A TREASURE AND A HANDFUL by NOVA J

I’ll never forget when we met
Told you not to take me seriously
Isn’t that sad?
Now here we are, we’ve come so far
Still together after all this time
And I’m so glad

I had a lot of healing to do
I was in pieces, you were the glue

You saw what nobody else could see
Beyond my broken personality
You gave me all your love for free
You saw the hidden treasure in me

I’m a treasure and a handful
Poison pleasure, it was painful
But you never called me shameful
You’re a treasure and a handful

High beams in a taxi cab
Scanning sidewalks for someone to grab
Me and a stranger sharing a room
Fighting off the impending doom
But you found me there
No judgment, just care

All the others held a grudge
But you never held back love

You saw what nobody else could see
Beyond my broken personality
You gave me all your love for free
You saw the hidden treasure in me

I’m a treasure and a handful
Poison pleasure, it was painful
But you never called me shameful
You’re a treasure and a handful

Oh, the world is breaking, creating
Oh, the tides are rising, cascading
Oh, the earth is shaking, rearranging
But through it all, you’re the one I call

Helping break my fall
Standing strong and tall

You saw what nobody else could see
Beyond my broken personality
You gave me all your love for free
You saw the hidden treasure in me

I’m a treasure and a handful
Poison pleasure, it was painful
But you never called me shameful
You’re a treasure and a handful

A TREASURE AND A HANDFUL

Dedicated to an unforgettable purple tulip.

Unforgettable You

In Your Shadow, I Shine



[Verse 1]
The night lays heavy on my skin,
a quiet room where I begin.
Your breath’s a thread that pulls me near,
a fragile truth I start to hear.

[Pre-Chorus 1]
And though the silence hides my name,
I feel a spark inside the flame…

[Chorus]
In your shadow, I shine,
like a flame that was waiting for night.
Every whisper, a sacred design,
turning all of my darkness to light.

[Verse 2]
Your touch is softer than the air,
a fleeting warmth that keeps me there.
The stillness holds what words can’t show,
in secret places only we know.

[Pre-Chorus 2]
And though the dark would have me blind,
your presence writes the light I find…

[Chorus]
In your shadow, I shine,
like a flame that was waiting for night.
Every whisper, a sacred design,
turning all of my darkness to light.

[Bridge] (sanft beginnend, dann öffnend)
I was quiet, I was small,
hiding underneath it all.
But your shadow called my name,
and I rose inside the flame…

[Final Chorus] (mit voller Stimme, hymnisch)
In your shadow, I shine,
like a flame that was waiting for night.
Every whisper, a sacred design,
turning all of my darkness to light.
Yes, in your shadow, I shine…
I shine… I shine.

In Your Shadow, I Shine

Bubbling in my skin I feel the pain bleeding out
Cries for my sisters that are buried underground
And I still hear their sounds, sounds of their voice
But the fear that they were living never had no choice
Generational trauma, la mujer asesinada
Gotta protect your mama, gotta connect each other
This the light at the end of the tunnel
Getting you out of the struggle
When the world is falling down I get you out of the rubble
(Huh)

[Chorus]
Keep your head up queen
(Huh)
Never forget your dreams
(Nah, huh)
Keep your head up queen
(Nah)
Never forget your, never forget that you came from a woman that went through some pain
I know that you're hurting cause I'm feeling the same
And this is not the end, there will be some brighter days
Keep your head up queen, know that you are not to blame 
[Chorus]                                                                                                                     

We were leaders once,
Fire in our hands.
Healing, knowledge,
Power in demand.

Then they stole it,
Burned our names.
Called us witches,
Drowned in shame.

Still today—
Shut us up,
Pay us less,
Push us down,
Call us prey.
But we won’t fade away.   Told to be pretty,  But never too smart.  Quiet your voice,  Don’t speak from the heart.
Never complain, Never defy.  Be a good daughter, Be a good wife.
Hide your anger,  Swallow your needs.  Dress up your pain,  And call it “pleased.”
Dress sexy—you're a slut.  Don’t dress up—you’re a prude.  No matter what you do,  You're always wrong.

 [Chorus]
Keep your head up queen
(Huh)
Never forget your dreams
(Nah, huh)
Keep your head up queen
(Nah)
Never forget your, never forget that you came from a woman that went through some pain
I know that you're hurting cause I'm feeling the same
And this is not the end, there will be some brighter days
Keep your head up queen, know that you are not to blame 
[Chorus]                                                                                                                         

I scroll and see it—
Mocking lines.
Too loud, too soft,
Step out of line.

Too ambitious,
Too much fire.
Too emotional,
Called a liar.

Every post—
Same old game.
Every word—
Our worth in chains.  We fight online,
Weapons in words.
Forget the system,
Forget what we’ve learned.  Hey, no more hiding.
No more holding it in.
Say your truth, even when it scares you.
I see your pain, and you don’t have to carry it alone.
Teach your daughters to fight,
teach your sons to respect.
We can tear down the old shit,
we can build something better.
Now is our time — and you, yes you, are the one.
Keep going. Keep rising. You’ve got this. 

{Chorus]
Keep your head up queen
(Huh)
Never forget your dreams
(Nah, huh)
Keep your head up queen
(Nah)
Never forget your, never forget that you came from a woman that went through some pain
I know that you're hurting cause I'm feeling the same
And this is not the end, there will be some brighter days
Keep your head up queen, know that you are not to blame 
[Chorus]

Queen

Woke up tangled in these sheets again, your laying next to me, 
I watch every breath you breathe 
Memories like whiskey burning slow, emotions I can't forget.  
I told myself I'd walk away, leave the fire where it lay,  
But your voice creeps in like midnight rain, pulling me back to that day


I'm fighting wars inside my head, losing ground with every word unsaid,  
Heart's a prisoner in this endless game, baby, baby, im calling out your name.

  
Oh, tears they surely flow, your arms, they won't let me go,  
Drowning in the waves of what we used to know.  
I'm breaking, shaking, trying to find my way,  
But your hold's like thunderclouds, stealing light from the day.  
Heart is broken, echoing through my soul,  
Tell me how to heal when I'm losing control.
 

Late nights staring at the ceiling cracks, your laughter fades but never dies,  
I built these walls to keep you out, but they crumble with your alibis.  
Promised I'd be stronger now, turn the page and take a bow,  
Yet here I am, replaying scenes, caught in what we could've been.

 
I'm chasing storms that never end, bending rules I can't defend,  
Soul's a battlefield, scarred and torn, wishing I was never born.

 
Oh, tears they surely flow, your arms, they won't let me go,  
Drowning in the waves of what we used to know.  
I'm breaking, shaking, trying to find my way,  
But your hold's like thunderclouds, stealing light from the day.  
Heart is broken, echoing through my soul,  
Tell me how to heal when I'm losing control.

  
Maybe one day I'll rise above, learn to trust and find real love,  
No more chains, no more lies, just me under clearer blue skies.  
But tonight, I'm still here, whispering my fears into the mirror,  
Hoping dawn will set me free, from this shattered symphony.

 
Oh, tears they surely flow (flow), your arms, they won't let me go (let me go),  
Drowning in the waves (in the waves) of what we used to know.  
I'm breaking, shaking (shaking), trying to find my way (find my way),  
But your hold's like thunderclouds stealing light from the day.  
Heart is broken, echoing through my soul (through my soul),  
I'll learn to heal, yeah, and let you go, I'll (let you go), I will (let you go)



Tell Me How To Heal

Song of Time and Transformation

The Song of Time and Transformation is a ritual chant of the Garumani, sung in harmony with the flowing waters of Narvelar — the Twin Currents of Shadow and Light.
It weaves together the ancient rhythm of Sanmor (Silence), Larin (River), Thilor (Light), and Viloth (Spirit), reminding the wanderer that life is not a straight path, but a cycle of echoes.

Each verse speaks of change: shadows becoming light, endings returning as beginnings, rivers flowing endlessly into the Ocean of Spirit (Viloth’larin). The refrain repeats the four eternal presences:

“Oto cisza, oto rzeka,
Oto światło, oto duch.”

— “Behold silence, behold the river,
Behold the light, behold the spirit.”

The song is both simple and profound. Its rhythm is steady, like the heartbeat of water. It is meant to be sung softly, allowing the voice to merge with the rippling reflections of light and shadow.

The Song of Time and Transformation is not only music — it is meditation, a bridge between the inner self and the eternal river of existence.

Song of Time – Narvelar

Shadow flows, and light returns,
The river dreams in stones of weight.
The spirit of change is dancing in water,
And silence is breathing in the deep.


Sanmor lo, Larin lo,
Thilor lo, Viloth lo.
“Behold silence, behold the river,
Behold the light, behold the spirit.”


Light is guiding, shadow is shelter,
Two currents meeting within the song.
Stars of Shanoril flicker on the surface,
And the stones of Moril keep the memory.


Sanmor lo, Larin lo,
Thilor lo, Viloth lo.
“Behold silence, behold the river,
Behold the light, behold the spirit.”


Maroth the butterfly hovers above,
Its wings are singing of change.
What has been is always returning,
What will come is already breathing.


Sanmor lo, Larin lo,
Thilor lo, Viloth lo.
“Behold silence, behold the river,
Behold the light, behold the spirit.”

Coda

Narvelar flows with twin voices,
Shadow and light entwined as one current.
Whoever gazes into its waters gazes into their soul,
And the spirit answers within silence.

The clock ticks loud - in a quiet room

Rise

When we first started writing songs together we thought we’d keep it simple but found the allure of a full band sound too tempting to ignore. This song, about the destructive patterns we get locked into, is us fulfilling that original intention - just acoustic guitar, violin and vocals. The riff that underpins the song could have gone another way….that’ll be the next release.
