Take Me

Waste

what doesn't bubble to the surface sinks to the bottom or stays suspended

Cliche Like That

Just last night I saw you in a haze
But not the you of muddy grays
The one I wanted to explore

Just last night I loved you like before
The butterflies went to my core
You said you dreamt of better days

Pathetically replaying 
This moment that never was

Tonight I hope that I'll be dreaming of you
And facing every storm the way we used to
Oh, don't you miss the way my eyes looked into yours?
Don't need a thing you can't give
Just wanna feel the thrill of warmth so intense I can't sit still
I wanna think that it gets better
That there's more

Just today I saw you in a daze
Seems like I never saw the ways
A person changes day to day
Just today I'm trying to shut up
The voices in my head won't stop
They want the you that slipped away

This song takes loose inspiration from one of my favorite authors Louisa May Alcott. The book that serves as a springboard for the various characters represented in my song is A Long Fatal Love Chase; this tragedy can be summarized as a retelling of Faust. 
     The main character (in this case, a young woman named Rosamond) sells her soul to the devil (a rich man named Philip Tempest) in exchange for short term success/happiness. The tragedy begins when Rosamond decides she longer wishes to involve herself with Tempest. Tempest refuses to leave her alone and follows her wherever she goes (basically a Victorian stalker), ultimately leading to her demise. 

For any literature nerds/purists, please remember - this is LOOSELY inspired. No historical accuracy is intended and I don’t claim to be entirely faithful to the characters’ personalities as depicted in the book. :P



Song is censored since I’m not sure about IG and YT’s policies hehe


Apologies for bad mixing/audio...some things are wonky but I'm just doing my best to get ideas in my head realized. :)


DM me on Insta if you have any questions about the story/song. :)


LYRICS
Tempest: 
Watch your step and duck your head
We’re going farther in
You said you want a wild ride
I’ll give you what you wish 
Just stop with your complaining now
You make me f****** sick
I hate to break it to you but 
You’re not exactly my first pick

Random girl (has not much to do with the song - meant to reference what it sounds like to listen to the radio when it drifts between stations):
I’ve never seen anything half as lovely!
Does it walk and talk too?

Rosamond (Chorus):
I just wanna have a good time
Toss the reason
Keep the rhyme

Random girl:
You have got enormous eyes!

Tempest:
Look at you, my butterfly
You’ll be a great disgrace
And now you’ve signed 
Your name in red
I’ll rub it in your face
There’s so much in this world to see
And do before you die
Look at you -
How picturesque!
I love it when you cry

Random girl:
Would someone please tell me where exactly I am?

Tempest: 
I want you to walk the line
Keep the rhythm
Dance in time

Fatal Love Chase

Just a lil draft of a song I wrote a few months ago (hence the reference to December). Sorry about all the reverb - didn’t get to record things the way I wanted so there are some glaring inconsistencies ;)

LYRICS

Shooting star,
You fell in December. 
Was it brilliant?
I can’t remember. 

Watching you come,
Watching you go. 
How does this end up?
Nobody knows. 
What if I told you they all want a show?
What if I said you lost your glow?

Softly, it’s whispering in my ear,
“What do you think?
Who are you, my dear?”

Can you stop this rapid descent?
They won’t listen to what you meant. 
When you fall they’ll all be watching
And you’ll whisper, “Someone catch me”.

Rise and fall
You rise and fall. 
Flicker and fade. 
You rise and fall. 
Starfall.

StarFall

wut a tragedyyyyyyy

LYRICS

Everyday I lose a memory
I'm tryna figure it out
When you said we were done
I couldn't see what it was about

Everyday I climb and climb
The height it makes me dizzy for air
Wish I could think of what it felt like 
When you actually cared

Starting to fade
Seems like yesterday

Do you remember?
Took all of our chances up
No more tears
Now, that's enough
Do you remember?

When I think I'm finally home
My eyes glaze over
Can't see a thing
My head sinks down
My feet fly up
How could you do this to me?

Could you make it any clearer?
I think I have the right to ask
My head is foggy and I really don't think
I'm gonna last
I'm not gonna last

when ur crush forgets ur name :'/

just another sad song

LYRICS

The air around you vibrated
The vibrance pulled me in and I
Couldn't keep myself from that magnetic grin.

Enigmatic dreams were ours
So obscure we fooled ourselves.
Why can't I come to grips with what is
Than the vapors of what was?

Push it off
Say nothing
I'm feeling lost
This can't be happening

Stop saying that you didn't do anything.
Your passiveness cost me my sanity.
Sometimes the worst things are the easiest to do.
The most graceful lies are the hardest to see through.

The air around you chills the blood
The languor paralyzes
I mark the line in red that you would never cross.
Placid, perfect, smooth, unscarred was the love that we called ours.
How could we ever gain a thing of worth
With nothing but a thought?

ease of mind

LYRICS

I can’t face the future
If I can’t get over the past
Bit by bit
I tell myself it doesn’t matter
So why am I sadder?
Time is not my friend
I kill every second
Don’t say you didn’t notice?
I just about had my fill
Wish I could live in my head, she said
Wish I could think my own thoughts
Were peace of mind a piece of cake 
Would it still be too little too late?
I need to be what I am not
