The Gentle Whisper

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.

“RUPTURED” has a lot of meaning to me and it was a big moment in my life, a difficult time, where I had to overcome a career ending injury in a sport I loved playing (Football). This song is a Journey how I dealt with the devastation and how I overcome and used my recovery to discover music and it’s how I started my music career. I took a negative and turned into a positive and That’s why you should never give up! 💪🏻 I hope you feel my pain, my will and Determination in my lyrics ✍️ please enjoy ☺️ 🎶 

Lyrics, 

[verse1] 

Ooh-oooh-ooooh! Ruptured! 

I was Running the field, chasing the rush, life  was in full swing,
Pushing the pace, no hint of the shock,
Something inside me ruptured, ooh there was nothing I could do! [(Na na-na-na)]
So quick, so sudden, no time to pre-ee-pare!  [(Da-da-da)]
My livelihood in the dirt, left in utter devastation



[Pre-Chorus] 

Ooo-oooh, Oh! Ruptured, La La La La
Two threads torn, so quick and so suddenly [(Ooh oh oh)]
No time to brace, my life flipped viciously [(La la la)]

[Chorus] 

Yeah! Ruptured, not bro-o-oken [(Aah ah ahh)]
My will stays defiant, Hey! [(Ooh oh oh)]
One injury sparked a brand new life
Ruptured, I prevail through the strife [(Na na-na-na)]

[Verse 2] 

I was fractured, my life was ripped from me
Challenging times, so doubtful and bleak
Pushed the ball forward, overdid it every play
Wish I’d slowed down, but who could predict the day
Buried in cruel anguish, no way to break away [(Da-da-da)]

[Pre-Chorus] 
Ooo-oooh, Oh! Ruptured, La La La La
Two threads torn, so quick and so suddenly [(Ooh oh oh)]
No time to brace, my life flipped viciously [(La la la)]

[Chorus]

Yeah! I’m Ruptured, not bro-o-oken [(Aah ah ahh)]
My will stays defiant, Hey! [(Ooh oh oh)]
One injury sparked a brand new life
Ruptured, I prevail through the strife [(Na na-na-na)]

[Bridge]
I didn’t break or whine, I fought to recove-e-er [(Come on!)]
It wasn’t meant to be, those days are over [(Hey-yeah!)]
Then a song hit my he-e-ead, it sprung me to life
Pen and paper, my new friend, cut through the knife
I perked myself up, turned disaster to resplendent gain
That’s as glorious as it gets, I broke the chain [(Na na-na-na)]
Songs that will be sung through the years, my voice resolute and bold
From that dark place, I vanquished despair, found my story to be told [(La la la)]

[Final Chorus]

Yeah! Ruptured, not bro-o-oken [(Aah ah ahh)]
My will stays defiant, Hey! [(Ooh oh oh)]
One injury sparked a brand new life
Ruptured, I prevail through the strife [(Na na-na-na)]

[Outro] 

I’m fractured, torn but I stood tall despite the setback [(Hey!)]
I’m ruptured, not broken, resolute to fight ba-a-ack [(Da-da-da)]
I turned my life around, rebuilt through torment and tears
From the loss of the field to songs sung through the years [(Na na-na-na)]
[(Aah ah ahh, Ooh oh oh, La la la)]

[End]

RUPTURED

Chemicals by Nova J

[Verse 1]
We’re sitting in a circle on a basement floor
Sharing bottles, chasing something we can’t name anymore
The lawyer’s still in his tie, but he’s losing his home
Dealer’s got the power now, and he won’t let it go

[Pre-Chorus]
He looks so calm with the smoke around his head
Like he found peace, but I know his dreams are dead

[Chorus]
And he keeps talking ‘bout the chemicals
Like they’re medicine, like they’re saving him
But I can see the writing on the wall
It’s critical, it’s pitiful
The way we fall for chemicals

[Verse 2]
I took a ride on a ship too far from land
Bought my comfort in a hallway with a shaky hand
Flashing lights and bodies pressing, but I felt the sea
Rising in my bloodstream, dragging under me

[Pre-Chorus]
I woke up in a cabin, faces I don’t know
The story never changes, just the cast in the show

[Chorus]
And I keep talking ‘bout the chemicals
Like they’re medicine, like they’re healing me
But it’s a carousel I can’t get off
It’s cynical, it’s biblical
The way I pray to chemicals

[Bridge]
I watched a friend turn blue on a hotel floor
Two strangers slipped away before they called for help
I swore I’d never be the one to meet that fate
But here I am, still bargaining with chemicals again

[Final Chorus]
And we keep talking ‘bout the chemicals
Like they’re medicine, like they’re heaven-sent
But the spiral always feels unstoppable
It’s beautiful, it’s terrible
The way we worship chemicals
