Once
I was a fool knowingly
bathing in the sunlight
and day after day
staring
into its rays
excited about the heat
it placed upon my skin
forever forgetting
the damage it did to my hands
the damage it did to my eyes
the damage it did to my brain
BUT
by the grace of the stars
I found my way up and heavenward
rediscovered
the beauty of reflection
the-power-of-pull
as well as
the rhythm of time
which heals and endures
Oh yes
once
I was a damned fool
yet now that I’ve regained my senses
I ONLY
GIVE MY
PRAISE TO
THE MOON

Viewtiful (Song + Lyrics)
[Verse 1]
I wanna tell you that you’re beautiful
In a brand-new way
I wanna tell you that you’re beautiful
No matter what you say
[Chorus]
You’re viewtiful
You’re viewtiful
You’re changing my ways
You’re viewtiful
You’re viewtiful
You brightened my days
Oh, you brightened my days
[Verse 2]
I’m gonna tell you that you’re special
Every single day
I’m gonna tell you that you’re perfect
No matter what you say
[Chorus]
You’re viewitful
You’re viewtiful
You changed my ways
You’re viewtiful
You’re viewtiful
You brightened my days
[Ab lib]
I Don’t Care (Demo)
[Verse 1]
I don’t care where you are
I don’t care where you started
As long as you work your way to me
As long as you wait eternity
Like I would wait for you
Like I would walk to you
I’d swim an ocean, an ocean
I’d cross a mountain, a mountain
I would dig a million miles
If it was you at the bottom
I’d swim an ocean, an ocean
I’d cross a mountain, a mountain
I’d fight a billion gods
If they held you captive
[Chorus]
I don’t care
I don’t care
What happens to me
As long as you are there
[Verse 2]
I don’t care where you are
I don’t care if you’re beyond the stars
As long as you make your way to me
As long as you are devoted for eternity
Like I would be for you
Like I am for you
I’d put my feet to the fire
I’d climb the tallest tower
I’d take a bullet to the heart
If it made you happy
I’d swim an ocean, an ocean
I’d cross a mountain, a mountain
I’d fight a billion gods
If they held you captive
[Chorus]
I don’t care
I don’t care
What happens to me
As long as you are there
[Ad lib]
Moonlight (Song + Lyrics)
[Verse 1]
When you turn around there is moonlight
I’ve never seen anything quite so bright
Not even stars can shine like your butt
How could human love make this result?
Your heritage must’ve come from stardust
There’s no other reason to feel this lust
I really think that we’re on the cusp
And if you come down, I’m gonna make love
To you, oohh, to you, to you, to you
[Chorus]
Moonlight, Moonlight
You shake around your moonlight
All right, All right
It’s not even yet night
Moonlight, Moonlight
You shake around your moonlight
All night, All night
Stars aren’t even that bright
Oohh, Oh, Oohooh
[Verse 2]
I’ve never seen anything quite so bright
Your behind oughta be the sunlight
And at night it can fill up my sky
At a club you would be the strobe lights
My head is spinning as you move around
And all that’s on my mind is going up and down
I never knew that my feet could leave ground
But now I feel like I’m never gonna touch down
Oohh, Oh, Oohooh
[Chorus]
Moonlight, Moonlight
Shake around your moonlight
All right, All right
It’s not even yet night
Moonlight, Moonlight
Shake around your moonlight
All night, All night
Stars aren’t even that bright
Misery (Song + Lyrics)
[Verse 1]
You made a mistake when you went away
You made the first when you said you’d stay
There’s not a day when I don’t sit and pray
Wishing you never ever walked my way
[Pre-Chorus]
You’re not the best thing
And you’re not my everything
But you are a piece of me
And you are
You are
You are
You are my misery
[Chorus]
You are my misery (8x)
[Verse 2]
I wanna tell you that you ain’t the shit
But then you’d probably call me a bitch
I thought you got married already
But you keep checking up on me
I’m doing better since I’m through with you
Tell me now if that’s the same for you
Don’t think it is because you don’t speak truths
I know that because I know you
[Bridge]
Your husband probably thinks you’re meek and shy
He probably thinks that you like younger guys
Your husband probably thinks you’re chill and fly
He doesn’t know you dream of other guys
[Pre-Chrous]
You’re not the best thing
And you’re not my everything
But you are a piece of me
And you are
You are
You are
You are my misery
[Chorus]
You are my misery (8x)
You are misery
You are my misery (6x)
[Ad Lib]
You are
You are
You are
You are just misery
The Whole World (Song + Lyrics)
🌓
[Verse 1]
I wanna write a song about you
I wanna write a song about your love
Sometimes I think the sun revolves around you
Sometimes I think you’re from above
[Chorus]
You’ll make
The whole, whole world
Make the whole, whole world
Make the whole world fall in love (2x)
[Verse 2]
I have to tell the world about us
I have to tell them about our love
This kind peace that surrounds us
Is the kind that could stop a war
[Chorus 2]
We’ll make
The whole, whole world
Make the whole, whole world
Make the whole world fall in love (2x)
[Bridge]
And if it’s us, then its us
And if it’s you, then it’s me
And if it’s me, then it’s you
And every heart can see
[Chorus 3]
You’ll make
The whole, whole world
Make the whole, whole world
Make the whole world fall like me (2x)
Now
You’ll make
The whole, whole world
Make the whole, whole world
Make the whole world fall in love (2x)
(Yeah) You’ll make
The whole, whole world
Make the whole, whole world
Make the whole world fall like me
Penmanship
I'm
losing
control
of
my
strokes
Wishing to touch you with every word
This inflated script
Once handled with care
Now reduced to scratch
Jaggery (Song + Lyrics)
[Verse 1]
I want your jaggery
I want your sweet honey
I want your apple pie
I want your milky thighs
Now I’m deep rolling in your soul
I’m never gonna hit the road
[Verse 2]
You want me rocky hard
You want me all night long
You want me here and there
And everywhere
You melt my glacier ’til its gone
You never stay away too long
[Verse 3]
I’m not usually this blunt
But I’m falling for your love
I swear to romance it’s our time
One night with me and that’s all
You’ll need to know
[Chorus]
That I’m your jaggery
I’m your sweet honey
I’m your rocky hard
I’m your all night long
I’m your jaggery
I’m your sweet honey
I’m your rocky hard
I’m your all night long
I wanna drink you ’til you’re gone
I wanna do you ’til you’re done
I wanna be your only one
I wanna be your only one
Husband & Wife (ft. lyrics by Grace)
*This song is part of a collaboration with Grace (who showed me these incredible lyrics). It was really fun working on this project with her, which was a month in the making; and I’m lucky to call her a friend.
[Verse 1]
Don’t really want to think about you
As much as I already do
Don’t really want to like you
Told myself all the reasons not to
[Pre-Chorus]
My mom already knew the day we first met
My best friend already placed a bet
[Chorus]
But if I can’t open up to you
I won’t need someone new
And if you can’t be on my team
My love will be your only dream
I could settle for me all my life
Could be my own husband and wife
I could settle for me all my life
Could be my own husband and wife
[Verse 2]
When I texted you, I expected nothing
Little did I know, I’d feel everything
When I saw you, I denied it all
Told myself I could never fall, told myself I could never fall
[Pre-Chorus]
I felt like lightning the first day we met
And somewhere in my heart I was excited to bet
[Chorus]
But if I can’t open up to you
I won’t need someone new
And if you can’t be on my team
My love will be your only dream
I could settle for me all my life
Could be my own husband and wife
So, if I can’t open up to you
I’ll be my own someone new
And if you can’t be on my team
I’m meant to be my own dream
I could settle for me all my life
Could be my own husband and wife
I could settle for me all my life
Could be my own husband and wife
Husband and wife
Inaccurate Authorship
We perfected closeness
Dissolved the distance between souls
Thusly: Our love is likely to be plagiarized
