Title:
“Frayed Edges”
Full Song Lyrics:
(Verse 1)
[Am] Scars, [C] deep and unhealed
[G] Frayed edges of a [D] soul revealed
[Am] Pain, [C] raw and unrefined
[G] Lingering shadows [D] in my mind
(Chorus)
[F] Here in the wake of [Am] our own undoing
[C] Lost in echoes of a [G] past that’s ruined
[F] We are the wry guilt, [Am] forever yearning
[C] For a solace that’s [D] forever burning
(Verse 2)
[Am] Dreams, [C] they crumble and fade
[G] Like old walls in [D] harsh sunlight, degrade
[Am] Hope, [C] a flickering flame
[G] Dances in the [D] darkness, to acclaim
(Chorus)
[F] Here in the heartbreak of [Am] our own design
[C] We are both the poison and the [G] wine
[F] We are the wry guilt, [Am] forever learning
[C] That our peace is a [D] prize, forever yearning
Chorus to end.

Testimonial:
“Wry Guilt, man, where do I start? I’ve been following them since the very beginning, before they’ve even dropped their first EP. There’s something raw and real about their music that just gets me, you know? ‘Frayed Edges’ is pretty much my life anthem. I’ve seen them live more times than I can count, and each time, their performance is electrifying. There isn’t another band out there that creates such a unique atmosphere and connection with their audience. Wry Guilt isn’t just a band for me, it’s a lifestyle.”
