Maybe it's too cliche but it makes me feel sad.



"Katie," I call out to her
"Where you goin' so fast?
Good times are gonna slow you down"
Maybe it aint for me to say
but I wonder how long she's gonna last
runnin' round on the dirty side of town

Walkin' in stilettos
on the edge of a knife

One false step and she's
lost to the night
One false step and she's
lost to the night

Hidden in the shadows
All the ones who lost the light

One more face
lost to the night
Lost without a trace
to the night

Some never see the danger signs
Some are just runnin' away - hey hey
No one ever thinks they'll be the next
but in the shadows, the night stalks its prey - yeah

"Hey Katie," I call out to her
"I haven't seen you in so long
Hard times it seems have taken their toll
Baby, won't you take my hand?"
But she can't tell right from wrong anymore
Look into her eyes, look into an empty soul - oh whoa

Walkin' in stilettos
on the edge of a knife

One false step and she's
lost to the night
One more child
lost to the night

Hidden in the shadows - yeah
All the ones who lost the light

It's too late
She's lost the fight
One more child
lost to the night
When you can't tell wrong from right
Lost to the night

Reminds me of them 80s rock songs haha, nice

[Lopyt]

May I suggest not using the standard drumkit, it sounds really bad

I did a quick edit to change "Drum Kit" to "Electric Drum Kit"

this can be a sad song if you think about it

Entry 1: ##1315406

I wrote this while having a nervous breakdown, here are the lyrics:

my life is fine
i am content
more than i've ever been
and i'm thankful
for all that i have
so why do i feel so *****ty?
why do i feel so tired?
i just want to sleep until tomorrow

i should be crying tears of joy
instead, half of me is screaming and the other half is numb
and i miss you
and i
and i
don't know how I'll live
without you here
my woe
is over
whelming, i can't live on my
own, i can't love myself as much as
you do, no, i know that it's
stupid, i live in constant fear for
you and i don't want you to
leave, everything will pass me by
while i sit here paranoid

oh
i love everything
and it's destroying me
no, how will i live
when it all disappoints me

the world is crashing and burning
one day we will all fall
and i will have to watch it
die

you are my everything
please don't leave me, i am weak
i just want to go to sleep


Entry #2: ##875312

Lyrics:

Why don't you love me?
Why is it so hard?
Why can't you love me?
You left me scarred
I gave you my heart
You gave it back broken
And you don't even regret
your decision

Why don't you want me?
You pushed me away
You didn't even want me
to stay for two days
You gave him your soul
And left me with nothing
And now I have nothing
You took it away
you took it away

I just need a mother
who cares about me
Who gives up her ugly
abusive eye candy
I gave him respect
I gave you my blessing
But now you just hate me

He's better than me, right?
I'm no better than a fool
for trusting you
Who trusts their mother, right?
Of all the rules in life
Some say trust family
Some say trust nobody
What do I choose?
Who do I choose?
You betrayed me
Gave me away
Left me to the wolves
it's child's play
Taking candy from a baby
Taking bliss from a girl
Feeding on me like a vulture

What do you want from me?
What do you want from me?
Give you my money?
When all you do
is leave me bloody
and heartbroken
because you care more about him
than me

Okay. I think I'm satisfied with this one. It's not even going to be close to being a winner, but at least it achieved the effect I was hoping for.

STORY TIME:

aight in this piece, Oli is singing. He's trying to apologize to his friend (currently turning into a zappy-floof-birb), who he really hurt. He's explaining how he's "gone insane; pushed everyone away" and he realizes that his coping method (creating androids) is not healthy and is slowly killing him. Oli realizes that you can't replace people with machines, and that you need to keep your friends close to you to truly feel happy.

#HugsForOliver :'D

and y'know what screw it-

#HugsForCharles ('cause y'know like- he's kind of metamorphosing into a birb rn...)

also please don't ship them, they're friends, that's all :D

might add onto the sequence [shrug]
