Rose Lalonde fansong! Second in a set I'm doing of all the Beta Kids. My first A Capella song - it was absurdly difficult to make, so it's not perfect, but pretty good for a first shot, I think!

Once upon a fairy tale, a heroine was born
with heart as black as space and darkness, from which she was torn
and in this fairy tale, she spoke an ancient tongue
the ink as bleary as the void from which our hero’d sprung
she took her thorns in hand, heard the voices from afar
lost her mind and took command, played the game and here you are.

Little lilac wizard girl, with hair as white as snow
you’ll go on an adventure, testing everything you know
you’ll see the world asleep, and see the light awake
find dissonance upon your planet old, which you will break
forsake thy mother’s name, she’s not with you anymore
grab your books and play the game, prepare yourself for what we’ve got in store.

There’s more to darkness than your mind can see
an endless reach of possibilities
no justice, vengeance, no concept of right
yes, darkness is more than an absence of Light.

Little golden goddess girl, with smile as black as ice
take down the universe, and then give it your best advice
the horror is your friend, the terror loves you best
so go now, and push into motion all objects at rest
see through the veil of white, fall into a gothic trance
woe is your perfected sight, you know best that naught is hand of chance

to dance with black death is your specialty
perchance to dabble in what things might be
beneath your eyelids lies an endless night
yes, close your eyes and find an absence of Light. 

Lay your weary head to rest and drift on many waves
and waken after slumber dwindles down the many days
left on the calendar that’s ticking in your mind
a ticking bomb gripped tightly by the tentacles of time
until the clock runs out, paths converging once more
end of all is coming now, you will fade, becoming naught but lore

There’s more to darkness than your mind can see
an endless reach of possibilities
no justice, vengeance, no concept of right
yes, darkness is more than an absence of Light.

Ringle All The Way

Steam Powered Giraffe - Wired Wrong

i have sex every day
I get high every way
play with my body every day
I'm a rockstar, baby, I'm a rockstar

i have sex every day
I get high every way
play with my body every day
I'm a rockstar, baby, I'm a rockstar

Tripping with jenny on the subway
The girls were looking my way (all day)
I thought nothing at all
I am rock hard
Baby, I'll stay rock hard

On the walk home
rain started to fall
hair got wet
dont care at all

through the mud 
i continue to walk
i dont care like a rockstar
i dont care like a rockstar

with the wet hair
dripping like a rockstar
I don't care
I get high like a rock star

I will hurt you but
you love me like a rockstar
Gonna hurt you
its my nature as a rockstar

Just shut up and fuck me,
Im a rockstar
Come get me high
Im a rockstar
Go hype me up
Im a rockstar
Go on take pictures
Im a rockstar

I have sex every day
Get high every way
Play with my body every day
Im a rockstar, baby, Im a rockstar
I have sex every day
Get high every way
Play with my body every day like a
Im a rockstar, baby, Im a rockstar
Im a rockstar, baby, Im a rockstar
Im a rockstar, baby, Im a rockstar
Im a rockstar, baby, Im a rockstar

I'm a rockstar

찬란했던 어둠이 덮이면
긴 생각에 잠겨
나를 집어삼켜

오, 오 사라져 버린 옛 꿈아
바라고 바라던 내 꿈아
오, 오 사라져 버린 옛 꿈아

영원하자던 약속조차
먼지처럼 저물어 간다
지나간 시절은 돌아오지 않을 걸 잘 알면서

오, 오 사라져 버린 옛 꿈아
바라고 바라던 내 꿈아
오, 오 사라져 버린 옛 꿈아

- 꿈이 사라져 버린 모든 이에게

사라진 꿈에게

Under Pressure

Sometimes I fear I'll scare you off
Letting emotions get carried away
Why do these thoughts keep coming back
And why don't they stay
It's moments like this

Most times I hate who I've become
Hiding my heart behind these walls
I know why I built them
But what makes them fall

It's moments like this
It's moments like this
That take my fears away
And make me feel love again
In moments like this

When I feel restless and alone
I start to convince myself it's fake
Surely you couldn't care for me
But that feeling fades
In moments like this

Laying there with you in the car
Passing the street lamps that highlight your face
I felt so at peace then
It'd be fine if I died

In moments like this
In moments like this
I feel like I'm in a dream
Floating carelessly down the stream
Washed away are the doubts I hide
In my heart where you burrowed inside
Because of moments like this

Moments Like This

Bits n' Pieces

I Don't Know

Lyrics:
Never the right time to come back down
Too many ways to cover your shit up
Taking it outside and out of mind
Does it work
Or is it eating ya

End of conversation
Sing along or leave it alone
Give me isolation
I need another minute alone
I'll cancel my vacation
Gonna take a little minute to get over the blood

Oh my god
Remind me not to mention
Something wrong
Divider of attention
Oh my god
Reply without admission
Oh my god
I know, I know

Never the right time to come back down
Too many ways to cover your shit up
Taking it outside and out of mind
Does it work
Or does it eat ya
Delicate creature, if I say so
Digging a grave but calling it shelter
Picking the right time to cut too close
Does it work
Or is it eating ya

Peeking through your fingers
Never gonna leave you alone
Afterimage lingers
Reliving it the minute you don't
No better day for anger
Better keep it in your throat and don't let anyone know

Oh my god
The violent indecision
Something wrong
Demanding of attention
All I know
The light is worth the bruises
Oh my god
I know, I know

It's never the right time to come back down
Too many ways to cover your shit up
Taking it outside and out of mind
Does it work
Or does it eat ya
Delicate creature, if I say so
Digging a grave but calling it shelter
Picking the right time to cut too close
Does it work
Or is it eating ya

It's never the right time to come back down
Too many ways to cover your shit up
Taking it outside and out of mind
Does it work
Or does it eat ya
Delicate creature, if I say so
Digging a grave but calling it shelter
Picking the right time to cut too close
Does it work
Or is it eating ya
