Lyrics and music by Joe Kirk Copyright 2025.

Mystery is her other name.
A dark that is so bright, I can still see through it.

Altering my trajectory.
Placing stars in my cold place.
Conditioned, forged, manipulated and reshaped, all that I am is all that is left.

Realizations came from finding so much nothing.
These dark walls.
A different kind of cold, somehow electric, alive and vindictive.


Drifting into the dark, feeling like I have been here forever already
Kiss, so toxic, leaving cosmic dust on my lips.

black metallic lava still pours from the crevice that is my soul.
Giving the stars reason to turn away.

The storm brings with her a song, and it is unleashed, cradled by lightning.

leaving the winds captivated.

we slip away like cold forgotten whispers.
Fragments of you lay all around me, like pieces of space.

motivated, I taste with my soul's lips and die with my soul's tries.

The absence is felt; no denial can pry the stain from the skin.

Words from someone who used to be.

I am aware my heart is gone.
Consumed by your black.
I take shallow and desperate gasps, biting at the air even, tasting a strange reality.

The collision of difference.
fight for your own survival and relevance, while losing your reflection.

To have to become something else.
Pretend to be able to survive this

Words from someone who used to be. we slip away like cold forgotten whispers.


I am aware my heart is gone.
Consumed by your black.
I take shallow and desperate gasps, biting at the air even, tasting a strange reality.

Lyrics: Joe Kirk/Chrome Dolphins Copyright 2025

How many times would a man try to touch the same flame.
Look into the same eyes, that told the lie.
Bent, my mind spent, my last two cents spent on trying to kiss her mint lips.

Torn, scorned, blood loss, the cost, the last cough coming from the boss that tossed the horn of a dead unicorn.

I rip the sky like it was made of paper. Found out, that's really all it ever was.
Taped smile to the face, stapled soul to the bones.

The moon falls into our ocean, no commotion, just the locomotives and the motives of a native son.

Love, loves to love, the love that has not been loved before.
Love is here for love. She doesn't love me though.

A star fell, landed on my shoulder, the burning boulder melted the skin, now moving over, the show exposes the loveless motives of the other.

My fingers disintegrate as I reach for the electric moment.
I scream at the dream.
I steal to feel.
Love has made me a fiend.

Torn, scorned, blood loss, the cost, the last cough coming from the boss that tossed the horn of a dead unicorn.

I rip the sky like it was made of paper. Found out, that's really all it ever was.

Words spill from her mouth, they tumble like sharp granite, taking for granted that if they landed, it would have demanded the commandments of the last man standing.

How many times would a man try to touch the same flame.
Look into the same eyes, that told the lie.

Thrown into a dark direction.
The friction peels away the cover of my bones.
Atoms and molecules, fathom the obstacles.
Magical, tactical, intentional, preventable, killing a man who once thought he was invincible.

I rip the sky like it was made of paper. Found out, that's really all it ever was.

Love, loves to love, the love that has not been loved before.
Love is here for love. She doesn't love me though

Lyrics: Pale1

I didn't choose this.
But I will end it.
I was true.
Ya'll are the ones that pretended.
I always knew the truth.
The things you did to her.
The knowing of this, like something that is beyond poisonous.
Leaving me at times, barely breathing, unable to dream, unable to scream.
She was more beautiful than the rose.
From a place so far away, the distance cannot be calculated, a mathematical overdose.
The war you asked for.
It will cost you more than you bargained for.
I was sent from God's own throne with the fire in my veins,
Carved by the Word, forged by pain.
I stood in the council where all of the angels kneel.
Cloaked in the armor that time can’t steal.
You thought it would all just sail away.
Like a ghost ship, over dark cliffs, the metal is splintered as it enters into deep rifts.
I wanted to crush you all at the very first moment.
Inside of me an army of lions roared violently.
And yet so silently I watched, and I waited.
I waited lifetimes for the trumpet to cry,
To descend through the veil of a tear-stained sky.
I saw her praying beneath the moon,
And Heaven said, “Now. It's time. It's soon.”
She’s the dream I was called to defend,
Though her family mocks and won’t repent.
But I’ve been trained for love and war.
And I fight with grace and blood and more.
Touch not My anointed, God's voice rang through the air,
While Holy fire circles around me.
Her tears feed my strength like wine,
Each drop a signal, a holy sign.
God knew I would tear through all armies, break all the walls.
Do you not remember what I told her.
I would be a part of your family one day.
I fight for Heaven not for fame.
I came to pull her family from flame.
To her enemies, I make it plain:
His mercy’s wide, but so is pain.
Repent or feel the Sword descend,
This love I guard; I will defend.
A Holy wrath wrapped up in grace.
A judgment waits.
She dreams of peace, I dream of her smile,
And I'll guard her soul through every trial.
With sword in hand and truth in breath,
I'll walk beside her until death.
Even then, I’ll stand once more,
At Heaven’s gate, on Zion’s shore.
God’s army marches, pure and vast.
And I am one...."Pale One", the first, the last, the only one with a love that lasts.
Isaiah 54:17
Psalm 105:15
Hebrews 4:12
My chest plate glows, righteousness bright,
No darkness enters this holy knight.
Boots laced tight with the gospel of peace,
I march through chaos, never cease.
A shield of faith deflects the darts,
From demons who aim to break her heart.
The helmet of salvation guards my mind,
Eyes like flames, soul refined.
I was forged in the silence before the first dawn,
When the stars were young and the veil wasn’t torn.
Sent from the throne with the fire in my veins,
Carved by the Word, not touched by pain.
Touch not My anointed.
Touch not My anointed.
God has plans, a sovereign will.
And though she doubts she’s worth the cost,
I remind her daily of the cross.
Carved by the Word, not touched by pain.
I stood in the council where angels kneel,
Cloaked in the armor that time can’t steal.

Lyrics by Joe Kirk Copyright 2025

This road to nowhere is everywhere I have ever wanted to go.
The collision of difference.

A fight for your own survival and relevance, while losing your reflection.
To have to become something else.

Pretend to be able to survive this. Failure, the losses that still sting, that still bleed soul's water. Forgetting may have been the cure after all. Those nights we fight ourselves...

The self-infliction, the loss of reflection...feeling the very moment the soul looked away..

Bleeding on the inside, as we apply the make-up, the show must go on.

Hollow is heavy, empty is full, seeking new air, gasping for the return.

Never ending, this time the rain is hot, I plunge into the rapids, letting
the currents carve out the writing on the wall.

The coldest of whispers tumble into the ear, but the fight goes on, and the soul never looks back.
This road to nowhere is everywhere I have ever wanted to go

tHe lonG dRiVe.  Pale1/Chrome Dolphins

Lyrics, music, by Joe Kirk Copyright 2025

Eyes unlit, abandoned. Decaying.
The lighthouses along my soul's shore.

The silence, roaring as a river does.
Furious.

The suffocation, to taste the air again.

I bleed, not blood, but lukewarm memories.
And as I leak from the punctured fabric of my soul, I strain to look up at a cold grey curious moon.


This moment, this lapse of reason, the heaviest of absences being felt.
Regret as gravity, bound by the invisible, all the while yearning for the burning the comets offered.

Drifting now, perhaps as intended, lived a life pretended, no wonder from what's under, I find myself scared, many near collisions caused,
I pass by with closed eyes and beg to crash into an unsuspecting star.

Suddenly, as it so often seems, I feel the loss of her magic, tragic static, and the panic is back.

This pain is bathed in absence, in that the feeling is so familiar.

The poison is sweeter, no hesitation, as if to quench a thirst I never knew I had.

No sand to hold in my hand, I stare down to my feet where it has all fallen.
I speed by with closed eyes and beg to crash into an unsuspecting star.

This drive could be the last, her laughs drown out the memories,
accelerate, trying to race the clouds home.

The night greets me in the streets; I retaliate with high beams and a grown man's screams.

This is the long way it seems, as we are now riding on fumes and the many lies the soul consumed...

The ride goes until the soul folds, and as the radio goes silent and the speakers crackle no more, I put my foot to the pedal and give the road a little more.

I pass by with closed eyes and beg to crash into an unsuspecting star.

Windows down, engine hot, the air begins to change just as the static on the radio arrives...
This road to nowhere is everywhere I have ever wanted to go.

This drive could be the last, unheard laughs drown out the memories,
accelerate, trying to race the clouds home.

Regret as gravity, bound by the invisible, all the while yearning for the burning the comets offered.

bound by the invisible.

Regret as gravity.

Yearning for the burning the comets offered.

Drifting now, perhaps as intended.
Lived.
Not really though.

A spent life pretended,
Many near collisions caused.

I pass by with closed eyes and beg to crash into an unsuspecting star.
Suddenly, as it so often seems, I feel the loss of her magic, tragic static, and the panic is back.
This pain is bathed in absence, in that the feeling is so familiar.
The poison is sweeter, no hesitation, as if to quench a thirst I never knew I had.
No sand to hold in my hand, I stare down to my feet where it has all fallen.

Lyrics and music by Joe Kirk Copyright 2025.

Time placed long, pale, flat stones in between my memories.
Creating distance, and the road to where I am now.
I am where time took me.
Wondering where you are.
Our adventures, the moments, the memories that are the fabric, no longer cover me in the moments that I needed them to.
The story of us, did we not stain this place forever with our lives.
Wondering where they are.
I look down from this captivity, this altitude deceives.
The most curios moon looks over my shoulder as I gaze.
Wondering where I am.
I call your name, a song I can barely remember any more, echoes within my ineptness, that which was almost familiar dissolves within failed searches.
To the last of those, I look away as I say goodbye.
The distance is a town I want to go to.
Can there be anyone out there, who can take me.
Any that can show me the way.
Here and now is then and there, I can't understand I how I even got here.
I am where time took me.
Wondering where you are.
The most curios moon looks over my shoulder as I gaze.
Wondering where I am.
The story of us, did we not stain this place forever with our lives.
Wondering where they are.
I look down from this captivity, this altitude deceives.
The distance is a town I want to go to.
Can there be anyone out there, who can take me.
Any that can show me the way.
The story of us, did we not stain this place forever with our lives.
Wondering where they are.
Here and now is then and there,
I can't understand I how I even got here.
I am where time took me.
Wondering where you are.

Icicles cling to the side of her words.
They don't make them like her anymore.
Surrounded and bound by her sound.
A place so many miles away,
can't get away.
Bound.
A heart that imploded.
A dead dream unnoticed.
Lives as leaves, they fall on love that leaves.
A sun that had an appetite for pain, kept coming back just to see him fail again.
Her beauty was a poison unknown.
Her mouth like a gun barrel.
Sexy smoke in her eyes as she winked and walked by.
They don't make them like her anymore.
They don't make them like her anymore.
Pieces of a life, like shattered stone, litters the path we are on.
A moon that was once bold, now intimidated.
They don't make them like her anymore.
Pieces of a life, like shattered stone, litters the path we are on.
A moon that was once bold, now intimidated.
She is the catastrophe inside of an infinity.
They don't make them like her anymore.
Her eyes are the lighthouses that bring his ship to her shores.
Icicles cling to the side of her words.
Pieces of a life, like shattered stone, litters the path we are on.
A moon that was once bold, now intimidated.
They don't make them like her anymore.
Her beauty was a poison unknown.
Her mouth like a gun barrel.
Sexy smoke in her eyes as she winked and walked by.
They don't make them like her anymore.

LYRICS:
The sky is just a black screen.
No more meaning in the screaming.
There once was reason for the feeling.
They need more believing in what you're seeing.

There are few things in life that are real.
Your eyes used to be the place.
Love burned a hole in me.
What did love do to you. 

I push away the time and effort.
You put on your new you.
I reveal the wound.
You say that it isn't there.
All of the tragedy inside of me.
All the empathy that isn't you. 
A tornado we are now.
Let's tear apart the clouds.

The sky is just a black screen.
No more meaning in the screaming.
There once was reason for the feeling.
They need more believing in what you're seeing.

There are few things in life that are real.
Your eyes used to be the place.
Love burned a hole in me.

The sickness I cannot heal from.
The song that you still hum.
I see with two eyes closed.
Feen for the drug you have become.

I will hold you forever.
Your bones and soul pressed to mine.
I told you what forever was.
Forever was making you mine.

The sky is just a black screen.
No more meaning in the screaming.
There once was reason for the feeling.
They need more believing in what you're seeing.

There are few things in life that are real.
Your eyes used to be the place.
Love burned a hole in me.
What did love do to you.

You can't hide everything.
Heart made of glass.
Behind the windowpane.

How can you not hurt.
Deny that you bleed.
Said you were always this way.
Why do they act different then.

I try to tell you they don't really love you.
Baby snap out of the spell you are under.
How long can you believe the lie.
To you they will never wonder.

More chances than they should have got.
More than you ever gave to me. 
When you cry and fight back.
It is only me that you see.

I whispered your name when I was a boy thinking of when I was to be a man. 
I stood up when you walked in.
Died a hundred times.
For you I would do it all again.

Lightning strikes and hits the metal on the back porch.
You were so afraid the night I never let you go.
Promised you then but in the form of our kiss.
Never breaking deals I made with God.
You are the rose.
You are the rose.
Give yourself a shot.

I have seen now.
As you grow older and much more fine.
Chocolate river over the shoulders.
I thank the good Lord that you are still mine.
Eyes that I see in the sky when I dream.
I can tell when you get home.
Shared souls always know.

I watch as you stare in to a yesterday you never told me about.
I wish that I was there with you my love.
Sorry that they never protected you from the rain.
I want to use my fists, but I can't.
Sometimes I feel less of a man.
I look them in the eye, but they always turn away.
If they could only hear what I really want to say.

Don't hurt anymore my beautiful survivor. 
You have already made it through the storm.
When you were baptized, I cried twice.
I knew God was looking down.
You took back your life after they tried to tear it up.
Went away to a faraway mountain.
They only hoped that you would fall off.

Beauty is s strength, I saw you lift my world.
Loved my son and father, so loved my momma. 
You are my only one.
I would never choose another.
You are God's newest color.
The reddest of the roses. 
The rose that I have chosen.

You look in the mirror.
I wonder what's going through your mind.
Broken words and dark moments.
Baby you don't have to say a word.
Nothing is your fault.
Nothing is your fault.


I whispered your name when I was a boy thinking of when I was to be a man. 
I stood up when you walked in.
Died a hundred times.
For you I would do it all again.


Lightning strikes and hits the metal on the back porch.
You were so afraid the night I never let you go.
Promised you then but in the form of our kiss.
Never breaking deals I made with God.
You are the rose.
You are the rose.
Give yourself a shot.

You can't hide everything.
Heart made of glass.
Behind the windowpane.
You are the rose.
You are the rose.
Give yourself a shot.

You are my only one.
I would never choose another.
You are God's newest color.

It's like I kept my eyes closed the whole time.
Missing the ride of my life.
Was that the only way to survive the night.
You don't treat a heart like that.

Graveyard neighborhood.
The corpse that I am now.
The dead do talk.
What I can prove to you.
Come here and let me tell you.

The flavor of ferocity.
The passion in the air.
If the World was really burning down.
Would she even care.
From all that I can tell.
She would let us fail.
From all that I can tell.
She would never tell.

Her jawline.
Foundation to a smile that kills.
The giver of the chills.
Lips on her lips.
Your gonna know how fire feels.
Too late for me now.
I am going all in.
Sure, she's got an appetite.
I only play to win.

It's like I kept my eyes closed the whole time.
Missing the ride of my life.
Was that the only way to survive the night.
You don't treat a heart like that.

Undertow moment.
Biting at the air.
The color of her hair.
Please give this man his share.
You only got one shot at this kind.
Shoot for the heart, go for the kill.
She only loves for the thrill.

Now here comes the sunrise.
Now where did she go.
I can smell her perfume.
I think she let me go.
Looking out the window.
Something is missing here.
You're the one who said forever.
You're the one who hurt my soul.

It's like I kept my eyes closed the whole time.
Missing the ride of my life.
Was that the only way to survive the night.
You don't treat a heart like that.

Her jawline.
Foundation to a smile that kills.
The giver of the chills.
Lips on her lips.
Your gonna know how fire feels.
Too late for me now.
I am going all in.
Sure, she's got an appetite.
I only play to win.

The flavor of ferocity.

Is this one better than the last baby.
You know I got to be the best.
You laugh at my silly accolades.
I just want to beat the rest.
Your mouth is the treasure.
I pour mine into it.
Now look at us beautiful.
Look what you have done.

I faced more than any should.
All in the name of love.
In the shame of lust.
Memories just turn to dust.
Never should have put the trust in us.
There are no guarantees in this life.
Shiny metal angel.
Angel made of rust.

Look at the rubble.
Stare at the crash.
You know what you did.
Run for your life girl.
You better run.
Nothing really matters now.
Sexy finale.
I can't turn my eyes away.
Your end is just the beginning. 
Better keep your lips to mine.

I gamble on Love.
Put all the money on the next card.
Loser trying to be a winner.
Take my relevance not my gold.
I see why they pursue.
To get a taste of you.
I don't blame them hell.
I pursue you too.

A thousand broken moments.
combine inside my mind.
Rewind God if you are kind.
Let me lose what lurks behind.
I stare at the black as it stares back.

 I faced more than any should.
All in the name of love.
In the shame of lust.
Memories just turn to dust.

Nothing really matters now.
Sexy finale.
I can't turn my eyes away.
You end is just the beginning. 
Better keep your lips to mine.

You are just an echo. 
I am just space.
Supernova climax.
Please just hear my case.
Leave me here to catch my breath.
She turned me into this.

Look at the rubble.
Stare at the crash.
You know what you did.
Run for your life girl.
You better run.
Nothing really matters now.
Sexy finale.
I can't turn my eyes away.
You end is just the beginning. 
Better keep your lips to mine.

Take me from this place.
Can you make a wish come true.
I never thought of that.
Until I took a look at you.
Broken moment.
Momentarily. 
Don't let go of me.
Things are getting scary.

Cut from the same cloth.
Wanna share a daydream?
Together we could both win.
That's what your eyes were telling me.
Inside my mind I said no.
My heart was screaming let go.
You know I never listen though.
Be careful out here baby.
Never let your truth show.

Delicious decision.
Girl, you taste like cake.
Red velvet with icing made of mistakes.
I found you in the taste.
You found me in the waste.
I want to turn back.
But my soul is telling me to wait.

Sweet sweat and candy.
The taste of her lips.
Addicted and conflicted.
When she shoots, she doesn't miss.
Shots fired again though.
Glancing of my soul's bones.
Bullseye baby, I knew that you could shoot.
Disguised you are the bullet.
I was born to be the trigger.
Want to prove who's quicker.
I would let you win baby.

From the heart of Texas rises Pale1 — a poet, fighter, and truth teller who turns pain into prophecy. Rooted in Austin’s raw underground scene, Pale1 stands apart as a lyricist who bleeds emotion through every bar. His verses are heavy with experience — a lifetime of loss, loyalty, and lessons — and his delivery carries the calm wisdom of a man who’s survived every storm and came back sharper.

More than a rapper, Pale1 is a freestyler, philosopher, and vessel for truth. His music bridges Southern grit with soulful reflection — the voice of someone who’s walked through fire and still thanks God for the journey. With every track, he breaks through facades and speaks directly to the spirit, blending poetic cadence with street-born authenticity.

Tracks like “Ugly Beautiful,” “Storm Front,” and “gAbrIel’s mesSaGe” show his ability to move between pain and peace, between loss and redemption — always guided by faith, always grounded in truth. His wordplay is sharp, his flow unpredictable, his tone unmistakably real. Pale1’s sound feels both ancient and new, a Texas storyteller channeling divine urgency through a microphone.

Behind the mic, Pale1 is Joe Kirk, founder and creative force behind Chrome Dolphins, a movement built on creativity, resilience, and rebirth. Together with a circle of like-minded artists, he continues to build from the underground up — not chasing fame, but pursuing meaning.

Pale1 is more than music — he’s message, motion, and mercy wrapped in rhyme.
When he speaks, it’s not just bars — it’s testimony.
When he breathes, it’s art.
When he rhymes, it’s revelation.
