You lied,

Without any words,

Through unreturned trust.

You talk,

Without any words,

Through glances and guns.

Gentle violence,

Caused my silence,

And I don't know what to call it now.

So much for science,

I thought they could find,

Everything about human nature somehow.

I try,

To follow the road,

Back to my home,

But it belongs to someone else.

I try,

To let it all go,

Build a new house of gold,

But my hands don't seem to work.

Gentle violence,

Pushed me to silence,

And acceptance I didn't ask for.

I should've died,

The day it was final,

That you would never want me anymore.

[ Scene 5010 , S. , frustrations . ]

Ugh , songwriting ( specifically lyrics ) is so hard . I can never think of any ideas nor how to start a song off . The beginning is always the hardest for me . But literally all I want to do is to write . I WANT TO CREATE . BUT I HAVE NOTHING .

very small clip, but I’m happy with how it turned out. this is the song where patroclus’s ghost talks to achilles (Book 23 of the Iliad)

also here are the lyrics written out:

So, þe Odyssey, right? A ten-year voyage back to his home, Ithaca, where his wife Penelope is. And before þat, þe Trojan War, an immense, ten-year affair. It’s unclear how þe timeline of þeir lives go (at least, I couldn’t find very clear sources, not þat it much matters), but if Odysseus was 30/40 when he left, and Penelope was þe same age, þen she’d be 50/60 when he returned. And þat aging is þe crux of my concept:

Roxy has breached containment and is helping me finalize the lyrics.

Hopefully a couple more lines left and it should finally be ready :P
