Section 0 / It Ain't Right

"Shawn" is an intimate folk ballad honoring a brother lost too soon. Through emotional male vocals and gentle acoustic fingerpicking, this song tells the story of a former soldier who struggled with civilian life after military service. The lyrics weave a poignant narrative of brotherly protection, unspoken pain, and the unanswered questions left behind.

Each verse portrays different chapters of Shawn's journey—from military service to civilian struggles—while the recurring June motif creates a temporal anchor for grief. The pre-chorus captures the devastating moment of discovery, while the chorus serves as both lament and tribute to a "silent knight." The bridge addresses complex family dynamics that often accompany loss, adding emotional depth to this musical memorial.

More than a song, "Shawn" is a heartfelt conversation with a beloved brother whose memory endures beyond his absence—offering solace to anyone who has experienced the complicated grief of losing someone to suicide.

Flickering Roads

[Verse 1]
Can you hear the sirens hum?
Under towers made of steel and drum
Missiles sleeping in their case
While children trace the war god’s face
Neon lights disguise the threat
In quiet rooms, the deals are set

[Pre-Chorus]
Do we dare to cross that line?
Trade the fire for something kind?
Where silence speaks in loaded terms
And kindness is the first to burn

[Chorus]
Drones above, hearts below
Futures sold in afterglow
The world rewinds with fatal grace
We slow-dance in a warlord's place
Do we dare to cross that line?
Or let the trigger write the rhyme?

[Verse 2]
Rhythms mimic marching feet
Newsfeeds loop what none repeat
They raise the flag, we dim the light
And dream in shadows, out of sight
Sparks of peace beneath the dust
Left to rust, or left to trust?

[Chorus]
Drones above, hearts below
Futures sold in afterglow
The world rewinds with fatal grace
We slow-dance in a warlord's place
Do we dare to cross that line?
Or let the trigger write the rhyme?

[Verse 3]
What if the line was never real –
just shadows cast by power's wheel?
What if the noise, the flags, the flame,
were all just masks to dodge the blame?
We bury hope beneath the tech,
trade soft hands for coded wrecks.

[Verse 4/Outro]
Still, in the quiet, there's a glow,
a thread of peace we used to know.
No anthem loud, no marching pride –
just one more chance we brushed aside.
Do we dare to cross that line?
Or watch the end in perfect time?

Do We Dare To Cross That Line [Eli]

shes ahh...

How many tears before we learn

Crash Into Static

VERSE 1
You came to me in a fevered light
Veiled in silk and ancient rites
Eyes like scripture, breath like wine
You whispered: "You were always mine"

PRE-CHORUS
And I kneeled, trembling, to receive
A kiss, a curse, a new belief
Your touch — it split my soul in two
One half for me… the rest for You

CHORUS
I built an altar in my chest
Lit candles where your name would rest
You're not love, you're a god disguised
And I’m your lamb, crucified
Possess me whole, no in-between
Worship hurts when it feels this clean
So take my voice, my blood, my spine
Make me yours
Divine

VERSE 2
I wear the marks you left behind
Like holy wounds that cleanse my mind
Your silence speaks in tongues I crave
You bless me deeper than the grave

PRE-CHORUS
My prayers decay in your caress
I beg for pain, I beg for less
But heaven bends beneath your weight
And I collapse beneath my fate

CHORUS
I built an altar in my chest
Lit candles where your name would rest
You're not love, you're a god disguised
And I’m your lamb, crucified
Possess me whole, no in-between
Worship hurts when it feels this clean
So take my voice, my blood, my spine
Make me yours
Divine

BRIDGE
(Whispered)
I tore out every mortal part
To house your throne inside my heart
(Screamed)
Sanctify me — in your fire!
Purify me — take me higher!

FINAL CHORUS
I built an altar in my chest
Lit candles where your name would rest
You're not love, you're a god disguised
And I’m your lamb, crucified
Possess me whole, no in-between
Worship hurts when it feels this clean
So take my voice, my blood, my spine
Make me yours
Divine

OUTRO
Divine... divine...
I was never mine...
