Highkey was inspired n wrote some lyrics, hope you don't mind??? can't do melodies for shit but uhh i think this is nice for being written in 10 minutes lol

the scripture goes like this: be sure to fear God;

He is good. christianity and catholicism: creature,

holy, human. oh, joyous line. oh, joyous life.

arms up for celestial beings, divinity abound,

heart wide and smile big and the priest prays,

his hands in yours, and the church cross stands

before the sunrise, unbowed in the face of adversity

God's going to murder america and let me tell you why:

please, take a seat, you're going to need it, little bad guy.

God's going to murder america and let me tell you why:

sky's so high in montana, mountain cliff and clouds cry

God's going to murder america and let me tell you why:

the scripture goes like this: be sure to fear God;

He is good. christianity and catholicism: creature,

holy, human. be sure to conform, else they won't

accept you into the kingdom of heaven. oh, joyous.

joyous line, joyous life. arms up for celestial beings,

divinity abound in the farms i raised myself on,

sun setting on fields of my own making; conformity.

God's going to murder america and let me tell you why:

please, take a seat, you're going to need it, little bad guy.

God's going to murder america and let me tell you why:

sky's so high in montana, mountain cliff and clouds cry

God's going to murder america and let me tell you why:

the scripture goes like this: be sure to fear God;

He is good, and He'll kill you if you don't pray

in the morning, believe so much He sucks out your

soul. conformity in the face of adversity so you can't

fight back-- don't worry, it'll be alright, this is your

promise not to burn in damnation. don't make Him

punish you, don't be gay, don't question, don't worry

be sure to fear God because He put His roots in our

family's tractor and now if we don't listen and pray,

hearts wide and smiling, He'll send the priest to stick

a knife in our sister josie who went and got an abortion,

and be sure to fear God because He'll kill cousin georgie

who's not allowed to use the pronouns she (he) wants

and be sure to fear God because God is good; suicide's

not allowed in this land of divinity: conformity in the face of adversity. God is good, God is good, God is good.

God's going to murder america and let me tell you why:

please, take a seat, you're going to need it, little bad guy.

God's going to murder america and let me tell you why:

sky's so high in montana, mountain cliff and clouds cry

God's going to murder america and let me tell you why

Me, trying to explain my obsession with southern gothic and weird alt country: look I don’t know why, but if a song is acoustic, in a minor key, and about murder, god, or america, i just go absolutely batshit

If Miguel and Sam sang Love is an Open Door from Frozen

And now I've done this. Goddamn overwhelming creative spirit. Anyway, I didn't really change a lot because you don't really have to when parodying this song. It's an all-around happy love song that can apply to a lot of fictional couples. As always, if you love it, tell me, if you hate it, still tell me.

Love is an Open Door

[Verse 1: Miguel]

All my life has been a series of feeling misplaced

And then suddenly I bump into you

[Verse 1: Sam]

*sigh* I feel you

Cause recently I’ve been trying to find my own place

Don’t know if it’s the moment talking or the lights shining blue

[Pre-Chorus: Miguel and Sam, Both]

But with you (But with you)

I found my place (I see your face)

You’re not the one that I thought I’d fall for

[Chorus]

But Love is an Open Door

Love is an open door (Door)

With you, with you

With you, with you

Love is an open door

[Verse 2: Sam]

I mean it’s crazy

[Verse 2: Miguel]

What?

[Verse 2: Sam]

We finish each others-

[Verse 2: Miguel]

Sentences!

[Verse 2: Sam]

*chuckles* That’s what I was gonna say

I’m never met someone who

[Verse 2: Sam and Miguel, Both]

Thinks so much like me

Jinx!

Jinx again!

Our mental synchronization

Can have but one explanation

You and I were just meant to be!

[Pre-Chorus 2: Miguel and Sam, Both]

Say goodbye (say goodbye) the misplacement has passed

I’ve got to say I feel this to the core

[Chorus 2: Miguel and Sam, Both]

Love is an open door

Love is an open door (Door)

Life can be so much more

With you, with you

With you, with you

Love is an open door (Door)

Let It Go | If Hawk sang “Let it Go” from Frozen

[Verse 1]

The sun shines bright on the skyline tonight

Not a shimmer to be seen

The peace that I once knew of

Now a distant memory

These demons haunt me through the day and through the night

Thing is only few truly know my strife

[Pre-Chorus]

Eli, calm down, don’t go lash out

You’ll survive if you keep your head down

Stay silent, just go with the flow

Well I say no!

[Chorus]

Let it Go!

Let it Go!

Won’t hold it back anymore!

Let it Go!

Let it Go!

I’m breaking down these doors!

I’ll take the mold!

And control my fate!

Let the winds rage on!

This bird’s grown wings and it’s out it’s cage

[Verse 2]

It’s funny how this passion

Grows every time I fall

The ones that once tortured me

Can’t handle me at all!

[Pre-Chorus]

I won’t keep down this burning flame

These weakling all will feel my pain

I’ll train and train until I bleed

They’ll see!

[Chorus]

Let it Go!

Let it Go!

My suffering’s come to an end

Let it Go!

Let it Go!

I’ll never fall again!

Here I stand!

And Here I’ll Stay!

Let the winds rage on…

[Bridge]

My passion burns and blazes all throughout this town

I’ll take over this game and nothing’s gonna keep me down

My fists ache waiting to go and kick some ass

I won’t be weak again, the past is in the past!

[Chous]

Let it Go!

Let it Go!

My wrath lights up the night!

Let it Go!

Let it Go!

You’ll never see me cry!

I’ve changed my mind!

This is my fate!

Let the winds rage on!

This bird’s grown wings and it’s out its cage

Couple days later I think we're basically done. I'd like to add an instrumental repeat of the verse at the end to round it out but otherwise why not keep it short and sweet.

Media Res

Start in the middle I don't need to know where you're from Not every riddle is given to be answered Here we are now And I'm trying to say what I, what I mean say what I mean Shoulder to the plow, just tell me what it is you heard

You know youth is but the seed of age Ten years the field lay fallow Then erupted in a golden blaze But the slash and burn will hallow

So draw back from the end You don't need to know where I'll go Dot to dot descending ever ever after Pan, play your pipes And let the wild abandon abandon Your civilized vice of believing life is painted by numbers

Because life is but the seed of death Abstracting all that came before From the roots and branches that are left To enrich the pasture's open door

A tune and chords came to me out of nowhere while I was practicing, part of which happened to line up perfectly with a lyrical snippet I'd already written. The rest of the lyrics sprung up almost effortlessly and now I'm 1/3-1/2 way through a new song. Fun! Still working out timing and chords so you know. The note I hit or rather don't on "fallow" is um. Let's not speak of it. but I'm excited to finish and polish this one.

Start in the middle I don't need to know where you're from Not every riddle was given to be answered Here we are now And I'm trying to mean what I, what I say Shoulder to the plow Just tell me what it is you heard?

You know youth is but the seed of age Ten years the field lay fallow Then erupted in a golden blaze And the slash and burn is hallow

Listening to Suzanne by Leonard Cohen repeatedly and I am sick I am SICK, she feeds you tea and oranges that come all the way from china and the sun pours down like honey on our lady of the harbor.. unwell quaking astral projecting screaming into this void etc.
