Songs

No notes nor performances, sorry. Perhaps in the future. They're all WIPs but these ones are kinda done.

Based on A Grief Observed
Oh, they all told me it would be this way
But this time it's personal

No reason or rationale
(will) Bring you back
or put you in the ground

What could I say?
What could I do?
Worshipping this Decayed image
that once I knew as you

What could I say?
What could I do?
Questioning the Judgment of my Lord
a helpless fool

The aftermath
Was more than I counted
And now I laugh
To have been so dependent

They all told me it would be this way
I guess I should have known
When God sends you ro-ses
You love them before they're gone

Oh, they all told me it would be this way
But this time it's personal
No reason or rationale
(will) Bring you back
or put you in the ground

Oh, they all told me it would be this way
But this time it's personal
No reason or rationale
(will) Bring you back
or put you in the ground
Ugly
Ain't no shame in being strange
It's no shame to rearrange
What you mean is up to you
And what I mean, is up to me

Yeah, I know what it means to be myself
I know what it means to be different
I know what it means to be livin'
It means you're ugly.

Comparison is mutilation
I'd like a moment for some, reflection
What are you, just a house of mirrors?
Living out all their fears?

We don't think like they do
Don't play with straight lines
They don't fit you
Born to divide, born in the chaos
Twin-faced, cut-paste, away with the pain marks

So everybody
Don't understand
What you're doing
to your own body
Well trust me baby
When you get pretty
Nobody questions what happened to ugly

Yeah, I know what it means to be myself
I know what it means to be different
I know what it means to be livin'
It means you're ugly.

Some days you just can't stand
Those days you can call me a man
Some days I feel a little strange
--And I know
deep in
my bones
I'm ugly

Yeah, I know what it means to be myself
I know what it means to be different
I know what it means to be livin'
It means you're ugly.
Beyond the Open Sea
The only loneliness I've ever known
If you could talk, I wonder what you'd say
If you could see, what would you think of me?
The only friend that I've ever known

Marble castles made out of dreams
Sculpted from my hair
Standing in the doorway still
Won't you take my hand
We can go anywhere
And still there's things unseen
Beyond the edges
Beyond the maps
Beyond the open seas

Languishing in modern day
But not if you believe
Imagine the possibilities
Beyond the open seas

Dare to dream outside the box
It's the least that you can do
If you dream less
You're less than least
A beggar and a fool

[chorus]

So tell me friend, what have you seen
Beyond the open seas
I long to hear the stories that you've gathered from the seams
Believe me, nothing would please me more
Than leave behind these bones
To fly away
Free and gay
To seek the northern shores

Leave me now, I'm not your dream
Dream on without me
If you can reach beyond the sea
You'll have a memory
What kind of friend would I be
If I held you here back?
When you sail on, remember me, that's all that I ask

The only loneliness I've ever known
If you could talk, I wonder what you'd say
If you could see, what would you think of me?
The only friend that I've ever known
The only friend that I've ever known
Running
Where do you go
When you're at your own throat
When your head is the prison
Hope that you'll float

I run

Running from the rain and running from the father
Running from the sun and running from the water
Running from the moon and running from the truth
Running from the pain and running from what soothes
Running from the past and running from the future
Running from the last and running from the new
Running from the thorn and running from the tooth

Can't get away
What are you running from?
What if you can't get away?
What if there's nowhere to go?
What if there's no friend to save
You from all the chaos that
Yo-ou have caused yourself
You don't like to stop and think
And so you keep running

[chorus]

Are you tired yet?
So you start to wonder
Should you really turn back
So you start to wonder
[missing]
Where will this all get you
and have you gone too far
You don't like to stop and think
And so you keep running

[chorus]

Can't get away
You're breaking my heart again
Like you never really left
I haven't really slept
Since you took my heart and stepped.
I know this ain't no way to cope
But I'm stuck here with this hope
That maybe you'll come back
And I don't wanna give up that
So I keep running

[chorus, slowed]

I can't run no more
O-o-oh
There's, no, where, to, go
The prob-lem's, in, my, soul
No footsteps will carry me further.
Five and a half minute hallway
I kissed oblivion
I'm still unsure
I kissed oblivion
I'm still unsure

All these things, that I don't know
Drown these things, that I can see
All these doubts, that I hold
Like to sink their teeth, into me
and I let them
I let them
Overwhelm me
I'm falling

All these words, float away
All these words never meant anything
I'm, still, send-ing my, love to you
Oh, the, things I, wouldn't do

I kissed oblivion
I'm still unsure
I kissed oblivion
I'm still unsure

I'm still scared
Of all these things I don't know
Dancing around
The emptiness invisible
My feverish mantra
Pushes me further
From understanding
All the others

The distance keeps growing
Though I keep running
There's no escaping
What is coming

The rules are just toys
You don't have a choice
If you keep screaming
You won't have a voice

I kissed oblivion
and I lost my mind
I kissed oblivion
and I lost my mind

All these things, that I don't know
Drown these things, that I can see
All these doubts, that I hold
Like to sink their teeth, into me
and I let them
I let them
Overwhelm me
I'm falling

Your shadow
It haunts me
One dange-rous
Memory
Or is it
That I'm sick?
Of a - five and one - half minute - hallway

I kissed oblivion
and I lost my mind
I kissed oblivion
I'm still unsure

I kissed oblivion
and I lost my mi-i-i-ind
I kissed oblivion
I'm still unsure

Goodbye now
Goodbye.
The Viking song
Blood in the water
Lead me to the slaughter
A moment of madness
Throw out all the ballast
All hands to the oars
All aft to the fore
I want that ship and all the blood on board
Ah-ow!

Riding the waves and 
Riding the thunder
Oh-whoa-ho
Onward to plunder
To thieve and to sunder
oh-whoa-ho

Nurse your hateful heart
You're going to need it
Sharpen that sword boy
You're going to use it

At our back Cthulhu
At our front Cu Culann
Oh-whoa-ho!

Let loose the dogs of war
They're eager to please
Gnaw on the bones of all
Mine enemies

So listen now boy
And hear me well
When you start hearin'
Dea-he-heth's knells
You better be, holding on to your sword
Cause THAT's the only way you're MEETING the LORD
Ah-ow!

Riding the waves and 
Riding the thunder
Oh-whoa-ho
Onward to plunder
To thieve and to sunder
oh-whoa-ho

Wash ashore like the dead in the night
They're about to get a nasty surprise
The watchman didn't even get off a note
You better run, it's your only hope
Ah-ow!

Riding the waves and 
Riding the thunder
Oh-whoa-ho
Onward to plunder
To thieve and to sunder
oh-whoa-ho

You better run, it's your only hope
It's the reign of the unholy host!

Riding the waves and
Riding the thunder
A-HEY!
