I Believe To My Soul

Still got the scar from one I can't remember...
Blackout Blues by songwriter Edwin H. Balder
Woke up in the alley with my boots gone missin’
Pocket full of gravel and a jawbone clickin’
Moon through the fire escape laughin’ at me
Ain’t no crime like a memory you can’t see
Somebody said I swung first, somebody lied
All I know is my pride’s in the jukebox
playin’ on the wrong side
Ohhhh I got the blackout blues
Every truth’s a tattoo I can’t choose
They say I started the war but I lost the fight
Now I’m payin’ for sins in ...borrowed..... light
Bartender’s got a Polaroid behind the rye shelf
Shows some fool in my shirt gettin’ right with himself
Knuckles flash like a preacher’s last dime
But that devil ain’t me—at least not this time
Witnesses wink like they’re sellin’ the cure
Funny how trouble always needs
one face to remember for sure
Ohhhh I got the blackout blues
Every truth’s a tattoo I can’t choose
They say I started the war but I lost the fight
Now I’m payin’ for sins in borrowed light
Doc says the brain hides what the bones can’t carry
But my ribs got receipts from some phantom jury
Bootprint on my back in the shape of "Amen"
Guess I preached to a choir of better men
If I find that bastard who wore my skin
Do I thank him or kill him?
Hell… let’s ask the bottle again
Ohhhh I got the blackout blues
Every truth’s a tattoo I can’t choose
They say I started the war but I lost the fight
Now I’m payin’ for sins in borrowed light
They say I started the war but I lost the fight
Now I’m payin’ for sins in borrowed light

TWO SIDES TO A STORY

There are two sides to a story
If you bother to ask
The key to knowing is shining more light
And then you’ll find if you are right

Someone badly dressed could be a hobo
Or a billionaire in disguise
Give yourself a moment before making your mind
And that’s what takes to be smart

So, if someone tells you
They saw me with someone else
Let me explain, hear me out
Cause I’ve got my own side
Just don’t open your eyes

The truth is like the Sun
It burns our eyes when gazed
Trust your heart instead 
And stay amazed

No need to understand
We love with what we can sense
And make up stories 
Our own way

Maybe I’m being a tad cynical
But I need you to stay
Being together is worth many lies
And that’s the truth that I sign

So, if someone tells you
They saw me with someone else
Let me explain, hear me out
Cause I’ve got my own side
Just don’t open your eyes

[Chorus]
The truth is like the Sun
It burns our eyes when gazed
Trust your heart instead 
And stay amazed



Two Sides to a Story

Echoes in Stillness II

A lo-fi Flamenco confessional about grief, truth, and raw testimony. Close-mic, smoky alto vocals half-sung and half-spoken weave tightly with nylon-string guitar, palmas, and cajón. The performance trades polish for passion — aching pauses, sighs, and sudden cries shaping the flow. Sparse saturation and the hush of a late-night tablao give it torchlike intimacy, ending in a whispered fade, a confession left hanging in the shadows.

[LYRICS]

Lost and found, funny place
you never know till you do

I’ll be your glasses
when the world’s a blur.
I’ll be your small lighter
when the power’s out
your calm in the thunder
when you’re full of doubt

They say what’s lost
ain’t always gone
sometimes it waits
to lean on.

I’m your lost and found
when the world spins round
a friend at your side
when you’re feeling down
button for your coat
when it will not close
the flower you pressed
in a book no one knows

That one glove you lost
yes sir, I’m her
I’ll be your map
when you lose your street
that lucky coin
waiting under your seat
I’ll be your charger
when your spark runs weak

I’ve been forgotten
and I’ve worn some dust
still I’m your mirror
when you need to trust

I’m your lost and found
when the world spins round
come find me again
when you’re feeling down

I was yours all along
just out of sight

Just out of sight

Lyrics:


1st verse

Daring to love you, ain't never been tough, tho lately my hair's turnin' white

I can be patient, I can be wrong, but it's worth it when you come around


Bridge 

With your golden hair guidin' me through the darkest times of the year, it's you and me darlin', it's you and me again


Chorus

Tell me you'll stay here, tell me you'll come near, tell me you'll stop lettin' me go

Tell me the wounds heal, tell me the signs will lead you to my broken door



2nd verse

The whippoorwill's crying, it's cryin' too much, I guess it's holdin' a grudge

The liquor's inviting, but I ain't drinkin much, 'cause I'm drunk on your eyes and your touch



Bridge

You know full well your touch guides me through the darkest times of the year, it's you and me darlin', it's you and me again



Chorus

Tell me you'll stay here, tell me you'll come near, tell me you'll stop lettin' me go

Tell me the wounds heal, tell me the signs will lead you to my broken door
