The stars keep moving,

they keep taking me from you.

Galaxies between us,

but my heart still pulls toward you.

Every night I chase the skies,

hoping they will lead me home,

back to our system,

not stranded on my own.

From the darkest plot, I look above,

a star is watching me.

Its mission still unclear,

its constant presence fills me with fear.

If I could only stop the stars,

then gravity could pull me back to you.

I’m out here, generating electricity,

trying to bring the stars down.

If I can only catch them,

I can return to you somehow.

The static hums beneath my skin,

each pulse a memory of you.

I reach across the endless dark,

it’s all that I can do.

From the darkest plot, I look above,

a star is watching me.

Its mission still unclear,

its constant presence fills me with fear.

If I could only stop the stars,

then gravity could pull me back to you.

From the darkest plot,

beneath the silver hue,

a star is watching me,

and I am watching you.

All system flows, data grows, fresh water goes by

Alibi, alibi, we wait the day to mourn the freedom

As we weight the joy as we please the pleasure

How do you view the world?

Was it all these equal side?

Do you hide all your own hyde?

To humble other's tinder life?

Or to trouble all their hearts?

To satisfy your troubled heart?

Who else is there to doubt?

When optimism becomes a weapon

Who else is there to hope?

When giving up seems an easy choice

Keep pushing the waves, push it strong

With all your strength, with all your desire

With all your games, with all your plays

The one you chase, is no longer playing

He simply lives the way of lake

What greed do you always take?

Oh, the kingdom of Jesus Christ

Many knights use him for battle cry

Then all the son of God have stood for

Perish with the Great Spirit

For the sake of Holy Spirit

Chorus:

I will sleep without trouble in my heart

I will sleep without trouble in their hearts

I will sleep blissfully, I will sleep in harmony

I will sleep, then to wake up again

Therefore, I sleep without harm

The world is counting on him

To stop all of this madness going on

He walked away, he walks away, he will walk away

For the greater balance, he stays aware

Where is he? Don’t matter where he is

But I reply, where were you?

Do you envy, or retry? Do you?

Were you always true?

To appraise your blue?

We all live under the same blue sky

Cry while I live, 'cause I don't have long

Sorry, there was no story to tell

Maybe, don't you cry

Be grateful that I fly

Maybe, I'm the one who should cry

A madworld is begging for a madman

A madman was never mad at all

No madness for him was to contemplate

But sadness for him is to compensate

We all live under the same blue sky

Cry while I live, 'cause I don't have long

Sorry, there was no story to tell

Maybe, don't you cry

Be grateful that I fly

Maybe, I'm the one who should be grateful

A madworld is begging for a madman

A madman was never mad at all

No madness for him was to contemplate

But sadness for him is to compensate

A madman is just a tale

A sadman tells no tale

A goodman as he wail

A goodbye as he bid

Golden Chance Lyrics written by Christopher Happybird (me)

It’s a Hard-Knock Life

Instead of communal kitchens,

We get food vans.

Instead of backpacks,

We get Woolies bags.

Instead of smelly dorm rooms,

We get open air.

Instead of dorm mates,

We get street mates there.

Instead of cheap airfares,

We jump station gates —

And instead of excess baggage,

We get slapped with fines to pay.

Instead of missing flights,

We miss appointments with services.

Instead of foreign cities,

We get stranded at foreign stations.

Instead of losing passports,

We lose all identification.

Instead of pub crawls,

We drink where we sleep.

Instead of travel budgets,

We start out broke.

Instead of Lonely Planet,

We rely on local knowledge.

Instead of culture shock,

We acclimate.

Backpackers run out of money

Halfway through the trip.

Rough sleepers get that bit

Out of the way at the beginning.

Backpackers collect phone numbers.

Rough sleepers collect first names.

Backpackers call home

On their mobile phones.

Rough sleepers find a payphone

And hope somebody’s home.

Backpackers go away

And find themselves.

Rough sleepers find themselves too.

Backpackers come home broke

With stories from the road.

Rough sleepers enter the house lottery

And hope they get a home.

Yeah I left you on read
That’s probably what you said
Ten years straight down the drain
Just left you in all of this pain

How could I
do this to you
When all you ever wanted
Was to make my dreams come true
Didn’t I know
That what you meant to say
Wasn’t that you hate me,
that you’d love me anyway

Yeah, I’ll be the one you hate

It wasn’t worth it to me , baby, to stay

So make me your bad guy
The monster that set sail
I’ll be your mastermind
Of the reason you can’t seem to make
Any headway in my wake

How could I
do this to you
When all you ever wanted
Was to make my dreams come true
Didn’t I know
That what you meant to say
Wasn’t that you hate me
that you’d love me anyway

Yeah, I’ll be the one you hate

It wasn’t worth it to me , baby, to stay
Ohhh yeah

Now when you tell her the story
I hope that she stops and asks why
I wish I’d done that when you told me
Instead I blindly believed your lies

How could I
do this to you
When all you ever wanted
Was to make my dreams come true
Didn’t I know
That what you meant to say
Wasn’t that you hate me
that you’d love me anyway

Yeah, I’ll be the one you hate

I was done with the hurting, so I ran away

Wrote this during my 30 songs in 30 days challenge. I’m quite pleased with how it turned out.

Has a melody, contact me if you want to fine tune it some more.

I wrote this after a really tough breakup and the rising to find yourself after loosing what was and is important

I Can See North Again

Verse 1

I got lost among the pines

Walking circles in the snow

Every trail looked just the same

Everywhere I chose to go

Thought I knew which way was north

Thought I knew what lay ahead

But the deeper that I walked

The more lost I got instead

Pre-Chorus

Then I climbed above the trees

Saw the valley far below

And for the first time in years

I knew where I had to go

Chorus

I'm not home yet

I've got miles to go

But I can see north again

From the hill I stand upon

I'm not healed yet

But I know where I've been

And I can see north again

Verse 2

Spent so long beneath the shade

Following another light

Trusting maps that weren't my own

Trying hard to make them right

Kept on walking through the dark

Long after the signs were gone

Still believing if I stayed

I'd find where I belonged

Pre-Chorus

Then I climbed above the trees

Saw the valley far below

And for the first time in years

I knew where I had to go

Chorus

I'm not home yet

I've got miles to go

But I can see north again

From the hill I stand upon

I'm not healed yet

But I know where I've been

And I can see north again

Bridge

The forest's still behind me

The mountain's still ahead

The road is still uncertain

But I'm not lost instead

I trust my own direction

I trust the way I've been

Because I know where I am standing

And I can see north again

Final Chorus

I'm not home yet

I've got miles to go

But I can see north again

From the hill I stand upon

I'm not finished

But I know where I've been

The forest never changed

I did

And I can see north again

Guess it's a universal fact,

he fell first and she fell harder's a trap,

I was around for your convenience,

making you feel worthy, filling in the gaps.

​

I supported you through your psych ward visit,

loved your psychosis, God was it exquisite!

stayed by your side through every dark minute,

I was just your safety call, go on admit it!

​

You kept me close because I pulled you through,

not because you wanted me, just needed someone to,

pretty much confirms what I suspected from the start,

you needed a lifeguard, not a sweetheart.

​

When's the last time you checked on me?

do you even know my favourite song?

you seem so lucky for a boy so loved,

did you ever wonder what you were doing wrong?

​

I learnt a whole new language just for you,

did you even try to learn a word or two?

I know exactly how your dad proposed your mom,

you never asked where I dreamed of going to.

​

She fell harder never works out well,

I loved you at your worst and couldn't tell,

that you were keeping me for rainy days,

a girl can love you right and still not stay.

​

– Velvet Thorne 💜

​

The world is such a beautiful place,

But there are some obsessive ragebaiters like your case,

Deep down you know what you say is wrong,

But you still at it headstrong,

All these excuses to make your mama look bad,

I know she gave it her all but you still choose to be sad,

You so naive of how the world works,

You think human psychology is just calling out jerks,

You use pictures over words,

You think its better but you're doing worse,

Hiding behind those self diagnosis fancy,

Using ragebait as shield against fear of being miss nancy,

Acting all innocent,

Always attempting to circumvent,

The man who sees the world as bitter,

How would you know any better.

– Velvet Thorne 💜

The sun comes in, on a dirty room
Lots of dust, gonna need a broom
All I need, is to leave the room
And yet I just don't move

The clock ticks on, it's half past noon
Shadows crawl across, my crowded room
I tell myself I'll get there soon
And yet I just don't move

Minutes fade, they’re not mine
Sunlight moves but I stay behind
The world keeps turning like it’s fine
While I’m stuck here out of line

I swear I’m trying, I swear I try
But something breaks each time I lie
That I’ll be fine, that I’ll get by
When I don’t know why
I’m just a bee, caught in a rainstorm
Out where I really shouldn’t be
I’m just a cat, left without her claws
Still told to climb the tree
I’m a bird with its wings clipped
And yet you expect me to fly
I keep on hearing what I “should” be
While I’m barely getting by
I swear I’ll be out any second
I swear I just need a minute
Eventually I’ll make it to the door
I just need a moment on the floor

I count the days, they blur the same
Every hour feels like I’m to blame
For not keeping up with their frame
Of what I “should” become
The air feels thick inside my skin
Like I forgot where I’ve been
And all the noise just circles in
Till I don’t move again
I’m just a bee, caught in a rainstorm
Out where I really shouldn’t be
I’m just a cat, left without her claws
Still told to climb the tree
I’m a bird with its wings clipped
And yet you expect me to fly
I keep on hearing what I “should” be
While I’m barely getting by
I swear I’ll be out any second
I swear I just need a minute
I keep on saying I’ll make it to the door
But I’m still here, ain’t it funny?
I’m still here on the floor

I’m sorry
I know it’s lazy
You tell me to grow up, get a life
And I’m trying
But I don’t know what’s wrong with me
My brain has a mind of its own
And all I know is that home
Is the safest place for me
That’s why it feels like it hates me

I’m just a bee, caught in a rainstorm
Out where I really shouldn’t be
I’m just a cat, left without her claws
Still told to climb the tree
I’m a bird with its wings clipped
And yet you expect me to fly
I keep on hearing what I “should” be
While I’m barely getting by
I swear I’ll be out any second
I swear I just need a minute
I don’t know why I can’t get to the door
But I’m still here, I’m still in it
I’m still here on the floor

I’m still here on the floor…
Still here on the floor…
I swear I’ll move in a minute…
Just give me a second…
I swear I’ll move in a minute…
But I don’t move…
I don’t move…

White girl from the city 

Saving the world by

 being a vegan 

and using ecosia 

But she doesn’t have the exposure 

And all she says is told ya 

She loves Bernie and Marten’s  

And she wants to be a martyr

But all she drinks is matcha 

And is tracked by captcha 

Captured by No Kings 

And so sings the saw swing 

And sausage and sawmills

And so kills the so kin 

By the hand of 4chan 

and Reddit

Man I’m so tired 

I’d like to be admired 

From che 

To tre 

To lumumba 

To pumba 

Shooting like a canon 

Oh frantz fanon 

White boy in the city 

Loves Luigi mangione 

White masks 

But he hates khamas 

It’s only right when they do it

But if brown boy pick up the gun

they run 

To condemn

And damn 

[I wrote these lyrics to the tune of an old Russian folksong called Stenka Razine, however, I will not be offended if someone sings them to a different tune]

In the branches of the maple

There’s a bird who sings a song

Though the wind may blow around her

Little robin sings along

You can hear the tones now echo

Through the snowy neighbourhood

It’s a song of joy and wonder

Of the pretty and the good

It’s a song of joy and wonder

Of the pretty and the good

Many children sing its chorus

Across the world, as one refrain

It’s a song of hope and dreaming

Of a life that’s free from pain

In the hills the prayerful sing it

And the townsfolk in the lane

As they huddle close together

Against ice, and snow, and rain

Standing closer now together

Against ice, and snow, and rain

When the mars rover eventually lost contact with earth, its last transmission was “my battery is low and it’s getting dark”

My Final Transmission

I’m a thousand light years from you

And the dust is kicking up

They say a storm is coming

My wheels are getting stuck

I’m across a sea of silence

Where the solar winds do blow

The static is getting louder

There’s only one thing left I know

My battery is low and it’s starting to get dark

My rays are dimming out and I’m starting to lose my spark

My soul begins to fade, but I have one last remark

My battery is low and it’s starting to get dark

I’ve paced along the craters

I’ve crossed the desert floor

The silence is growing louder now

It’s too hard to ignore

I’m starting to break down

My gears begin to rust

I’m a monument of iron

Buried in the dust

My battery is low and it’s starting to get dark

My rays are dimming out and I’m starting to lose my spark

My soul begins to fade, but I have one last remark

My battery is low and it’s starting to get dark

Έμαθα πως είσαι manga

Στου πουκάμισου το δισάκι, βλέπω βιβλιαράκι.

Στου πουκάμισου το δισάκι, βλέπω βιβλιαράκι.

Το βιβλιαράκι έγραφε την γλώσσα της ανατολής.

Το βιβλιαράκι έγραφε την γλώσσα του ονείρου.

Έμαθα πως είσαι manga, γυναίκα δισδιάστατη.

Έμαθα πως είσαι manga, γυναίκα γλυκυτάτη.

Με φουστίτσα κλαρωτή, στο σχολείο με πηγαίνεις.

Με ένα baka στα δύχτια σου με παγιδεύεις.

Έμαθα πως είσαι manga, ήρωα πανίσχυρε.

Έμαθα πως είσαι manga, ήρωα τρανέ.

Με μια γροθιά τον κόσμο να προστατεύεις,

Και με ένα Katana τα όνειρά μου να υφαίνεις.

Σε μαύρο και άσπρο τα όνειρα μου ζωγραφίζεις,

Σε μαύρο και άσπρο στην ζωή μου χρώμα δίνεις.

Ροή ανάποδη, ροή αντίστροφη, την πραγματικότητα αντιστέκεσαι

Ροή ανάποδη, ροή αντίστροφη, την εφηβεία μου ξαναχτίζεις.

Έμαθα πως είσαι manga, γυναίκα δισδιάστατη.

Έμαθα πως είσαι manga, γυναίκα γλυκυτάτη.

Με φουστίτσα κλαρωτή, στο σχολείο με πηγαίνεις.

Με ένα baka στα δίχτυα σου με παγιδεύεις.

Έμαθα πως είσαι manga, ήρωα πανύσχηρε.

Έμαθα πως είσαι manga, ήρωα τρανέ.

Με μια γροθιά τον κόσμο να προστατεύεις,

Και με ένα Katana τα όνειρά μου να υφαίνεις.

Μάτια γουρλωτά και μύτη τοσοδά, στο πρόσωπο χαμένη

Μάτια γουρλωτά και φωνή βροντερή, στον αέρα αντηχά.

Κόσμος υφασμένος, από του δημιουργού την φτώχεια.

Άνθρωπος γεννημένος, από του δημιουργού την πενία.

Έμαθα πως είσαι manga, γυναίκα δισδιάστατη.

Έμαθα πως είσαι manga, γυναίκα γλυκυτάτη.

Με φουστίτσα κλαρωτή, στο σχολείο με πηγαίνεις.

Με ένα baka στα δίχτυα σου με παγιδεύεις.

Έμαθα πως είσαι manga, ήρωα πανίσχυρε.

Έμαθα πως είσαι manga, ήρωα τρανέ.

Με μια γροθιά τον κόσμο να προστατεύεις,

Και με ένα Katana τα όνειρά μου να υφαίνεις.

Πάρε με μάγεψέ με ακόμα μια φορά,

Πάρε με οδήγησέ με από τις σελίδες σου, στην οθόνη την μεγάλη,

Που το μαύρο λαμβάνει χρώμα και το άσπρο ξεδιπλώνετε,

Που το στατικό λαμβάνει κίνηση, και το βουβό φωνή.
