Lyrics to Captive by Teesa

You broke me into pieces when you said that we’re through
Your lies I’m still believing, was any of it true?
I go to bed wrong, hoping to wake up right
But this place reminds me.
You took your things out, even stole my light
And left me here in nothing

You take my heart captive, captive
Nothing feels the same, the same
Can’t you tell what’s happening now?
The lover takes the pain

Rewind us like a film, but only the good times
You’re perfect and I’m patient, but that’s not in real life
You were the careful and I was the generous type, I was never leaving
I burn your photograph only to get back my mind
All I believe in is

You take my heart captive, captive
Nothing feels the same, the same
Can’t you tell what’s happening now?
The lover takes the pain

You walked away. My heart remained.
Why can’t I just forget you you you you you?

Lyrics to Ice Age by The Airplane Boys

Call it emotional
but I can’t be more sure
we over thinking the battle inside the cold war
the cold war
my weapon I draw with the pen, while you draw with the sword
feel the pain with my ink like a tattoo, body is sore
mind body and soul
lover or fighter divided love administers war
the guilt that provided a wall with surprising decore
searching for more
future is yours
but I ask myself if the end is near
are you ready for the revolution my dear
government oil with religion and fear
underwent violence, faces, tears
freedom, prison, places killed
when the war paints on, wolf gang amadeus
drop from the red sky, the bombardiers
they all wanna feel what the ice age is
oh you don’t know fear to reappear
light to dark, what’s right to compare
cold as ice good night

Stuck but I’m pacing
stopped but I’m racing
I’m impatient lap for lap the last few times that I’ve been here ain’t much change fear but a long gone year
gone to fast for human ears to hear
your living to slow for me, they making it snow for me
they made me so cold
love me or hate me, or just press the escape key
who will awake thee
beast inside of me now
fiending for a feed now the moon is coming out
hearts in a place where the sun don’t shine
I just fall back let the blind lead blind
man with a still tongue keeps a wise mind
I dont lost mine
can’t read signs
this ain’t the world
society’s cry
give them the oil lets rejoice we nice
pause your next move we roll the dice
whats that about we just growing
but the past repeats itself showing
we’re suppressed but blessed is un-coding
anarchy wrapped in hierarchy
lies to the people eat your still starving
served through a tube you praise, like where are we
same story
toppling buildings
genocide children
ice age killed em
