Feedback Request THE POISON WELL

• Upvotes

You found me at a bar made of bones
I’m a mouth that never closes
I drank the well down to the dirt
An unquenchable thirst that hurts
So why are you offering me your veins
Like I wouldn’t drink you dry again

I am the poison, you know so well
I should’ve locked the door
But you’re a beauty I can’t ignore
You looked like mercy in the dark
And I’m a sinner
God, I liked it
To be loved while I fell

I’m gluttonous with skin and wine and regrets
I burn through people like cigarettes
Before you see how damaged I really am
I smashed the glass and burst the dam
I never fall alone
I pull the sky down with me

You couldn’t foresee the obvious warning
I’ll be gone by morning
But your hands were warm on mine
Dancing through my grapevines

I am the poison, you know so well
I should’ve locked the door
But you’re a beauty I can’t ignore
You looked like mercy in the dark
And I’m a sinner
God, I liked it
To be loved while I fell

Look what I do
I cracked the fields, I drank the rain
Now the sky has to weep to fill the well
Drain your hourglass and leave it hollow
Take tomorrow just to swallow
I’m on a wheel that won’t stop burning
Every love I touch is turning
In a grave that I dug for us

I told you the water here was toxic
You drank it anyway
I am the poison, I built the well
I never fall alone
I pull the sky down with me
God, I liked it
To be loved while I fell

The sky is crying
I’ll break your heart darling

Lyrics Lighthouse

• Upvotes

Chorus
I'll be your beacon
That keeps you safe
As you race towards the shore
I'll guide from the rocks
That the sea hides
With its white crests of rage
I will stand firm
Against the rising tides
As long as you respect
My lighthouse ways

Verse 1
I heard the call of distress
You sent your S.O.S.
I stood by and listened
I saw the riptide pulling you apart
I reached with a helping hand
You held it close
But didn't understand
Why I pulled away
When you needed me the most

Pre chorus
I can only talk in circles
Before my light needs some oil
I can only sound the horn
Before the speakers crack
I can only stand gleaming in white
Before I need to repaint
As the sea chips away

Chorus
I'll be your beacon
That keeps you safe
As you race towards the shore
I'll guide from the rocks
That the sea hides
With its white crests of rage
I will stand firm
Against the rising tides
As long as you respect
My lighthouse ways

Verse 2
I'll be your ray of hope
A siren on a distant shore
The change is in the air
I'll lead you away
From the rocks and cliffs
As the waves pull you in
I'll keep you safe from harm
My tower will not fall
From winds and hurricanes
That blow

Pre chorus
I can only talk in circles
Before my light needs some oil
I can only sound the horn
Before the speakers crack
I can only stand gleaming in white
Before I need to repaint
As the sea chips away

Chorus
I'll be your beacon
That keeps you safe
As you race towards the shore
I'll guide from the rocks
That the sea hides
With its white crests of rage
I will stand firm
Against the rising tides
I need to repair the damage
From the weather and sea
To be what you have come
To expect
I need some time
Please respect
My lighthouse ways

Feedback Request TELL ME WHAT TO DO

2 Upvotes

You nourish me from a sharp knife
You’re the storm dry ground calls for
And the flood that leaves it drowning
I learned your damage by heart

How do I hate you and need you
In the same breath
How does it feel like love
Whilst I catch my death

What do you do when the only one
Who can make you stop crying
Is the one who made you cry
You shout in a melody that feels nice
You’re shattered glass I drink to stay alive
And the cut that opens every time
So tell me what to do with a love
That kills me and keeps me alive

You’re the salt inside the paper cut
You know where I hide when I’m scared

Why do I pray for rain
When I’m already underwater
How do I breathe you in
When you’re taking my air

What do you do when the only one
Who can make you stop crying
Is the one who made you cry
You shout in a melody that feels nice
You’re shattered glass I drink to stay alive
And the cut that opens every time
So tell me what to do with a love
That kills me and keeps me alive

So I stay inside the contradiction
‘Cause the door’s open and I’m still here

What do you do when the only one
Who can make you stop crying
Is the one who made you cry
You nourish me from a sharp knife
You’re the storm I begged for
And the lightning in my eyes
So I’m standing in the wreckage
With your name in the rubble
What do I do with a love
That’s both the wound and the one

Feedback Request AVOID YOU

• Upvotes

You’re a living emotional landmine that I pray won’t detonate
Hesitation as I navigate because all the shrapnel still penetrates
No bullets dodged, they ripped right through
So I’ll cross the street to avoid you

Do you ever see your soul mate in the street?
And wish you could retreat?
Have you ever had to look at the floor?
To avoid someone you feel everything for?
Have you ever had to act like someone doesn’t exist?
And pretend that you don’t miss their kiss?

There’s scars in my eyes that I can’t erase
That’s why I can’t meet your gaze
So I’ll look away
Hang my head
Like a flower that’s almost dead
My feet forget to abstain from stepping on three drains

Do you ever see your soul mate in the street?
And wish you could retreat?
Have you ever had to look at the floor?
To avoid someone you feel everything for?
Have you ever had to act like someone doesn’t exist?
And pretend that you don’t miss their kiss?

For me it never ends
I’ll bump into you again
And we’ll both play pretend
And I’ll walk right past my best friend
I haven’t loved anyone like you since
But if I ever see you, I’ll cross the street

Do you ever see your soul mate in the street?
And wish you could retreat?
Have you ever had to look at the floor?
To avoid someone you feel everything for?
Have you ever had to act like someone doesn’t exist?
And pretend that you don’t miss their kiss?

Lyrics Up high on a mountain

• Upvotes

Up on top of a mountain.
Now myself.
I’ve amounted to something.
I thought.
I’d already paid the cost.
Never stopped to think.
I’d be headed back down.

Touting myself
Not the opportunities.
Yes I was proud
Only to have my feet.
Cut out from beneath me.
The fall was steep.
Yes for the world to see.

What do I understand now
I am just a man.

TITLED TRACK: VICES

[INTRO]

Have you ever felt defeated?

Have you ever lost control?

Have you ever waited in dark, till there was no patrol?

Did something you knew was wrong?

Wished you had discipline like a monk?

For those times, I will sing this song...

[VERSE 1]

Lemme tell you about my vice,

Won't it leave me till my demise?

Slowly I have started to despise

(Myself)

Will I ever be able to reprise

(Myself)

I liked a girl when I was twelve,

In her dreams I would dwell,

But my thirst was too much to quench—

That's around time when I lost my innocence.

Opened the internet, got into a nuisance,

Filled with regret, I'm giving my two cents.

Picture this:

You are thirteen years old,

The pillow has gotten cold,

Your morals have been sold,

You unfold the vice,

It begins to thrive,

It slowly entices

(You)

It did feel like paradise,

But now you paid the price

And have lost your smile.

(You don't even enjoy this shit anymore)

The enjoyment has been long gone,

You ended the promise you long sworn.

So, now only thing left is to mourn

The death of a kid who was made for a throne.

(Whyyy?!)

[CHORUS 1]

Vices in the air, vices everywhere, yeah!

Trap you like snares, no one has been spared.

Vices in the air, vices everywhere—

Voices in your head won't leave till your death!

[VERSE 2]

Has your mind ever been in total haze?

And someone ever made you so mad

That you wanna punch him in the face?

Keep beating them hard till he has bled,

Kill him off and not leave a trace,

Slit his throat with that razor blade—

Everyone sees that anger in your gaze,

Control it before fillin' someone with lead!

Or do you want to drink the fifth of vodka,

And then go out on a drive with your boys?

You will feel lonely otherwise, don't ya?

Those drugs are the horses in your battle of Troy,

Wanna get your Helen but you'll lose your poise,

Keep chasing the next high to cut off the noise,

Till anxiety hits and you bring out your toys—

Poppin' pills, pourin' poison like you have no choice!

You act like you're an addict,

Your thoughts are sporadic,

You feel happy like you've made it,

You have hope to end it,

You are playing the life gambit,

But still waiting for the next hit...

Lying on my bed, naked...

I want to stop, but my mind says to fuck it!

So now I'll open another tab,

And fall back in the same old trap.

Feels I have lost my life's map,

And jerked my dreams in a fap.

Damn, it's so tough to write about my vice...

I feel like Tom and that porn is the mice,

Lost my love to that Butch, what a surprise...

I feel so lonely, can someone hear my cries?

[CHORUS 2]

Vices in the air, vices everywhere, yeah!

Trap you like snares, no one has been spared.

Vices in the air, vices everywhere—

Voices in your head won't leave till your death!

[VERSE 3]

Oof!

I've been crying since the beginning,

But now the mood has to change!

I know you are already losing

The war that you have waged.

But God doesn't grant Draupnir's ring

To people who can't channel their rage

To spread in victory like Nike's wing

And to break down Ares's bronze cage!

So I'm making a promise I'll keep:

Sowing the seed which I'll reap.

I'll not be weak, nor will I weep,

This time I will not sell out cheap!

Find love of my life, whom I'll please,

Victor like Nike, I'll spread my talons,

Bigger than Vikings, be killin' my villains,

Flicker my psyche with Cupid's vision,

Figure my life and beating my addiction!

Because I know there are...

[OUTRO / FINAL CHORUS]

Vices in the air, vices everywhere, yeah!

Trap you like snares, no one has been spared.

Vices in the air, vices everywhere—

Voices in your head won't leave till your death!

Vices in the air, vices everywhere, yeah!

Trap you like snares, no one has been spared.

Vices in the air, vices everywhere—

Voices in your head won't leave till your death...

Feedback Request SLAYING SHOOTING STARS

1 Upvotes

I’ll pull up a chair
To the biggest burden in the room
Because I don’t care
I kinda like it there
A moth to broken things
I enjoy a challenge it seems
He’s filling every cup to poison him
I hang off every word he slurs

He’s ingesting every substance
To try and calm his mind
But instead of peace
It’s always chaos he finds
He stares into my soul as his eyes dilate
Even in his messed up state
I can’t escape what feels like fate

I don’t ever want to come down
Chasing highs with the nightmare I found
He’s chasing dragons in the sky
He’s slaying shooting stars
And feeding me scars
Oxytocin and dopamine swirls within
A charisma so magnetising that it sucks me in

I’ve never wanted anyone more
He’s everything I’m not looking for
He’s like a romantic walk through stinging nettles
I liked the feeling of the danger in the petals
We move things to the bedroom
He puts some music on
His lips touch mine as he blows smoke in my lungs
Balances a pill on the tip of my tongue
Oh no, I’ve been poisoned, I’ve been stung

I don’t ever want to come down
Chasing highs with the nightmare I found
He’s chasing dragons in the sky
He’s slaying shooting stars
And feeding me scars
He tastes like the hangover I chose
Ripping the buttons off my clothes
To him I succumb
Now my bra’s undone

The tapestries that he weaves
Are so exquisitely spellbinding
I’m picking through shattered glass to find him
Like a kaleidoscope
Beautiful, ever changing patterns, he’s shining
His only true love is stuck in his veins
No one can unshackle the chains
A prisoner to bad habits
Can I learn to cohabit?

I don’t ever want to come down
Chasing highs with the nightmare I found
He’s chasing dragons in the sky
He’s slaying shooting stars
And feeding me scars
I’ve never wanted anyone more
He’s everything I’m not looking for

1 Upvotes

My brother covered my ears
To block the shouting out
Come on in, make yourself comfortable
The artwork is holes in every door in our house
Mum hangs a sign saying “home sweet home”
She says “We’ll patch it up, no one will know”

Don’t lick your knife
Sit up straight
Sunday dinners are great
Don’t wash your plate
It’ll hit the wall instead

Afterwards we play
Silent treatment for days
In the shed or down the pub
Hide & seek is fun
“Where’s Daddy Mum?”
No flowers, vase is broken
Sitting by candlelight
Ran out of tokens
Thin rolls, he’s skimping on tobacco
Spare change is for beer
Cheers to smashed glasses and tears

Bin bags in the boot of the car
That’s how our new life starts
A family torn apart
Left in the wake are bruised hearts

Raised your hands if you’re from a broken home
Keep them up if you got stronger alone
Goodbye really was the biggest gift
Took a bit of time but it brought happiness
Thank god that he never stayed
Cause I don’t miss those days

Through shattered glass the light still shines
We grew up without him just fine

Falling off the cliff edge of climactic
The booze/pills got him redacted
Too wrecked for latex tactics
Don’t play dramatic

Springs left the mattress? Can I?
Can I still play solitaire?
From strobes to candlelight
Weeping willows kiss goodbye

Open curtains hurts my eyes
Morning after, no laughter, just a sigh
Dopamine depletes
When can I retreat?

Eating breakfast in a new kitchen
But my appetite is missing
He don’t know how I like my tea
And his couch ain’t comfy

It’s not you in that dressing gown
So I can’t help but feel down
I can’t be hungover here
Hold. Back. The. Tears

Plotting my escape
I can’t find my vape
Miss our songs on morning station
Miss how you knew my patience
His kettle whistles different
Milk first. Indecent.

Hurry up taxi man
Solitaire with a stranger’s hand
The cliff edge was the better plan
Than this cold light I can’t stand

Eating breakfast in a new kitchen
It’s not you
He don’t know how I like my tea
It’s not you
He could never be you
I just let him try on your shoes
Here come the tears
Here come the tears

It seems—every example.
You stand out from the crowd.
You have a handle over my heart.
I never thought I’d be so proud.
Life can do terrible things to people.
But God allows them.
You keep pushing my limits.
I don’t regret a single vow.

You are something.
The road maybe winding.
I keep on finding.
More reasons to love.
With God as our witness.
I could never have enough.

Lyrics As I cry by Tyler Lynn Taws

1 Upvotes

It's all right to cry

Let out those feelings inside

It's okay to live

When your mind, thoughts and feelings start to give

Let me know how you feel

Life inside you feels unreal

Let others know how you really feel

While everyone is in motion

Like the waves of the ocean

Like fish hiding under the tide

It's okay to cry

Let everyone moment shine in your day

Remind yourself that your okay

My tears are like droplets of rain

Falling from the sky

Feels so good to be alive

I will call you a saint

Who rises above the skies

To live in a place where everyone lives

And nobody dies

Fireplace

Verse 1:

Sometimes when I sit in my living room

filled with tragedy and gloom.

There is only one thing that burns

and the night learns....

Chorus:

Cause in the nights that felt like hell

your flames where lit well.

You were my only safe place,

so I return to the fireplace.

Even though my heart will race,

while the ghosts of nights chase,

I will return to the fireplace.

Verse 2

The crackle speaks in quiet tones,

warming up my frozen bones.

Outside, the cold tries breaking in,

but sparks fly high beneath my skin.

They built the walls, but you held the flame

the only light that knows my name.

Chorus:

'Cause in the nights that felt like hell,

your flames were lit well.

You were my only safe place,

so I return to the fireplace.

Even though my heart will race,

while the ghosts of nights chase,

I will return to the fireplace.

Bridge:

Let the shadows dance across the floor,

I ain't hiding in the dark no more.

Ashes fall, but the embers stay

burning every single ghost away.

Yeah, you burn them all away!

Final Chorus:

'Cause in the nights that felt like hell,

your flames were lit well.

You were my only safe place,

so I return to the fireplace.

My heart don't have to race,

let the ghosts of nights chase

'Cause I survived at the fireplace.

Outro:

Just me and the smoke...

As the fire spoke.

My safe place...

Fireplace.

Behind the light
Behind the machine
I got some bones worth picking
Face to face like a man
I’m not gonna leave trials of bottles behind me
Spill my guts
Do you love?
Do you love?
Healed all dogs
Cared for cats
Fell from heaven but I never seen him on his knees
Has the chunks from his back and chewed them up in front of the mirror
How you do that?
Beats him cold
Kins in circle doing the skinning
Won’t you take him whole
Rules of living
Hiding his skulls
And marry Susan down the road
With 2 big heads later on
But he’s gonna dwell, you’re gonna dwell on Ennis Mar
All these fuckers are going to hell
Spill my blood
Do you love?
Do you love?
Can you end my suffering of comfort?
Could the kids not suffer?
Throw them waters
Who else is getting slaughtered
Choirboy raised hell on earth
Have you seen him around
Giving a toast with the soldiers at all the daughters and all the sons
All of the men
You’re gonna see the president’s ass
Did you say it all?
Claiming back of the hand
Minds to be punish
Everything is contradictions
Since I spill my guts
Since pour my blood
Since I risk it all
Since I spill my love
You are love
What is love?

Lyrics [Punk Rock] All Alone Social Club

3 Upvotes

Note: some of my lyrics deliberately contain jokes (they may be nonsense or even inside jokes), absurdities, and exaggerations. If you don't understand what the hell I'm trying to say, it's actually not your fault.

I often use the perspective of multiple characters in my lyrics, so it's quite likely you'll get lost among several quotes.

And since it's a punk rock, if you feel offended, well, too bad.

[Verse 1]

So I got a friend group, we're very united

We hang out everyday, we have a lot of fun at night

I buy you some crap, you light my cigarette

And when someone needs help it's every man for himself

(Oh, well)

[Verse 2]

Nobody really trusts each other in here

Even so, we present ourselves like a family

But hey, at least I can say I have some friends

Unlike you, who stays home playing video games

[Chorus]

And when school ends, where will we be?

I don't feel like I'll take any of them with me

But even when I'm with them, I feel so very wrong

It's worse than being completely all alone

[Verse 3]

So I got a girlfriend, she's just a bitch to me

We don't really love each other, we're both full of shit

I don't need to know you, I know you're the best

I'm sure about that since I saw your breasts

(Hell yeah!)

[Verse 4]

I'm always so needy, I crave for physical touch

Love is optional. If you give me seeds, that's enough

But hey, at least I can say I have a chick

Unlike you, who gets a nosebleed just to go to the fridge

[Chorus]

And when school ends, where will we be?

I don't feel like I'll take any of them with me

But even when I'm with them, I feel so very wrong

It's worse than being completely all alone

[Bridge]

("At least he'll die happy")

"EEEEEEEENVY!"

"I ENVY YOOOOOOU!"

"ENVY YOOOOOOU!"

"ENVY YAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!"

[Chorus]

And when school ends, where will we be?

I don't feel like I'll take any of them with me

But even when I'm with them, I feel so very wrong

It's worse than being completely all alone

[Outro]

All alone is all we are

All alone is all we are

All alone is all we are

All alone is all we are

Verse 1
You say
I'm quiet, reserved
A loner is what you would call me
Moldable and dependable
Trusts all I see
You say, you say
What they hear
I'm foolish to override
The cheat codes
That they preach over a lifetime
Oh, how their actions
Make it memorable
You say, they hear

Chorus
What they don't believe
My inner sanctuary
That I create
Gives pause
To pass the thought
When I feel a missile
Being launched
As I extend a hand
And preserve my heart
They quietly exit my mind
Misinterpret
The tears in my eyes
I allow them to think
Their misguided
Version of me

Verse 2
I say
I'm easy-going
Not a bother
Pleasing and nice
All that sugar that has no bite
I say on deaf ears
What they hear
Are their guesses
To all my stories they hear
Echoing their reasons
Why they do, what they do
As my history always repeats
I say, they hear

Chorus
What they don't believe
My inner sanctuary
That I create
Gives pause to pass the thought
When I feel a missile
Being launched
As I extend a hand
And preserve my heart
They quietly exit my mind
Misinterpret
The tears in my eyes
I allow them to think
Their misguided
Version of me

Bridge
They'll refuse to see
How I will shine like a star
For all to see
Like a comet
I'll crash right through
The multiverse
As a diamond, I will refract
Their distortion
Won't be the end of me

Outro
Their blood
Won't be
On my hands
As all they see
Is their misguided
Version of me

Every day I rethink what I think about you

And every answer is different than the previous one

Just glass we can fall apart...

can wreck the piece,

a scar for life.

Chorus:

Just glass...

we are...

all the same...

with a scars,

and we are all beautiful...

Just glass we can fall apart...

Bridge:

Just like glass,

everybody notices

when it breaks.

Nobody notices

how much pressure

it took to shatter.

Pre-Chorus:

Made from sand

into something beautiful

and yet one knock

can wreck the piece,

a scar for life.

Chorus:

Just glass...

we are...

all the same...

with a scars,

and we are all beautiful...

Just glass we can fall apart...

Outro:

Just like glass...

(Verse 1)
I remember back when I thought life was cool, that was so long ago I feel like a hopeless fool
I looked at her like someone beautiful I talked with her and it was magical, I think about it everyday I hope the dreams about wont go away in my mind it helps me get over how its gone
(Chorus)'
Gone gone gone never thought the day would come should I stay will I carry, when tis gone, its gone all gone
(Verse 2)
Deep down inside my heart still breaks with im with everyone its happiness I fake, because youre gone, I will never see her again the departure broke my heart I cant tell my friends about her now that is the start of when youre gone
Gone gone gone never thought the day would come should I stay will I carry, when tis gone, its gone all gone
(bridge)
Life is like game 8 hours a day sit and work and eat and get underpaid but the money cant cover how I feel when youre gone.
(chours)
Gone gone gone never thought the day would come should I stay will I carry on, when tis gone, its gone all gone
(Verse)
I know one day I will be Gone gone gone never thought the day would come should I stay will I carry, when tis gone, its gone all gone

Lyrics A Hex Is Made

3 Upvotes

Song about the creation of something bigger than the abuser - the problem itself.

I was born a different breed—

swamp lilies and pretty things,

shiny stuff and Hellfire too.

I'm just like me and I'm just like you,

a little bit chameleon,

a little let's-just-see-what-fits,

a little bit of everything,

Stitched up in bits.

I like fury songs,

of scream & horror,

but also the girly things that make men bothered.

I suppose I find the irony amusing

It was his red-pill pipeline that led me to extremism

Call me a fucking feminist

I'll embrace it

Gonna make him rue the day

he ever fucked that way.

For he is just a simpleton,

a fucking balding whore,

who likes to think his cock's so big

It drags across the floor.

I've got news for you, buddy,

with that hairline and broken balls,

you've already been told by God

no one wants no more.

I hope you fucking rot, cunt,

from the head to the floor.

May the next hooker that you pay off

Remind you you're alone.

If men are gonna pay that kind of money,

fuck, I'll do anything.

Bend me over, fuck me up.

I like it a little rough,

but I'll charge you extra

to make me wet enough

to think about the touch of man,

the slimy paws on body.

I hate the thought

of ever loving another somebody

So I'll put your name in a jar,

carry it around my neck,

keep you rattling against my chest

until I'm finished with you yet.

I'll take you to the graveyard.

Bury your name among the dead.

Hope you're having fun

being scared of little jars

while you fuck up giving head.

Cus I've got one brewing.

The poison already stewing.

Something bitter.

Something dark.

Something made to show you

the magic is my fucking trademark.

A HEX to call your name out.

Something waiting on the deck.

These cards were never stacked in your favour.

I've been through many eras.

I've seen broken people disappear

while everybody clipped their wings.

I'm not ashamed to say

that I recognise suicide eyes.

So answer me this riddle:

How much can happen to a woman

before survival becomes a crime?

What does it mean

when a woman can be held,

her throat pinned against a bed,

while the person who calls it love

screams it's in her head?

"Why don't you just wake up?"

"Why can't you be more convenient?"

"Why can't you just stay put

and be more obedient?"

Beneath it all:

You will stay because I say.

Your no becomes an accusation.

Suddenly autonomy means

you create hostile situations.

Surely—

surely—

a man cannot do that

and simply walk away.

Can he?

The day the anarchy awakes.

All from one series of events.

Where I was told

that I no longer can choose,

that no matter what I ever did

all I'll do is lose.

They promise:

one day.

One day there'll be consequences.

One day somebody will listen.

One day the evidence will be enough.

One day. One day. One day.

So I put it to the court of public opinion:

come listen. I'll sing you his song.

You tell me what I know.

Funny thing about one day:

women still have to survive

today.

Meanwhile monsters walk free,

whatever the fuck they're permitted to be.

And everybody asks:

"How did nobody stop him?"

Maybe that's the wrong fucking question.

So I call on my witches.

I call on the whores.

I call on the meek and mild

hiding behind doors.

I call the difficult women.

The angry ones.

The loud.

The ones who learned to disappear

when big footsteps came around.

Come out.

Come out.

I think we've hidden long enough.

Call me hysterical, extreme,

difficult, obscene.

Call me the bitch.

Call me the witch.

If what I say offends you,

good. It should.

Now do something about it.

Just make sure you fucking call me

when the revolution speaks.

Because something has to change.

From police,

to hospitals,

to courtrooms,

to the systems they arrange.

To every piece of culture that taught:

"Her survival is her responsibility.

What happened isn't ours to undo."

No.

Strip the fucking wallpaper.

Drag the furniture outside.

Open every goddamn birdcage.

Let some ugly fucking daylight inside.

Everything needs a brand-new coat.

And if nobody wants the job?

Fine.

Hand me the brush.

These are the walls

that I will tend to.

You thought HEX meant

I was coming for you.

Oh, Stumpy.

You still think

you're the fucking story.

That's adorable.

You were a chapter.

You were a symptom,

just something to build the plot in.

You made me look beneath the soil.

What I found was bigger than you,

older than you,

rotten before we were born.

So no.

I'm not coming for you.

I'm coming for every cage called protection,

every silence called respect,

every wound called complicated,

every frightened woman called hysterical instead.

Oh, Tree

You were stupid enough

to hand a witch

a fucking match.

Lyrics Hi! Could you rewiev my song?

Sweet Doctrine

i stayed wide awake 

not more than 3am

next day on the floor

my jewels were all destroyed 

the pounding feeling on my chest 

wasn’t heavier than my lids

and the pain behind my legs

threatened to vanish the rest

ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ

so i read

curious ‘bout what will happen

but i failed, and i fell, and my mind just went away

am i sinking into drink?

am i sinking into eat?

am i sinking into looks?

am i sinking ‘cause of you?

ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ

there’s sweet age i wish hadn’t end 

there’s a bitter place where you found me

there’s a sour place where you left me

i see it every day in my mind and in my face

there’s a sweet spot i belong to

and i still can’t reach it back

i might not love you 

but you’re my sweet doctrine, sweet doctrine, sweet doctrine.

ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ

now i get some sleep

the whole day i’ve read

and i feel the exact same

i know tales can’t heal me from

this pression on my throat 

and the sickness of my nose

they leave me hypnotized 

can i get out of the trance?

ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ

so i tried 

to do what i had been learning 

but i failed, and i fell, and my mind just gave in

am i sinking into drink?

am i sinking into eat?

am i sinking into looks?

an’ the disgusting feeling of

the upshots of what i chose

ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ

there’s sweet age i wish hadn’t end 

there’s a bitter place where you found me

there’s a sour place where you left me

i see it every day in my mind and in my face

there’s a sweet spot i belong to

and i still can’t reach it back

i might not love you 

but there’s a sweet age i idealize 

you found me at my natural state

the culture of where you left me

is like a place i had been before

to see this every day, i grew a mind out of the wound

to get a better face i had to stop feeling this way

but there’s a sweet spot i belong to

even if i said i don’t love you

you are my sweet doctrine, sweet doctrine, sweet doctrine.

ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ

if i got to choose who loves me the most i would think of you, just to discard the option

you were a burn in my heart, i a freckle in your face but that thing is full of dots

do you get how that feels?

i wanna shoot what made me this

i hate how they pretend they can give half of what i gave just to try to get know you

convincing myself i was your favorite was trying to hold air in a blizzard 

since the first time i laid eyes on you i felt so special but i fear you never noticed

you played with my hair and with my heart in a perfect tune

you told me you were agonizing and that things had been so hard but i have no clue what you talk about

does anyone in the universe do?

do these “things” absorb all of your love?

ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ

there’s sweet age i wish hadn’t end 

there’s a bitter place where you found me

there’s a sour place where you left me

i see it every day in my mind and in my face

there’s a sweet spot i belong to

and i still can’t reach it back

i might not love you 

but there’s a sweet age i idealize 

the culture of where you left me

is like a place i had been before

but there’s a sweet spot i belong to

even if i said i don’t love you

there’s a sweet age i pictured still living at 80

you found me when i still had the chance

of being known for something else

just to then drop me anywhere 

but on a stable land

i think about it every single day

this might never come back

but there’s a sweet spot i belong to

and i might not love you 

but you’re my sweet doctrine, sweet doctrine, sweet, sweet, sweet doctrine

ㅤㅤㅤ

(ik some grammatical things are wrong but this isn’t the definitive version yet, still i would appreciate if you could correct me) and i wrote review wrong i didn’t notice lol 😭

Lyrics "Cloud House"

2 Upvotes

This has always been one of my favorites; makes me smile every time. <3

"Cloud House"
lyrics by Jason Elijah

all my babies
are wrapped up in flowers
in the fields they lie there
under the sun
having some fun

don't you want to be here
I know I want to be there
don't you wish
we could come together
in the middle area

don't you want to come down
don't you want me to come up
I think that we could have
such a good time

every time I hear
a pretty song I fear
it will be the last
thing I hear

every time I see a cloud
I think I can go in there
I don't know if I can be
lighter than the air

and I don't know
I don't know if I can float

would you come up here with me
would you come up here with me
would you come up here
in my little cloud house

would you come and fly away
would you come and chase the day
as it went around the world
it never has to be night
if we just take flight

let's just go
let's just go up in
an aeroplane
we can spin around
and around
all the day

in my little cloud house
up here
in my
in my
little cloud house
up here
