Song by Jo Malicdem
Production by Gabe Perez

Sweet Tooth

warm, 
soft and sure 
the feeling of things that are 
oh so pure 

honey,
sweet as can be 
you whisper in my ear  
take my hand and then we'll be 

swoonin 
swoonin
my love is a-bloomin
i want you to know 
that the fire is consuming 
me 

piece 
piece by piece 
picking myself up 
ridding the corrupt 

thoughts 
lost and found 
twirling round and round
wanting a 'safe and sound'
with you

me and you
please stay true
to me and you

swoonin 
swoonin
your love is intruding 
i now have to show
that the fire is consuming 
me

Swoonin (Final Cut)

this song is a note to myself. enjoy, and get sp o o ked

lyrics:

feel my lungs, and you’ll see
how they burn
with jealousy
trudge through each day, they tell me 
how far will i run
until i’m seen?
ground yourself, it’ll be fine 
wait for a sign
to claim as mine 

disassociate yourself 
or lose control 
lay off, don’t overbear 
don’t shift your mold 
get a grip, grab a rail 
take a breath 
don’t derail 

the blinds are twiddling toward me 
the darkness sets in
encasing me 
there’s coldness at my fingertips 
i’d sing with the voices in my head but 
down blood drips 

disassociate yourself 
to lose control
lay off, don’t overbear 
your feelings can’t be told 
get a grip, grab the rail
take a breath 
don’t derail

Derail Demo

i wrote this about an imaginary boy just over a year ago and i'm just now uploading it haha enjoy 

lyrics:
look, heres the thing 
I’m an independent girl
who likes to sing 

in my thoughts, ideas roam free
about how i’ll rule the world
and explore the unseen

but then, you came round
making anything but a sound
then to my surprise 
a glimmer escaped your eyes

and you said
ooo 
missy my my
oooo
how you make sigh 


i guess your kinda cute
but I’ve got priorities
…. dang 
you look good in a suit 

i suppose it’d be nice 
a picnic in the park would suffice

in my head 
ooo
mister my my 
oooo
how I’ve been so blind 

now i feel like I’m sick 
when i see you, i go ick
then you say i’m just smitten 
and that now the plot thickens 

and we say
ooo 
honey, hi hi 
ooo
we’ll pursue our dreams and we’ll touch the sky
because now 
that you’re mine

Honey - original song

Happy February! FINALLY! A ~happy~ love song! Enjoy :")

with love,
Faif 

Sing along: 

when in love 
the world is tinted pink
the voice of the one you love 
is soothing enough to drink 

when in love 
the air tastes so sweet 
as if their scent has tainted and 
clouded your mind til you can’t think

when in love 
passion pours from within
no matter the case, no matter the place
no matter the pain you’ve been in

when in love
much is gained, none is lost
cause when in love you come as one
and realize just what you’ve both won 

when in love
pairs of lips and hands both meet
in between a dance in every epic romance
if only the moment wouldn’t fleet
-
find me!

When in Love

lyrics: 

There's a place I know
Where faces I love tend to glow 
It's where my wishes are granted, granted I 
try my hardest to get by 

Where all my heartache
has gone to fade away
sweet dreams of all things good and pure 
were masked by the chase 

It's a dreamscape
but my heart can’t take 
each flicker of mockery 
in each promise you make

it’s too good to be true 
couldn’t keep me from you
was it the idea of time that
  made our pages askew?

there’s a trace i know 
where patterns of hurt tend to show 
it’s where my hopes and dreams are crushed, it seems 
i rely too much on your scheme
