Kansas's Song Attempts

[Kansas Stormcursed he/him]

Haven't managed to finish writing anything lately, BUT I had an idea. I wanna write a few TLT-inspired songs because I already have a few moments in mind, plus some backstory lore for Cep. If anybody who has any characters that have interacted with Cep wants input on anything, let me know. Otherwise I'm just gonna write stuff

[Vielence She/Her]

I just read most of this, and it’s so good! Nice job, Kansas.

Not yet 'cause I can't sing. Well, at least. Singing lessons are on my list of things to do when I get to college.

Two roads, yellow wood,

I think I been here before

One path overgrown

Other one's worn down by scores

Of travels, tracing down

That same path that I know well

The end don't look good

But I just can't help myself

 

They say the road to hell is paved with good intentions

But I'm just trying my damn best to get away from the good

My brain it gets so hateful without any reason

Turns its blazing eye inside I'd get away if I could

Segment (to be finished later today but I wanna write it down here so I don't forget it)

Spoiler

Your—smile it reaches your eyes
And it spreads as it lights
Up your whole face

Your—smile it comes from your soul
And its glow makes me whole
As it clears the pain

Your—smile it says what it means
It doesn't hide or seem to need
A bit of help

My—smile it reaches my eyes
But my eyes they tell lies
About myself

My—smile it comes from my soul
The part I let the world know
A fragment of me

My—smile it says what it means
It means a bunch of lies about me
It's shocking to see

How we can be so different
Yet my mind can still hold hope
That someday somehow somewhere
Our minds will find some rope
That ties us both together
Through the dark and to the light
But we're so very different
And you'll be better than I ever might

You—are open about your
Problems, as if you've got
Nothing to hide

You—know that you've got trauma

I don't particularly like the ending of the chorus or cadence of the verse after the chorus, so I need to fix those

You know you’ve been scarred
And you’re fine showing it

Your—eyes they’re dark [something something—as the sea]

Your—eyes they stare into mine
And I fear that you’ll find
The depths of my soul

My—eyes they’re shuttered and locked
And they shadow my thoughts
Like a deep, deep hole

My—eyes they're dark as the soil
But the warmth that they hold
Is just a mask.

My—eyes they don't dare meet yours

I have no idea why it's bolded and I can't get it to unbold, so...sorry it's stuck with that

My blood is beating faster

Excitement rising fast

I know just what’s coming

And I know that it won’t last

But I’ll enjoy it while I can

‘Cause my feelings go away

Everything numbs down

Oh how I wish that this would stay

 

I’ve done it again

Let in the darkness that I hate

Because I know

That if only I just wait

It’ll free my from the pain that’s chasing me

Oh, my addiction to my pain will ruin me

 

I’m dark and sad and angry and depressed

But I won’t stop because I like the way

It makes me lose everything I’ve ever feared

So I just sink and hope that this will stay

 

I hate myself when all is said and done

But I know that I just can’t stay apart

The darkness chills the light I see inside

And it seeps in and wraps around my heart

 

I know that this is not who I should be

But I just can’t escape my addiction

It chases me down everywhere I go

And I don’t like the person I’ve become

 

I’ll do it again

Let in the darkness that I hate

Because I know

That if only I just wait

It’ll free my from the pain that’s chasing me

Oh, my addiction to my pain will ruin me
