FAIR WARNING THIS IS NOT FILK. Don't like don't listen.

A song I wrote for my girlfriend for valentines day.

LYRICS
~~

Said the cricket to the hamster
you looked lonely sitting on your own
so I decided to come join you
because we share a cage, we share a home
Said the hamster to the cricket
I am fine alone, it's what I choose
but the cricket was persistent
she knew all the tricks and chirps to use

now I'm splitting open like a broken backpack
Sometimes I'm nothing without something to laugh at
But I built a hundred worlds with you
Inside a sleepless cage
and I'm still laughing, 'cause we've barely filled a page

Said the cricket to the hamster
I am so cold, I'm always shivering
She pressed her fingers to her lovers neck
and in a breath removed them grinning
Said the hamster to the cricket
I am not of a romantic mind
I am just a little rodent
and all my love is of a strange, confusing kind

But if you are toppling, like a pin that's on it's tip
I'll be your cushion, stick in me when you start to slip
I believed my twisted thoughts would stay locked up 
and never find an ear
But I'm running out of secrets, and it's barely been a year

and I made new secrets
new secrets with you
I'm sorry I bit at our edges just to find something to chew
But buried behind all my in-jokes and injuries, all of my sarcasm too
there is just a silly girl who's falling in love with you

said the hamster to the cricket
I think sherbert is on sale today
I'll bring the pixy stix and liquor
if you provide us with a place to stay

The Cricket And The Hamster

Homestuck filk. An Eridan Ampora fansong I recorded with a sore throat and a headache, don't ask me why...but I kind of like the result.

LYRICS
~~

I am a prince and I live in a ship and I aim my rifle and I shoot from the hip
and I have a friend I pity quite a bit
she said “grab your gun let's have some fun, share with me your perigees 
I have responsibilities, I cannot run!” 

“I do not wish the death of any living thing, 
I might be a killer but one day I shall be queen 
and put an end to  slaughter, but until then I'm keen 
on staking claim to land and sea and everyfin between.”

I played a game with eleven fools who told me not to break the rules
but when have angels ever helped me yet?
and magic isn't real and anyway it doesn't matter 
cause no matter what I conjure it could not help be me deflect

the angry death of every hopeful thought 
that I might be a lover or a fighter that I’m not 
in someones spider web or net I could be caught 
but I'm too bitter, better off alone, guess I forgot

So what? Do you want me to say sorry?
should I apologize, when you ignore me?
I didn't ask to be right or to be lonely
or to be hatched into an ugly story

I am a prince and I had a pair of princesses in two sharp squares
but then I guess I bored them both to death
And now I think my calling is to break apart and fall to pieces
better yet invent a brand new method of ascension

I'm impressed, you've managed to survive 
but rest assured we'd all be better off dead than alive 
cause when they get a-hold of us we'll all be batter fried 
and I'm surprised that nobody's considered switching sides

So here I am, respectfully and royally destroying 
any chance of getting back on your good gills
And I don't want to be hurtful but if yellows the new purple 
well then bleeding's the new breathing, don't you think I will! 

I used to wish the death of every living thing 
I might be your killer but you'd never be my queen 
so put away your laughter, pack up your hopes and dreams 
I'm done with black back-handing and red pandering, it seems

That I am just pathetic, I won't be overlooked  
I'm past the point of fishing to get back upon your hook 
I've made a manifesto, I've been bested by a crook, but never more! 
I'm planning on reclaiming what he took...

So what? do you want me to say sorry?
should I apologize, when you ignore me?
I didn't ask to be right or to be lonely
or to be hatched into an ugly story
to be hatched into an ugly story

Oh my, this pantomime is getting gory

I am a prince and I live in a ship
I am a prince and I live in a ship

LYRICS
~~

We all have got a role to play
the lioness she stalks her prey
he's bleeding in the tall grass, unaware his thrashing makes him easier to follow
But when she gets him in her claws
she'll invite him in because
her cave is not a home without him, just a hole that is lonely and hollow

And can't you see the writing on the wall is drawing us together?
It's written there in soot and ash and blood and that's furever.
And so if you are terrified, of what you hide, remember
That I'm still on your side, and that's furever...furever...

We all have got a role to play
You'll be filling yours someday
and I'll be filling mine until then we're killing time, hunting monsters in our minds
and when I see you standing strong
Pretending you don't want to play along
I'll never make you blue (or make you pay) I'll tackle you into a pile to unwind

And can't you see the writing on the wall is drawing us together?
It's written there in soot and ash and blood and that's furever.
And so if you have been denied, choke up your pride, remember
That I am on your side, and that's furever...furever...furever.

I don't have to argue, everybody knows you have issues, you lay your colors bare (in a manner of speaking) 
I'll be there when you finally decide to bare your heart, it's the part I want to share

And I don't have to argue, everybody knows you have issues, you wear them on your sleeves (so to speak) 
I'm not a thief, the only jewels that I need are your diamonds, and I find them following

The bows and arrows, in your words
The words behind your broken teeth
The broken glass that's under foot, and paw and hoof
the high and low, whatever nonsense you believe

The vast unknown laid out ahead, 
The tears and anger, good and bad
The big adventure still at hand, and paw and whiskers.
Grey, blue, red, whatever, I will understand!

And can't you see the writing on the wall is drawing us together?
We're written there in soot and ash and blood and that's furever
And so if I've been too discrete, let me repeat, remember
That I'm still on your side, and that's furever... furever...

Furever.

A Sollux Captor fansong with Sollux<3Aradia Undertones and some rather silly voice acting. More lighthearted than a lot of my other stuff.

LYRICS

(Heh. This is ridiculous.)

One of me is my enemy 
the other me is a pretty cool guy 
but I haven't seen him around lately 
we don't see eye to eye

There's too much noise and too much spit 
but I think I've gotten the hang of it 
or at least I thought I did 
until you up and kicked the bucket 
(Wait! I mean... oh, f*ck it)

(Would you just get out of here? I'm trying to concentrate!)

What do you see in him? What could I say 
to convince you not to hop his way? 
I've never been too good at the ebb and sway 
much prefer the electrical current

The bees are buzzing in my mind 
that double crossing and two-timing (get it?) 
prospectors pan shifting through sand 
searching for a golden nugget

Little brains build little bridges trying to connect, but I'm already on the other side, 
you'd know a lot about that, right? I'm twice the man as he is, I'll work for you double-time

Would that be fine?

:D *SNARKY WHISTLE BREAK!* :D

(C'mon seriously?)

Of course it's fine.

(Okay, cut it out. That's it. I'm serious. No whistling.)

Primarily, I'm primary 
though some may say I'm incomplete 
and should be in a jar 
label me “DO NOT EAT”

Hope has struck me in the face 
and with his ace of clubs he shoved me 
back into the race 
cause second place still wins a trophy

I might have overheated, now remind me how I died, was it my motherboard, or just my RAM? 
Now I've found a player two in you, I'm glad I fried, I'm using every second that I can 
of Double Time, Double Time...

Double trouble bursting bubbles 
Where you go I'll follow 
Hollow-eyed and now I'm fine 
I'm only making up for lost time

Tick and tock and red and blue 
The colours and the sounds I never knew 
When they were all I saw 
Now sightless-eyed and empty-jawed

Double Time...

(...Oh geeze, what is it now? Okay, here. Give it over here. You're just making it worse.

But don't bug me anymore unless it's an emergency, okay?...)

Double Time

Some experimental, sort of jazzy, rather dark Equius Filk. I recommend headphones for this one.

LYRICS

Little boy blue, don't you play too rough with your new toy
if you touch her, she'll break and her blood is so annoying
don't you like to watch, much like a shadow lost in the shade?
Make her, you'll unmake her, but you'd rather be unmade

Oh 
It's not my place to interfere, my dear
Oh, no
Will you embrace me and erase my fear?
Woah
Wipe me out like a stain, with a grin I will hang from your string
And by your judgment of my merit I'll inherit nothing

Nothing is what I deserve
Nothing is what I have earned
If nothing is what you have chosen to give me
Then nothing is for what I yearn
Nothing lasts forever, nothing really matters
Nothing never breaks, busts, bends, rusts, upends or shatters.

I've never had a weakness that couldn't be destroyed
And I've never had a sinful thought that couldn't be avoided
Control your temper, control your language, or anguish in languid soul
It's what you were born to do, but you'd rather be controlled

Oh
I just presumed that you’d refuse me
Oh, no
Excuse this common fool his crudity
Woah
Break this wild horse, I will not fight, 'cause of course I would win
And I'd much rather give in and bare it all 'till I inheret nothing

Nothing is what I deserve
Nothing is what I have earned
If nothing is what you have chosen to give me
Then nothing is for what I yearn
Nothing lasts forever, nothing really matters
Nothing never breaks, busts, bends, rusts, upends or shatters.

I must obey the order, for I've order to restore
Each circuit sends a signal to the process in the core
and if none of this means anything than what's my anger for?
I'd rather be most anything, the dirt under your heel my king, 
a peasant or a pauper, or a knight in shining armor
what's required of your noble steed? Through your direction I am freed 
and neigh I say! I wont stand in the way of what you have decreed for-

Nothing is what I deserve
Nothing is what I have earned
If nothing is what you have chosen to give me
Then nothing is for what I yearn
Nothing lasts forever, nothing really matters
Nothing never breaks and nothing never shatters.

Inherit Nothing

Feferi Filk! My longest fansong yet! Very folky and mood-whiplash-y, so if it's too slow for you at first wait a bit. :)

LYRICS

There was a darkness, that soothed me, and raised me up to dream
in an abyss, those nightmares, they're not what they seem
they whispered of a world they'd known
where every child was their own 
all the colours of an oil spill when moonlight hits the wave, I'll save you all.

You've seen all the things that I've seen, you've been all the places I've been, my friend
you know all the things that I know, well maybe not all but most so who cares who is better or worse than anyone?
I've made mistakes along the way, but who said things should stay the same, I don't agree
the universe is filled with so “moray” new exciting things to sea, for you an me

you don't need saving, you can save yourself
you're all so special from the inside out, 
Just take a second, look how far we've come
I bet if the nightmares could see me now they'd say well done

well done, well done, well done daughter, daughter well done.

There was a darkness, that knew me, and raised me wild and strong
so hated, and so feared was she, though fearful most of all
she whispered of a hunger deep
and as old as the bones beneath her meat
all strange serenades and never sleeps yet never wakes, I'll break your fall

you've done everything that you could, you feel like there's something else you're supposed to do
who crossed that road, who burned that bridge, who fought that current and swam with the fish, was it you?
I've lost a friend, I've gained a friend, what's a friend mean but a means to an end? I tried my best with
everyone I've ever loved ill outlive unless I can find where life inside me rests, it is my test

You don't need saving, anymore, anymore
but I'm still waving from a not-so-distant shore
just take a second, look at what you'll start
I'm sorry that I couldn't save you, from darkness inside your heart

your heart, your heart, your hardened heart, friend...

Save You

I said a word
it got caught in my throat, and it burned
slipped off my tongue and I choked,
you were concerned for a second 
then cries echoed into the night, lesson learned

because you heard a word 
that I said, and this word how it rang 
in your head, it was loud and glorious, yes
and from where you lay on my chest 
well, you heard it best

but you held me closely while I screamed
and I watched the thinnest trails of green 
run down your neck, and drip from your chin 
thin trails of green, thin lines, on gray skin

Thin lines on gray skin
Thin lines on gray skin
where they world ends that's were we begin
my thin line, my thin line

I said a word
was it a blessing or curse?
Nobody knows the whole story, 
nobody hears me but you 
and you would have heard more if you could have I'm sure

because you heard my word, 
you still do with your hands, eyes and rest of you too
little stray on my lap, zealot, hellcat
can't forgive what I did to my dream-maker, 
(has thou forsaken her?)

And if you knew what I knew, would you object?
Are we madmen or soothsayers? Truthfully, sweet heretic?
I bit off the bit that silenced the world for you, sewed up my sin
With thin threads of black, thin lines on gray skin

Thin lines on gray skin
Thin lines on gray skin
when they world ends, that's where our work begins
my thin line, my thin line

Thin Lines

You call me down for Christmas cake
Although that's not a thing, I sigh
but I take a plate, I take a bite
and the look that you give me is heavy with pride

You bring me sticks that you find in the wild 
and I count every one and then hang them 
over the fire with patterns of wire and bow 
then we roll on the carpet and howl in the snow

There is a place that I'm home
In condos, apartments, in suburbs and islands
there is a face that I know
and wherever it is I find that my Christmas isn’t cold

You wake me up by dumping presents 
on my bed and forcing my head 
into a hat that's red and white, 
then it's up to the roof for a snowball fight

You get the brandy and offer me some 
although we both know I'm too young 
and when I refuse you're amused then pass out 
so I turn on the reruns and watch them with you on the couch

There is a place that I'm home
In condos, apartments, in suburbs and islands
there is a face that I know
and wherever it is I find that my Christmas isn’t cold
that my Christmas isn’t cold

It's the end of the day and it's way too late 
but I log in just to say “Hi!”
What's up? What did you get? What was your Christmas like?

There is a place that I'm home
In condos, apartments, in suburbs and islands
there is a face that I know
and wherever it is I find that my Christmas isn’t cold
my Christmas isn’t cold (x6)
Ho, ho, ho...home.

Hello, my candy coated darling, it's your vanilla baby
I've come to say I love you and I always have
I find it so amusing, I used to be confused and
afraid that you would never love me back

But now I see that we were always meant to be
you and me forever planting lots of family trees
counting out our children, half a zillion at least
we'll name the boys for you and we will name the girls for me

Hello, the sour peach of my skin, the sweetest poison icing
so tasty it could rot your teeth and brain
The chaotic consumption, the diabetic gumption
to do a thing like make me go insane

and leave this plane of reality completely
float among the clouds of pink and blue cotton candy
let's blast into space and race around like airplanes
spreading multicolored chem-trails, soda pop and acid rain

Feels so neat! Never wanna be myself again, I just wanna be SW--E--ET!
Feels so fun! Never wanna come back down...

Goodbye to heartbreak on my birthday, annoying boys who hurt me
with all the stupid things they do and say
I can't even remember, what I was so upset for
Spun sugar melts in water anyway

So no more crying, dry those tears, I'll end your pain
Soon you'll feel the cherry syrup running through your veins
Heaven is a grinning face with not a trace of shame
Take a taste of every flavour, favour anything but plain

Feels so neat! Never wanna be myself again, I just wanna be SW--E--ET!
Feels so fun! Never wanna come back down....

Sweet

Boy, you get my guts tied up in such a twisted noisy ruckus
Heaven sent that you are, wouldn't lift a claw or cut me off 'cause
Rambling as I ever am I shamble to your chair and stables
Watch you all enraptured as you shuffle cards and stutter fables

Break my habit, you're my habit, I'd trade my limbs for one of you
Two legs for two lips, now I'd say that's a fair trade, wouldn't you?
Drop my habit, you're my habit, I'd trade my habit to get you back and I'm
Like a fool without a calling, like a heartsick fool

Boy, you like to play the martyr, but if I pray a little harder
If I close the window and come back here when I'm not so sober
If I said it plainly not in riddle-rhymes, all cagey, 
Would you answer with a smile made of brackets or look at me strangely?

Break my habit, you're my habit, I'd trade my limbs for one of you
Two legs for two lips, now I'd say that's a fair trade, wouldn't you?
Drop my habit, you were my habit, I'd trade my habit to get you back and 
It's you and I again just writing, shiftless, click clack clicking, grinning 
Like a fool without a calling, like a heartsick fool

Boy, you're on the floor and on my fingers, dripping from my kisses
Eyes so vacant, would you hate it, if I said you look delicious?
The laughter dies and rots inside me, brother, it is you all over
Stay beside me here and guide me, unrequited would-be lover

Took my miracle, you're my miracle, I'd trade my brains for one of you
Two gods for two voices, I'd say that's a fair trade, wouldn't you?
Need a miracle, you're my miracle, I'd trade a miracle to get you back and I'm
Left without a friend, soaked to the bone and backwards bent 
I'm seeing shades, screaming repent your sickness leave it here for lent 
Now witness, here, a fool without a calling! I'm a heartsick fool.
Still the fool without a calling, still a fucking fool.
