Painting Bones Blue

Paint, your bones blue, / If you know how misery, and heartbreak too, / ’Cause I’m tired, of pretending, / It’s been far too long.

And it’s not quite broken, / it’s far beyond whole, / There’s nothing left worth holding, / So I’m painting with blue now.

Painting my bones blue, / And you can join me if you want to, / I won’t pretend to know what’s happening, / But I can show you my fractures too. / We’ll start accepting the truth, / Even though we never wanted to.

And do you ever think that a dog misses their mom? It’s these midnight thoughts that distract from the colorful memories, and red is blood, yes and I know that’s, here’s not a reason for me to be feeling like this, and no I enjoy the life I lived I just can’t seem to figure what happens to it. I promise you there are no red blood paintings it’s all about the blue bones fracturing, and if Romeo really believed in love, would he have forgotten Rosaline so quickly? Tell me why I got to envy all these half attempted love stories, there are no happy endings in reality, but at least give me a fraction of what the fairy tales show me.

Painting my bones blue, / And you can join me if you want to, / I won’t pretend to know what’s happening, / But I can show you my fractures too. / We’ll start accepting the truth, / Even though we never wanted to.

I wanted to write songs, / Since I was four years old / And my Daddy told my Mom / That it was time for leaving after all, / I found the blue paint / In his new wife’s white estate, / Made use of life’s irony, / Used it to paint the bones / Hidden under my clothes.

As for the brush you use / I bought it off main / Once I quit trying to love / All those who were lost, / Cause you can’t heal soles when your own has a whole, / So I sold all my pretendings and bought blue paint afterall / To paint my bones blue, / You can join me if you want.

Sing to Me

[Him: Verse 1]

I didn’t go to you in time

Your gentle blue eyes were so full of hope

I left a letter sealed in an envelope

Promising I’d see you again

Under the cold autumn moon

I pray to the stars

That you will one day forgive me

For keeping you waiting

What keeps me breathing on this earth?

Is the memory of your lips pulsating on my skin

[Chorus: Him]

Sing to me your lullaby

I know you are with me

Sing to me your lullaby

Never set this tender heart free

Sing to me your lullaby

To be only yours

To be only yours

Only yours

[Her: Verse 2]

I yearn to live in between your moments.

Pouring myself all over you

From the instant, I looked into your warm eyes.

I knew I would always forgive you.

Destiny came and recognized

This love cannot be broken.

There is a melody that covets my soul.

I am singing in all that I am

Know that I am waiting between the beats of your heart

Under the moon, where our symphony began

[Her: Chorus]

Sing to me your lullaby

I know you are with me

Sing to me your lullaby

Never set this tender heart free

Sing to me your lullaby

To be only yours

To be only yours

Only yours

[Bridge: Both]

I feel you with me so close and near.

Between our hearts

May seem like light-years

I long to breathe in your galaxy.

Because we have nothing to fear

[Chorus: Both]

Sing to me your lullaby

I know you are with me

Sing to me your lullaby

Never set this tender heart free

Sing to me your lullaby

To be only yours

To be only yours

Only yours(x 3)

Font Size Nine

Am I living in a memory?

Is my present just your past?

Am I the eyes of a yesterday me?

Is it too late to say not so fast?

'Cause every single step

is a step toward the next

and I can't ignore the footprints anymore.

'Cause every single mess

is a mess to regret-

what am I bleeding all these words out for?

If I told my story

who would listen to the lines

where the ink was splotched with tears

and I lied and said "I'm fine"?

If I told my story

who would read all the footnotes?

Would anybody take the time

to emphasize in their mind

the words that I italicized

in font size nine?

Sometimes I feel like skimming, swimming

through the pools of light dimming, slimming

and I can't help my pen from scribbling

what happens when you use lemonade to water all your lemons?

If I told my story

who would listen to the lines

where the ink was splotched with tears

and I lied and said "I'm fine"?

If I told my story

who would see all the footnotes?

Would anybody take the time

to emphasize in their mind

the words that I italicized

in font size nine?

Everything Is Fake (I made this so it would only be sang in Japanese, please don’t judge)

Hey tell me,

Tell me, what kind of life do you want, I’ll grant it

Trapped in a lonely cage; my feelings remain locked away

I step out into the cold world wearing a fake smile like everybody else

Why does everyone hide their feelings?

Answer me with that fake mask of yours! 

Hey, answer me, don’t look at me like that

Everyone’s masks are screwed tightly onto their faces so they don’t fall, as they go around living a fake life

I’m resting alone in my empty lonesome bed again,

My mask slipping off,

Looking at my sullen eyes in the mirror, I put on a pained smile

What will become of me when  tomorrow comes?

Everything is fake! Your smiles, your laughter, even words that you don’t have in your heart

This world smashes into pieces like glass, my heart twisted into the same as everybody else’s

Denying my own wishes, I end up as the same as everyone else

It hurts, it hurts!

Just once more, let’s live in a real world

How long do I have to do this? When can this just end?                              

This rotten game of life that’s supposed to be a blessing!

“Fake everything,” the number one rule in this dark world

The fake people in the streets with their fake words that have no feeling in it

Just what am I living for?

God, please listen to my little request,

Can you please free me from this world?

I walked past the hallway, slumping against the wall

Is this a curse?

What did I do to deserve this kind of punishment, I wonder

I wonder  

‘Just live’

These words so easy to say, but so hard to do

Hey, can we go to the afterlife together? 

Is it alright if I smile for real when that time comes? 

True justice is served when we all die, and pass on

I just wanted to live in a kind world

Don’t let go of my cold hand, please

You’re the only light I can hold onto 

Can I do it?

No, I’m just a coward who can’t end their own life

Who will save me from this life of hell?

Nobody.

I slump against the steel bars of this cage called, ‘Life’

Hey, it’s fine, just leave me like everybody else

I know I’m just a burden to you, just throw me away!

Stop coaxing me with those coated fake kind words

My wings torn to pieces, only you can fly away,

I’ll just stay in this fake world, until my time comes, please smile at me with that fake mask of yours

You walk away wordlessly until I was left in the dark again

Who else will leave me?

It hurts, it hurts 

Demons just devour me and my sins already

Come towards the clapping of hands, my caged and tortured life ends

People applaud for the fake show titled my life

I fall down, dead, with a geniune smile

Will I be able to live in a kind world in my next life

I wonder?

Daisy in a Poppy Field

I have spent ten thousand days

surrounded yet alone.

An empty body filled

by all words but my own.

Each thought borrowed from someone

till they’re just one passed due loan.

Why can’t I know my own voice

without it sounding so unknown?

A daisy in a poppy field

the odd one out again

You tell me that I’m perfect

But you don’t understand

I know I’m not I’ll own it

I write it on my hand

you wipe it off and cover it

by holding it instead

I have spent ten thousand days

surrounded yet alone.

An empty body filled

by all words but my own.

Each thought borrowed from someone

till they’re just one passed due loan.

Why can’t I know my own voice

without it sounding so unknown?

I’ve shown you all my differences

I’ve nothing left to hide

The black sheep in a crowd of white

You know I’ve never lied

I’m weak without your hand to hold.

An empty sheet at best.

But still you take my hand in yours

and tell me I’m perfect

I have spent ten thousand days

surrounded yet alone.

An empty body filled

by all words but my own.

Each thought borrowed from someone

till they’re just one passed due loan.

Why can’t I know my own voice

without it sounding so unknown?

I’m a daisy in a poppy field, but you paint me red again

Verse

Tell it to your girls

Stick it to the men

I don't have your capability

To need a million others

Who are unsweetened lovers

But maybe you have the ability

To make them stay

Make them need for days

But I know it's all imaginary

Chorus

He shoots you down and blood is all around

He'll live like thunder, you'll need

A new wave, wear those new shades

That girl has gone and grown

Verse

I shall never understand

Why girls want that bedlam

When you have the boyfriend at hand

Girl become your new best friend

Dayy issues are not for the end

Cause when

Chorus

He shoots you down and blood is all around

He'll live like thunder, you'll need

A new wave, wear those new shades

That girl has gone and grown

Bridge

The ocean washes you

The blue it match's you

And he is surfing the waves

Chorus

He shoots you down and blood is all around

He'll live like thunder, you'll need

A new wave, wear those new shades

That girl has gone and grown

Post

Catching a new wave

Wearing the blue shades

Girl you've come and gone

Catching a new wave

Wearing the blue shades

Girl you've come and gone
