Tell us: What does the phrase "Don't Black Out The Margins Of Me" mean to you in the comments?
The Story Behind the Track
Letters from the Library is set in the quiet hours of the stacks, blending warm Rhodes chords and the sound of pages turning with a deep, modern Trap-Soul 808 pulse and vinyl crackle.

This track is an intimate response to the unprecedented rise in book bans, which recently surged to thousands of instances across the country. The song is for those fighting to ensure that all voices—especially those representing the lived experiences of marginalized communities—are preserved and read. We believe the freedom to read is fundamental to exercising our democratic rights, and that every person deserves to see themselves reflected in the pages of a book.

Lyrics

Intro
All these titles pulled… we write them back.”

Verse 1
Quiet hours in the stacks, rain on panes outside the glass,
Dust and lamp‑light on our backs, spines of friends we can’t unmask.
Someone took the stories down, inked our authors out of town,
But we fold our names between the sheets, every whisper makes a sound.

Pre‑Chorus 1
They call it safe to leave them blank, they strike the lines that made us see,
But we are paragraphs in waiting, breathing soft in memory.

Chorus
Don’t black out the margins of me,
I’m more than the words you refuse to read.
Letters from the library,
We’re hidden in covers and scribbled on sleeves.
Don’t black out the margins of me.

Verse 2
Six thousand stories stripped away, twenty‑three states turned backs and keys,
Shelves gone bare across the map, empty spaces where we breathe.
We pass our notes in banned editions, slip our vows beneath the crease,
Write to kids we’ll never meet, “Here’s a truth they can’t delete.”

Pre‑Chorus 2
They said the silence keeps us pure; they locked the stacks with iron glee,
But empty shelves don’t make us safer, they just sharpen memory.

Chorus
Don’t black out the margins of me,
I’m more than the pages you claim to keep.
Letters from the library,
We’re tucked in the footnotes and humming beneath.
Don’t black out the margins of me.

Bridge
Candlelight and phone‑screen glow, we trace each line we used to know,
Hear our elders in the margins, feel their cadence in our bones.
We send a letter to the future, stamped in ink they tried to blot,
“Hold the light when they cut power, memorize what they forgot.”
Our voices rise like choir pads, turning silence into song,
We promise to keep reading, keep the neon burning on.

Final Chorus / Outro
Don’t black out the margins of me, (call)
We’ll write in the margins till we’re free (response).
Letters from the library,
Our names are the spines they’ll never see.
Don’t black out the margins of me…
