Your beautiful name 

it's first full glory to these eyes

summoned pikake, a sweetness

floating on a temperate ocean breeze,

and a sunset, a thousand amorous

brushstrokes in an endless sky.

Your beautiful name

recalled another time,

another heart, splintered 

from love and loss, mourning

a home, no longer hers, no longer

sanctuary, a heritage severed 

and cast into the waters.

You can be amazing

You can turn a phrase into a weapon or a drug

You can be the outcast

Or be the backlash of somebody's lack of love

Or you can start speaking up

Nothing's gonna hurt you the way that words do

When they settle 'neath your skin

Kept on the inside and no sunlight

Sometimes a shadow wins

But I wonder what would happen if you

Say what you wanna say

And let the words fall out

Honestly, I wanna see you be brave

With what you want to say

And let the words fall out

Honestly, I wanna see you be brave

I just wanna see you

I just wanna see you

I just wanna see you

I wanna see you be brave

I just wanna see you

I just wanna see you

I just wanna see you

I wanna see you be brave

Everybody's been there,

Everybody's been stared down by the enemy

Fallen for the fear

And done some disappearing,

Bow down to the mighty

Don't run, just stop holding your tongue

Maybe there's a way out of the cage where you live

Maybe one of these days you can let the light in

Show me how big your brave is

Say what you wanna say

And let the words fall out

Honestly, I wanna see you be brave

With what you want to say

And let the words fall out

Honestly, I wanna see you be brave

And since your history of silence

Won't do you any good,

Did you think it would?

Let your words be anything but empty

Why don't you tell them the truth?

Say what you wanna say

And let the words fall out

Honestly, I wanna see you be brave

With what you want to say

And let the words fall out

Honestly, I wanna see you be brave

I just wanna see you

I just wanna see you

I just wanna see you

I wanna see you be brave

I just wanna see you

I just wanna see you

I just wanna see you

See you be brave

I just wanna see you (yeah)

I just wanna see you (oh ooh)

I just wanna see you

I just wanna see you

I just wanna see you

I just wanna see you

And you guessed it ;) it's by Demi Lovato

Lionheart:

Your light is inside of me

Like a raging roar

Like an ocean born

You're in my veins

Your voice is serenity

When the Sun goes down

And the strength I've found

Is in my veins

Our story binds us

Like right and wrong

Your hand in mine

Marching to the beat of the stars

And we walk together into the light

And my love will be your armor tonight

We are lionhearts

And we stand together facing a war

And our love is gonna conquer it all

We are lionhearts

You're here like a silhouette

When the darkness rules

You're the brightest moon

And I am safe

The story binds us

Like right and wrong

Your hand in mine

Marching to the beat of the stars

And we walk together into the light

And my love will be your armor tonight

We are lionhearts

And we stand together facing a war

And our love is gonna conquer it all

We are lionhearts

You're never far from where I am

Like a lighthouse, bring me home

You're never far from me

Let your spirit glow

And we walk together into the light

And my love will be your armor tonight

We are lionhearts

And we stand together facing a war

And our love is gonna conquer it all

We are lionhearts

And we walk together into the light

And my love will be your armor tonight

We are lionhearts

For @GhoulCircus and @Skull, because I've always been drawn to the darker side of things, and I enjoy your dark writes. And who wouldn't want a song about being different (or a freak, depending on whose eyes are viewing you) dedicated to them?! It's one of my favorites. Enjoy!

Take another shot at me. I love the way you HATE ME!

I don't care if I'm not good enough for you

And I don't care if I don't live the lie you want me to

And I don't care what you wanna think of me

'Cause all you want is everything that I don't want to be

You say I'm a freak. I say I am free.

Come take a shot at me. I love the way you hate me!

You say I'm insane. I say you're afraid.

I get stronger from the pain. I love the way you hate me!

Take another shot at me. I love the way you hate me!

You think I'm nothing 'cause I'm nothing like you

You think you know me. You have no idea what I've been through!

So take a shot, say what you want about me

'Cause all you are is everything that I will never be

You say I'm a freak. I say I am free.

Come take a shot at me. I love the way you hate me!

You say I'm insane. I say you're afraid.

I get stronger from the pain. I love the way you hate me!

I'd rather be a sinner than a slave!

I'd rather be an outcast than just bow down and obey.

When it's all done, there is only one name upon my grave!

I'd rather be a freak than be a fake!

Tell me I'm a freak.

Tell me I'm a creep.

Tell me I'm obscene.

HATE ME!

You say I'm insane. I say you're afraid.

I get stronger from the pain. I love the way hate me!

I love the way you hate me!

I love the way you hate me!

(I don't care)

I love the way you HATE ME!

Keep drinkin' coffee

Stare me down across the table

While I look outside

So many things I'd say if only I were able

But I just keep quiet

And count the cars that pass by

You've got opinions, man

We're all entitled to 'em

But I never asked

So let me thank you for your time

And try to not waste any more of mine

Get out of here fast

I hate to break it to you, babe

But I'm not drowning

There's no one here to save

Who cares if you disagree?

You are not me

Who made you king of anything?

So you dare tell me who to be

Who died and made you king of anything?

Oh (oh oh oh)

Oh (oh oh oh)

Oh (oh oh oh)

Oh (oh oh oh)

You sound so innocent

All full of good intent

You swear you know best

But you expect me to

Jump up on board with you

And ride off into your delusional sunset

I'm not the one who's lost

With no direction oh

But you'll never see

You're so busy makin' maps

With my name on them in all caps

You've got the talkin' down

Just not the listening

And who cares if you disagree?

You are not me

Who made you king of anything?

So you dare tell me who to be

Who died and made you king of anything?

All my life

I've tried

To make everybody happy while I

Just hurt

And hide

Waitin' for someone to tell me it's my turn

To decide.

Oh (oh oh oh)

Oh (oh oh oh)

Oh (oh oh oh)

Oh (oh oh oh)

Who cares if you disagree?

You are not me.

Who made you king of anything?

So you dare tell me who to be.

Who died and made you king of anything?

Who cares if you disagree?

You are not me.

Who made you king of anything?

So you dare tell me who to be.

Who died and made you king of anything?

Let me hold your crown, babe.

Oh ohhhhhhhhhhh

Ahhhhhhhhhhh

Jezebel by Acidbath

When the Kite String Pops, 1994

••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

If I took this cigarette and put it out on you...

Would you love me?

Her lips are red

Her thighs are white

Her heart is dead

Jezebel

Red rope burns

around her wrists

Her blood is cold

a serpents kiss

Do you love your whore?

I like to hear you beg

She crouched down in the corner with her

head between her legs

Jezebel

Broken glass and dirty needles

Soul erosion truth

Electric god

Our superman

found dead in a telephone booth

Shards of teeth

Ice pick abortions

Orgasmic death so warm

Lets die screamin'

Black goat semen

I can't hear you whisper "conform"

Hearts will stop

and brain cells pop

Apocalyptic high

She screams bloody murder

as they chop off her fingers

So this is how it feels to die

But it's ok

Yeah, everything's ok

She was screaming about conspiracy

Talkin' about taking sides

I was masturbating,

just contemplating

The cold love of suicide

Hearts will stop and brain cells pop

Apocalyptic high

She screams bloody murder

as they chop off her fingers

So this is how it feels to die

But it's okay

Yeah, everything's okay

For @rowrow1990 - because you are a depraved woman that takes violence and sex and corruption and puts them into the kind of reading material that normal women read with alarm, hiding their illicit copies in fake dust-jackets. You sexy bitch. I thought you might appreciate this song as much as I do. <3

Paperback writer

Dear Sir or Madam, will you read my book?

It took me years to write, will you take a look?

It's based on a novel by a man named Lear

And I need a job, so I want to be a paperback writer

Paperback writer

It's the dirty story of a dirty man

And his clinging wife doesn't understand

His son is working for the Daily Mail

It's a steady job but he wants to be a paperback writer

Paperback writer

Paperback writer

It's a thousand pages, give or take a few

I'll be writing more in a week or two

I can make it longer if you like the style

I can change it round and I want to be a paperback writer

Paperback writer

If you really like it you can have the rights

It could make a million for you overnight

If you must return it, you can send it here

But I need a break and I want to be a paperback writer

The day our house collapsed

I went down stream

I followed the swans

Like I follow my dreams

Oh, I was living on borrowed time in a

Borrowed house for a borrowed crime

In need of help I came to your door

Saw the spike of the railings from the 28/3rd floor

Singing, "Build your castle, stop collecting stones

And the river bed shall not be your home"

To the lighthouse my friend

I bless your words and education

To the lighthouse my friend

Just go, just go

To the lighthouse my friend

I am sorry that you came to find

'Great great minds

Against themselves conspire'

Now the bombs drop around our feet

Do we throw them back or bow and greet them

Everyone now, is so terrified

Of the glowing dark and those orange skies

Sing it, 'Build your castle, stop throwing stones

'Cause those fire birds are coming down on our homes"

To the lighthouse my friends

It cannot even be a question

To the lighthouse my friends

We must go, we must go

For Monk, I love you darling.

@samosley, this song is dedicated to you ❤️

"God Gave Me You"

I've been a walking heartache

I've made a mess of me

The person that I've been lately

Ain't who I wanna be

But you stay here right beside me

And watch as the storm blows through

And I need you

Cause God gave me you for the ups and downs

God gave me you for the days of doubt

And for when I think I lost my way

There are no words here left to say, it's true

God gave me you

Gave me you

There's more here than what we're seeing

A divine conspiracy

That you, an angel lovely

Could somehow fall for me

You'll always be love's great martyr

And I'll be the flattered fool

And I need you

Yeah!

God gave me you for the ups and downs

God gave me you for the days of doubt

And for when I think I lost my way

There are no words here left to say, it's true

God gave me you

On my own I'm only

Half of what I could be

I can't do without you

We are stitched together

And what love has tethered

I pray we never undo

Cause God gave me you for the ups and downs

God gave me you for the days of doubt

God gave me you for the ups and downs

God gave me you for the days of doubt

And for when I think I lost my way

There are no words here left to say, it's true

God gave me you, gave me you

He gave me you
