Come Away With Me

So I took both your hands into my own
And we walked together into the night
With a bright full moon as our guiding light,
We found a beach where we could be alone
While the rest of the world was sleeping
We danced together on the yellow sand
In the pure moonlight I took your soft hand.
And created a memory worth keeping
And then, barefoot we went to the shoreline
Once there, we both laughed and splashed each other
And then we stargazed with one another
Counting how many shooting stars we found

Tender was that moment beyond compare
No one knows of it so it’s ours to share

Bury Me

Crippled and dumped in front of the TV
With my vast collection of anime
But I have nobody waiting for me
So this life’s all the same: day by day
My abysmal social skills keep me in
And there’s no dragons or demons to fight
And there’s no princess’ hearts for me to win
Therefore, my beds left empty on a cold night
Care and affection, these anime girls serve
They fall for the frail and make them happy
So anime guys get what they deserve
And I am left chasing a fantasy.

So take me to my cell and throw me in it
And leave me to drown in my own vomit

2AM

There’s a glorious full moon out tonight
And there should be two lovers there dancing
All looks so beautiful bathed in the moonlight
But there’s no time for any romancing
The candles on the table are melting
And there’s a romance movie on TV
But the temperature of my bed’s freezing
Why must I waste this opportunity?
Right now, both my parents are out of town
Leaving the house to my machinations
But my love’s not gonna come on down
Cos’ she lives in my imagination.

The cold night wraps it’s arms around this soul
And there is nothing here to break my fall
