NIGHT IN THE CITY. (part three)

a prompt list consisting of lyrics of songs by project mili. there may be darker and violent themes present. part three to this prompt list. under the cut because this one got long.

SAIKAI.

when i was young and lost.

you showed up.

you showed up, and had my doors unlocked.

like thread, petals unfold.

you have shown me that i am still capable of caring for someone else.

i still bear the same innocence inside.

'cause now i know.

now i know that pain cannot define the past.

pain cannot define the past.

we are built to overcome endless mishaps.

you know, it's not so bad.

it's not so bad when you are with me.

you know, it's not so bad when you are with me.

cherish as long as we last.

s is not for sayonara.

let memories play back.

i knew i must step up.

you deserve the world and more.

the truth is that you'd rather spend our limited time together.

protection alone is not enough.

providing cannot fill an empty cup.

providing cannot fill an empty cup thirsting for love.

i questioned myself a lot.

what do i know about love?

how can i recreate what i've never had?

all i know is that i must keep you thriving.

if nutrients are what you lack, i will water you with every drop of blood i have.

i will water you with every drop of blood i have.

sacrifice is the easy path.

my absence cannot ever change the fact.

i wanted the very best for you, believe me.

our threads in red can never be cut.

will you forgive me at last?

SALT, PEPPER, BIRDS, AND THE THOUGHT POLICE.

bamboo basket, reflector, working brakes.

never forget your helmet.

see ya, i'm off to the morning market.

thirty-three lemons, a healthy-looking chicken, and a dozen free-range eggs.

thanks, keep the change.

i'm home.

what a perfect day.

i hanged the sheets out in the yard.

thinking about you, mother.

to recite her famous words.

all you need are salt and pepper.

all you need are salt and pepper to taste the happiness of life forever.

men in black kicked down my front door.

hey! who? what? why?

you violated act six seventeen.

you're under arrest.

you shouldn't have been born the way you are.

we began to sing.

they can never take anything from our souls.

they shaved off my hair.

i'm alive.

i still remember all the people i love.

so come at me, and do your worst.

as the morning came and went.

the people stayed and went.

the earth went 'round and 'round.

the stars never looked so kind.

every night, i was invited to watch.

i was invited to watch a theatre played by moonlit birds.

a theatre played by moonlit birds.

they spread their wings.

carrying our silenced voices.

singing our historic songs.

letting everyone in the future know that we existed.

what a perfect night.

i felt the urge to read a book.

i started to write, poems after poems.

we're finally free.

i picked up my bicycle.

riding home to mother.

writing my delusion world.

i saw a version of heaven where i sat in the yard.

i saw a version of heaven.

reading a paperback print of my book.

children lying on the grass.

singing to poems written by me.

PEACH PIT AND CYANIDE.

bitter and almondy.

darling, consume it all.

flavor is love.

mine is the most pungent.

juicy and savory.

filtering out the pulp.

pour me a cup.

pour me a cup, let's make it the end.

let's make it the end.

you peeled off fuzzy skin.

carved out a piece.

and fed your flesh to the mouths not mine.

the sweetest smell still lingers.

the sweetest smell still lingers on the unwanted peach pit you left behind.

so i took a bite.

let it chip away and grind down.

the future i fantasized.

the flavor's kind of nice.

darling, let the cyanide become our spice.

i wonder when i stopped fighting.

i wonder when i stopped fighting against this version of you.

this version of you who's kind to everyone except for me.

if we can't go back to where it all started, i'd rather enjoy my time.

seeing you by my side.

feeling sorry as i cried.

let it sting and paralyze.

my people pleasing mind.

i too know what love tastes like.

sweet cyanide.

TO YOUR OBLIVION.

open your eyes, dear damocles.

tell me, what's tied to my ceiling?

i've got everything.

i've got plenty of the good.

plenty of the worst.

all seemed splendid served on a silver dish.

all seemed splendid.

with each great power comes a great terror.

that's what they say.

that's what they want us to believe.

so what if these dreams i tried reaching out to are light years away from this reality we knew?

mirror, mirror, who's my living proof?

so what if i skipped my daily spoonful of virtue?

it's not like being nice will bring me closer to you.

closer to your temporary throne.

closer to a world i can call my own.

i know, your pride begs to disagree.

i earned it, claimed the blessed.

if i filtered out roses from your view, will you finally see there's a sword for me too?

it doesn't suit you at all.

so what if failures today make me a fool?

persistence always pays off in a decade or two.

mirror, mirror, show me someone new.

hey, what if i said that i never want to be you?

so why don't you step down from that throne?

so you can see me like the way i see you.

YEAR N.

hear my thoughts flow out like rivers.

pot of charcoal ink, paper weights, friction on the page.

hoping it would finally reach you someday.

like the distant lights in lunarscape.

embracing you always.

year 1, i learned your name.

year 10, we were always together.

year 100, i left you.

year 1000, i missed you.

so we start another journey.

by the time we reached our happy ending.

if our hearts remain lonely, will you make a promise to me?

will you make a promise to me?

let the spring blossom.

let summer dance.

let autumn sing a song.

winter yawned, it goes around and 'round.

with you, i sang along.

each and every flower in me lights up tiny fireworks.

i'm naming the stars after us.

i know we're determined to let go everything, anything.

first, it was sweet.

then it felt heavy.

since when did we start building happiness upon sacrifices?

despite all the good memories, it is time to face our reality.

sometimes goodbyes are necessary.

letting time repair our wounded beliefs.

if our hearts remain loving, will you break a promise with me?

will you break a promise with me?

and if our hearts remain beating, will you keep the promise to me?

will you keep the promise to me?

without you, i carry on.

i picked up the quill, filling out the pages.

our stories untold.

LIFE WE SOW.

sunny days over gold.

we walk upon the soil.

dragging down on the plow.

here is the life we sow.

tiny raindrops.

dance, bouncy new leaf.

children of the sea.

children of the land.

children on the hills.

children in the sand.

chasing over happiness.

i have travelled all the way to here.

being happy means to eat, and grow, and sleep.

do you see?

under the silver moon, we picked the ripened fruits.

sweetest ones for my love inside a wooden box.

SLEEP TALK METROPOLIS.

i'm building my muscles.

i make my own bentos.

low waste and responsible.

i'm learning to be minimal.

i wish to be hired to pay off my student loans.

i wish to be hired.

enjoyed being alone.

don't want to be alone.

i wanted my own home.

i needed a new phone.

i wanted to travel.

the times are different, did you know?

the times are different.

did you know?

we're living in a dream.

spilling our time on repeat.

we're living for the dream.

is it a sign?

i am in a race of one.

i wanted a child someday.

tell me it's not too late.

i'm dreaming of a sunny balcony.

so don't say yours was better.

PAPER BOUQUET.

loop through a silky ribbon, my pretender.

hide a scarlet letter.

manuals in hand.

we paint the world a bit redder.

bury my new friend, means to an end.

dress up in the mirror i am cinderella.

if the future needs a billion samples of flowers, i'm your reaper.

i'm your reaper.

i've no color.

so the least i can do for you is endure.

i'm here in familiar dark.

though sometimes i wonder.

where is my resetter?

faster than the speed of light.

shining bright, falling into our eyes.

we are sapphires.

we are sapphires, laying on sand.

the world now tastes a bit saltier.

is the future set in place?

is it not too late?

too late to be a good girl today?

dress up in the gutter i am snow white.

what strange words.

it all matters.

every piece we made is my treasure.

we walked down the aisle unexplored.

remaining strangers.

RTRT.

hold up, mister.

how about some retort, a pouch of curry?

but you're rather picky.

well, i'll make you something else.

don't need to show me how.

since i'm the mad scientist, proclaimed by myself.

no matter which one you pick i'll get it done.

delivery or takeout won't beat my retort pouch.

you're loving my retort.

i'm loving your retort.

you're my only retort.

you stretch your arms out asking for a hug.

hidden under your talisman is your practiced smile.

come here, mister.

that's when i realized we've became family.

i'll stitch you back up.

SIDESHOW DUCKLING.

i pray for a night of no end.

spinning around and around.

the ducking ceased her smile.

not enough.

not enough to be awarded love.

ladies and gentlemen.

here comes your fakest swan.

on my shoulder stood your heavy dream.

i took a leap.

i hate how every time i look to you.

step on their tongues.

badder than the devil.

i'm enough.

i'm enough to win my own approval.

goodbye.

goodnight.

i hope your dreams are sweeter than mine.

no matter how many pieces i lost and found.

some parts are always the same.

i killed the dawn you long desired.

that's enough.

that's enough to make me feel much better.

here comes your favorite swan.

burn me with your fire.

i understand, i already know.

i understand.

i already know.

you hate yourself more.

you hate yourself more than you have ever hated me.

look here, my dear.

face the ghost that you were.

the lost one you are.

the lover you were meant to be.

for you, i'd scatter every bit of your heart.

together we can search for them once more.

when our journey ends, we'll do it all again.

we'll do it all again.

we'll do it all again until your sun goes up.
