A song commissioned by flat-san. She wanted a song written about her story, "The Midnight Children." And here it is!

Please try headphones for the best sound. :)

It was a January day
unlucky numbers clouded visions full of gray
but I opened up my eyes for the first the first time, in a way
and I screamed, and I screamed, and screamed.

It was a bright August-ian face
that smiled at me and brought me out of my disgrace
and laughed a little bit and said that she’d join in the chase
so we dreamed, and we dreamed, and dreamed.

He had a warm September death
just slipped away upon the wisp of final breath
and I found him in a haze of those we cannot forget
who left but never moved on.

And in July I tripped and fell
I heard a crack and felt a pain and gave a yell
and now I stumble sideways, and I do it pretty well
and I may be broken, but at least the pain is gone.

I’m about as special as a glass of water
but I can see the faces of the after-slaughter
and I’m covered in the scars of the things that no one sees
and I could have the whole world down on its knees
and the end.

It was a January sky
looming overhead when I first wished I could die
but I opened up my eyes and I let them cry
and I cried and I cried and I cried.

And on a fateful April day
an April girl and I stood on a world that went astray
and I saw my own fate and threw my life away
and I died, how I died, how I died.

I’m about as special as a glass of water
but I can see the faces of the after-slaughter
and I’ll never grow up but I’ve already grown old
and mine is the story that will never be told
the story of the boy and his midnight friends
and the end.

January Day

Song commissioned by Crayvay, inspired by their original fairytale "The Lady with the Star in her Eye." It was a beautiful story and I loved turning it into a song.

If you're interested in commissioning a song from me, go here: http://therosielord.tumblr.com/commissions

Lady with black hair and strong shoulder bone
beloved by the place that you call home
square your shoulders strong, defend the weak
listen to your heart before you speak
pluck a white stone from the dirt-stamped mud
this is more than the stars, it was written in blood
so look down on the girl that you swept up in your arms…

Maiden with green eyes, not of this place
freckles like brown sugar ‘cross your face
cover starlight up with flesh of white
leave behind your kingdom of the night
drop a white stone in the dirt at her feet
wait for your star-crossed eyes to meet
and look up at the girl who will keep you safe from harm

and hold her tight, and sleep by her side night after night
for this strange love – one girl from below, the other, above –
is the reason why you no longer weep and you no longer cry
and your tears feel so long ago.

Maiden with a secret home in the sky
leave a note and fly, don’t wish, don’t cry
Lady with a broken heart in her chest
mourn the loss of one that you love best
Sleep away days and live in the night air
point your eyes at the sky ‘cause she’s up there somewhere
she’s a light in the dark, but a light you’ll never find.

Lady with a single star in her eye, 
climb a mountain top to reach the sky
Maiden with her eyes trained on the ground
wait a while and surely you’ll be found
your tongue is so silver, the words so sweet
when you see your strong Lady you met on the street
who you guided up with the bit you left behind

So she held her tight: the strong and the weak, the dark and the light
and this strange love lived on underneath the world up above
and the reason why we now talk of love and of stars in our eyes
is a story from the long-ago.

I’m running through this house of mirrors
All I can see is my reflection
We all live in this house of mirrors
The only way out is in.

Is this my reality? Are these pixels on my TV?
Are these moments genuine? Is my life even mine?
I was born within these halls, I am plastered on these thin walls
every turn I see another version of myself.
These walls never shatter, the glass is ever bending 
They control the latter, the shift is never ending
I can tell no longer which one of me is real
I don’t think it matters anyway.

I’m running through this house of mirrors
All I can see is my reflection
We all live in this house of mirrors
The only way out is in.

What is our reality? Darkness and brutality?
Lethality, morality, mortality, normality?
There’s nothing that was meant to be, no manifest destiny
there is only is and how it seems to be.
There’s nothing here that matters and nothing here that doesn’t
there’s nothing here that ever was and nothing here that wasn’t
and pathways twisting, turning, fill you up with quiet yearning
for somewhere where you know you’ve found your way.

Stop asking for reality, it’s no better than a screen.
I can bend these walls and make them melt the way I want.
I was blind but now I see: you can’t run and you can’t leave
and objects in these mirrors may be closer than they seem
glass can never shatter, it only can be twisted
no matter how hard we punch – angry and tight-fisted
it’s not about escaping, or looking for the door
I don’t want to get out anymore.

I’m running through this house of mirrors
All I can see is my reflection
We all live in this house of mirrors
The only way out is in.


Out Is In

This is my home, it’s the only I know 
And I carry it with me wherever I go. 
From the sun up above to the sands down below 
I know every step, every road. 

I’ll give you a tour of our life together 
Here’s where you sit and you wait for the weather 
Here’s where I saw you the very first time 
Here’s where you said you’d be mine. 

And here’s where you kissed me right under the lights 
And here’s where you left me and said your goodnights 
Here’s where we walked and here’s where we strolled 
And here’s where you left me alone. 

This is my home and I want you to share it 
This is my world and I want you to be there 
I want you to be there, you’ll be with me there 
And we’ll be two halves of a home 

This is my home, a place of my own 
My spot in at my desk with my microphone 
I see and I hear, I speak and I know 
Together we seek, and we grow. 

This is the place where you looked in my eyes 
We thought it was over, we said our goodbyes 
But the world is mysterious, and you didn’t die 
And we kept on living our lives. 

So here’s where the stars shine brilliantly 
And here’s where we parted indefinitely 
Here’s where I waited, and waited and waited 
And here’s where you came back to me. 

This is my home and I want you to share it 
This is my world and I want you to be there 
I want you to be there, you’ll be with me there 
And we’ll be two halves of a home 

This is my home, it’s the only I know 
And I carry it with me wherever I go. 
From the sun up above to the sands down below 
I know every step, every road. 

This is my home, and I want you to know 
That you’re more than a guest and I’m more than a host. 
And you’ll never be lost, cause my home is a part 
Of whatever you keep in your heart. 

This is the spot where we fought for our freedom 
This is the place where we followed our hearts 
This is the road that we set on together 
Now we’ll never travel apart. 

This is my home and I want you to share it 
This is my world and I want you to be there 
I want you to be there, you’ll be with me there 
And we’ll be two halves of a home

but damn does this song need like a rock band in the background or something

other half [a gamzee<>karkat fansong]

Funny that a girl of immorality
Would end up hangin’ with a justice-freak
Even funnier, they make a great team

Funny that after everything that she’s done wrong
Being raised as a remorseless killer by her mom
Her downfall is her partner, best friend of so long

8r8k,
8r8k,
8r8k,
I’m gonna, I’m gonna

8r8k,
8r8k, 
8r8k,
I’m gonna, I’m gonna

Funny that all her talk of the judicial stand,
Was all behind justice and deceit hand-in-hand
Oh, her jury, it sure was grand

How about she stand trial for what she’s done
Blue taunted her with the fact that she would prob’ly run
From the chance to save the last few lives

8r8k,
8r8k,
8r8k,
I’m gonna, I’m gonna

8r8k, 
8r8k,
8r8k,
I’m gonna, I’m gonna

Scourge Sister, you’re lying,
Her death’s not why you’re crying.
Scourge Sister, 
Do you really regret what you’ve done?

Scourge Sister, it’s justice,
You’ve got just what you wanted.
Scourge Sister, thems the breaks,
You’re gonna, you’re gonna, you’re gonna, you’re gonna

8r8k,
8r8k,
8r8k,
I’m gonna, I’m gonna

8r8k, 
8r8k,
8r8k,
I’m gonna, I’m gonna

8r8k, 
8r8k,
8r8k,
I’m gonna, I’m gonna 8r8k.
