@UFO - Let the Water Fall

 

  Reveal hidden contents

 

 

VERSE

From a leaf, water droplets travelled down the stem

Then they dripped into my mouth like I’d been poisoned

Now the rush of waves inside of me makes more sense

From the licking of lips to every inch of skin

 

PRE-CHORUS

Rivers of movement glisten in my eyes

So I untighten, let you flow inside

 

CHORUS

In between the rocks and lily pads

You came crashing hard, crashing into me

In between the dry patches of land

You brought the power of the seven seas

Too scared to dive in, I try to swim back

But you pull me close away from the shore

And I let the water fall

And I let the water fall

Into me

 

VERSE

Never again, a mistake from your first hugging touch

Pull away, I can’t behave when your clouds sit above

Close to burst, I didn’t learn so educate my lust

Desert dry, your moon-lit tides caress every border

 

PRE-CHORUS

Rivers of movement glisten in my eyes

So I untighten, let you flow inside

 

CHORUS

In between the rocks and lily pads

You came crashing hard, crashing into me

In between the dry patches of land

You brought the power of the seven seas

Too scared to dive in, I try to swim back

But you pull me close away from the shore

And I let the water fall

And I let the water fall

Into me

 

BRIDGE

Now I’m breathing underwater

Unveiling my eyes to see the new Atlantis

There’s a lot to discover here

Particularly when it comes to you and I

Now I’m living like I’m water

No more restrictions, only free-flowing nature

Now we delve deeper and deeper

Now we delve deeper like two oceans together

 

CHORUS

In between the rocks and lily pads

You came crashing hard, crashing into me

In between the dry patches of land

You brought the power of the seven seas

Too scared to dive in, I try to swim back

But you pull me close away from the shore

And I let the water fall

And I let the water fall

And I let the water fall, fall

Into me

 

 

 

@8thPrince - Erased

  Reveal hidden contents

 

[A]
From the cold, white cream
You drowned in your dark coffee
To its sweet cloud of steam
Rousing me from a lost dream
 
Like these things, one day
Memories of you will fade
Yes, there will come a day
Where you too will be erased
 
Like the lingering body heat
Between two hands that unfold
Even that gentle warmth’s
Dissipates into the cold
 
Like your sigh hung in the air
On a bitter Christmas Day
Yes, there will come a day
Where you too will be erased
  

[R]
If you catch the taste of tears you’ll think back to our shore
The scent of tangerine perfume will fill an empty room
“I can’t move on” will echo there but with each passing day
You’ll be convinced there comes a day when I’m erased, too
 
[A]
Like the creases in the sheets
Where someone used to sleep
I trace your shape with my pinkie
But you’re far beyond reach
 
Somewhere far beyond ears
Wedding bells ring and decay
Yes, there will come a day
Where you too will be erased
 
Like the light space on a wall
Where a portrait hung before
Or the marks of furniture
Pressed into the carpet floor
 
Like these things, one day
Memories of you will fade
Yes, there will come a day
Where you too will be erased
  

 [R]
If you catch the taste of tears you’ll think back to our shore
The scent of tangerine perfume will fill an empty room
“I can’t move on” will echo there but with each passing day
You’ll be convinced there comes a day when I’m erased, too 
 

 

 

@Hug - Drowned in Neon

‘Drowned in Neon’ 

By Hug 

(Round 1: The Single Cover) 

  

[Verse 1] 

It’s a technicolor ocean 

With a burning neon sky 

The smoke inside’s like summer rain 

And music pulls the tides 

  

The waters throw me through the room 

I’m washed in beats and lights 

I dive into the discotheque 

And swim throughout the night 

  

[Chorus] 

The crowd is drowned in neon 

I’m floating out at sea 

The waves of wasted people 

Are crashing into me 

  

I’ll ride the tide of dancers 

I’ll never think of land 

I’ll try to hide the handprints 

That time left in the sand 

  

[Verse 2] 

It’s an empty-feeling ocean 

Though it’s packed so ever tight 

The sea can hardly take away 

What kills me deep inside 

  

The waters toss me through the room 

I’m thrashed by beats and lights 

I fall into the discotheque 

And swim like I’m alright 

  

[Chorus] 

The crowd is drowned in neon 

And I’m lost out at sea 

The waves of wasted people 

Are crashing into me 

  

I’ll ride the tide of dancers 

And wash up on the land 

I’ll try to find your handprints 

That time left in the sand 

  

[Bridge] 

I look into the neon sky 

And there’s never any stars 

On every technicolored night 

I swim into the ocean far 

  

I look into the neon sky 

And I never see the moon 

On every technicolored night 

I find myself still stuck on you 

  

It’s all my fault, I can’t forget 

You’re not around, you’re in my head 

It’s all my fault, I can’t forget 

I can’t forget, I can’t... 

  

[Chorus] 

The crowd is drowned in neon 

And I’m lost out at sea 

The waves of wasted people 

Are crashing into me 

  

I’ll ride the tide of dancers 

And wash up on the land 

I’ll try to find your handprints 

That I left in the sand 
 

 

 

@Vulnicura - Island

v1
the sands of time have withered these bones 
roaring waves clawing at land’s edge 
once a proud land, my own fortress 
now an empty isle i call home 
lived as a king with fulsome fortune 
ready to renounce this rusted throne 

pre c
weeping child, do not mourn
death comes for us all
while these thoughts are my own
i ask you, let me go

chorus 
a halo on my head, a wire in my neck
ready to let go, to find my second home
it stalks the halls, it takes my friends
yet here i remain, in slow decay
so i wonder
when will death come to my bed?

v2
the curse of age has robbed me of color
etched its scars into this mortal coil 
and now hidden in the cold morning haze 
missing the embrace of my lover
accepting the end of my glory days
let me sleep, so i may dream of summer

pre c
weeping child, do not mourn
death comes for us all
while these thoughts are my own
i ask you, let me go

chorus 
a halo on my head, a wire in my neck
ready to let go, to find my second home
it stalks the halls, it takes my friends
yet here i remain, in slow decay
so i wonder
when will death come to my bed?

bridge 
are my body and soul my own?
disease has torn me apart
i suffer alone
i know, you mean no harm
but in my heart, all i hear
is singing morphine alarms
o sweet child, do not weep 
listen to my dying wish 
please, kill me in my sleep 

pre c
weeping child, do not mourn
death comes for us all,
while you are by my side,
i beg you, let me die

chorus 
a halo on my head, a wire in my neck
ready to let go, to find my second home
it stalks the halls, it takes my friends
yet here i remain, in slow decay
so i wonder
when will death come to my bed?

VERSE 

Some nights I came home at two when the alarm was set for four, 

I tried not to wake you when I peeked around your door, 

Just to hear you breathing, an excuse to see your face, 

Your guiltless sighs convinced me I would get you out of that place, 

I’m sorry for what I couldn’t give you, I’m sorry you just had me, 

I’m sorry your father didn’t get to, meet the person we knew you’d be, 

I’ve made a lot of bad choices baby, but when I look back at my life, 

In a sea of awful memories, you’re an island of what I got right 

  

  

. 

CHORUS 

All the pain it cost 

All the times you lost 

I would bear for you 

All the nights you broke 

All the times you choked 

I would bear for you 

Everything I have 

Everything I do 

I give to you 

I give to you 

  

  

. 

VERSE 

Last night I came home at two when the alarm was set for four, 

I tried not to wake her when I peeked around her door, 

Her hair is new and wispy as it frames her cherub face, 

Just like the woman in the picture above the fireplace, 

Couldn’t find one of you and dad when your cigarette wasn’t lit, 

But I had never seen you smoke because you say I helped you quit, 

I’m sorry for what you must go through, I’m sorry I wasn’t a better son, 

I’m sorry my daughter won’t get to, meet the woman who taught me to love 

  

  

. 

CHORUS 

All the pain it cost 

All the times you lost 

I would bear for you 

All the nights you broke 

All the times you choked 

I would bear for you 

Everything I have 

Everything I do 

I give to you 

I give to you 

  

  

. 

BRIDGE 

You acted like it’s nothing but it meant so much to me, 

To see you walk across that stage for this family’s first degree, 

I know where you’re coming from but you don’t understand, 

The smile on your face was better than the paper in my hand, 

Promise me one last thing, my boy, before I let you go, 

Hold her hand, be her perfect man, and make sure that she knows, 

  

  

. 

OUTRO 

All the things she’ll choose, 

All the times she’ll lose, 

You would bear for her, 

All the nights she breaks, 

All the tears on her face, 

I will bear for her, 

Everything I have 

Everything I have 

Everything I do 

Everything I’ve earned 

I give to you 

I give to her

Verse One

 

Our paths crossed underneath the harsh June sun

And I figured they'd diverge in a couple of months

 You glanced back at me as you walked out of view

Because something stopped you, and I felt it too

 The world around us began to break and bend

Then we were alone, and I felt it again

And I would have left then, if I'd known before

But time was nothing to me anymore.

 

Pre Chorus

 

Will you be on the other side

When the sand begins to fall

Will you be there in the end?

Will you be there at all?

 

Chorus

 

You said you loved me in the summer

But will you love me in the fall?

There's a girl back home

You say you love her

But does she know you at all?

 

Verse Two

 

When I woke up, I saw your faint reflection

Blurred by grains of sand cascading in every direction

You looked back again, and I saw you hesitate

But you didn't turn back then so all I could do was wait

Cause even a broken clock is right twice a day

And I could've waited for centuries if I had it my way

 I didn't know it then, but you were never coming back

And it took  me too long to realize

I'd trapped my own self behind the glass

 

Pre Chorus

 

Were we ever aware of time

Were we afraid it wouldn't last

Did we spend all of it right?

What slipped through the cracks?

 

Chorus

 

You said you loved me in the summer

But will you love me in the fall?

There's a girl back home

You say you love her

But does she know you at all?

 

Bridge

Were we ever aware of time?

Did we think ours wouldn't pass?

Did we use all of it right?

What slipped through the cracks?

 

Were we afraid of time?

Were we held down by the past?

Did we see our future right

Looking through the hourglass?

 

Chorus

 

You said you loved me in the summer

But will you love me in the fall?

There's a girl back home

You say you love her

But does she know you at all?

 

Outro

 

And I'm too sick of living on borrowed time

You've moved on with your life, and I have to with mine

But I'll always remember that look you gave me

What the hourglass gave us, and what it had taken

Little Deer

 

Verse

Little deer wanders eagerly
Through the forest without a place to be
Little deer perks its ears high
Listens to the world from the ground to sky
Little deer lost without a lead
Takes the path that appears, not the one it needs
Little deer always on it’s edge
Afraid of making noise and what's over the ledge
 

Pre-chorus

But it still peers out to see

The ground below where it could be

Out the cage you could find more

Beyond the boundaries of locked doors

 

Chorus
But there's not a sign 
There's not a key

Nowhere to be
This is not a dream 

Without a way
Can't contemplate 
The next step to take
But the deer runs...


 

Verse
Little deer hasn’t found a home
Across the land on an endless roam
Little deer pushed by heavy winds
But scared to death of what lies ahead
Little deer out among the stars
The sky is as black as the space is so far
Little deer reflected, I see
A hopeless fragment of what only could be
 

Pre-chorus

But there are hands which pull it back

Boxes and places to be confined

Voices and thoughts which may not be

Oh what is in the deers mind?

 

Chorus
But there's not a sign 
There's not a key

Nowhere to be
This is not a dream 

Without a way
Can't contemplate 
The next step to take
But the deer runs...

 

Bridge

All my endeavors are broken and buried

All of the things that I feel are treasured

Left locked away because I will remember

All of the people the deer has met

 

The path shared then split off

I watched from the distance

The silhouettes falling

Off into the past

 

The deer is hunted, they follow the sight

I’m prayed on by danger deep in the night

I wish I could change things I hate in my life

But beauty is everywhere If I close my eyes

 

Chorus

But there's not a sign 
There's not a key

Nowhere to be
This is not a dream 

Without a way
Can't contemplate 
The next step to take
But the deer runs...

 

Outro

Little deer fragile with the leaves

Crumpled up forgotten and lying on the ground

Little deer needs a little love

Where are the angels watching from above?

STARDUST 

Written for the label challenge: Birthright Ent. 

  

verse 

The sunset melts to darkness, gives way to cosmic glows 

I'm wrapped in silver moonlight as headlights guide me home 

Romantics in the sunlight give way to carnal sins 

And rational emotions dissolve as lust sets in 

  

So tiptoe down the hallway, take the third door on your right 

And text me when you get there, it's too late to knock tonight 

You look better than your pictures, you're so handsome in this light 

But you’re not here for small talk and I’m not here to waste your time 

  

chorus 

This moment is a shooting star 

That filters through my hands 

Your body's made of stardust 

Locked in an hourglass 

We're just two passing comets 

On to other rendezvous 

So until the morning breaks us 

I'll make the most of you 

  

verse 

Your body leaves me starstruck, your rhythm takes my breath 

With every empty kiss I hope this moment never ends 

I'll mirror every movement, use our bodies till we're spent 

Maybe if I give my all you'll see me once again 

  

If only these emotions gripped your heart each time we kissed 

In twenty minutes I'll be one more name upon your list 

There's galaxies of others that shine brighter than I do 

So maybe I'm just lucky that your orbit crossed mine too 

  

chorus 

This moment is a shooting star 

That filters through my hands 

Your body's made of stardust 

Locked in an hourglass 

We're just two passing comets 

On to other rendezvous 

So until the morning breaks us 

I'll make the most of you 

  

bridge 

Mourning doves awake me 

But I won't open my eyes 

I reach out for your body 

But there's just sheets on your side 

I’ll spend my whole day waiting 

For words that never come 

You’re just another glimmer 

Lost with the rising sun 

  

chorus 

This moment is a shooting star 

That filters through my hands 

Your body's made of stardust 

Locked in an hourglass 

We're just two passing comets 

On to other rendezvous 

So until the morning breaks us 

I'll make the most of you

Take a chance, roll the ball, and spin that roulette wheel.

All I can say is that the decision Jackson makes is something bigger than me.

I myself cannot comment on something until he is ready, because he's the one with the ultimate power.
