THIS IS HOW I PLAY ©December 2025 by Mary King
[Verse 1]
This is how I feel
When the world gets too loud to bear
This is how I play
When the lies hang thick in the air
[Verse 2]
All those things I’ve heard
The voices that won’t go away
The music makes them fade
Till there’s nothing left to say [Chorus – guitar swells, voice lifts just a little]
This guitar still has words to say
Words no mouth could ever shape
Listen up, this is how I play
This is my escape
[Verse 3]
No sermons, no headlines, no endless fight
Just wood and steel and truth tonight
When everything else turns to gray
These strings light up the way
[Chorus – bigger, but still intimate]
This guitar still has words to say
Deeper than the noise outside
Listen up, this is how I play
This is where I hide
[Chorus]
This guitar still has words to say
When my own voice runs dry
Listen up… this is how I play
This is how I survive
Tempo Change
[Fast Verse 1]
This is how I play
Music is my refuge
The place I run to
When I want to lose the blues
[Fast Rocking Chorus]
This guitar still has words to say
Deeper than the noise outside
Listen up, this is how I play
This is where I hide
[Fast Verse 2]
This is how I play
When I need a place to hide
This is all I've got to say
This is what I hear inside
I threw my TV away
No matter how hard they tried
I threw their bull shit away
I'm breaking through to the other side
[Fast Final Chorus]
This guitar still has words to say
When my own voice runs dry
Listen up… this is how I play
This is how I survive
