Trust [Reprise] - Gradient Gallantry OST 17

Lyrics:
[Verse 1]
There’s no way I would've survived
I was helpless and buried alive

Then you reached out your hand
And pulled me back on land
You told me my limits so I'd understand

But I can't keep up on my own
I’ve struggled to learn and to grow

I failed by myself
And again with your help
I'm starting to think there's no making me well

[Pre-Chorus]
I'm sick of being saved
And getting in the way
It's hard to keep trying when I’m so afraid

I thought I'd be fine
Since you're here by my side
But I feel like a burden weighing down your life

[Chorus]
With your reassurance
And my strong endurance
I'm finding out what I am capable of

Despite my limits
You remain committed
I can't figure out how I earned your love

[Verse 2/Outro]
I'll give you a reason for pride
I'll work with my limits in stride

When I'm pulled by the tide
I will swim and I'll fight
From the day to the night until I get it right

I'll stop fearing I won't be enough;
There is no condition for your love

I still deserve it
And I'm not a burden
Since I've come to learn that nobody is perfect

Perfection [Gadalik's Theme] - Vocals - Gradient Gallantry OST 3

Lyrics:
[Verse 1]
So long I've journeyed far and wide
Meeting a bunch of different types
Sure most of them weren't friendly
But I guess I'll pay that price

I'm often chased away
if I stop to rest anyplace
But it doesn't bother me
since I never planned to stay

[Pre-Chorus]
I enjoy the danger
of whatever lies in wait
I will allow the wind to guide me
and travel for days

Through fiery volcanoes
and the islands overseas

Looking
for what?

[Chorus]
Well I cannot quite remember
but I don't really care
And I don't need an invitation
to go anywhere

And if I happen to find something
that is worth stopping for,
would I bother to keep searching anymore?

[Verse 2]
That is when I saw someone strange
and thought that I should go and play
For the first time I recall
I had begun to feel safe

I can't understand why
there is just something about him
that makes me nostalgic yet
the reminder makes me grim

[Pre-Chorus]
I told him where I've been
and about the ones I met
I told him how they would attack me
when I went nearby

I said I'd keep trying
and there is no end in sight

Then he
asked why

[Chorus]
Well I cannot quite remember
but my past’s coming through
And I realized that he reminds me
of someone I knew

And the more the memories came back,
the more that I felt blue,
because the one he reminds me of is you

[Bridge]
I remember you;
we were both alone,
but we still had each other

When things would get rough
I gave protection
In return you gave comfort

Nothing prepared me
for when you would leave,
‘cause you were like my brother

I respected you,
so I let you go
when you found another

[Chorus/Outro]
I've been looking for someone to
brighten the light you dimmed
But nobody else would let me close
until I met him

And now that he is here beside me
I think that I've figured out
the one I have been searching for has been found

Lyrics:
[Verse 1]
Who says that Winter only brings death
or that sunshine is better than rain
When snow provides time for some to rest
and Summer's dry heat kills in its blaze

[Pre-chorus]
Who says a rabbit
is worth less than dragons,
when without prey, predators cannot survive

Those injured gravely
are too beyond saving
And if they are prey, they are fated to die

[Chorus]
I can only watch as nature takes its course
The power of one can't compare to its force
I've seen it all and know nothing will change
the way things turn out; we can't avoid fate

[Verse 2]
A predator came; I was its prey
I tried to flee but there was no escape
That's when he arrived, and my life was saved
He defended me and everything changed

[Pre-chorus]
As prey, it's fated
that I should not make it
Why now intervene if I'll die in the end?

He said we're more than
what we've been foretold, and
we all could improve things by lending a hand

[Chorus]
So I will not stand by while nature takes its course
All our strength combined is a match for its force
I help where I can in hopes I can save
the lives of ones fate would otherwise take.

Fate [Guinevere's Theme] - Vocals - Gradient Gallantry OST 12

Lyrics:
[Verse 1]
Nobody sees the smaller ones killed
Would anyone help if they did?
If weaker ones die when intervening,
it's no wonder why they ran and hid

But what of the ones who are stronger than them?
Why should we be excused for it?
Do we blame it all on the natural order,
or think they should be used to it?

[Chorus]
For so many times
we've turned blind eyes
To those who are in need

And none of us stop
to ever think
“The next one could be me”

But it's a lesson
that all should know;
I learned it the hard way:

That natural order's unjust,
and nobody is safe

[Bridge]
I led a peaceful life until they landed from the sky
Demanding we surrender if we wanted to survive
I thought that we could win since I had you there by my side
But even with your strength you said it’s better not to fight

And even worse, you blamed us when they took my father’s life
You said it was his fault since he couldn’t swallow his pride
You told us to cooperate, not caring if it’s right
You truly think it’s nature that they raid while we stand by?

[Verse 2]
How many are killed that nobody sees,
or who saw, but wouldn’t step in?
My father died standing for what was right;
I was too small and weak to defend

This one tragedy was my awakening:
I have also been blind to it
I’m not the strongest, but I am not as weak
I can’t let this happen again

[Chorus]
I’ve lived for this long
But never saw
The ones who are not safe

And none of us stopped
or ever thought
“My help can make a change”

But we can step up
in our own ways,
whether it's big or small

Let's break this natural order;
It can't defeat us all

Breaking Order [Gale's Theme] - Vocals - Gradient Gallantry OST 15

Lyrics:
[Pre-Chorus]
They stood beside us through all that has happened
And they never asked to get anything for it
Someone who's honest is hard to imagine
Yet here we all are, celebrating our wins

[Chorus]
They give me comfort I've never received
When things went wrong, they had refused to leave
They’ll stay to help us when we're most in need
And so I have learned I can trust those around me
Trust those around me

Trust [Reprise] - Vocals - Gradient Gallantry OST 18

Lyrics:
[Verse 1]
No one’s born afraid
until our minds become trained
to predict what is prone, or
surviving attacks, scathed

Fear’s the greatest influence
to which we can succumb
Knowing we’re safe cannot stop us
from becoming numb

[Chorus]
My mind endures while
my body's weak
My knowledge doesn’t
slow my heart from threats perceived

Control emotions
Don't let them win
I refuse to harm
anyone who's innocent

[Verse 2]
Fighting through self-hate
When I'm never feeling safe
Running on exhaust,
for I haven't slept in days

Paranoia’s all I have
in terms of company
enemies hiding in wait
to end this suffering

[Chorus]
I finally broke through
fear’s barrier
I don't know how it's possible;
I've tried for years

I found the answer:
It's a reveal
This little one
has made my only wish turn real

She's concealing fears
It's plain to see
She needs someone to
keep her from becoming me

So I'll protect her;
with her influence,
I’ll refuse to let
anyone hurt her again

Lyrics:
[Verse 1]
They told me to standby instead of getting in their way
As much as it had hurt, I would still listen and obey
They said it's up to them to keep me protected and safe
Little did I know that I would prove that false today

When everything went wrong and I'm the only one who saw
I begged for them to help but they just laughed and moved along
Then I got washed away miles from all I've ever known
I was so lost and scared since I was completely alone

[Pre-Chorus]
But that's when I realized that nothing is different
I've always been alone despite my dependence
And now it's up to me to get where I need to
And I will be fine since I never needed you

[Chorus]
So prove to me now just why I should believe
When you say you care and that you'd never leave
When I least expect it, when I'm most in need
Because I have learned I can only trust in me

[Verse 2]
And then I came across him all alone and defenseless
The way that I once was, but I'll make sure his life's different
I will give him comfort that I have never received
My eyes and heart are open so he'll never be deceived

We stand by each other; he will never be in my way
I'll sacrifice my home to make sure his will be okay
And now it's up to me to keep him protected and safe
Little did he know that he might need my help today

[Pre-Chorus]
When someone came here, saying she'll be his friend
Okay, that's fine, but please proceed with caution
Now I feel there's something wrong that he cannot see
I'm scared she'll betray him once she gets what she needs

[Chorus]
So prove to me now just why I should believe
When you say you care, and that you'd never leave
When he least expects it, when he’s most in need
Because I have learned he can only trust in me
Only trust in me

Hiya!  I'm a hobbyist artist, writer, and musician; the author of Gradient Gallantry, a novel that you can read for free on RoyalRoad (see the link on my profile).   
I'm more of a lyricist and composer than a singer, but nobody besides me will sing my songs unless they get paid with money I don't have, so yeah, please bear with me, haha.
That said, feel free to make covers of the vocal versions of my songs using their instrumentals, as long as due credit is given!
All of my tracks were made from scratch with Beepbox.co and recorded with MixPad Free on my phone.  (You can see what I mean about affording things, haha).
