Double N's Tale

**Title: "Reality of Light"** **Verse 1** In the quiet of the midnight hour, When the world forgets to breathe, Shadows dance like broken flowers, And the heart bends beneath. **Chorus** Oh, sadness is only a reality, Not the whole of who we are, A whisper in the symphony, A single fallen star. **Verse 2** But the dawn will crack the silence, With a light that’s soft and sheer, Every storm has its expiry, And the pain, it disappears. **Chorus** Oh, sadness is only a reality, Not the end of where we’ll go, A chapter in humanity, A scar that lets us grow. **Bridge** Hold on, the night’s a fleeting canvas, Where the brave reclaim their fire, From the ashes of our anguish, We soar—*higher, higher, higher*. **Instrumental Break** *(Melody swells, echoing hope)* **Outro** So let the tears carve rivers, But don’t drown in what they say, For sadness is a reality… And reality can *change*. **Final Chorus (Softened)** Oh, sadness is only a reality, But love’s the truest part, A heartbeat in the dark’s fragility— We’re stardust, meant to *spark*.

(Verse 1) Tall mountains touch the sky, stories whispered in the breeze Sun paints the temple gold, a monk chants peacefully Nature's peace, a calming sigh, where worries seem to cease (Chorus) Faraway tune, a gentle song, whispers of the past Flute sings secrets on the breeze, a timeless peace to last A hidden world, calm and slow, a place the soul can know (Verse 2) Pink flowers dance in spring, a fleeting, lovely sight Fish glide through still water, a graceful, silent flight Tea warms the soul within, a strength for day and night (Chorus) Faraway tune, a gentle song, whispers of the past Flute sings secrets on the breeze, a timeless peace to last A hidden world, calm and slow, a place the soul can know

[Verse] Ms Nutter rolls in with a heavy sway But her words fall flat like stale souffle Claims she’s the queen of every lane But strikes out swinging It’s pretty insane [Chorus] Roll her out like a bowling ball Crash and burn she’s got no thrall Pins are laughing standing tall Big talk small game that’s her call [Verse 2] She’s polished up but got no grip Takes the shot but her feet just slip Gutter-bound like a runaway train Sharp as a sphere dull as her reign [Chorus] Roll her out like a bowling ball Crash and burn she’s got no thrall Pins are laughing standing tall Big talk small game that’s her call [Bridge] Her strikes are dreams in the dark of night She throws shade but can’t hit it right A spare on her best days it's all the same The bowling alley of life ain't her game [Verse 3] Crying foul when the frame’s no good But the scoreboard don’t lie I think you should Take those tantrums and roll away Ms Nutter your act is passé

[Verse] في ليلنا وحكايانا سرّ الدفء الكامن أحلامنا تعلو معنا كطيف نور ساكن قلبي وقلبك يهتفان ما بين صمت وأغان يحكي النجوم لي حلمًا قديمًا بلسان [Verse 2] في عينيك عرفت سلامًا ضاع في صوت الرياح ضحكتك مثل الندى يسقي الحنين والجراح يا وهج روح لا يختفي أنت الصديق والحلم أنسج من أيامنا أغنية حبٍ وشم [Chorus] ليالي السهر تجمعنا على حلم ما قد كان تروي القمر عن عشقنا بينما يجري الزمان بين زرقة السماء وشغف القلب الدافئ نسطر في الغيم أغنيتنا بصوتٍ شفاف [Bridge] أوراق الحب تتساقط كرقصة خدود الزهر تجمعنا لحظات وتمضي كمعزوفة العمر وكأن الوقت معي توقف دون ندم أو خوف يا لصدى صوتك الحنون يجري بين الحرف [Verse 3] أسطورة نحن نحيا بين عتمة وضياء كأننا بين الأشواق قمر يعانق الماء نغني للحب حلمًا لا تسطره الروايات نحيا في دهشة النور وكل الصمت حياة [Outro] ليالي السهر تبقى معنا في كل دجى ومساء تكتب الأماني فوق الغيم بألف حرف ونداء نعود إلى نبض حب لا يشيخ مع السنين يا أنشودتي الخالدة يا حلم القلب الحزين

[Verse] Tate was cruisin' seas with gold in his hold Head high sails wide stories untold But the thunder cracked wild waves took their toll He stood at the helm like a man touched by soul [Chorus] Spin the wheel hold tight don’t let it go The storm’s got teeth and it’s stealing the show Grip your courage while the waters roar low Tate the sailor fighting fate's undertow [Verse 2] The cannons roared flames kissed the sky black Enemies loomed close no thought to turn back He laughed in their faces “You’ll not break my track” But danger grinned sharper and prepared its attack [Chorus] Spin the wheel hold tight don’t let it go The storm’s got teeth and it’s stealing the show Grip your courage while the waters roar low Tate the sailor fighting fate's undertow [Bridge] Deep in the chaos he whispered his vow “I won’t quit this journey not then and not now” The sea threw its demons but he didn't bow Through salt on his wounds he'd figure out how [Verse 3] With a flash came a gale that spun the ship round Deck cracking thunder the only sound But through all the wild out of loss was found Tate rose through the tempest his fury unbound

Title: Storm’s Gonna Pass (A Song for Queensland as Cyclone Alfred Approaches) Verse 1: Dark clouds are rolling, the wind starts to rise, Ocean waves roaring, fire in the skies. But we’ve seen the tempests, we’ve weathered the rain, Queensland stands strong, we’ll do it again. Pre-Chorus: Hold on tight, don’t lose your light, The storm will come, but we'll fight the night. Chorus: Storm’s gonna pass, winds gonna die, Sun’s gonna break through that heavy sky. We’ll stand together, no fear, no doubt, Queensland’s heart can’t be blown out. Verse 2: Sirens are wailing, the streets turn to sea, But hope is still burning in you and in me. Neighbors are knocking, hands reaching out, In times like these, love drowns the doubt.

We’ll stand together, no fear, no doubt, Queensland’s heart can’t be blown out. Bridge: Raindrops fall, but so do tears, Not of sorrow, but strength through years. We've seen the floods, we’ve felt the waves, And every time, we rise from the graves. Chorus (Final): Storm’s gonna pass, winds gonna die, Sun’s gonna break through that heavy sky. We’ll stand together, no fear, no doubt, Queensland’s heart can’t be blown out. Outro: So hold on tight, just close your eyes, When the winds are gone, we’ll see blue skies.

[Verse] Your smile's a whisper across the air Soft as the sun that strokes my hair Every glance ignites A flame so true My heart dances All because of you [Chorus] Ba-da boom Boom Your love's the beat A rhythm so strong It sweeps my feet In your arms My world aligns Together we move No space No time [Verse 2] Your voice is a song I can’t forget Melody sweet when our eyes have met Touch so electric It sparks my skin Love like a fire burning deep within [Chorus] Ba-da boom Boom Your love's the beat A rhythm so strong It sweeps my feet In your arms My world aligns Together we move No space No time [Bridge] Let the stars watch as we collide Two souls entwined Never divide Our laughter flows like a river wide Your love’s the ocean where I confide [Verse 3] Under the moonlight We sway so close A story unfolds that only we compose Your heartbeat sings Forever mine Our song of love defying time

Verse 1) In the corner of my mind, Shadows dance, secrets entwined. Covered ears, I shut them tight, But the whispers call me through the night. (Pre-Chorus) Memories flash, like lightning in a storm, A childhood laughter, where I felt warm. But every smile hides a faded tear, The darkness cries, oh can you hear? (Chorus) Shadows whisper, they know my name, Echoes of stories, I’m caught in the game. With shattered tears that fall like rain, I’m walking through the whispers of the pain. (Verse 2) I remember summers, running wild and free, Swing sets swaying, just my friends and me. But as the sun set, fears took their place, In the quiet nights, I’d hide my face. (Pre-Chorus) Pictures on the wall, they tell a tale, Of dreams once vivid, now grown pale. But every laugh masks a broken scream, The darkness weeps, it haunts my dreams. (Chorus) Shadows whisper, they know my name, Echoes of stories, I’m caught in the game. With shattered tears that fall like rain, I’m walking through the whispers of the pain. (Bridge) Oh, can you see me? I’m fighting this fight, Searching for solace in the dead of night. The past is a puzzle, pieces out of sight, But I’ll keep on dancing, till I find the light. (Chorus) Shadows whisper, they know my name, Echoes of stories, I’m caught in the game. With shattered tears that fall like rain, I’m walking through the whispers of the pain. (Outro) So I’ll raise my head, though the night feels long, In the shadows' whisper, I’ll find my song. With every tear, a chance to heal, Through the darkness, I’ll learn to feel.

Ooh-yeah Ooh-yeah I can feel it Girl, pick up your phone, I can't believe it I can feel my spirit slowly leavin' I can't see myself and I'm not breathin' (ah) I'm not breathin' (I'm not breathin') Slowly bleedin' (bleedin') I wish that I told you all my feelings (feelings) I hope that I lived life for a reason (reason) But at least you'll play this song When I'm gone And I hope you cry for me Like I cry for you Every night for you Take it easy on me, baby, 'cause I tried with you Saw my life with you End of time with you Now we're strangers And I hope that you still cry for me Like I cry for you Every night for you I've been livin' with this lie, now I can't hide the truth I can't hide the truth Girl, I'll cry for you Girl, I'll cry for you, ooh-yeah

(Verse 1) Streetlights paint your face in gold, Laughing with your friends, a story told. I stand back here, a shadow in the night, Watching you bathed in that warm light. My heart beats fast, a silent drum, Wishing, hoping, you"d see where I"m from. (Chorus) We"re parallel lines, never meant to meet, Destined to admire from a lonely street. But I"ll be here, a constant in your view, If ever your sky turns gray, or your heart feels blue. (Verse 2) He holds your hand, a perfect fit, And I pretend it doesn"t sting a bit. I see the joy that dances in your eyes, And try to bury down these silent cries. Maybe someday, fate will intervene, And you"ll realize what could have been. (Chorus) We"re parallel lines, never meant to meet, Destined to admire from a lonely street. But I"ll be here, a constant in your view, If ever your sky turns gray, or your heart feels blue. (Bridge) I know I should move on, find someone new, Someone who sees the world the way I do. But my heart"s a stubborn, foolish thing, Clinging to the hope that love will sing, A different tune, a melody for us, Breaking these chains of what "just is." (Chorus) We"re parallel lines, never meant to meet, Destined to admire from a lonely street. But I"ll be here, a constant in your view, If ever your sky turns gray, or your heart feels blue. (Outro) Maybe one day, you"ll turn and see, The love that"s always been waiting here for thee. Until then, I"ll watch you from afar, A silent wish upon a distant star.
