One day
On a sunday
I remember light
Shining down
And you let me down
Cause what I'm thinking of
It's what I wish
Be lost in bliss
But life doesn't think about this
So I'm still stuck here
You let me down
I know you hate me
Cause the words came from your mouth
I might not be here tonight
Might hit the road
Play it solo
But I'm full of woe
When I see your face
I'll probably look away
Don't wanna talk
So I'll walk across the lawn
Away from you
From life
Just wanna say goodbye
I remember how you tackled me
And you sreamed at me
Once I tried to call the cops
Cause what you did breaks the law
But you ripped the phone from my hands
Well, look how are relationship lands
When I think
I hear music in my head
Light fills my thoughts
But when I think of you
The record breaks
No song will play
I don't care what you think of me
But respect the story please
Wish I could feel the breeze
On the beach
Away from this
Respect the story cause it's true
My dad hates me and I'm blue
He threw me to the ground again
And my breath was knocked out again
I can't try to fight back
He threw me into the wall of this shack
I wish I could run away
Sell my soul away
Just to forget what he's said
I'm lying in my grandparents' bed
Cause I can't be home right now
Doesn't feel like home right now

The Burning Sunset
Why can't Sunday last forever
Why can't best friends be together
Why are some things so out of reach
Every exam countdown is a last fight
Every bright day melts away into night
Everything eventually comes to an end
The sea might wash the beach away
The darkness might swallow the light one day
But the details doesn't have to be that way
We don't have to be stuck in reality
We can live in the lands of fantasy
We know we can thrive in imaginary
Even if the world is in catastrophe
Even if the factors have no sympathy
Even then there are other ways to be free
So maybe this is our final fight
So maybe this last look is the last light
Then let this be a shout of courageous defence
The last dance to music
In front of the burning sunset

Animiti walked through the crowded room, trying to shove her way though. The Sunday night bar was packed, full of people trying to party away their last free hours before work on Monday. This was where all the “good” and bad people came after sunset, and where every mans true intentions were shone. Once they weren’t with high social class and people to please, they would succumb back to the very same thing they swore never to do again. People filled the bar, drinking, smoking, gambling, talking, kissing... Animiti rolled her eyes and looked away, causing her to almost get slapped in the face by a pistol that a man was waving around. “Watch it” she growled, glaring at the man. The man yelled something back at her, but Animiti ignored him. She couldn’t hear what he said anyway, for music was blaring throughout the entire bar, making it hard to hear anything but it. The room seemed to throb with the noise, pumping like a heart with every drum beat. The fluorescent lights flickered, contrasting to the neon signs that shone brightly throughout the smokey building. Stupid paintings of beaches and boats hung out of place on the walls, tilted at odd angles. They belonged in cute houses and resorts, not here where they lay unnoticed on the damp walls. A man stumbled into her, drunkenly slurring something. He draped his arm on her shoulder, his puffy face close to hers. Animiti wrinkled her nose in disgust, pushing him off her and into a group of girls. The girls began to laugh and smile with him, humoring him while a member of their group slipped his wallet from his unknowing pocket. Animiti smirked, continuing to move toward the far back corner of the bar, where the air was always cold and the music seemed quiet, and where the man they called “boss” sat waiting for her.
