LYRICS:

GIOVANNI:
Do you hear that sound? (Sylvie screams)

MOLLY:
That beautiful sound? (Sylvie screams)

GIOVANNI:
That is the sound of clean white shorts turning brown!
Torture and pain (SYLVIE: Hey! Hey, hang on!)
Breaking a brain (SYLVIE: I’m not a little pee pee boy!)
A sound that says
"I will never sleep well again!"

(Sylvie screams-- Molly mutes him)

MOLLY:
To silence a scream… It's music to me!
Cathartic enough to stand in for therapy!

Trauma and fear, it sings in my ear

Ain't it the sweetest noise around
That beautiful sound?

GIOVANNI (Spoken):
Ooh! Someone's at the door

Exploding inside a chest

Ain't it the sweetest noise in town
That beautiful sound?

Hey! You know what would make this even more awesome?

All we wanna do is hear that sound
All we wanna do is hear that sound

(Banzai Blasters snicker in the background)
This time I’ll get ‘em for sure! Hehehe!
(Gio shushes the whispering)

ZORA:
Got a bounty for a “Vincent Murder?”

MOLLY:
You just need to know what people are scared of. Watch. OooOOooO!

Sweetest noise around

Homestuck Animation - A Lullaby For Gods

The second of 3 songs I've written about The Adventure Zone

LYRICS:
I see a woman who sees her best friends
But they never really see her
I see a woman in self-imposed exile
Full of regrets but her heart was never alone

Twelve years
Is a long time to be alone
Twelve years
Is a long time to be alone

I see three men who think they're meeting
For the first time in a bar
But they’re brothers through and through
I see a lover who became a fighter
Rebirth for woman #2

Twelve years
Is a long time to be alone
Twelve years
Is a long time to be alone

I see a man who’s silent save one word
Does he know what’s been taken from his life
I see a child has truth, needs love
He’s a star, burning bright

I see a man or he was one once
Til his soul fell apart and ate everything up
I see seven birds
Migrating north

Twelve years
Is a long time to be alone
Twelve years
Is a long time to be alone

I see a woman who sees her best friends
But they never really see her
I see a woman who sees her family
But they never really see her

LYRICS
~

I have lived a hundred lives
and I have died a dozen times
but the reaper hasn't caught me yet
though his scythe is often at my neck

and I have learned a trick or two
though I've forgotten quite a few
and might have told a hundred lies
twice as many half as true

Oh I have been an idiot
missing some key ingredient
and waiting as I fail to rise
never guessing what it meant

I lived adrift on luck and looks
'till hungry hearts struck hard and took
and made afraid of what I'd done
my skills were nil, my friends were none

I could not trust my empty mind
these stolen holes of space and time
the faces, newly strange, I'd find
none of them resembling mine

Oh I have been an idiot
missing some key ingredient
and waiting as I fail to rise
never asking what it meant

I barely cared, and rarely tried
to find some reason I should fight
but in my hand and at my side
you, my heart, my arm did guide

for I had been your long lost twin
closer than a second skin
and now I am alone again
wiser than I've never been

Oh I have been an idiot
missing some key ingredient
but now I know how I will rise
oh how on earth could I forget?
knowing you has made me wise
now I am not an idiot!

An Idiot

Thank you Adventure Zone for the heart-wrenching story, characters and great smiles.

Temporal Shenanigans - Fixed Version

Music by Jacob Ryan Smith 
Lyrics by Gina Smith 

From the moment we both finished listening to the Balance arc of The Adventure Zone, we knew we had to make something to shine a light on one of the most dynamic, well realized characters we've encountered. "Redacted" sees Lucretia, Madame Director of the Bureau of Balance, seconds before she makes the choice that would set the events of The Adventure Zone in motion. 

Lyrics: 
The words that I once loved 
Now drip with unease 
As I step back and at once 
See the forest for the trees 

It won’t matter our intentions 
Our hopes or our plans 
What matters is the end result 
This book in my hands 

No one will know how well we meant 
How much we sacrificed 
Cause this story’s how we broke the world 
And couldn’t pay the price 

So I’ll redact and I’ll revise 
Recut the truth and redefine the lies 
Step back and see our story 
Through the future’s eyes 

An agonizing revision 
Made with exact precision 
Only alone can I see this vision through 
Spare the world 
Then make it back to you 

I’ve the power to change things 
And I know I have to try 
And I called it. I knew it. 
Now I’ve got to pin down why 

Put aside your pride, Lucretia 
Time you stopped pretending 
A story isn’t good 
If we all hate the ending 

I’ve learned that faith is lovely 
But never goes as planned 
If you want something done 
Take it into your own hand 

So I’ll redact and I’ll revise 
Recut the truth and redefine the lies 
Step back and see our story 
Through the future’s eyes 

An agonizing revision 
Made with exact precision 
Only alone can I see this vision through 
Spare the world 
And then make it back to you 

They’ll be safe and they’ll be happy 
When the past is redacted 
Same people and same world 
Just with some bits subtracted 

Give them beaches and sun 
And tastes of their favorite things 
Give them the world 
And a chance to sample the flavor it brings 
Give them crafts and keeps and love 
And a chance to reset 
All the pain of the past 
The stories and songs 
And the choices we’d rather forget 

So I’ll redact and I’ll revise 
Recut the truth and redefine the lies 
Step back and see this story 
Through the future’s eyes 
An agonizing revision 
Made with exact precision 
Only alone can I see this vision through 
Spare the world 
Spare the world 
And then make it back to you

Lovingly called "Fish Song" in my files. The Adventure Zone: Balance spoilers. Takes place when Magnus walks in on Lucretia about to feed their lives to a fish.

lyrics:

little girl tries sleeping in the fireplace at home
no one banished her inside it, she just lay down on her own
she stares up into the darkness of the chimney and she hopes
that someday she may go up in smoke

oh, the ends of her hair curl into embers in the wood
beneath her head like a pillow, splintered shoulders in the soot
flickers turn to flame and moves in kisses up her arms
it loves her, so refuses her a scar

she doesn't burn
oh, she learns

pretty girl sits quiet in the coffee shop alone
staring empty out the window like she used to do at home
she feels his eyes fall down upon her from the counter, like a doe
the ache of yearning blisters in her bones

he follows her up to the hill where water never works
to send him down she broke his crown and blessed him with a curse
her only kiss a smear of kerosene, a desperation unrehearsed
and love made sure to let her know it hurts (love made sure it hurt)

he burns
oh, she learns

learns that breathing screamsmoke blackens hearts as much as lungs
it can’t be coughed back out and she can’t glisten like the sun
there’s no one left to save with love and no one she can touch
affection is the pyre built on wildfire in the brush

her hands were only ever made to press through burning flesh
and boiling tears won’t put it out but scald it like the rest
and the love of waxen women makes no difference in the end
if never she can make and keep a simple human friend

she can’t burn
oh, she’s learned

firesorrow girl says, “hang me up; i’d like to go” (i would like to go)
this isn’t quite a chimney she can column up to choke (i choose now to choke)
the weighted hand upon her waist is chained there like a ghost, (always been a ghost)
but the rope she wears is woven cold with hope (yearning to be cold)

those who can remember sing her name out like a prayer (i am not your prayer)
the music to it hollow of the truth in her despair (hollow with despair)
in wickerwind the crackleburn of candles cries for fate (i rewrite my fate)
and firesorrow girl may someday be chosen again (firechosen girl, again)

firesorrow girl
