The Grammar of Light

1 2025

Deviate

[Verse]
Some dig deep
just to stay afloat
Hands all blister
still no coat

Some rise slow
before the sun
Give and give
‘till nothing’s done

[Chorus]
Some people work to the bone –
and go home cold
Others glide
and still strike gold

[Verse]
You're told it counts
to do things right
But right don't pay
on Friday night

[Bridge]
It’s not about how much you give –
but who gets seen
and who gets to live

[Chorus]
Some people work to the bone –
just to survive
Some wear crowns
they never tried

[Verse]
Hands worn thin
Truth cuts stone
Some keep bleeding
Just to own

[Outro Chorus]
Some people work to the bone –
and go home cold
Others glide
and still strike gold


Work To The Bone

The Light Never Lies

[Verse]
We don’t touch, we resonate
Through silence bent by distant weight
A charge, a pulse, a field we share
You turn, and I am almost there

[Chorus]
The light never lies
It flickers, but flies
We’re spark in the dark
Writing truth across skies

[Verse]
A photon passed between our hands
No sound, no plea, just what it understands
A grammar etched in wave and spin
We reach, collapse, begin again

[Chorus]
The light never lies
It flickers, but flies
We’re fire without flame
We’re question, not name

[Bridge]
Not bodies, but signals
Not answers, but signs
The world is a whisper
In vacuum lines

[Chorus]
The light never lies
Though shadows may try
We burn just to know
That to be is to glow

The Light Never Lies

[Verse]
You looked away, but your hand stayed still
Like a page half-turned against your will
Coffee cooled, the light turned red
But something more was left unsaid

I moved my chair a breath too near
Not to speak, but just be here
Your fingers twitched, a silent sign
And I read the space between your lines

[Chorus]
It’s not the words we throw or catch
But sparks that jump without a match
The hush before a lover leaves
The weight of what no tongue believes

[Verse]
She wiped the table, wiped it twice
As if to smooth out sacrifice
He checked the mail, then checked again
As if to name what can't remain

[Chorus]
It’s not the words we throw or catch
But sparks that jump without a match
The hush before a lover leaves
The weight of what no tongue believes

It’s not the words we throw or catch
But sparks that jump without a match
We speak in drift, in glance, in breath
A grammar wired beneath regret

[Bridge]
Like radios tuned in distant rooms
We hum, we pulse, we share our wounds
No alphabet can hold this thread –
But still, it ties what’s never said

[Outro Chorus]
It’s not a voice, but still reply
A field between the you and I
We’re not alone, not when we try
The light between us doesn’t lie

I Want To Win

This Is The Path [No Beast Has Touched]

[Verse 1]
I walked the edge where silence grows
Among forgotten bones and crows
Not north, nor south – just in-between
Where memory hides what might have been
A path untrodden, undefined
Where no shadow ever screamed clarity
No claw has scratched this ancient dust
No hunger dares disturb its trust

[Chorus]
This is the path no beast has touched
Too still for fear, too deep for blood
A whispered thread through time's collapse
Where breath is birth and loss, perhaps
You who seek – remain, endure
Where no anger forms a cure
The path unfolds beneath the skin
Where nothing ends and none begin

[Verse 2]
Not made for kings, nor for the lost
It winds beyond all gain and cost
A light that rests without a name
A flame that sleeps in body's frame
The hunter's eyes can't pierce this field
No trap is set, no prey revealed
This isn’t peace, it isn’t war
But something vaster, without shore

[Chorus]
This is the path no beast has touched
Too still for fear, too deep for blood
A whispered thread through time's collapse
Where breath is birth and loss, perhaps
You who’ve loved and you who bore
A silence larger than before
The path is carved in shadow’s kin
Where all you've lost is held within

[Bridge]
And if you hear it – like a call
Not loud, but not quite silence, all
Then walk, but leave your weapons here
For truth won’t fight, and truth won’t fear

[Final Chorus]
This is the path no beast has known
Where silence sings and self is sown
A path that glows beyond the seen
Where every step is home unseen

This Is The Path [No Beast Has Touched]

[Verse]
I walk the edge of a yawning void
Only Nijinsky dares to hold my hand
You fell asleep upon the stairs
And woke with a crushed orange in your palm

You said you speak with those long gone
That their answers cut deeper than mine
Their silence wrapped in solemn grace
Outshining my faltering lines

[Pre-Chorus]
You said I wasn’t good for her –
But what the hell do you, do you know of that
Everyone who’s scared
Just bends their story to fit the facts

[Chorus]
You always told me who I was
Never cared to really know
Over and over – your damn questions
Till I gave the answer you came for

Over and over – the same demands
I wish I'd walked away back then

[Verse]
You stole the most precious thing we had
Refused to share what never was yours alone
Even knowing they'd break apart
If we didn’t leave them the peace they deserved

Just a fair chance to grow, to heal
To feel the love they were worthy of
But you chose to repeat your hell instead
The childhood you blamed for everything

[Pre-Chorus]
You said I wasn’t good for her –
But what the hell do you know of that?
Everyone who’s scared
Just bends their story to fit the facts

[Chorus]
I wish I’d fought, told you off long ago
You never thanked the fear we showed
We bent, we broke from every word
This pain was never what we owed

[Outro]
I miss my daughter every single day
But a heart turned cold took her away
Nijinsky said – cold is where death begins
And warmth was something they'd never let in

Miss My Dandelion Girl

KARAOKE by NOVA J

My neighbors are starting to hate me
It’s 3am and I’m driving ‘em crazy
All that noise from the upper floor
Now someone’s bangin’ on my door

But I don’t care
I’m in my underwear
Microphone in my hand
Singin’ “No Man’s Land”

Do you wanna come play with me?
And sing karaoke? (Karaoke)

So c’mon by and sing along
Show me your favorite song
I’ll show you mine if you want me to
(Singing karaoke with you)
(Singing karaoke with you)

(ahh-ooo, mm-mm, oh-oh-oh)

I’m not too proud to sing alone
But I’ve got a blank space, and baby I’m home
Life can be toxic, and God bless the child
Who knows every word to Taylor’s “Exile”

If we’re a match
Let’s mess around
I’m a good catch
When I’m not spiraling down

Do you wanna come play with me?
And sing karaoke? (Karaoke)

So c’mon by and sing along
Show me your favorite song
I’ll show you mine if you want me to
(Singing karaoke with you)
(Singing karaoke with you)

(ahh-ooo, mm-mm, oh-oh-oh)

I don’t really mind
If you sing out of key
As long as you’re singing
Right here with me.
(Do you wanna come over?)
And sing karaoke?
I don’t wanna be a loner.
I’m tired of lonely.

So c’mon by and sing along
Show me your favorite song
I’ll show you mine if you want me to
(Singing karaoke with you)
(Singing karaoke with you)
(ahh-ooo, mm-mm, oh-oh-oh)
(Singing karaoke with you)
(Singing karaoke with you)

I Send You a Wind

If you open Schrödinger's box and the Cat is dead, your curiosity literally killed the Cat.  Sorry. Bad joke. This song is about that awkward moment you meet/met your life partner, insecurity, dark -ahem- thoughts, my own weird autism crap and that point in the double split experiment where observation changes the experiment and the wave/particle duality ends, or opening the cat's box, Schrödinger's box, Pandora's box? Your choice. I love science. Never said I was good at it. Whatever the heck you see in it -you're correct lol.

Lyrics:

My mouth set sweet, 
my eyes just cold. 
I split to fit the room 
I laugh with half my face, 
the other half's on hold.

I live like I’m 
split in two.
The better half of me's bright, the other blue.
I’m not a single skin.
I’m a quantum twin.

Days collapse to maybe yes,
Nights rewind to maybe no.
Ask me how I feel right now,
I’m both the high and the low.

Double doors, I pick a side,
One shows up, the other hides.
What if seeing me whole
Shatters all you know?

I live like I’m 
split in two
One side of me's nice, the other rude
I’m not a single skin.
I’m a quantum twin.

I live like I’m 
split in two
The light side's false, the other true
I’m not a single skin.
I’m a quantum twin.

You observe me, chaos stops,
All the noise inside me drops.
Now I’m someone I’ve never been,
For the first time ever, I feel seen.

I lived like I was split in two, 
Your love snapped me back to one. 
I’m not a shifting skin, 
I am whole again.
I felt I was split in two, 
I am here right now because of you
I’m not a quantum twin, 
The two of us make one.

Mouth set sweet, eyes now warm,
With one look, I'm reborn
Not a quantum twin.
Let our life begin.

let's begin...

Quantum Twin

Note: In light of the recent AI breakthroughs, we feel it's important to clarify that we've been working with voice modulation since the mid-1990s – originally inspired by David Bowie's album Outside. Our approach predates AI-driven tools and is rooted in treating the voice as an instrument, shaped and sculpted through earlier technologies.

We fully understand that questioning authenticity may not be the intention – but it's worth remembering that all electronic music is, by nature, mediated and transformed. Even Nietzsche pointed out how modern tools shape us: inserting paper into a typewriter already creates a distance that handwriting does not. Perhaps birdsong is the only truly authentic sound. 🐦
