The Bullet (MadBoi)
03:52

Oh my mama told me suffering is bound to make you bitter or better And I know my troubles haven’t been nearly as hard as most
But a frayed umbrella doesn’t make the falling rain any wetter
& creaky floorboards & whiny hinges doesn’t mean you heard a ghost
I put all my eggs in some strange goddamn basket
Hoping one-and-done love would never betray me
And though my treasured vessel coulda ended up my casket
I didn’t dodge the bullet but the bullet dodged me
My daddy told me that the wound is the best place the light can enter
And hell is the place where the soul is most unable to love
And while no teacher, no prophet, no guru can bring you to the center
You can coax the kingfisher’s call to silence the mourning dove
Oh the queen of my heart ruled with an iron fist
I paced my blackened cell, even though I had the key
And when the sunrise greeted me with the Judas kiss
I didn’t dodge the bullet but the bullet dodged me
I want a kind woman, and someone I can be kind to
An unconfined woman, who doesn’t even know the meaning of untrue

Some Strings (SadBoi)

I hope you’re as patient with him
As you weren’t patient with me
Hope you go easy on him, as he is
Grafted on your family tree
Is he everything you wanted?
Is he everything I’m not?
Did you find your perfection, though you knew it
Was gonna be a long shot?
How I wanted to forget you,
O, my God, how I tried
Despite the tears and the anger
Something spans the divide
Seems there still are some strings
From what wasn’t meant to me
Seems there still are some strings, between you and me
Between you and me

I Fall Hard (NomadBoi)
07:12
|

We weren’t quite kids, not quite adults
That didn’t stop us from forming playground cults
You were our quirky leader, making quirky scenes, [like when you asked:]
“Why do I have all this space in the front of my jeans?
I’m not a dude, this is kinda obscene”
Oh dear lord, when I fall
Oh dear lord, when I fall
I fall hard
You picked me first at Japan Fest
Took me a while to return your interest
Made a silly ring out of grass
But time to show you love - I just sat on my ass
I thought I knew how to raise the bar
I tried to impress you - when I ran and when I played guitar
And oh dear lord, when I fall
Oh dear lord, when I fall
I fall hard
It had been a while since I’d been smitten
When I saw you standing alone, god, how I was bitten
A pouty face begging to be loved
I thought I could just maybe be the one
The next few years I was your surrogate boyfriend
A role I loathed and loved until the bitter end
Oh dear lord, when I fall
Oh dear lord, when I fall
I fall hard
I noticed you from afar
A woodland nymph or mermaid - still don’t know what you are
Worked up the courage to talk, 5 hours first time in the park
But you were never gonna fall in love… with me…
Stayed up all night with queso, doing sun-salutes
When my computer crashed, I lost my photo tributes
Oh dear lord, when I fall
Oh dear lord, when I fall
I fall hard
The unexpected once again
At a home-brew party with my dearest friends
A smiling face, a dotted dress
Faked my way through some jams, but my brain was such a mess
Didn’t hear from you for a year
Suddenly we are revealing all our hopes and fears, but
Seems my timing’s never right
Slow-shutter story as the exes reunite
Oh dear lord, when I fall
Oh dear lord, when I fall
Oh dear lord, when I fall
Oh dear lord, when I fall
I fall hard
I fall hard
I fall hard
I fall hard
BONUS VERSE: No More Nomad / Happy Ending
Time moves slow, and time moves fast
Our brains connected with wires from our past
Music has its own matchmaking plans,
Projector adventures, and timid holding hands,
Parking lot romance, assurance I’ll move slowly,
Can’t help but revel in the sinful and the holy,
Loving you has been my favorite pastime,
The cosmos saved the best ’til now, cuz I’m falling for the last time,
Oh dear lord, when I fall
Oh dear lord, when I fall
I fall hard
