Faetales Faedom challenge day two: song
Below is a link to a song that I wrote for the 2019 Faedom challenge week day two prompt 'song'.
This song is from Mosk's perspective. I'm specifically dedicating this song to @not-poignant. Thank you for all that you do, Pia. 💜
Feel you down into the roots of me
A pull like sunlight on the leaves of my tree
When you took me never thought I'd be
I was just an empty vessel cracked
That hollow silence loud in its lack
And what was left knew there's no going back
Just kindling for the pyre
As long as you promise to keep the ashes
And kiss me with your flames
I'll ignore the char the past is
Can you burn away the blame?
'Fore I knew it, you had sown the seed
Who knew I'd follow long as you would lead?
You try to be what you think I will need
But darling I don't even know
That barren soil cracks, an echoed song
My heart can't hold it, I was mended wrong
This tender tendril, it does not belong
It's an agony, this growth
As long as you promise to keep the ashes
And kiss me with your flames
I'll ignore the char the past is
Can you burn away the blame?
I'll give you all that I can give
You want to light my dark, you want me to live
But there are things that I cannot forgive
If I could be the vision in your eyes
Maybe I could just stop telling lies
But the truth may herald my demise
Still, I'll burn to breathe your smoke
I would give anything to paint your amber gaze
I'll bring you blankets warm against the cold,
I'll light the match and set my heart ablaze
Cinders just for you, my love glowing autumn gold
And I will rise up above the ashes
I'll kiss you in the flames
We can't forget the char the past is
But when you burn me baby
We'll burn away the blame
We'll burn away the blame
We'll burn away the shame
Honestly I've been sitting on this song for weeks and can't believe that I was able to hold back from positing it! I'm super proud of it!
I'm actually going to be recording a professional quality version of this as my final project in an Audio Sound Design course I'm taking this semester, so stay tuned because in a month or so there will be a much higher quality version to listen to/download for free .
