Title:
“The Scribbled Truth”
Full Song Lyrics:
[Verse 1]
Am – C – G – F
In the silence of the night, (Am)
We search for the guiding light. (C)
Stories written in our hearts, (G)
unspoken words tearing us apart. (F)
[Verse 2]
Am – C – G – F
In the shadows of our fears, (Am)
We drown in our private tears. (C)
The scribbled truth in our hands, (G)
Hidden away like shifting sands. (F)
[Chorus]
Am – C – G – F
The Scribbled Truth, it’s our fight, (Am)
In the depths of the quiet night. (C)
A Wordy Offender we may be, (G)
Singing the truth, setting it free. (F)

Their lyrics speak to me on a deep, emotional level, and the music just stirs something within me. Ray’s voice adds the perfect touch of soul to their rock tunes. Their song “The Scribbled Truth” has seen me through some difficult times. I love the band not only for their music, but for their humble beginnings and passion for what they do. It’s like they play from their hearts and it reaches out to mine. Wordy Offender forever!!”
