happy song 02:12
i think that maybe i'll write a happy song for a change, 'cause i'm really not angry anymore and no one's ever made me feel this way i love it when you say i'm your's. i know it sounds crazy, but i'm not afraid to go all the way. baby, don't be scared, just take my hand, let's go for a ride under the sunlight. led zeppelin's playing so loud makes my head spin round and round don't take your foot off the gas, 'cause i love going fast. oh, give me a kiss for good luck in the back of your truck. *

body 04:34
feel you on my skin hands on me lying there for you vulnerable. my body is thin, fragile, but you know that I’m breakable. touch me softly, don’t be afraid. nothing matters if you love me. exhale your breath let it go nothing matters if you love me. emotions crash violently i’ve never been this happy. hands on my chest erotic look at my eyes and kiss me. lovers dance, spiraling enter me within the timing. the sweetest love i’ve ever seen put your hands on my body. touch me softly don’t be afraid nothing matters if you love me. let out your stress into me nothing matters if you love me. you’ve got me screaming, and now you’re weeping and it’s all so good because you love me. like earl grey tea with something sweet. it’s all so good because you love me. he believes in a higher state of being. that love is a strain of ecstasy. like a drug, love can trip you out. and lying here, under you i’ve lost all of my doubt. my body and his becoming one whispering confessions of love. like a drug, love can ease the pain. and lying here, under you, i can feel you erasing. touch me softly don’t be afraid nothing matters if you love me. watch it blow, tiny atoms explode nothing matters if you love me. you’ll make me cry you’ve never told a lie and that only proves that you love me. like light through a prism we break apart the system and it feel so good because you love me. *

nebula 04:47
i am hugely nothing i can offer only love, for, i own nothing but my words and my song. there is so much gravity. pressure down on me. but i keep fighting for my love and my song. my emotional turmoil is everlasting. how can you love something so unstable? i am a nebula taking up space. thousands of stars trying to find their place. i am an artifact untouchable. i have been used, and now i'm fragile. i just wish it wasn't so hard for me to vocalize what i'm feeling inside even by means of my song. please don't think ill of me it's so hard to forgive me. but i am trying for my love and my song. my emotional turmoil is everlasting. how can you love something so unstable? so, tell me, dear, what makes you stay? how can you be so sure when i'm so afraid, because at the end of the day, we're nothing but dust floating through space. lasciatemi morire. *

angel 06:34
i've been praying a lot but i'm not quite sure if anyone is listening. i cried so much last year that there's no more tears. an old man once said to me that he saw an angel in his dreams. but the monster inside made the dream die. and, one can't have an angel without a monster. i found one when i lost the other. you're an angel and i'm a monster. change the angles, complete the slaughter. i've been smoking a lot but, i'm not sure if i'm addicted yet. i yelled so loud just to make you proud. and, my father once said to me that angels only exist in dreams. and, the monster inside is there until we die. and, one can't have an angel without a monster. i found one when i lost the other. you're an angel and i'm a fucking monster! change the angles, complete the slaughter. i see the light i hear the song. heaven and hell, forever is too long. i see your light i hear your song. life and death, they both sound so wrong. turn out the lights. *

how to walk 05:12
i've been trying to get close to you, my dear. after all, it's been an entire year. and, it's true that we fell in love. and then something went terribly wrong. i've never been a fan of spring, but april came around, and you impressed me. and it all went downhill from there. i was addicted to our toxic love affair. i haven't written a word for many months. my brain has been so tired and numb. so, maybe this means i'm no longer in shock. my heart is re-learning how to walk. we're like lions in the hills. slow to attack, but quick to kill. with each kiss that we shared, i let my guard down, and was unprepared. but, that was then, and this is now. and, i hope that you're doing well. make sure you lock my screen door, tonight there'll be no footsteps on my floor. will you kiss me when you leave? i guess i'll just have to wait and see. *

klaüs 07:05
the product of our love, our sacred unit destroyed. how can we mend the damage we've caused? this heart an abyss is hollowed. how can we fill this void with meaning? he is what keeps me alive. our bond welded together is broken. something strong ripped it apart. my shell softened skin is bleeding. cerebral poles, opposite neurons, against the laws. he is what keeps me alive. this coordination is disrupted by hatred. how do we keep ourselves safe in this chaos? you betrayed the both of us unapologetically. you took from us our very souls, hollowed bodies. now we cry for salvation or transformation. and, through the pain, we dance into the light. i would die to keep him alive. *

inertia 03:52
motus in motu consistere obiecto id agit nisi externa uis. i can't handle stagnation emotional inertia kept me strong. you drew me in with your temptation and, now i'm paying the price because i was wrong. motus in motu consistere obiecto id agit nisi externa uis. motus in motu consistere obiecto id agit nisi externa uis. i can't handle this silence. tiny explosions in my heart turned into tiny vices. and, what we made an art is now breaking me apart. i can't handle floating, emotional inertia kept me sane. how could you stop devoting? how do i fix my broken heart, and my broken brain? *

there's nothing more that i can say to keep you from going away. but, before you go off on your own, promise me you'll come home. there's nothing more that i can do you've already thought this through. but, even on my final day, i'll still remember your name. your side of the bed grows cold as we start to grow old. and, i know that i have to let you go. but the pain of losing you is more than i can do. and when you've grown i'll still be here to let you know that i love you, even still. that's how i know it's real. all these memories of you suddenly invade my point of view. and even when the last tear slides off my face, there's still no one to take your place. your side of the bed grows cold as we start to grow old. and, i know that i have to let you go. but the pain of losing you is more than i can do. and when you've grown i'll still be here to let you know that i love you, even still. that's how i know it's real. a final act of love, is the hardest thing to do. take my heart out and hand it over to you. a final act of love, the hardest place to be. the final kiss that you gave to me... and, i know that i have to let you go. but, the pain of losing you is something i have to go through. and when you've grown i'll still be here to let you know that i love you, even still. that's how i'll always feel. i know it's real. *

this house 04:27
i fell in love in this house i said goodbye to things i've never gone without. i came alive in this town, and i've met people who come from all around. i feel like a child looking towards the sky. watching the clouds as they pass us by. i feel so wise, and, yet, i've seen so few things. how is it that my tired mind can still play make-believe? i broke apart in this house, but you helped me learn to let go of all my doubts. and i made a promise in this bed, i swore i'd never give up, not even when we're dead. i feel like a man, fighting to stay alive. 'cause we both know in this day and age, it's "do or die!" i feel so unaware of the concept of time. i just pray to some kind of God i haven't wasted my life. love doesn't die in this house we cling to each other, 'cause it's all we know about. love doesn't die in this house. so, kiss me on the shoulder, and walk me out. i feel like a singing bird flying through the air. and, though you cannot see it, you can feel it everywhere. i feel like a young lover giving a kiss. in this house, in you, i find my bliss. *
