[Verse]
The Moon looks down in shock and awe
A silent witness
It saw it all
How could we live
I hear you implore
Balancing on chaos
Craving more

[Chorus]
Too close to the edge
Yet somehow we rise
Nothing but the thrill and the will to survive
We laugh at the fall
We dance in the fire
A reckless heartbeat
Burning desire

[Verse 2]
A fragile thread
A dangerous game
The stars above whisper our name
Every stumble
Every climb
We’re writing the anthem of borrowed time

[Prechorus]
And still
We run
We chase the unknown
A flicker of light
A world overthrown

[Chorus]
Too close to the edge
Yet somehow we rise
Nothing but the thrill and the will to survive
We laugh at the fall
We dance in the fire
A reckless heartbeat
Burning desire

[Bridge]
The Moon keeps watch
Its gaze won’t wane
Through the madness
Through the pain
It wonders how we’re still alive
But it’s the chaos where we thrive

Survive

Stand in the pouring rain
I could see my own grave
Find the one to blame
Say the bit that they won't say

Damn my back's in pain
From carrying the whole game
I could crash the plane
I could burn the whole place

And I'm not afraid
To swallow a live grenade
And blow you away
Blow you away

Cut through the static haze
I'm a spark that lights the flames
No one left to save
I'll erase what you can't face

Shadows crawl inside my brain
Nothing left but rust and chains
Tear it down, erase the name
Watch it all go up in flames

And I'm not afraid
To swallow a live grenade
And blow you away
Blow you away

And I'm not afraid
To swallow a live grenade
And throw you away
Throw you away

Black Soul
Lyrics by Felicia Black
Cover by Aspect

Yeah, you can slide, but you can't hide,
It may be blood today,
You ride a feeling deep inside,
Gonna say hell to pay

Got made it's easy gettin' laid
Come to me take that fee
Don't be afraid, need to get paid,
You see this wasn't free,

Black Soul, all the time,
Black Soul, you're so fine
Black Soul, make you mine
Black Soul, make you mine
Yeah

Late at night, don't look at the light
Don't wink don't even blink
It just might, you say be all right,
You think just one more drink

Black Soul, all the time,
Black Soul, you're so fine
Black Soul, make you mine
Black Soul, make you mine
Yeah

Something better instead
Did you make him in bed
Did you talk to the dead
Was it all in your head

Sweet roll, gonna steal his bankroll
So pop it to the top
Fill the hole of your black ass soul
Don't cop, don't ever stop

Black Soul, all the time,
Black Soul, you're so fine
Black Soul, make you mine
Black Soul, make you mine
Yeah

Black Soul, make you mine
Yeah

Black Soul

Bad, Bad Girls
Lyrics by Felicia Black

I woke up in bed with a bottle by my hand,  
Body still buzzin’ from a one-night stand.  
Told myself I’d quit, but it's too damn sweet,  
Chasin’ this trouble out on the street.  

Mama said, “Girl, you’ll pay the price,”  
But being bad feels so nice.  

Bad, bad girls, too much whiskey and gin,
Bad, bad girls, drunk on sex and sin,
Bad, bad girls, gonna jump right in

Fell for a girl with a devil’s grin,  
She took my soul, but I’d do it again.  
Now together, spinnin’ tales of sin,  
Dancin’ with the fire, we're jumpin’ right in

They say, “Girls, you’re losin’ your way,”  
But we're ridin’ this train till the break of day.

Bad, bad girls, too much whiskey and gin,
Bad, bad girls, drunk on sex and sin,
Bad, bad girls, gonna jump right in

Life’s a gamble, and we're all in tonight,  
Oh baby, bad girls just feels so right.

The music's callin’, it’s playin’ our tune,  
Moonlight’s burnin’, gonna howl at the moon.
Pour us another, let the good times spin,  
Bad, bad girls, but we're gonna win!

They say, “Girls, you’re losin’ your way,”  
But we're ridin’ this train till the break of day.

Bad, bad girls, too much whiskey and gin,
Bad, bad girls, drunk on sex and sin,
Bad, bad girls, gonna jump right in

Gonna' be bad, bad girls …
Gonna' be bad, bad girls …
Bad, bad girls …


Bad, Bad Girls

[Intro]
(Do you feel them?)
(Do you feel them watching?)

[Verse 1]
There's a weight above the ceiling that we're never meant to see
Fingers longer than the highways pulling strings we call "free"
Every breath you think you're taking, every step you think you choose
They're the ones who move the current, they're the ones who light the fuse

[Pre-Chorus]
And sometimes late at night I feel it—
A tickle on my skin
Like something reaching through the fabric
From the world that we're trapped in

[Chorus]
THEY'RE ABOVE! THEY'RE ABOVE!
Giant hands we've never known
THEY'RE ABOVE! THEY'RE ABOVE!
Pulling flesh, conducting bone!
We're the dolls beneath the floorboards
We're the shadows of their storm
TONIGHT THE GIANTS RAGE IN HEAVEN
AND WE DANCE TO KEEP THEM WARM!

[Verse 2]
Watch the cars move like they're dreaming on an invisible track
Every baby born is molded by the hands behind the black
Lightning's just their fingertips tapping on our paper sky
We mistake the strings for freedom, we mistake the cage for "why"

[Pre-Chorus]
Can you feel the tremors building?
Something's wrong up there tonight
Halloween—the veil is thinning
And the storm's becoming bright

[Chorus]
THEY'RE ABOVE! THEY'RE ABOVE!
Giant hands we've never known
THEY'RE ABOVE! THEY'RE ABOVE!
Pulling flesh, conducting bone!
We're the dolls beneath the floorboards
We're the shadows of their storm
TONIGHT THE GIANTS RAGE IN HEAVEN
AND WE DANCE TO KEEP THEM WARM!

[Instrumental Break]

[Bridge]
They made the mothers, made the fathers
Made the children made of dust
We're scratching at dimensions
While they cradle us in rust

Feel the tickle? That's them moving
Feel the shiver? That's them near
On Halloween the storm breaks open—
AND THE GIANTS SHOW NO FEAR!

[Final Chorus]
THEY'RE ABOVE! THEY'RE ABOVE!
Gods we'll never understand!
THEY'RE ABOVE! THEY'RE ABOVE!
We're the puppets in their hands!
We're the echoes in the basement
We're the trembling, we're the swarm
THE GIANTS SCREAM TONIGHT IN THUNDER
AND WE DANCE INSIDE THEIR STORM!

[Outro]
(The storm is here...)
(Can you feel them now?)
(They're dancing too...)
(They're dancing too...)

Do you feel them?

I see you - Through the Static

Lyrics:

Hidden tears keep the pain unseen
No sturdy pillar upon which to lean
The infected wound that cannot bleed
A wicked storm from which dark views breed
None other can see or understand
This spiral down was never planned
Our fear is not chosen; it’s another curse
Twisted and cruel, it only gets worse 
We’ve been condemned for our apathy
No longer comforted by their sympathy
They question our who, what, and our whys
And dismiss us with a roll of the eyes
This sinister carnival leaves us insane

We are alone in the dark

Alone in our pain

I was held together but I’m breaking free
That weak adhesive isn’t holding me
Your grievances spoken, I’ve heard them before
With all you've said, how could there be more?

I lash out in a rage induced by your spit
And if I hurt, then maybe I needed it
You judge my pain like its sacrilege
You smack me down like it’s a privilege

I’ll bleed if I want to bleed
Release my fury if I feel the need
You laughed at me, in my depression
Your stony heart reigned with oppression!

You never did try to understand
Calm my fears, or just hold my hand
You wonder why this rage has risen
I’m alone in the dark, 

And it feels like a prison

I’m alone in the dark
and yet I try to smile
I’m calm, controlled
and no longer hostile

Somehow, I found a power inside of me
To let it all go and allow my spirit to be free
As friends around me whispered words into my ear
They had given me the strength to release my fear

I have finally found the pillars upon which to lean
A blade to cut away the pain, both quick and clean
They gave me the authority to ignite my passion
Their understanding marked a deep compassion
They encouraged me to ignite that spark

To teach me 

I’m not alone in the dark.

Alone in the Dark

Where it all began, this was one of Shodah’s first original albums during his years leading the rock band Audio Tap from 2012 to 2021. From long, noisy nights on tour across the UK to the sparks of creation that birthed these tracks, Audio Tap carved a deep groove into Shodah’s life and artistic voice. Now, fully recorded with vocals, guitar, and bass performed by Shodah, the album finally steps into the light it’s always deserved!
