**Words: Beach, Music, Light, Sunday, Sunset**

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

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.
