Ramone 04:44
This world was never meant for you And what a curse it is that you’re stuck here Never has one so pure been found Lovingly, shady trees hold you dear: Come here little one Let your spirit run Now the sun is gone I felt my spirit combining with your smell I don’t believe that there’s anyone else One so sincere it enchants the world as well The kindest presence, casting calm pastels Ramone, I slumber in your prowl How the nightmares fear your growl How the mighty hear your howl Claws mark the floor as you make your stance To protect me every chance You protect me every chance Your Love’s the only thing that makes me feel sure and strong Sometimes it’s all I have to keep me going on You’re the only thing that makes me feel so at home Sometimes it’s all I have I’ll adore your ears as soon as I come home Hold you as my own You’ll be in my heart throughout our time alone I love you more than anything Ramone This world was never meant for you And what a blessing that you’re here what a blessing for me that you’re here

You lingered near my home You said you were alone and so was I You lured me past the gate Far past where I was safe I said I’d try You took back the air to make me stay And I tried Oh how I tried But the ocean pulled me back As the meadows burned to ash I believed in you all along But you let me burn so long As the spread swallowed each song I longed for just one breath Or accidental death to make me cope You set your torches near The puddles I held dear to dry my hope You lied every day to my fucking face You did all you could to make me stay

Yours is the face that paints my memories And what a picture that you left in my heart Yours was the smile that helped me walk When the ground was tantamount to the dark, oh Yours are the days that gave me destiny And what a beautiful world that I left Yours are the nights I’d call my best Weighing down the warm emotion in my chest, oh Backyard of rivers and moons There is no one who could mean this the way I do I guarantee that it’s the truth When I’d think of the future I’d think of me and you You’re the only one I wanted to include You are the only one that I still dream about

Ocean blue Send my love straight to you Ocean please Send my love back to me Though it’s been sevenl years since your voyage I still believe that someday you’ll return Though your journey is long and dangerous I still believe that someday you’ll return

Long were the days And it wasn’t long until the day I drifted in the silence, only wish it was the silence of the grave That sunk a thousand ships of gold And slaughtered every promise told When I found you I found you so perfect said I’d never let you go I love you so much more than I ever could show And just hope you still know That I need you so much more than I ever could say And miss you every day Did my existence bring you joy at all or did the loss of me just bring you much more pain? You’re not the only ones who lost everything I long for the days When every second shared a friendly face The way you floated and the words we spoke when every person was away Now that language is old and lost And words I hear come at a cost Continuous reminders of the tongue and conversation I forgot And you can spend your days with things I couldn’t give And I hope you do Baby the world seemed so much prettier around you And my lungs ache regret for love I couldn’t prove But I hope you do Know every day there’s still someone thinking of you

Shelleaf 04:50
Moon strikes, your soft snowy skin lights the cool blue grass Everyone has gone but you Moonlight, your eyes a lake blue catch my frozen glance Reaching out to my rescue And your song flies Your entrance breaks the night Oh it’s all in flight Your hair still smells like Christmas, a scent I’ll never forget You deserve better than my best And I wish I could give you everything you dream about Before you sleep Embers be my witness, haunting the apparatus Wearing the night like a sundress A figure through the sadness that I always could foresee In minted green Enchanting me with every little thing that makes up your being Shelleaf, I believe in you and I always will An ocean that grows deeper still A world for all the kindnesses you’ve given me The love you share is everything And your song flies Your entrance breaks the night Oh it’s all in flight Today could be Halloween, you’re still the prettiest thing I’ve ever seen I hope you believe me You birth beautiful mammals in your speech that blanket me In minted green
