/// Maybe it's okay, but when the sun is gone ///
~
3 minutes and dawn will arise again
3 minutes and a blessing will shine on me
Filling me with song and wisdom and joy
'Cause I'll stay close to you
Without fear that you might forget
Oasis in my eyes, an anchor keeping me sane
“And you'll prove to me that I am made to be loved”
I pray this story won't be ending in pain
'Cause I can't reach for you my dear
As these wings are stuck here
Warm breeze after warm breeze I try
And seize one of all these moments slipping by
(And I'll try, and I'll try, and I'll try, and I'll try…)
Seizing us before you’ll fade into memories
Saving you before I’ll fade into my dreams
And as your Angel, I know
This holy river will forever flow
Hold on, my dear
Cause I will run, run, run to save you in the morning
Oasis in my eyes, an anchor keeping me sane
“And you'll prove to me that I am made to be loved”
I pray this story won't be ending in pain
'Cause I won't reach for you my dear
As these wings are stuck here
~
\\\ Wake up, our dawn is golden \\\

Give me all your hope
when the stars finally align
I was part machine
tell me who am I?
Back beyond the past
back before the sizzle and spark
We were all alone
in the flickering dark
Once upon a time
when we found some kind of home
I was by your side
where we could touch the sky
And I owe it all to you
and I owe it to us together
Keep together
(we've got this)
Changing weather
(stay honest)
What led us here to colorful manes and
hopeful coats and hooves?
A passing moment to describe
a glimmer of wonder
With the seas I saw inside
and the waves that crashed on by
Give me all your hope
a tiny garden in which to thrive
A seaside shack, the moon and
the sun waving goodbye, Twilight
What led us here to colorful manes
what led us here to colorful manes
What led us here to colorful manes
and hopeful coats and hooves!

did you talk to me
i always had trouble with speech
i guess i don't mind you hovering
always hovering somewhere, just out of reach
on another side
on another side
chasing butterflies
'neath the pearlescent sky
look right through me
with glowing blue eyes
fixed on episode three,
season infinity
darken all you can see
always a puzzle to me
or were you singing?
i know that we're bound to descend
i bet you'll be good at it soon
or maybe you could start to pretend
pull against the tide
pull against the tide
strap in for the ride
never demoralised
oh, i could accompany you
maybe you'll stay around?
claim your section
of the frequency spectrum
with a robot like me
it's a reasonable fantasy
but no one and nothing is free
chances are it'll be just fine

I'll Take You on the bus ride there
The Pony Swag Megamix back in rough night air
A blind bag in my pocket, need to up my share
In Hasbro for the show's sake, I love my mares and
I'm sixteen, as yet unknown for the sixteens
In high school, I'm counting down the days til I get free
Excepting Saturdays, when I'm watching through S3
Then family told me I need therapy and my chest squeeze
Such words often bespoke an awful advance:
They saw me as the plot of the joke and not of the land
But something grows here, they don't offer a glance
When making marks that can last is at the heart of my clan
How it seizes you (uh) creating over many days -
Want it, need it, later you hate it and make it anyway
S'how it goes - now I'm 20 and I'm listless
Over liking shows or spending money on my interests
Couldn't MC after MMC
But it was almost foundational, SGP
My roommate brought me back to it, watch three sea-
sons and loving each one and then he leaves, okay
21, now my college days are over with
Sitting in apartments alone is kind of sobering
I make stuff, attain fame under a post trip:
Ditherer, rap a small fire like if Smoulder spit
Each day escaped, one by one nights passed
And this continued as the ponies came to bump my tracks
And then occasionally I'd leave, later come right back
A finger up, warning them this one's among my last
They don't believe me. I don't either - I mean, hey,
I'm flooding like Memebase in '11 or Freewave
And not a NotACleverPony, though I don't mean hate
Cus lately I been dreaming people'd all call me 'she' - Wait.
(Damn it.)
-----
24 for now, waiting for Autumn like a Ditzy is, but
Where'm I gonna be after I pull another fifty six?
Not making pone songs, yeah, but what's the cutoff
On one-offs for background ponies I work my butt off
I'm not OP, but still I gotta know where the threads is
A dressmaker lurking by the renegade setlists
It won't last, and I tentatively accept this
I sense this is representative of the census
Of ponyfolk, least all of the ones who've been around some
Choices are us forging a path and leave the sounds up
Or wax evasive, rap the tapes, ignoring time
Crack V8s and watch G8 in '49
And we're immortalized - that is, we're archived
My heart lies beating in the depths of your hard drives
In hard times, kinda wish I'd played the guitar, eyes
Above, trot a path by the light of the star signs
And so it goes: in the vein of creator stories
Mixing all that sappy stuff in between the tornado warnings
And even if our cons melt into the consensus
There'll always be a couple pony ears in attendance
It's endless, their irons spending months in the fire
And only catch up on my good fics once I'm retired
Made a bridge series from the older to the newer Dith
So if I'm not fly, you can catch me pulling scooter tricks,
Due to quit, yet I'm still riding, tryna humor this
The horse in my blood has probably got something do with it
Normal rappers staring at me like I've got two heads
And then put a verse up, it get worse, you bet
And it's another twelve comments as a token of love, thanks
The day-to-day'll often keep a pone in a rough place,
Quit saying "too late" and just go for it, son, ace
221: a book-open-and-shut case

Evdog - Through the Veil
06:15
|
|||
In the Twilight of the day
Memories remain on my mind
All that could have been but never was
As the Sunset fades to grey
I find it hard to leave it behind
Life goes on but not for me because
I can't get to sleep
How can they do it so easy?
Now the Starlight has begun
This is who I'm destined to be
I'm at the peak and, yet, I feel so small
There was Friendship, Moon, and Sun
Now there's only one of the three
And I don't know if I can do it all
I can't get to sleep
How can they do it so easy?
I count a thousand sheep
So what does that say about me?
Hold my heart, every part
Through the veil, through the veil
I can't get to sleep
How can they do it so easy?
I count a thousand sheep
So what does that say about me?
Once I cross the line
I'm taken into the sunlight
I'd like to say I'm fine
But it still goes on
Hold my heart, every part
Through the veil, through the veil
Still I yearn to return
Through the veil, through the veil

Twilight is searching for
stars to fill her sky.
White light blinds her, the
sun is far too bright.
Dark night brings her to
somewhere deep inside.
Twilight is searching for
something she can’t find.
Something strange has happened to the
flowers and the trees.
This is not, is not, the time for
them to change their leaves.
(So)
Twilight wanders through
letters she can’t write.
Time stands still when she
looks into her eyes.
Twilight’s tears flow, and
pools reflect her light.
Try as she might, she
cannot calm the tides.
Something strange has happened to the
rainbow in the sky.
The light has cast a shadow and the
colors aren’t quite right.
(As)
Twilight is burning up, a
fire she can’t fight.
Crystal trees shine, with light
leaves as sharp as knives
Ink and graphite be-
come the darkest light.
Twilight takes flight, she
cannot bear to cry.
Something strange has happened to the
sun, the moon and stars.
The constellations vanished, but their
light has left a scar.
(But)
Twilight is fading, as
darkness fills the sky.
Moonlight is dripping in-
to her violet eyes.
Starlight is singing a
lonely lullaby.
Daylight is dancing a-
way from paradise.
Something strange has happened to the
rivers and the sea.
The water’s standing still and re-
flections can’t be seen.
(Now)
Twilight is sleeping, as
memories pass her by.
Sun follows moonshine, the
beauty of the night.
Twilight is ending, and
so she says goodbye.

tell me why you came here
I thought that you’d be safer I thought that I could leave you :: dear
I don’t know what you gave me I don’t know what I planned
I saw the face before me and broke it in my hand :: broke it in my hand
for a while :: we could lie here :: could lie
& all my friends are near me
& all my friends are sad for me :: don’t be
losing a world is easy
if you never stopped looking up you’d never see the bed of stars :: beneath me
for a while :: we could lie here :: could lie :: for a while :: we could lie here :: could lie :: for a while :: we :: for a while :: we could lie here :: for a while :: we could lie here :: could lie here :: could lie here :: could lie here :: could lie
stay :: just stay now
we’ll both :: lose our names now
just wait :: just tell me
you’ll love me still :: when the stars burn out
::::
open the door
you thought you would keep the moon away
you thought that the view looked exactly the same :: lying down on your floor
they entered your dreams before
when you thought you could touch them they’d constellate
when they opened your mouth how you couldn’t explain :: why you’d been so forlorn
& all my hands are tied
& oh your eyes are beautiful
& all my thoughts were mine
I gave them all away :: who knows what we’ll find

where are we now
a brand new life ahead
look at us now
like the stars that split now shift to red
and i i dont regret a thing
and i i wont forget a thing
This life that we found
holds years of love and friends
and as good as it sounds
there comes a time when everything ends
But the time
we spent wont go away
and the love
we sent wont go away
my friends
are still beside me now
and our songs
still reside within me now
It takes
some time
to change
I know
but we’ve
been changing
all these years
you know
watch me be this
light speed space ship
past the new worlds
futures unfurled
pasts are great things
meant to be things
memories left there
in our minds care
roads before us
yes they scare us
but our strength comes
from our past sum
