Hope Ann
Where are you going to Hope Anne?
Why are you looking so fine?
Don’t you worry none Hope Anne?
I know you were never mine
You didn’t know the day I found you
Was the worst day of my life
My world had crashed around me
I felt the sharp edge of the knife
But you gave me your attention
And I held onto it tight
Like a light into the darkness
Like a becon in the night
Where are you going to Hope Anne?
Why are you looking so fine?
Don’t you worry none Hope Anne
I know you were never mine
I never took one day for granted
Because I knew one day you’d go
I kept the things you gave me
and I wanted you to know
You helped me through my troubles
You helped me through the storm
I’m on the other side now
Where I am safe and warm
Where are you going to Hope Anne?
Why are you looking so fine?
Don’t you worry none Hope Anne
I know you were never mine
A song
Parts of this prison
Glow like a prism
When sunbeams
Hit raindrops
On windows
They glisten
And glint
Leave maps
And hints
In condensation
When fingers flick
Altered acrylic
Like scrolls
Like scriptures
Burnt holes in Perspex pictures
Pressed lips blow cold O’s
That break free
Ascend
And dissolve
Like all signs over time
Like hope
Rip up bed sheets
Make a rope
Nope
She said
You live in your head
You’re missing a lot things
You’re missing a lot of things
Salvation is a credit rating
Fear not of man
Or divine entities
But did god get the best of me
Cos this temple has a very high entrance fee
Salvation is a credit rating
Fear not of man
Or divine entities
But did god get the best of me
Cos this temple has a very high exit fee.
Icarus
Ever since I was a child
I’ve always wished for wings
Hopping
From chair to sofa
The floor is my prison.
Ever since I was a child
I’ve always wished for wings.
But, oh no, can’t hold me up
With paper, wax and strings.
Icarus, oh Icarus am I.
I jumped off the cliff of fame
And flew a bit too high.
I wish, I wish,
I wish that I could fly
Like a bird in the night sky.
I, oh I, oh Icarus am I.
I tried to find the light
That sun I wish to shine.
Ambition leaves me blind.
These wings couldn’t hold me up,
I’m solid like a stone.
My feet, just tied to the ground
And wax just melts along.
I wish, I wish,
I wish that I could fly.
But these wings, oh-oh,
They can’t support me
Flights of fancy.
My bones cannot be hollow
the ways that you’re are, oh.
My stomach should be empty,
I’m overcompensating.
The numbers, they keep going down
But I still can’t—
I wish, I wish,
I wish that I could fly.
My stomach’s gone
My wings are stronger
Gravity still holds me down.
I wish, I wish
I wish that I could fly.
I jumped off the cliffs of fame
But the spotlight didn’t catch me,
Light is cruel, these rays they burn,
Now Icarus is falling.
I, oh I, oh Icarus am I.
I flew towards the sun
Riding on a lie.
I, oh I, oh Icarus am I.
And I, oh I, I flew a bit too high.
I, oh I, oh Icarus am...
I tried to walk across the clouds,
To dance across the sky.
But no, there never was a hope
For I am not divine.
I, oh I, oh Icarus was I.
I gave up on my dreams,
No man can never fly.
Ambition left me blind.
Empty, and Hollow,
No, nothing left inside.
No myth to fill this void,
This space inside my heart.
I, oh I, oh Icarus was I.
Now I, oh I, am nothing inside.
One Way Ride
There you go again
Teasing me with those eyes
Always trying to find a reason
Babe, don't let yourself lie
You can't run away
Don't leave me in the dust
Eventually I'll catch up to you
To have you is a must
You'll never know how much I love you
But until you do
Let the music guide me
I'll just follow the signs to you
You've put me on this journey
I'm on a one way ride to you
It's about the ride
Not knowing where it leads
I'm hoping you'll be waiting for me
Until then Ill just drive
You make it so hard
But worth every moment
And for every sin and atonement
You're the guide to my heart
You'll never know how much I love you
But until you do
Let the music guide me
I'll just follow the signs to you
You've put me on this journey
I'm on a one way ride to you
A reply to hearts
There was a time-
where saying 'I love you'
was an unsolvable task.
Dazzling hearts,
all drawn at midnight,
all with your off-hand.
I'm sorry, I'm sorry,
it took so long.
I love you, I love you.
My adorable me. (love you)
Look at the mirror
enjoy what you see. (I love you)
This is a love song
just for you and I. (You are me)
I must say I love you
at least one million times. (Can you hear me?)
There was a time,
where the darkness had free reign.
The terror of teardrops
made you fall, sick and pained.
Now you face the monster,
the one painted by your closed eyes.
You face down at midnight
but for once, your eyes are dry.
I love you, I love you.
My adorable me. (love you)
Look at the mirror
enjoy what you see. (I love you)
This is a love song
just for you and I. (You are me)
I must say I love you
at least one million times. (Can you hear me?)
A self made prophacy,
a death by time. (death by time)
A self- inflected curse,
a loveless heart (loveless heart)
And yet you remain,
strong and proud (strong and proud)
Come out and reign,
beautiful butterfly (butterfly)
I love you, I love you.
My adorable me. (love you)
Look at the mirror
enjoy what you see. (I love you)
This is a love song
just for you and I. (You are me)
I must say I love you
at least one million times. (Can you hear me?)
I love you, I love you.
My adorable me. (love you)
Look at the mirror
enjoy what you see. (I love you)
This is a love song
just for you and I. (You are me)
I must say I love you
at least one million times. (Can you hear me?)
I'm sorry this took so long
to reply.
I have loved you
for the longest time.
I'm thankful you were born,
and that you are here.
Every morning
you bring me cheer.
And the best part of all,
is that you are here.
When I look,
in the mirror.
(Its a bit fast, like a pop song.)
Y’all! don’t “like” this one it’s just an announcement
So I'm asking for these entries cause I like to sing and I was thinking I could record myself singing all of the entries and maybe get you guys a link so you can hear your songs but it's all very tentative and it's just a maybe so just have fun writing your songs :)!!
