there once was a man- A stranger to the land!

Fish in a Birdcage

Rule #4 - Fish in a Birdcage

A fox’s scream can eerily sound like a woman’s scream… why are there some who enjoy hunting them, then?
“Foxcry” explores the scary but real scenario that many feminine presenting folks face: others taking advantage of them, and finding pleasure in their pain. This song acts as a visceral callout to the “hunters” that revel in feminine suffering in a masturbatory way.

LYRICS:
He was a hunter boy-boy
Born with hunter arm-arms
Wringing geese necks
On his Papa’s farm-farm
He was a Mama’s boy-boy
He meant the woman no harm
Slinging pelts over his shoulder
But then he couldn’t shoot straight-straight
Something went wrong
He’d kill critters left and right but never pick ‘em up-up 
Hunter boy-boy to a hungry man-man 
Leaving Momma’s love leftover

You just love to see a woman suffer
When she cries you cup her face and say it’s to comfort
Come
As you slip your hands under your beltline
And use her tears to lubricate a good time
I can feel those eyes sinking into me
You hate it when I sing but you love it when I scream
I know why you shoot with your right hand free
Shoo, hunter boy, go skip your stones in a tree

And we foxes have a common phrase
If he can aim, he will shoot so scurry far away
But what about hunter boys, 
boys who play our game
Makin’ tiny cuts at fur until we’re not the same?

Well
We fair foxes learned to grit our teeth
If it’s screaming but not bleeding, then go back to sleep
In these woods, food is scarce, take what you keep
Be wary but don’t heed a hand that’s willing to feed 

You just love to see a woman suffer
When she cries you cup her face and say it’s to comfort
Come
As you slip your hands under your beltline
And use her tears to lubricate a good time
I can feel those eyes sinking into me
You hate it when I sing but you love it when I scream
I know why you shoot with your right hand free
Shoo, hunter boy, go skip your stones in a tree

There once was a hunter boy-boy
Taking part in hunter thing-things
Getting off to killing foxes ‘cause he liked their femme screams
And he’d say: it wasn’t my fault, fault, fault, was an archer’s paradox
Please still love me momma, momma, please still love me, momma
I didn’t mean to kill that fox

Sleeping Giants

Lyrics:

Let’s make angels in the golden ground
Where leaves fall soft without a sound
Let the breeze take every heavy thought
And leave us only what we’ve forgot

Whispers of autumn, calling our name
Like children laughing in a harvest flame
Let's run through the fields, not caring the cost
For joy returns when we think it's lost

Let’s make angels,
Let’s make angels,
in the golden ground

Forget the clocks, forget the pain
Just breathe the dusk, just dance in rain

I saw a child inside your smile
A glow I hadn’t seen in quite a while
No need for plans, no need to try
We only need the open sky

Let’s lie in leaves and just pretend
The world is new and we don’t need to mend
For in this breeze and earthy bed
We’re children still, just not misled

Let’s make angels,
(Let’s make angels)
in the golden ground

In the golden ground

I quite like Yaelokre, and somewhat re-upload some songs of theirs here. Though, songs like Tempest won’t be re-uploaded, as they wish not to use them! Please inform me if you wish anything to be taken down, advise me if there’s anything I’m missing or doing wrong, and any suggestions!
