The Gentle Whisper

Pretty wifey named Mae, two sweet kids at home
Works downtown, in the Fortune 500 scene
Neighbors think you’re the perfect man
Morning jog, gold ring on your hand
Nobody sees the truth behind your smile
That you’ve been running triple lives all this while

You’re John in Miami, Sammy in Monaco
Now with Frida in The Hague
Wifey thinks you’re in the UK
At a UN meet for three whole days, but

Playboy, you’re a playboy
Yeah, we know all your escapades, your exploits
Playboy, you’re a playboy
Smooth as butter, slippery like catfish on a boat
But this time, you can’t get away.

Met   sweet Greta on a train to Prague
Innocent as Mae when she gave you her heart
She’d just landed her dream as a uni lecturer
You came in with olive oil lips, Italian model texture
Sold her a dream in your velvet tone
She believed you were hers alone
Next week? You with Matilda in a Polish town
What did you tell her? I’m an undercover cop

Playboy, you’re a playboy
Yeah, we know all your escapades, your exploits
Playboy, you’re a playboy
Smooth as butter, slippery like catfish on a boat
But this time, you can’t get away.

Dubai on a yacht, champagne in hand
This time you claim you’re an architect man
Been a doctor, an engineer, a lecturer too
Now you build dreams, dreams on a bed with a view

But your cup is full, boy, your trail's gone cold
Matilda, Greta, Maryann, Roxanne… here now
They knock on your hotel door
New girl opens, they walk in, then three, then four
Last to walk in… Mae with a stare like steel
And a divorce letter, the final deal

Playboy, you’re a playboy
Every day for the thief, you just got caught
Playboy, you’re a playboy
You played their hearts, but you smelled of a rat
And that’s that…..checkmate.

You couldn’t keep it… in your pants
Playboy…

PLAYBOY

Before You Judge Me

Mmm, Before you judge me, try to see my heart…

I’ve walked through nights that felt too long
Carrying dreams that didn’t belong
I’ve stumbled, I’ve broken, I’ve tried to stand
Building my life with unsteady hands
They don’t know the storms I’ve faced
Or the tears I’ve learned to hide away

They see my flaws and call me strange
But they don’t see the miles, the change

Before you judge me, please try to know me
Look into my eyes and see where I’ve been
I’m not perfect, I'm just a man
Trying to survive
Before you judge me, walk in my skin

I’ve carried guilt I didn’t earn
Waited for love that didn’t return
I’ve chased the light through endless rain
Found my joy through all the pain
And though my path’s been rough and wild
I’m still that dreamer, ..still that child

You see my mask but not my scars
You judge the man, the flaws, not who I am

Before you judge me, please try to know me
Look into my heart and feel where it’s pure
I’m not perfect, but I keep on trying
Every day, I’m learning what to do
Before you judge me, know me like you

I’ve fought my way through dark shadows
Held on to hope I couldn’t even keep
But somehow faith still calls my name
And tells me everything will be okay

Before you judge me, please try to love me
There’s more to me than you’ve ever seen
I’m not perfect, but I’ve kept on trying
Through every loss, I still chase the dream
Before you judge me…
Please…..just know me.

Before you judge me…..know me.

Before You Judge Me

Caught in the Riptide by Nova J

[Verse 1]
I remember skipping class
Fifteen and feeling free
Ben McKinney, Logan Glass
Do those guys remember me?
Roll a blunt dipped in honey
Tell a joke, shit you’re funny

[Pre-Chorus]
I feel on top of the world

[Hook]
ooo-ehh, ooo-ehh, riptide-ayy
ooo-ehh, ooo-ehh, riptide-ayy

[Verse 2]
By nineteen, flashing lights
Little pills of ecstasy
Danced all night, lost my sight
Cash was gone so easily
Lines and bumps in bathroom stalls
Chasing highs that break the fall

[Pre-Chorus]
Still feel on top of the world

[Hook]
ooo-ehh, ooo-ehh, riptide-ayy
ooo-ehh, ooo-ehh, riptide-ayy

[Chorus]
Like I’m walking on white sand
And the water looks so kind
So I dive in, head and hands
But it chills me to the spine

[Main Hook]
Losing sight of the shoreline
Treading water to survive
I’m about to lose my life
‘Cause I’m caught in the riptide

[Verse 3]
Then came nights with no more light
Plumes of white in darkened rooms
Needles in the quiet fight
Sealing shadows to my doom
Light it up, bodies shaking
Shoot it up, future breaking

[Pre-Chorus]
I’m on the edge of the world

[Hook]
ooo-ehh, ooo-ehh, riptide-ayy
ooo-ehh, ooo-ehh, riptide-ayy

[Bridge]
By the water, walls came down
First time I could speak my heart
Little boy lost his ground
When his family fell apart
Big brother gone, abuse and lies
Divorce that burned through all my skies

[Final Hook]
I was sinking, I was fading
Nothing left to hold on to
Then I reached for something steady
And it pulled me back to you

[Transition]
Now I’m standing in the sun
With a love that pulled me through
All that pain became the waves
That carried me to you

[Final Chorus]
Now I’m walking on white sand
And the water feels so nice
So I dive in, head and hands
And it warms me deep inside

[Outro]
ooo-ehh, ooo-ehh, riptide-ayy
ooo-ehh, ooo-ehh, riptide-ayy

Treading water to survive

ooo-ehh, ooo-ehh, riptide-ayy

I was caught in the riptide

ooo-ehh, ooo-ehh, riptide-ayy

But with you, I’m alive 

ooo-ehh, ooo-ehh, riptide-ayy

NORTHERN LIGHTS by Nova J

[Verse 1]
I saw the Northern Lights last night
Slicing the sky like birds in flight
The sun goes down, the shine departs
Half a year of endless dark
If you were here, I wouldn’t complain,
But I walk alone on this frozen lane.

[Pre-Chorus]
Through the cold, through the unknown,
This empty town don’t feel like home.
Your eyes were bright, steady, and true,
Now all I see is the dark without you.
(Oooooh oooooh)

[Chorus]
Just us two was all I knew
Now I’m still here, but half of me’s you
Win or lose, I can’t undo
The life we had, just me and you
(Oooooh oooooh)

[INSTRUMENTAL]
(Northern Lights… Northern Lights…)
Oooooh ooooh 
(Northern Lights… Northern Lights…)
Hmmmm

(Northern Lights… Northern Lights…)
Oooooh ooooh 
(Northern Lights… Northern Lights…)
Hmmmm

[Verse 2]
I’ve seen mountains split in two
But nothing broke me like losing you.
The earth can shake, the sky can fall
Saying goodbye’s the hardest blow of all
When sorrow calls, I can’t confide
I only whisper to the other side

[Pre-Chorus]
Through the fire, through the unknown
I stumble on, but I’m alone
Your hand once held me, your love the flame
Now I cry and call your name (mmm)

[Chorus]
Just us two, our time was true
But night keeps falling, I can’t break through
Win or lose, I’m bound to you
Just us two, without you

[INSTRUMENTAL]
(Northern Lights… Northern Lights…)
Oooooh ooooh 
(Northern Lights… Northern Lights…)

(Northern Lights… Northern Lights…)
Oooooh ooooh 
(Northern Lights… Northern Lights…)

[Bridge]
The colors rise where the shadows go
Green and violet, the heavens glow
I search the stars for a sign of your face
A fleeting spark in the vast of space

[Outro]
(Northern Lights… Northern Lights…)
Oooooh ooooh 
(Northern Lights… Northern Lights…)
Hmmmm

Through the cold, through the unknown,
This empty house don’t feel like home.
Your eyes were bright, steady, and true,
Now all I see is the dark without you.

(Northern Lights… Northern Lights…)
Oooooh ooooh 
(Northern Lights… Northern Lights…)
Hmmmm

(Northern Lights… Northern Lights…)
Oooooh ooooh 
(Northern Lights… Northern Lights…)

Just us two, our time was true
But night keeps falling, I can’t break through
Win or lose, I’m bound to you
Just us two, without you

(Northern Lights… Northern Lights…)
Oooooh ooooh 
(Northern Lights… Northern Lights…)
Hmmmm
(Northern Lights… Northern Lights…)

Just us two, without you

(Northern Lights… Northern Lights…)
Oooooh ooooh 
(Northern Lights… Northern Lights…)
Hmmmm
(Northern Lights… Northern Lights…)

Just us two, without you

UNHOLY MARY by Nova J

[Spoken Intro]
I’ll give you until the count of five.
Then I do it.
5… 4… 3… 2… 1…

[Verse 1]
You cry wolf in the courthouse, you cry wolf in the pews
Every man who gets close leaves branded, accused
Unholy Mary, queen of shadows and schemes
You built your religion on your children’s screams

[Pre-Chorus]
Every story you spin gets heavier still
Like snow piling high on that house on the hill
(Unholy Mary… what happened to you?)

[Verse 2]
You lock all the windows, you deadbolt the door
Homeschool their silence, they don’t dream anymore
You search for new labels, new ways to get paid
But the mirror reflects every debt you’ve made

[Pre-Chorus]
Every promise you broke turned colder with time
Your letters to God just excuses in rhyme
(Unholy Mary… what happened to you?)

[Chorus]
Unholy Mary, where do you hide?
(Unholy Mary… where do you hide?)
Your children are shadows, they stand by your side
(Unholy Mary…)
The mirror won’t answer, it just looks right through
 (Unholy Mary… what happened to you?)
Unholy Mary, what happened to you?
(Unholy Mary… what happened to you?!)

[Bridge]
Vanity binds you, your mercy decays
Loneliness lingers, you’re lost in the maze
Your children bear burdens they never should know
You pray for redemption, but the mercy won’t show

[Outro]
Snow falling steady on your backyard gate
The candles burn out, but you’re still awake
It’s your fate. Oh Mary. It’s your fate.
Your fate. Your fate.

[Instrumental Close]
