A toxic relationship told from the narrative perspective of being lost on a deserted Island.

Lyrics:

Salt burns my lips to silence,
The sun with rage and violence.
The sky bleeds red
With words left unsaid.
 
Captain, you swore you'd never let go.
You vowed that we’d sail through sun and shadow.
I’m left on this shore with my heart so hollow
And I am alone,
Forever alone.

Hunger gnaws my bones
thirst cracks my skin
I drift between dreams
and darkness closing in

Captain, you promised that I’d never drown,
But this island just smiles as it pulls me down.
I trace in the sand all the maps that you drew,
But tides take the lines 
And any hope too.

Beyond the horizon, I thought I saw sails,
A promise of rescue, but faith always fails.
The waters know driftwood and battles and wars,
The sea keeps its secrets, the wind tells me yours.

Captain, you promised that I’d never starve,
But the sun burns my skin, with my lips turning hard.
I trace in the sand the maps that you drew,
But the waves wash away
the memory of you.

My soul cracks with whispers, horizon a blur,
A shadow that lingers, while you sail with her.
I’m lost to the silence, the sun, and the cold,
Captain, you left me, and now I let go.

The Island

Promising

I don’t think I’ve ever cried this much while making a song. And knowing the story it’s built on? That made it even harder.
See if you can make it to the end without feeling anything.

Earthgirl is about a woman who flees to a small town, carrying the unbearable weight of a past she can’t speak aloud. To outsiders, she seems strange—always tense, private, off-kilter. But what they’re seeing is alienation—an emotional exile she’s built around herself to survive. Underneath it all, she’s running from a relationship marked by stalking, rape, and attempted murder, and the heartbreak of secretly terminating a pregnancy to save her own life and future —on the night of a full moon.

Lyrics:

You bash at the piñata of my mind,
To get the goodies deep inside.
The truth was always hard to find.
considering I always lied.

I'm not an Earthgirl.
I'm not an Earthgirl.
I'm not a nice girl.

I dry my laundry in the rain.
I look away to hide my stain.
You say that everyone's the same.
But no one understands my pain.

They say I came from sky and flame.
That I arrived without a name.
I spoke in rhymes, out of tune.
And wept beneath a cruel moon.

I'm not an Earthgirl.
I'm not an Earthgirl.
An outta this world girl.

The gravity bends my mind,
and the past I try to hide.
My shoes are stitched with luck and wine.
Still I walk, and try to fly.

My brains a box of steel,
It hums to keep me sealed.
I dream in static, sharp and raw,
and my skin starts to crawl.

I'm not an Earthgirl.
I'm not an Earthgirl.

They say I crashed from sky and shame.
A spark that never learned her name.
I blink too slow, I breathe too soon.
I broke my heart beneath the moon.

And Earth is loud and it shakes my bones, and moves too slow.
But I grow limbs that bend.
And I’m not breaking. 
Not again.

I’m not an Earthgirl.
Still not an Earthgirl.
Still not an Earthgirl.

Demo...better use Headphones... I came up with the story and wrote the lyrics
H. Stytz :  comp, guitars, leadvocals,arrangement
P.Harriman: bass , back.vocals ,add. arrangement
Pee Gee:      lyrics

When love stepped into my life it was like walking on air
I almost touched the sky.. it felt so good up there
Like an angel in high spirits on top of a cloud
It was a question of time when I would kiss the ground
Do you remember what you told me somewhere way back when
That we would go together through thick and thin
Like the flow of the water at the turn of the tide
I´m beginning to worry if you´re still on my side
Are you still on my side...on my side ?
Do you remember what you told me somewhere way back when
That we would go together through thick and thin
Do you remember what you promised  somewhere way back when
Baby, are you honest when your lips touch my skin
Like the flow of the water at the turn of the tide
I´m beginning to worry if you´re still on my side
Are you still on my side.......?  
Like the flow of the water at the turn of the tide
I´m beginning to worry if you´re still on my side
Are you still on my side....?

Are You Still On My Side     H.Stytz,P.Harriman

Bad day at work Boss is going mad 
Sweat on my brow Ain't nothing to add 
Working on my own 
Just a lonesome lad 
Keeps hiring folk But they’re all so bad  

Shut it

BEAUTIFUL PLACE by Nova J

I’m in a beautiful place
Sitting next to your beautiful face
Left the city lights far away
In the woods where the wild things play

All of this beauty surrounds me
And yet inspiration confounds me
Why do I feel so dead inside?
What will it take to bring me back to life?

How much luxury do I need?
To satisfy this endless greed?
Will I ever feel something at all?
Or did I let that ability fall?

(Feel… feel… feel…)
(Have I lost it?)
(Feel… feel… feel…)

The wind won’t answer
The sky won’t speak
I whisper to the trees
But they just creak

What will it take to make me feel something?
Will I ever feel anything at all?
Or has a darkness taken hold
That beauty can’t dissolve?

This place is beautiful
But I am not
I left something behind
Or maybe… I forgot

BEAUTIFUL PLACE

I switch to night mode before I speak
Tones muted, thoughts trimmed for sleep
I keep the volume just below confession
You text, “you up?”
I was.
Just not for talking.

My jacket’s on the chair
Not hung, not tossed
Folded like I plan to stay
But not too long

You touched my collar
I checked my tone

Night mode
Means: don’t ask
Night mode
Means: don’t stay
Night mode all day.

I look clean in grayscale
I sound better at delay

This is where the color drops
Where space shines louder than words
Where soft things get edited out
“That's cool, that's cold, no doubt.”

I washed my hands before the lie
Let the water run longer than I need
You caught the way I dried them slow
Like regret lives in every crease

You text,
“I know you like this”
I reply,
“I don’t dislike it”
Which is the closest I come to wanting

Night mode
Fades the edges
Night mode
Saves the scene
Night mode dims my screen

You kissed like you meant to remember
I left like I meant to repeat

My name looked strange in your text thread
Too soft against your brighter contacts
I almost replied with something warm
But opted for spacing

I rehearse my exits
While you sleep
I’ve left more rooms
Than I’ve ever entered
But I fold the sheets
Before I leave

Night mode
What I switch to
When I almost
Mean it

Night mode
Where I keep
Everything
I don’t
Deserve

Night Mode

Ho incontrato una vecchia signora

Ho incontrato una vecchia signora
Con i guanti la sciarpa e il cappello
Mi diceva che sono un amore
Ma suo figlio è molto più bello

Occhi neri e il sorriso smagliante
Una statura molto imponente
Suo figlio una nave viaggiante
Nel cuore e nella sua mente

Ha un viso grazioso che incanta
È una donna di bella presenza
Ma lei sottovoce mi dice
Sono stanca e non sono felice

Tiene in braccio un gran mazzo di fiori
Lo accarezza con timide mani
Come una mamma che tiene suo figlio
Ma quei fiori son crisantemi

Son vent’anni e il mese era maggio
Son vent’anni che ormai io non dormo
È partito per un lungo viaggio
Un viaggio lungo e senza ritorno

Ho incontrato una vecchia signora
Con i guanti la sciarpa e il cappello
Mi diceva che sono un amore
Ma suo figlio era molto più bello

Ho incontrato una vecchia signora

INSOMNIA by NOVA J

(Oooh oooh Sleep)
You can’t wake up from

Why’s my mind playing tricks on me tonight?
Got heavy eyes but I’m wide awake and I
Just wanna sleep, just wanna stop
This anxiety I’ve got.
I’m overthinking. (Yeah) I’m overthinking.

About you,
About us,
About my stupid luck—
I’m still (awake)
Still (awake)
Still (awake)
Still (awake)
Still (awake)
Still (still)
Awake 

Insomnia
Wish I had some
Marijuana 
Can’t stop replaying all the
Drama
In my head I’ve got
Insomnia
Oh, Insomnia
Feel like screaming
But I just lie
Daydreaming
Eyes wide open
Heart still beating
I’ve got…
Insomnia

Oooh oooh
Oooh oooh

Past mistakes and future fears,
Playing loud between my ears.
Scroll my phone, no end in sight,
It’s 3AM and now it’s 5—
Oh God, I’m dreading the sunlight

Close my eyes,
But then I see
All that terrifies 
In front of me.
I’m still (awake)
Still (awake)
Still (awake)
Still (awake)
Still (still)
Awake

Insomnia
Wish I had some
Marijuana
Can’t stop replaying all the
Drama
In my head I’ve got
Insomnia
Oh, Insomnia
Someone please
Put me to sleep,
Or maybe just
Some ketamine—
Knock me out
Or set me free
From
Insomnia
Insomnia…
Insomnia…
insomnia
Insomnia…
Insomnia…
(insomnia)
Insomnia…
Insomnia…
(insomnia)
Insomnia…
Insomnia…

INSOMNIA

Hear the pipes they wail and soar
A song of courage evermore
The past may fade but I restore
A legacy worth fighting for
Raise the banner let it fly
Under the saltire’s endless sky
Virtue my honour never die
A proud Scotsman hear my reply

Virtue mine honour
