about

kalama musi pi toki Inli???

a demo for "ma pi lon ala." this is what that song started as before, well, most elements of it changed. rather than making fantastical love into something real, this one's about making fantastical danger real.

sina sona e jan olin ike la o usawi ike e ona kepeken musi ni ^^

lyrics

danger
in my eyes
oh, i've got a fighting spirit
and you think it's funny
oh, but angels
when they fall from heaven
don't quite make it down
falling to the ground

and you're panicked
cause it's tricky
when it seems
like you've got the world
in a manic little pixie
a dreamlike darling girl
and i warned you, and i warned you
and i warned you once again
but you gave me your name and you took me to your place
and i think you can figure out the rest

so step back, back through the door
i don't wanna see you anymore
hush now, don't say a thing
crying ain't gon help you if it's me you're running from
and you can't even stand your ground
you never had one
you've got nowhere left but down
oh boy, must suck to be you now
suck to be you now

higher
all the time
oh, but you're on a timer
every second, keep me guessing
always on your mind
when you want me
oh, you're always on my mind
the way that you haunt me

and you're panicked
cause it's tricky
when it seems
like you've got the world
in the hands of a manic little pixie
a dreamlike darling girl
but i warned you, and i warned you
and i warned you once again
still you gave me your name and you took me to your place
and honey, you know all the rest

so step back, back through that door
i don't wanna see you anymore
hush now, don't say a word
what makes you think i care if it hurts? i'm loving it
and you can't even stand your ground
you never had one
you've got nowhere left but down
oh boy, must suck to be you now
suck to be you now
