Narwhals

I let a candy - cane striped tooth come out of my head
The size of a sword, I let fear get out of me this time instead

This can extend longer, I can sense if you come near me, baby
No need to migrate, when I got you by my side, come to me

We can be here five months if you dare
Let's let it all go, for each other we must care

Under the Baffin-Bay Davis Strait
Underwater collisions, can't hear, getting late

Can't you see the threats we have to face everyday?
Pollution is what is making it hard to see you, my bay?

Gimme some polar cod, squid, and shrimp
I'll take you half a mile in the water, pimp

hmm, hmm, hmm?
mmmm, mmm, mmm

Time to change colors because I'm aging
Blue and black now, let's go dancing

First Crush

I can't help but smile at the thought I'll be seeing you

Butterflies rise up in my stomach, possibly a whole zoo

You don't even know, how many times you crossed my mind

Walking to get a drink of water, I glare at you side by side

The dimples that rise in your cheeks, whenever your smiling

They deepen and flush into a mixture of pink clouds, blending

In class during tests, you sit right behind me and my hearts beating

Trying to act normal, and once it's done, I turn around and our eyes met

Quickly looking at the trophies of the shelves, pretending to look around

Your eyes were a bit moisty, you seemed so caring

And did I tell you that they're my favorite iris, and color of all times?

I felt so lost, I hope you know how much you're worth

It took me seven months to realize, all the snap shots in my mind

I can't help, but sit on the floor with the chair, from all of this and hide

The moment you gave the sweetest compliments

Well, your voice was like the whisper of the wind

Calm like the baby blue skies, clear

Sweet, like the simple things, hello

Going down the stairs, I see you catching up

But I hurry, embarrassed, walk slowly and pacefully

One step at a time, I wait for the special walk

And there you go, you take the opposite direction

I remember every single word you said

They're all in my mind, all in my head

You surprised me, by the weird things you say

Told me to wait, just wait and expected a hug

I remember the first one, and I couldn't reach you

You were whispering in class to your friend

Looking down, hair covered your face

You glared, and I shied away, in grace

is this that word, that rhymes with rush?

Starts with a c, and says "hush?"

It's raining, what to do

Time is passing, im fond of you

Hope it doesn't take too long

Oh no, it sounds like a song

hopefully this will all go away

it is wasting my time to stay

Was this skinny love

Or maybe just a dove?

Cute Kids

So we were then free

And met near the bunny ears

Lost- it was almost

Spiderfinger

"Spiderfinger," she screams as her hands clutch my arm

Black nails, creeping behind me, and daunting me of harm

Shadows chasing me from this candle light, glowing

Long nails, fingers intertwining around me, clawing


As this heart goes, a thump - thump- ping

Wrapping me around this cobweb, wrapping

"Spiderfinger," She whispers, whispers to me

This pointy sword stabs me, as I am bleed-bleeding


Cloudy sky, eerie wings, branches shake - shaking

Head is going dizzy, as this "spiderfinger" spinning

You, limbering behind me, oh no, spider- you

Shadows creeping, shadows, oh no, it's true


Shining smile captures me whole, fangs so alarming

As she lays her eggs, darkness swipes me, coming near, coming

she is caressing me under her arms, caressing

Spinning me around, my body is itching, itching


As those jaws drool on my toes, I no longer no

If I'll come out alive, but here is one last hello

Let me give you one last whisper, darling

I loved you before we even met, heart aching

Gothicly Gruesome

Eerie winds sending shivers down my spine
As the clouds cover the moon
You say, I will come back soon
You say, I will come back soon
1,2,3 as I walk down the street, I believe that these pumpkins glow so fine

Midnight black not a glimpse of stars, for this foggy night
Witches on brooms, yell if you dare
You whisper, I will be there
You whisper, I will be there
Walking past gothic mansions, with dark windows, haunting my sight

My skeleton will remain inside this body forever
As I slowly rise out of this tomb to look for you
Little owl, keeps asking, who? Who?
Little owl, keeps asking, who? Who?
My soul is the shadow walking on your door, once more

Finding my way as I am entangled in this cobweb, boo!
These ghosts with powdered faces and long fingers, come creeping
As the Gothicly gruesome dungeons bells go ringing, ringing
Dungeons bells go ringing, ringing
As I walk, the glass shatters, the houses are spooky too
