Seeds of Greed

 My thoughts on money. I understand that it's a necessity, but I think we put to much value on it. What is money but a side effect of hard work and success, fame even. This is a song more about selflessness. That's it.

Tears on His Piano

 This one us obviously based off Your Lie in April, so spoilers ahead. ~~~~ Tears on His Piano  A pianist and a violinist a match made in heaven When he saw her on that April day  His eyes glowed in awe by her beauty While she'd stands high playing for the kids She'd fooled him in thinking  she was in love with someone else  She'd lie to him, but he didn't know that  until it was too late.  She'd pushed him to play  but he couldn't hear the notes And now there's tears on his piano Can't hear what he's playing His tears fall on the keys while he plays And now there's tears on his piano She gets ill from a disease.  She can't walk, she falls on into the floor  He's in pain and in love with her  He doesn't know the lie she told And now there's tears on his piano He cries for her love  His tears fall on the notes And now there's tears on his piano He reads a letter from her She tells him she lied to him  he loved him all along...

A Siren in the Water

 A Siren in the Water I see her face in the reflection  The water clear as ever Looking up and I see her Gracefully dancing on the water Gracefully dancing on the water A real siren in the water As I drown and float away  In the water I can't swim in Rough waters come and go But there she stays I reach up to her Trying to get to know her And I'm drowning  As the river takes me Winners and losers alike Can't compete with her elegance Maybe her lips, maybe her lips Are like sugar, are like sugar And I'm drowning as I'm trying to reach her As she dances on the water Her elegance can't compete  With the winners and losers Gracefully in the water she swims And I'm been taken away by the water Never gonna see her again Never stood a chance As I've sunken to the bottom There she goes dancing  Gracefully on the water No effort in her eyes As she looks at me  With hearts in her eyes And I'm drowning as I'm trying to reach her And she dances on the water  ...

Tears of the Kingdom

 Title obviously inspired by the new Zelda game, Tears of the Kingdom. ~~~~~ Tears of the Kingdom  A kingdom of ruin Citizens cry Never had a chance to say goodbye Their world crumbly below their feet No crocodile tears are vocalized. What would you do When your nation falls apart  What would you do When your home is gone What would do When the it all falls apart  Tears of the kingdom (Tears of the kingdom) It's all falling apart (Tears of the kingdom) Tears of the kingdom (Tears of the kingdom) The kingdom is dead (Tears of the kingdom) Tears of the kingdom Now you're held captive  By the invaders There's no escape Time to accept fate You ain't going back to  The days of joy They strike you down  One by one You're falling to your knees  Full of pride Trying to protect  Your former nation's pride What would you do When your life is falling apart  What would you do  When you're held captive  What would you do For the freedom you...
