A woman erased by love sings herself back into existence. From a haunted whisper to a gospel roar, this track journeys through intimacy, defiance, and sacred fire.
Recorded like a lost field tape: warm, analog, and unfiltered. Every breath, every creak, every cry matters.
The ghost doesn’t haunt the house — she becomes the cathedral.

The Gospel of a Ghost

[Verse 1]
This house don't know my name no more
His coat still hanging by the door
But the mirror don’t reflect my face —
Just lipstick ghosts and empty space

[Verse 2]
He took his keys, took his rage,
Left my voice on the torn-out page
Now silence wears my wedding ring
And memory don’t mean a thing

[Pre-Chorus] 
I lit the candles for who I was
But the flame just whispered “because…”

[Chorus]
But I got my name on my own tongue
Burned it back into my lungs
I ain't his echo, ain't his ghost
I'm the gospel that hurts the most
Hallelujah in the static now
He left me hollow, I came out loud
Say it slow, say it right:
I rise alone tonight

[Verse 3]
The floor still creaks like it knows my sin
The bed remembers the shape we were in
But I changed the locks, repainted the shame
And left his shadow calling my name

[Pre-Chorus] 
I ain't no afterthought, no sigh
I’m the hymn he never tried

[Final Chorus] 
I got my name on my own tongue
Sung it raw, sung it young
I ain't no whisper, ain't no ghost
I’m the gospel he fears the most
Hallelujah in the static scream
This ain’t revenge — it’s self-esteem
Say it loud, say it right:
I am the flame. I am the night.

[Outro] 
This silence is mine.
And I sing it true.

Take me Away

Kiss Me in the Dark


[Verse 1]
Shadows tracing on the wall,
your breath’s the only sound I call.
Fingers write across my skin,
a secret language born of sin.

[Pre-Chorus]
No eyes, no lies, just touch and spark,
baby, pull me deeper into the dark.

[Chorus]
Kiss me in the dark,
where no one sees the fire start.
Lips like velvet, burnin’ slow,
a place where only we can go.
Kiss me in the dark…
let the night forget who we are.

[Verse 2]
Every heartbeat, heavy, near,
your silence louder than I hear.
The scent of fire clings to you,
like shadows kiss the midnight blue.

[Pre-Chorus]
No truth, no proof, just skin on skin,
baby, let the night forgive our sin.

[Chorus]
Kiss me in the dark,
where no one sees the fire start.
Lips like velvet, burnin’ slow,
a place where only we can go.
Kiss me in the dark…
let the night forget who we are.

[Bridge]
Heat like incense on my skin,
burn me slow, then breathe me in.
Every whisper lights a flame,
say my sin, but not my name…

[Final Chorus]
Kiss me in the dark,
make the shadows fall apart.
Take me where the sinners go,
hold me till the night says no.
Kiss me in the dark…
let the night forget who we are.

Kiss Me in the Dark

Lyrics:
Where is my heart
Taking me now
Across an empty desert
Into an abandoned house
Endless rooms
Empty halls
cries of joy
sobs of pain

Where is my heart
Taking me now? (Taking me now!)

Lost in a dream…
I wish I was.
But instead…
I am trapped in this cage.
They called it life.
I call it imposed.
I wish I could leave 
But where would I go?
(Where would I go?)

Where is my soul
Leading me now?
Across a vacant highway
Into an empty hole
Dark recesses 
Endless space 
Screams of fear
Gasps of life

Where is my soul
Leading me now? (Leaving me now?)

Lost in a dream
I wish I was
But instead
I am trapped in this cage (trapped)
They call it life
I call it imposed 
I wish I could leave 
But where would I go?
(Where do I go?)

Where is my body
Pressing me now?
Against another human
Changing me again, again 
Formless mind
Empty soul
Voiceless pleas
End of life

Where is my body
Pressing me now? (Changing me now?)

Lost in a dream
I wish I was
But instead
I am trapped in this cage
They call it life
I call it imposed 
I wish I could leave 
But where would I go?
Where would I go
Where would I go?

but where would i go?

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.
