@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

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

‘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

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

I'm only writing right now because I want to deprive myself of sleep because it helps my 10 hour shift this morning go by faster.

Starting in two weeks, I'll be anxiety-ridden and not able to do anything fun.

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.

No, it's references to the critically "meh"-d album Witness.

No one can match the poetic nature of Ms Katheryn Hudson's gospel.
