Splinter 
lyrics by McTown 
music by Kate & Gm7 

VERSE 1 
I'm just a splinter on the family tree 
Daddy heard I was coming 
So he had to leave 
They say he headed south for some kinda job 
And I guess he stayed for something 
But who cares? 
I'm not God. 

CHORUS 
yea, mama lasted as long as granny'd let her 
Then the state said they could do it better 
Put me in a home where I wouldn't be alone 
And God knows...I wasn't 
God knows I wasn't alone 
God knows....God knows 

VERSE 2 
I was a learner in the family ways 
Learned to fake behaving 
Devil knows I prayed 
I skipped school easy but learned all my lessons 
Preacher tried to save me 
But said God 
had a Son 

CHORUS 
yea, mama lasted as long as granny'd let her 
Then the state said they could do it better 
Put me in a home where I wouldn't be alone 
And God knows...I wasn't 
God knows I wasn't alone 
God knows....God knows 

BRIDGE 
Well, I learned about love and about hate 
Forgiveness and hope 
Some of that had to wait 
I'm just a splinter, a splinter 

OUTRO 
I'm just a splinter on the family tree 
but God knows 
God knows....God knows

My friend, indie songwriter/lyricist Edwin H. Balder, sent me these lyrics as a Christmas gift late last year. He encouraged me as I was recovering from a major health blow & surgery. Now it is Ed's turn. He's having some health struggles yet continues to write. We want to encourage him. 12 Below and I hoped to surprise him with music set to his lyrics. 

Ed, we are all rooting for you--prayers, positive vibes, and healing music your way!! Thank you for inspiring so many of us. @edwin-balder

Noxantes
Limba- Guitar, Vocals
L. Davis- Guitar, Bass, Percussion, Vocals

Noxantes, are an Alternative Rock duo, our creative energy starts with lyrics/themes that begin the inspiration of each track. We both have always been drawn to songs with strong or interesting lyrics and meaning, since a young age those songs have gotten the main songwriter through life and kept everything together in the not very stable conditions he was brought into. The lyrics and feelings conveyed gave the songwriter something solid to hold onto. 

 In our songs they come from our personal experiences and observations; from there, we create the musical backdrop and hope we get the emotions across. We’ve found some stability through each other and have tried to keep it. Always doing what feels right and pushing the boundaries of whats considered correct. Lots of things have not worked out or been easy, at the end it will be the creativity that keeps us going and has felt stable.
