Charlie - The Great Masquerade

-

 


Based On: The Black Dog by Taylor Swift 

Charlie they've been calling out

To you for sometime now

You've been hiding in the stores

To see if they would care at all


Have you been playing hard to get?

Is that what you want or just another death?

You say

" People stay and people leave

Don't you say you know what's best for me"


Your heart belongs to every ocean you have sailed

To find a way from it all

You say, "People stay and people leave 

Don't you say you know what's best for me


I'm quiet inside and I just wonder

If it all was a waste of time

I pushed my limits, let it rain

Took this dimwit of a past I never reclaimed 

But people stay and people leave

Don't you say you know what's best for me"


You cry in Shakespearean anecdotes

Draw in the thought of an afterlife 

That couldn't possibly disappoint you more

Left bitter in the midst of nothing at all


And just for the better split of a second

You had the best one month of your life

If all your prudence was the objection

Playing dumb was the twist of a rusted knife


You may never tell me the whole story

Afraid that I might pick the wrong sides

But Charlie I see you tearing up at dinner 

Whisper "What if he was the love of my life?"


You can't eulogize the life of a river that never flowed

But you grieve the memory of the sunsets you wished you'd known

"What do I do? Stare through the holes in my roof?

And long for star who was just like you?


I've been pondering relentlessly

Did I encourage his complacency?

I'm moonlighting as an artist

Painting sapphire waterfalls that wash away his memory"


Charlie they know it wasn't a fair fight

You had the taste of a misery that hurt your right

But people stay and they turn out the lights

When their Sun just gets a little too bright.

Goodbye

I knew I loved you  But I had to let you go You looked into my eyes I've never seen that look before That disappointment, with Which you learnt to forget me The paranoia slowly Killed me in your dreams And as you walked over  My grave, I could sense you  That bitter sweet decay That cold hearted shoulder With the sound of the day My body began to turn blue I deserved all the tears Except the ones I got from you It's tattooed in my mind The face with which you said goodbye Its the last thing I'll remember But the first to make me cry.  - Neha Bhende

Sapphire - CANDOUR

Eternity is a curse, one I brought upon myself Craving immortality wouldn't you wish to live forever too If you were given the chance to If you are never going to breathe your last then you will have nothing to live for Emotional saturation is an inevitability, nothing to look forward to If only I could dive into that sapphire I tell you I don't want you but you know I'm a liar Pity my broken designs so you can put me together Changing minds is not something I fancy either You called me an odd bird flying away from the right direction I deafen the noises I think is irrelevant but when it's you it seems to matter You ask me about shabby drawings on my skin that never seem to fade Incredibly hilarious, I find it, when your eyes magnify and I'm flooded with that colourful bane If only I could dive into that sapphire I tell you I don't want you but you know I'm a liar Pity my broken designs so you can put me together Changing minds is not something I fancy eithe...

Based On: Bates Motel Every inch of me craves exploring every inch of you I see you staring out of the train window, you're so new To this town, I swear it's as harmless as harmless can be Oh Marion! All you'll ever have to fear is me Sneak into the motel room that isn't yours Your red hair damp with the rain, there's something you should know He isn't who he claims to be, there's a dark cloud underneath Oh Marion! all I ask of you is to trust only me Let me drive you to his house I owe you an explanation See him dancing in their living room, he calls his wife his special I bet he told you to run away with him all the way to New Jersey Oh Marion! Forsake his beautiful lies and run away with the money I know how great she is, she reminds me of my Norma The two of you don't deserve his filth, he's poisoned your aura A misdemeanor at most, he thinks he's seen your ghost Oh Marion! Go ahead and break his window he should know what he'...

Little Things

Hold up my bag  While you walk to school with me Wait at the gate each day To ask me how my day has been I'll tell a lie " It was fine" You knew I wasn't alright Silently we drive back home Discussing what I'd like to eat at night Smile at me with no ounce of sadness As I show you what I'm proud of Pat me on the shoulder and say let's celebrate Somehow we always seem to have cake Two years old, dancing in the living room Barefoot on the carpet, no music heard All I remember is that video camera Backed up onto the family folder Smaller the drop, bigger the ocean Steeper the cliff, easier the climb Talk to me about the little things Trust that I'll remember the little things Habits die hard over centuries Battles cool down, in the wake of memories Call it a truce, because you're my parents Call it a truce, because I learned my lesson -Neha Bhende

Prometheus - CANDOUR

I bet you were everyone's teenage dream But my honey oak and your Philadelphia smoke Couldn't put two and two together even if it wanted to Call me Jezebel for all the things I've craved You mistake your hate for me for God given faith How did your jealousy, manage to outshine mine You have run out of your love for me And i have run out of patience tonight But take me back, take me back And all the things I should've I said like that I should have followed you down And out blindly into the crowd Take me back take me back And all the things I should've said like that I'd call you my Prometheus but the only thing you've given me is salty floods Did your halo shine brighter than the moon that night? When you walked out of one of our petty fights How long does is take to figure out that in every war both sides are fought So I can't be the only one found rotting in the mid summer sun Call me your existential crisis waiting for the wrong time to show up Questi...
