something radiating light

in the room

Ask her why

To Fear

Text:
[Verse 1]
I hold the door, I bite my tongue,
I give them space, they load the gun.
Always smiling through the noise,
While liars raise their shallow voice.

They climb ahead with sharpened teeth,
I fade like breath beneath their feet.
I never pushed, I always gave —
And somehow ended last to save.

[Chorus]
Tell me why the cruel ones win,
Why the loudest take it in.
While I stay calm, and try to care,
They fly — and I’m just standing there.
Is kindness just a losing game?
Will no one ever say my name?
I was too nice, too soft, too true…
And the world ran right past you.

[Verse 2]
I saw their lies, I looked away,
I hoped the truth would have its day.
But silence isn't armor, friend —
It breaks before the bitter end.

They laugh and call it confidence,
But ego’s just their weak defense.
And me? I never played that part,
I kept the peace, and broke my heart.

[Chorus]
Tell me why the fake ones shine,
While I fall back every time.
I gave my soul, I gave my grace,
But they outran me in the race.
Is virtue just a fading light?
A whisper drowned out by the fight?
I was too nice, too soft, too true…
And the world forgot me too.

(Guitar-Solo)

[Bridge – spoken or gently sung]
Maybe one day they'll slow down,
Maybe then, they’ll turn around.
And see the quiet ones who stood,
Who lost — because they tried to be good.

[Final Chorus – hopeful twist]
But I'd rather sleep with peace inside,
Than wear a crown built on a lie.
If kindness is the price I pay,
Then I’ll be nice… anyway.
Too soft, too real, too misunderstood —
But I’d still choose to be good.

Too Nice

I don’t hate you, I don’t wish you harm
But I had to let go, lay down my arms
No final words, no open scars
Just quiet steps away from who we are

It’s not anger, it’s not pain
It’s not revenge in a silent frame
It’s the strength to walk away
Without the need to make you stay

I forgave you in the silence
With no need to speak again
I chose peace over the chaos
Not out of loss, not out of pain
I let go of what we used to be
Not forgetting, just setting me free
It’s not resentment, not regret
It’s just a boundary you won’t forget

There’s no echo in the space you left
No blame, no bitterness, no breath
I’m not holding what I can’t mend
Not every wound needs a bitter end

It’s not cold, it’s not unkind
It’s choosing not to lose my mind
It’s closing doors with grace, not spite
To keep my soul and sleep at night

I forgave you in the silence
With no need to speak again
I chose peace over the chaos
Not out of loss, not out of pain
I let go of what we used to be
Not forgetting, just setting me free
It’s not resentment, not regret
It’s just a boundary you won’t forget

Sometimes love means walking on
When the damage has been done
Not to punish, not to blame
But to stop reliving the same old pain

I forgave you in the silence
It was never about the end
It was choosing me in the aftermath
Where healing had to begin
So I let go, I found my way
Without a word left to say
Not out of anger, but out of grace
I chose my peace, I found my place

Choosing Peace(Lyrics)

CRY YOUR SONG

Sometimes you climb out of bed in the morning
And you think I'm not going to make it
But you laugh inside
Remembering all the times you've felt that way

'Cause you'll be fine
You'll be fine
You'll be fine
You'll be fine

And sometimes you wake up in the morning
And you think I'm not going to make it
But you laugh inside
Remembering all the times you've felt that way

'Cause you'll be fine
You'll be fine
You'll be fine
You'll be fine

And you laugh inside
Remembering all the times you've felt that way
'Cause you'll be fine
You'll be fine

You'll be fine
You'll be fine
You'll be fine
You'll be fine



You'll  Be Fine

Where the War Birds Sleep

Needs bass and drums...although i quite like the 'Heavy Metal' drum sound of my 80's casio that i rescued from a skip.
