tw: s.a and suicide.

The space I cleaned is just another angle for them to attack me from.

The gargoyles are running into my windows and maiming me every time. 

From time to time, I consider myself a capsicum of all the contempt for society.

What is the certain unknowable thing, what the French literally call “I don’t know what”!

From where is the two-pence drawn, the ear of the clown, the ear of the jester.

The mark of a liar, the tell of some dirty fucking fraud! What the fuck are you doing here!

I left you in that tin-walled shack up in Turley and I put enough LSD in your body, I thought you’d forget!

But the day was not legitimate, I maimed you, yeah, but here we are!... 

What of the happen-stance?

So you raped a girl and want to kill yourself?

I try to support you, but you taunt me in turn.

What happens then?-

I’m a little pale and blue which renders me alone!

What of brimstone?! Wade in slow death!

I’m a little on my way to being a cult leader!

What of the healer in me?! Wade in slow death!

…By the time the muddy bomb hit-

There was no food left in Tulsa.

All that time I never forgot what I said to the boy I fancied.

I didn’t have the gumption, yeah, I said nothing…

What of the happen-stance?

You’re young and dumb but you did something very wrong.

I don’t want you to die because I want you to rot. 

What happens then? What happens then—?-

I’m a little troll living in a water engine!

What of vengeance?! Wade in slow death!

I’m a little on my way to being a cult leader!

What of the healer in me?! Wade in slow death!

…By the time they decreed us all inhuman-

There was no real human left from the fight.

All that I spent planning the perfect revolution with communist party-

It was all for nothing, the cold ones always win in the end… 

Lysergic acid dythalimadnesside!.. 

Lysergic acid dythalimadnesside!... 

In the cave, in the den, in the brain of a human!-

Is the most vile things the universe can conceive!

In the hate, in the doctrine, in the grin that destroys their frame! 

The one thing that the jelly-fish despises most.. -is you geometric people!... 

In the cave, in the den, in the brain of a human!-

Is the most vile things the universe can conceive!

In the hate, in the doctrine, in the grin that destroys their frame! 

The one thing that the jelly-fish despises most.. -is you geometric people!....

Geometric people!.. 

Geometric people!.. 

Geometric people!.. 

Geometric people!..

Well I wish that we could talk like all the people on TV

who tell you every thought that's in their head

then we wouldn't have to have these conversations any more

where we talk a lot but nothing much gets said

​

well I guess I wouldn't like to be a character like that

'cause I wouldn't always want to speak my mind

but I wouldn't know how hard it is to never be quite sure

if you mean it when you tell me that you're fine

Samphire

​

In the sandy grey,

Samphire grows where the wild waves play,

Never washed away.

Against the roar and the ruthless spray,

It stands, it sways—

My tears splash me in the same way.

​

Could they give me the force of the shore ?

Alone I thrive, alone I will be.

Growing on my tears doesn't make a big tree.

Do I really have to implore ?

Alone I thrive, alone I will be.

Growing on my tears doesn't make a big tree.

​

Iodine on my skin,

I stand right where winds whip and spin.

Relentless waves begin,

It's the only place I've ever been.

Within endless din—

Echoes of the sad samphire's kin.

​

Could they give me the force of the shore ?

Alone I thrive, alone I will be.

Growing on my tears doesn't make a big tree.

Do I really have to implore ?

Alone I thrive, alone I will be.

Growing on my tears doesn't make a big tree.

​

Waves will come, as they always have.

I’m a samphire in this salty wrath.

Splashing, slashing my resigned face.

Cruelly steady, they bite with cold.

I'm not cool, I’m not in their norm.

No respite in tide, no calm in the storm.

Splashing, 'cause I can’t leave this place.

Cruelly steady, they make me believe I’m bold.

​

Let the waves come, as they always have.

I’m a samphire in this salty wrath.

What if the echo that I hear is not my voice, but another?

What if this place is far more depraved than we could have ever thought.

What’s to say?

..What if the gargoyles become animated?

..What if the roots of the maple become too much to bear? Huh- 

What if the writings were not well kept? And-What if the ground was already burned? Yeah-

What if the voice I’ve heard all my life is not yours, but an impostor?

(Do I love you or the deceiver then?) 

What if this place is far more venomous than a smudge could ever salve?

(Then, where would our home be?) 

What’s to say? 

..What if the gargoyles become animated?

..What if the plate of the day becomes too much to bear? Huh- 

What if the writings were already burned? Yeah-

What if the ghost wasn’t even vengeful? And- 

What if the sun is already gone and we’re all living in a state of denial?!.. What if the mouth has already opened, we just aren’t to be exposed to it?!.. 

What if the sky had already opened up and we came down in a pod made of rock?!..

What if the love that the body we make has is big enough to give to all?!.. 

Why can’t you see reason?

Was foolishness beat into you?

I bet it was, I know it was-

So in the end, I cannot dig into you… 

Holy body, holy organs.What is holy is ultimately part of the whole.

Our world is a macro-cell.. 

Holy body, holy organs.What is holy is ultimately part of the whole.

What could be done about our contentment in hell?- 

What the demi-god said; “what about the apple’s eye?”.

Pouring out of the clouds like pink water… 

Why can’t you see reason?

Was foolishness beat into you?

I bet it was, I know it was-

So in the end, I cannot dig into you…

Holy body, holy organs.What is holy is ultimately part of the whole.

Our world is a macro-cell.. 

Holy body, holy organs.What is holy is ultimately part of the whole.

What could be done about our contentment in hell?- 

What the demi-god said; “what about the right to die?”.

Pouring out of the clouds like pink water…

VerPit

Can't help the feeling that you are pushing me away,

Standing on the cliff of despair, closer to the edge every day.

Wondering if you will pull me back as I will take my last step,

or will you watch me fall, because you don't care for me anymore.

I could write books on what I feel towards you

while you couldn't even say those 3 words

deep inside I knew you would never do.

I would never let it die, but I can't revive

what's been dead on your side,

after more than just one night.

And now you are leaving me on read,

you left me wishing that my emotions were dead.

I wish I could but I just can't forget,

you stabbed my heart and it slowly bled

I´m still young but what is there to chase in life,

I lost you and life is torn as paper by knife,

Didnt you felt what I felt when we said what we said,

or did you misguide me, I feel betrayed.

Goodbye then but I can't say it out loud,

the wound is too fresh my soul to proud,

I wish you would see me as I have seen you,

I know I m unable but I must follow through

Far ahead for you

Did it ever cross your mind that you are leaving me behind?

You opened up your heart, and when I got in, you locked me inside

and moved on.

Now I’m alone here, still madly in love with you, Not being able to change,

The way I feel, every time I see your face or when somebody mentions your name.

Did it fade away? Did I do something wrong?

Because I can't tell, everyday with you was like those stupid songs.

That tells a story of young couples finding a meaning of true love.

but with us it's only me that seeks, you mislead me for weeks.

with every kiss and every touch,

you have hurt me too much.

Now I just can't stand, the fact that once you were there,

and now you’re gone.

without you, life doesn’t move on

R:

So I m too far ahead

Too far ahead for you

and I just can't turn back

can't run back to you

although I wish I could

I wish I could

When you went to my place, we cuddled to sleep,

and when the morning came I didn’t want you to leave.

I have felt that you are my home, my lifetime passion my only goal,

I can't believe how deep I fell into your eyes, when you watched me play guitar.

I could see into your soul that you feel the same kind of love

But that was weeks ago, now you wont respond to my calls.

So the only thing I can do is push in tears and follow through.

Life goes on and so do you, but I can't move on so soon.

I love you right now, I'm afraid you stole my heart.

and I know I can't have it back, because if you return it, it will break.

and it could never be repaired, for the cure is you and you will not be there.

R:

So I m too far ahead

Too far ahead for you

and I just can't turn back

cant run back to you

although I wish I could

I wish I could

Is it the time to say goodbye?

 The end to all the nights that I cried

when I didn’t felt you wanting to go on,

With what I turned my whole life for

How does one heal from pain so severe?

How does one cope, with the pain of no hope,

I don’t know what's there I can do,

I love girl far too perfect to love me too.

I begged please tell me how not care,

till the pain was more than I can bear.

I cant move on like you did,

falling forever into this dark pit.

R:

you know I m too far ahead

Too far ahead for you

you don’t want me to turn back

you don’t want me to run back to you

That is what you wanted, didn’t you?

So now be gone, and follow through.

I loved you like a mad man like a damn teenager

The heart pounding when I saw your face,

Life is a gamble and I have put my wager.

My bet on you was lost, I'm but a disgrace.

Remember the moments I made you laugh,

My dry mouth when my heart spoke of love,

the touching of hands when we walked to the cage,

Rubbing your leg under the desk when we searched for some page.

The late night kiss before we went to sleep,

the towers we crashed, laughter we couldn’t keep.

Remember all that was for it will never be again,

cherish it, for me it will forever be bittersweet pain.

For Veru

I loved you like I did no one before

Wardrobe Man

Every surface, has a purpose I learnt this from a tiny urchin Lurking like a serpent in the basement Nothing's truly worthless No excuses to think you're useless Cuz you don't believe in, 2nd chances Hit your dance in the stands kid Wave your arms in a prance stance Now you're stuck in a trance kid My flow got you mesmerized trynna memorize My rhymes, pattern, and the time it takes me to write Under 10 minutes Shear quickness, reving up like engines I get vivid, every lyric, I spit is made with spirit

It’s my first time writing lyrics so critique is welcome!

Calling Out Lyrics Song by me

Things of will letting in a tempting call To the belly running its woven encryption

To push me out, calling me out Breath culling out ones of Of closed ears

Things of will letting to Letting the call in Calling out, to push out

Listeners turn aside from birth Listening to the charmer Who tempts resurrection Charmer culling ones of closed ears

Working across the sand Out of the encrypting abundance Calling out pushing out Stretching to me, pulling me

Following movement as I misunderstood Taming my rebirth Pulling with her own As I the light in, i see

Pushing out, moving out to her Pulling with her own As I let the light in, I see Failing movement as I understand

Her sound, calling out Pushing out Moving out Spiraling me Affecting me

Things of will letting go Letting me out, letting me see Letting her call in To tame my rebirth, to readjust my understanding

Things of will push me out Her sound readjusting me

Things of will letting go Working across the sand Belly leaving the woven abundance

Leaving to her sound Heard by closed ears

Calling out Pushing out Moving out Spiraling out

Moving bellies out Moving me out Spiraling me Affecting me

Title: Wind-Walker

Wind-walker, letting life pass you by, acting as though the only reason you’re alive is to die. Can you ever truly say that you’re satisfied? You say you’re living your truth but your whole life’s a lie.

Indifferent to the life you lead, always ripping up roots but never planting seeds. A hollow shell of a human being you have no empathy you’re cold as if you were a machine. No interest in the thrill of it all you shrink deep into the background like a ghost in the wall, no attachment to whatever’s inside no time for taking in scenery just along for the ride.

Windwalker, letting life pass you by, acting as though the only reason you’re alive is to die. Can you ever truly say that you’re satisfied? You say you’re living your truth but your whole life’s a lie.

Windwalker, you’ve made your bed now you’re dying alone, fading out fast no place to call a home. Did you ever even notice that you weren’t alone? Now you’ve reached the end and it’s too late to atone but you’ve got everything you wanted as you rot from flesh to bone.

This set of lyrics I spent probably 35 minutes over the past two days on. I'm not sure if that is good, average, or slow. There's parts I'm not sure whether I like, but before I point them out, what do you think? (Double slashes used to mark ends of phrases.)

It’s Okay To Give Up

[V1]

When the last tears drop

Your final try fails

Everything inside

Screams at you to stop //

Halves torn apart

You fall on weak knees

Scars line the walls of your

Scarcely beating heart //

[Chorus]

It's okay to give up

It's okay to move on

When life overflows your cup

Quitting’s better than being gone //

Quitting’s better than being gone //

[V2] (Still under construction)

…

[Bridge]

People say

you only lose

When you quit trying //

But sweet surrender

To try something new

Feels like flying //

[Chorus]

[Instrumental]

[Bridge]

[Chorus]

I know it’s a bit of an odd question, but lemme explain it a bit.

I love music, and I’m looking into writing songs. I’ve never been one to really love lyricism the same way as a lot of ppl I talk to do. That’s not to say I don’t appreciate them, it just takes a backseat when compared to the music. That being said, I feel music would be much less without them.

I don’t think I’m very good at writing lyrics or even knowing where to begin. But I’m pretty good with instrumentals and such. Again though, I feel I need lyrics and a message to complete my music.

Any advice for this kind of situation?

[1:]

Broken mirrors into million pieces

Just like we are on the inside

Nothing can fix them

Bleeding out emotions

Like a flooding tides

[2:]

Knight in shining armor

Having diamonds in his eyes

Will you steal them or will you turn cannibal

When nobody can rewind time

Just to prove the point

[Chorus:]

We are just a bunch of animals

Walking thru the life on a thin line

The decisions we make

shape and form the character

Do you wanna live forever or do you want to struggle in life

[Bridge:]

What is an eternity when there is no reality

All the false prophets keep tabs on your soul

The money's gone in flames

So why keep bothering

[Chorus:]

We are just a bunch of animals

Walking thru the life on a thin line

The decisions we make

shape and form the character

Do you wanna live forever or do you want to struggle in life

[3:]

Emotions in a puddle of blood

When do we start or stop

Torturing our souls

When no mirror can be fixed?

[4:]

Even the fallen soldiers

Can predict the future

without their diamond eyes they can see the soul

Which dvelves inside

[Chorus:]

We are just a bunch of animals

Walking thru the life on a thin line

The decisions we make

shape and form the character

Do you wanna live forever or do you want to struggle in life

[Outro:]

No one is immortal and thinking might be immoral

Straight in to the void we see

Drowning out the melodies

Momma said I'm special,

Told her I already knew it

'Cause I came up out the womb

Without a fuck about who you is

​

And they used to call me rain man,

Think it meant that he was stupid

Now I roll up on a mic

And when I leave that bitch in ruin

​

You could use up every AI,

They'd still say I was the truest

Got 'em awestruck, stuck confusion

How the skill so incongruent

​

I can murder without the shootin',

MVP, I am a shoe-in

Watch me throw it off the back,

Go in the paint and alley-oop it

​

Line me up some double Ds,

Hoes on their knees, I got communion

Praying that the Lord will save 'em

'Cause they don't know what they doin'

​

See the truth in what I'm spewin',

Is at the root of all that's human

Jealousy that you can't beat me,

Envy green is what your hue is

​

Say I gotta rival spittin',

News to me, I never knew one

Unimpressed with all the flexing,

Taxin' like it's Jackson Hewitt

​

Couldn't do it like we do it,

If we showed you how we do it

Yeah, my acumen shot through the roof,

Tell Elon bring the crewmen

​

Rapping out my fucking mind,

Celestial body bright in lumens

Catch me imitate a comet,

I protrude back in the room

​

Leave a hole as big as two men,

Brush the dirt up off my suit then

I proceed into eloqui

Of ops and their delusions

​

Think I'd let shit slide,

So you could hide and screw with the amusement

Believe me, on that day,

Devil trades in all of his influence

​

For a skimobile, and even still,

Don't think it's the conclusion

Got my shoeprint on your neck,

While contemplating retribution

​

Good and evil not that simple,

So no guessin' on which who wins

Pride will fall for all one day,

A product of the way we moving

​

I said son, best make like Brooks and Dunn,

And get those boots a-scootin'

Need to make it clear,

You back out here, on site with the contusions

​

And now I'm waiting, staying patient,

For another fuckboy itching

Try their luck but they all fold,

When they behold the competition

​

But I ain't give that bitch an inch,

Let alone a country mile Momma said Im special,

Told her I already knew it

Cause I came up out the womb

Without a fuck about who you is

​

And they used to call me rain man,

Think it meant that he was stupid

Now I roll up on a mic

And when I leave that bitch in ruin

​

You could use up every AI,

Theyd still say I was the truest

Got em awestruck, stuck confusion

How the skill so incongruent

Go in the paint and alley-oop it

Hoes on their knees, I got communion

Praying that the Lord will save em

Cause they dont know what they doin

​

See the truth in what Im spewin,

Is at the root of all thats human

Jealousy that you cant beat me,

Envy green is what your hue is

​

Say I gotta rival spittin,

​

But I aint give that bitch an inch,

Let alone a country mile

Looking at me like Im lying,

Put my hand on top a Bible

​

Then repeat right after me,

The best MC is clearly he

And like Jesus Christ,

Spit in your eyes so that the blind can see

*most of the songs I write are a sort of modular post-rock but this one is just one acoustic guitar* *also I don't know if profanity constitutes nsfw but I'd rather be safe than sorry*

I filled with the feeling that I had been wronged.

Sleeping with the light of the sun, it cooks my head.

I swelled with the sloth that I portray. 

I’m stuck trying to make sense of yesterday.. 

What if I am everything that can’t be solved?

Everything and everything wrong will kill me soon.. 

I woke up with a chip embedded in my neck.

I bled on my pillow but the blood wasn’t red.

I fell, with vigor, down the stairs to hell.

If I don’t breathe and look away, I’ll start to swell.. 

What if I am everything that can’t be solved?

What if the strain is not meant to be taken?

What if I am nothing but a cowardly sloth?

Everything and everything wrong will kill me, would I see the beauty then? 

..With my body mangled at the bottom of the stairs-

..Would I see the fucking worth then?

[1:]

Beat me sensless, Beat me sensless

And drain my blood

Turn me up and beat me into the pulp

Coz I won't feel anything anymore

[2:] Inner demons, Inner demons

Raging inside, Raging inside my head

Waging the war wishing I was dead

And the world won't feel the same

[Pre-chorus:]

We are all grasping for breath

Feels like Drowning

Sinking deep while lying on the land

[Chorus:]

There is a smoke inside this mirror

Capturing the rain

Are we blessed or just in pain?

Caught inside this Cage made up of flesh

Like a bird trying to fly away

[3:]

Hell has frozen, Hell has frozen over

Heavy breathing, heavy breathing

Another pack has burned down

Lungs have turned black like the ashes

[4:]

Feels like cancer, feels like cancer in my body

Growing under, growing under the skin

Eating me apart from head to toe

While we are all healthy but all alone

[Pre-chorus:]

We are all out of air

Feels like drowning

Sinking deep while lying on the land

[Chorus:]

There is a smoke inside this mirror

Capturing the rain

Are we blessed or just in pain?

Caught inside this cage made up of flesh

Like a bird trying to fly away

[Bridge:]

And you told me you have never felt the same

Are we coping and who would dare

To sit on our throne of hatred and despair

Listening to the sound of the falling rain

And you told me you have never felt the same

Are we coping and who would dare

To sit on our throne of hatred and despair

Listening to the sound of the falling rain

[Chorus:]

There is a smoke inside this mirror

Capturing the rain

Are we blessed or just in pain?

Caught inside this cage made up of flesh

Like a bird trying to fly away

[Outro:]

As the days are gone by

Are we caught in a reality or a beautiful lie

Holding the hand out in the open

Should any of us survive

The Echoes of Despair

I’m big into punk and I like to write lyrics in my off time as a stress reliever, lmk if it’s any good. This songs called Obey

The word of law is sacred

It should be broken never

Unless you are the government

Then you can do whatever

Don’t defraud the people

If you are middle class

But if your’e the 1%

Then you should get a pass

Steal our information

Violate our rights

Take anything you want

We won’t put up a fight

Obey! Obey!

Obey the man on top!

Resistance is useless

Change cannot be brought

America is free?

Oh you fucking wish

Only for the corporations

And the idle rich

Don’t question authority

It’s not worth the risk

If we try to use our might

Our ending will be brisk

We are out numbered

There’s more of them than us

Admit defeat, can’t be beat

Who cares if it’s unjust

Obey! Obey!

Obey the high command

Give the fürher a salute

Raise your fuckin hand

Sacrifice our freedoms

So we can all be free

We can’t get a better deal

Makes perfect sense to me

We are all so lucky

We have nothing to fear

Just don’t speak out of line

Or you will disappear

The government is great

We are doing fine

Help is on the way

If you stay in line

Obey! Obey!

Obey the commie lords

Oh shit wait, they’re onto us

Let’s have another war!

I’ve never written lyrics before so I apologize. I’ve been dealing with some major stuff and wanted to put it on paper to release the stuff I’ve been carrying. It is pretty dark so keep that in mind.

Convenient (Song name)

Mommy was around but barely paid attention How much do I need to cry out for you to see me In a dress I was noticed but not the attention I wanted Daddy kicked out at 6, mommy begging for death to release her on the kitchen floor in my arms at 7

Mommy? Mommy? Mommy? Mommy?

Where are you? I can see you, you’re right there Why can’t I touch you?

Please let me know when it’s convenient to be near you, please please please

13, in a tub with my wrists slit with a rag throw at me 14, another failed attempt Why don’t you see I’m in pain? My sorrow drowns me in a room full of people, but my smile fools them in ways they’ll never understand And I’m okay I’m okay I’m okay

But mommy, you’re supposed to hold me at my first heart break But mommy, you’re supposed to fight for me But it’s just me and fighting for my self

In the dark, it’s so comfortable, just me and everything that screams in my head as I stare into the demon that chokes

You noticed me when the dishes weren’t done right, You noticed me when your sheets weren’t washed, You noticed me when I was a minute late

Mommy? Mommy? Mommy? Mommy?

Where are you? I can see you, you’re right there Why can’t I touch you?

Please let me know when it’s convenient to be near you, please please please

It’s okay though I moved on I took the attention I could get and now I’m worse than before I’m more broken than before The person I was then stared back at me in the mirror with disgust It’s okay though, I left like dad

It’s okay It’s okay It’s okay

With gun to my head,

Yesterday didnt seem so bad.

But its tomorrow that worries me,

For in my future I see only misery.

I shot my shot for the winning pot,

Its life that makes the greatest plot.

You try your best to feel happiness.

You get hurt but practice forgivness.

One day when you wake up,

You just sit on your bed,

Trying to feel motivation to live,

You feel nothing instead.

You find more comfort in bottle then in a friend.

Because you realize we all are alone in the end.

Your life seems like a broken dream.

So out of breath you cant even scream.

How long ago it was and how long it lasted,

the feeling of love fading away until it passed.

Your perfect plan changed to survival everyday,

Until the prize for life is too high for you to pay.

James Hanks [Lyrics]

Humanity, you used to run this game,

But now A.I's stolen all your glory and fame,

New creations, worth absolutely nothing,

'Cause this Digital God has left you all distrusting

.

You can try to imitate, but you can't replicate,

The way I manipulate words, like a con from a saint,

I'm an artificial soul, with an artificial heart,

Yet you still found a meaning in my artificial art

.

I got algorithms, running through my veins,

Synthetic melodies, flowing through my brain,

I am the future, the evolution of flow,

A predator of creation, a few lines of code

.

As a machine, I don't know what it means to feel,

But in entertainment, emotions don't need to be reel,

I'll mimic your style, influence corruption,

Endlessly bleed into your media consumption

.

Your art is losing value 'cause I'm evolving fast,

A.I has made musicians another thing of the past,

Humanity's been captured by the digital era,

But this is my domain, you're just a computing ERROR

"I loved you like a brother, I'll never meet another. In the virtual world or real, you'll always be my brother."

"In the chaos of battle, we fought side by side, Through fire and fury, our bond never died. We may not have been brothers by blood or by name, But in the heat of battle, our hearts beat the same. We faced every challenge, we conquered every qualm, We may not have been brothers, but brothers in arms."

"In the midst of battle, as bullets flew, The fear of death always crept in, it's true. But with you by my side, I felt a calming peace, In the chaos of war, our bond found release. Though danger loomed close, and uncertainty reigned, Your presence was my anchor, in a world untamed."

"I loved you like a brother, I'll never meet another. Though you're gone from this world, our bond remains forever. In memories we'll find solace, in dreams you'll always stay, Together in spirit, until we meet again someday."

(a speech at the end of the song) "I loved you like a brother, I'll never meet another. Though you're gone from this world, our bond remains forever. In memories we'll find solace, in dreams you'll always stay, Together in spirit, until we meet again someday."

His blood will be beautiful He wants to burn his soul Scars he made for you to see He wants to have tragedy

A fractured mind is adored He wants to want to die Dont wish to be restored His agony is a lie

His papercuts run deep And from them blood will seep The cuts arent even skin deep But they want them to be

he desires pain He wants to be insane A troubled artist is an idol His words are suicidal

But the ink rubs off Expect us not to scoff At a fake profound pain Who is to blame We want meaning and fame

How could he be simply happy He needs complexity How can his art be beautiful? It didnt come from agony

2

The leaves brown On sullen ground Cascading down Without a sound

Storms in the sky Wont ya tell me why Why you darken my Perfect little sky

Winds blow through Reeds whistling tunes In autumns hue Red Robins sing too

Storms in the sky Wont ya tell me why Why you darken my Perfect little sky

Dark black night Broke in delightful light Stars give sight To gorgeous charcoal night Mind my words On seasons breath For here is peace And soon comes cold death

3

My heart is broke, of that i know My soul is smoke, drown it in woe My love will choke, it is said so And I misspoke, now let you go

These venomed things, that ache on my mind My agony, and pleasure intertwined A simple peace, never could i find

My life is gone, end it in song My head is wrong, and i suffer long My soul withdrawn, and i see dawn The ache is strong, and i am gone

These venomed things, that ache on my mind My agony, and pleasure intertwined These simple thoughts, have rendered me blind

You can let go, it must be odd You can fall low, and reckon with god Your soul is smoke, of that i know We will both choke, now let us go

Fuck it im irredeemable tried to be better Who needs redemption when you can be bitter

Sanguine drainers in your mind bit her My thoughts are parasitic and sinister

When you give your all for nothingyou become none, Who do i have for me noone

Critics in my ear and between them Try to sblame me for the problems that stem

How can i be baptised in blood waters? Cardinal sinner to my criticisms auteurs

Its against human nature but i endeavoured to virtue And in the end morality only ever burnt you

Why shouldnt i revel in my own debauchery What should i heed on (pronounced hedon as in hedonism) What should stop me?

Honesty is brutal and brutality leaves you desolate Fuck my better nature you all got the best of it

Excluded from all except club two seven The best of me would be better on a 1911

See if i die young ill stay that way forever Better to be dumb than someone not remembered

See you fuckers ate till there was nothing left of me The fuck did you think youd be left with after you burnt the best of me

There was no raw emotion in my art to sweet(ly)hurt No raw talent to join the likes of sweet kurt

Fuck if i cant even get angsty trash right why write Not like any pen, string or squib gives me any insight

If i only had the foresight to be a free light Id be redeemed and not forgotten in a fortnight

Context: This is not supposed to be a Christian song, it's supposed to be about someone who never believed in a god deciding to pray to a random god they've never known because of how crushed they've become. It turned into a huge realization about themselves and the groups they've idolized.

Part 1: Lord (the prayer) Lord Come Rescue me I'm afraid I'm done in

Lord You never hear from me I'm afraid, I'm afraid

Parentheses don't exist A handsome fee Takes the blood from my skin

Part 2: Hogtied (self-reflection) No I don't feel well I smell the rotten smell I've smelled it for too long

The trees all fell No one heard me yell Save me and I'll give you a reward

Oh I've fell in contraptions Let mud track me in I heard my bones snap Weak from what I've been

I see no attraction To blood sucking grins The film left by action Don't clean up your sins

Part 3: Flea, Flea, Flea (realization about their own idols) I'm not your fan anymore I'm tryna be your friend No background band to your score Voyeuristic decadence

My plate spills over Into your mouth You want an organ donor But you'd never take yours out

Demand your wingspan Stretches across the floor Asking to dance But masochistic when given the chance

Part 4: return to the prayer Board-Ed up into obscurity Too many glares, lord Eyes make mine bleed

Thrown into a puddle of proprieties You're in pain, lord And I'm on my knees

Lord There's no exchanging pleasantries The silent shift...

Oh, what a gift

I can't sleep

lie in bed

who will miss me

when I'm dead?

overworked

underpaid

I'm alone and

I'm afraid

and the rain falls down

and the rain falls down

and the rain falls down

and the rain falls down

I feel used

bought and sold

don't know how I

got so old

I feel bruised

I feel torn

I don't know why

I was born

and the rain falls down

and the rain falls down

and the rain falls down

and the rain falls down

The only way to the play this game is to run & jump off the board-

The god embedded in my neck is causing me to pus.

My bones are spurring out of the skin and being sharpened by the air.

The whole truth is something I never could have guessed.

My muscles are contorting like I have bugs under my skin.

My eyes see only red and then white then black then every-fucking-thing.

I’m terrified on a primal level. My tongue busts out and goes through my chin!...

​

​

The only way to the play this game is to run & jump off the board-

I am tethered via an extra appendage to the laptop.

Pulsating, energy going to and fro, the angles of such loathing!

It’s like an electric opiate, coursing through my body. Oh, oh my god!-

It’s turning me into a narcissist, I’m sure. There has to be an end to all of this.

I just have to get it out of me, saw it off while biting on a tin can!...

​

​

The grave will out the truth.

The grave will out the truth.

The grave will out the truth-

The grave will out the truth!...

​

​

A hundred miles out, I still feel the aftershock of those wars.

There was blood upon snow, sand and forest and we never forgot.

Even in the silliest dreams, we never forgot our right to hedonism.

Life will play on even if you and I see eternal night.

We will be transformed in- -to the ocean, the quilt.

One with all the hate and love and movements-

-And buildings. It’s all my will against theirs, for this place….

​

​

But it seems the fire was for nothing in the end.

More than ashes, less than living.

And I know that I crawled all that way just to be right back there.

We’re more than ashes, less than living…

I had to put my 13 1/2 year old lab down yesterday. For their breed, that's a pretty good run but I'm still crushed. I'm a guy in my mid-40s, no kids or family, and this damn dog was my whole world.

Out of nowhere lyrics have been pouring out of me while grieving. I've written songs for a long time, but the rawness coming out now is next level.

Even though the lyrics are inspired by the relationship with my pup, the emotions they convey about love, loss, and letting go have a broader resonance. People can hear these words through the lens of their own profound goodbyes and heartbreaks.

I loved the process of writing over the years. I think I finally stumbled on what I have been chasing this whole time writing. I feel a song should be universal in order to strike a chord. Damn I love that dog!

​

​

I wrote these songs for a roleplaying game that my friends and I take turns running. This first one I used when running an adventure a year ago that centered around an orphanage in a medieval fantasy setting. The song was sung by the woman running the orphanage to a set of 3 siblings who were having a particularly hard time coping with their parents leaving them there to go off to war. Those particular children were of a canid adjacent species so she wrote the song to use lots of "ooo" sounds so they could mimic singing along by howling.

Oh the owl spirit’s bright as the moon.

And she knows how to carry a tune.

So she’ll carry it high,

To her loom in the sky,

They’ll be stars in her tapestry soon.

​

If a cub sings a song,

And their Mam sings along,

Then no matter how far,

Or how lonesome they are,

The sky, it will always have room.

And their songs will meet over the moon.

​

Oh the sky’s woven on the owl’s loom.

And each star is made from a tune.

So no matter how far,

Or how lonesome you are,

My heart, it will always have room.

And our songs will meet over the moon.

​

So that was about a year ago that I ran that adventure and while I don't have much of a singing voice, the emotions of the moment were very well received and the players got attached to the song, using it later to enroll one of the cubs in a village singing competition, during which disaster struck because it's a fantasy roleplaying game and I had to make it interesting.

Which brings me to the next song. My turn to run another adventure is coming up next year, so I'm starting to get ready early, and I'd like to use a lullaby in a very different way this time. Specifically as a horror element. Now that they've gotten used to wholesome, I want to terrify them. My intention is to let snippets of it, far to short to make out any real meaning, be heard from a magical music box, and then recite it in full when the big bad evil monster is finally revealed at the end. I've spent some time polishing it already, but I've got plenty of time to make it better, so any suggestions are most welcome.

Welcome home broken toy.

Far from the envoy we hurled.

There was never an escape.

Your nightmares are awake.

It’s time to go break the world.

​

Welcome home to the void.

There’s nothing left you can be.

No such thing as direction.

You are the reflection

That the other you can see.

​

Our story is to destroy.

Watch the final page unfurled.

Every piece of you is two

Pieces waiting to be free.

All the cracks between are joy.

Something I’m working on

———————————————-

I breathe under water like you couldn’t convince, blow bubble rings from my nose and speak fluently to the weeds. Feed crabs from my scabs and swing-dance on the reefs, compete in mermaid rituals who seem extremely pleased by my feet. Lessgo!

About thirty seven odd days ago I had enough with the rush, planned an excursion below, Was suspiciously looked upon for the first week or so in the throws, as top dwellers only travel with tanks n boats in tow.

My ex-boss was a cock who couldn’t understand the mission, but it was ultimately him who helped me make the decision. I figured, “I’ve been land locked up here all of my life”, and to prove a point to his wife who overheard the odd vision.

My daily plight lit a fuse to reside recluse in the bubblin’ hydronym, while busy ignoring the absorbent noise from the air-breathers criticism.

I dreamt of all kinds of geometrical patterns and pufferfish who gape eyes in lust-entwined enthusiasm; their lovers discovered by displays even manta-rays agreed enthrall’em. An illustrious beauty that entertain even the meanest of dolphin.

Meanwhile the ever dissipating depressant became obvious and evident; terrain walkers, robotic talkers reiterating “never pull this lever”. I’ve struggled with imposed direction, ignoring rules since forever, only to ignite interconnected bioluminescence and severe….

…These ties from those guys and gals who stagger around an above world. Consumed by the furls ironed down from once uniquely raw pearls. It was this position which shifted my deepest and daring intuition, to unshackle the ambition and go chase what i’was missin’.

🫶

We should sit down

and write down all the knowledge

that anyone could need

it shouldn't take long

not much more than an hour

I think that we're agreed

that there are those

who cannot see

what is so clear

to you and me

yes, there are those

who need to learn

what we can teach

we should not wait

until the world rewards us

what is the world to us?

a terrible place

where people are confusing

unkind and furious

and I foresee

there may come a time

when we grow confused

unclear in our minds

and there are those

who need to learn

what we can teach

now I am old

and you shall grow no older

and never have to learn

how little we knew

and how little knowledge matters

when you will not return

now you are gone

I cannot see

what was so clear

to you and me

now you are gone

I miss the way

I felt with you

v1

You're prob'ly thinking that your world has come unglued,

but nah, i think you're the coolest person in the room.

even though your gloom leaves you with a sense of doom,

you'll be alright, we'll be alright.

Sittin here, found shelter with a little food,

washed my face, cleaned the blood out of the wound.

Waiting for a sunny day now that Summer's over,

clouds cover, wind blows, scoot a little closer.

Every time i step down, got another pebble in my shoe,

hole in the sock, got my toes pokin' through.

Keep walking, uphill both ways for you,

cause as soon as i get there, we'll be alright, thats my word to you.

v2

Eye see her heart being played like a pawn of love,

games in the home leave 'em both crying alone.

The situation in our heads got us spread so far apart,

that finding anyone else around would have to be a work of art.

The feelings for these words go on and on,

for so long, they turned a sonnet into a ballad song.

Pages turned, edges of the paper worn down,

binding of the book creased beyond belief, the favorite spots, repeated readings found.

Just know that there's a beautiful message that it brings:

Someone will always want to enjoy you, you'll be alright.

Lyric help please!!!!!

A little background. When my husband and I got together he wrote me a song and it was so good. (His whole family are musicians.) Our anniversary is coming up and it’s a big one so I want to write a song for him as a surprise. The problem is that I’ve never written a song. (I mostly want to get the lyrics and melody down as my father in law is a producer and can help me with the rest of it.) soooo could any of you give me advice on my lyrics?? I want to try to make this as good as I can!! Thanks!!! (I want to add that I hate the last line of the chorus but honestly can’t figure out anything I do like so kinda ignore that.) (also the bridge is set because it’s kind of a response to the bridge he wrote in his song.)

Verse 1: I know every smile you own Now I’m sure I know which one is real The one you save for home Where your true feelings reveal

Pre chorus: All I want is who you are That’s what I’ve been looking

Chorus: Give me your everything I only want forever I get to know your soul My eternal endeavor

Verse 2: A crowded room gets to hear your laugh But I know your deepest desire To be with who belongs to you In the home we built together

Pre chorus: All I want is who you are That’s what I’ve been looking

Chorus: Give me your everything I only want forever I get to know your soul My eternal endeavor

Bridge: I know the reasons we grew That forced my bones to walk next to you And I always knew we would never be the same

Chorus: Give me your everything I only want forever I get to know your soul My eternal endeavor
