1. Faded Stars
The sun was shining in my eyes and gave me all the happiness I needed.
I spent all my time with the sun and only with him
I forgot about the moon
Forgot about the stars
I didn't even think about that one planet that I loved so hard.
My eyes were only there for the sun.
The sun and only him.
Now the sun is gone and the stars won't take me back.
I'm hiding in the sun's darkness.
Nowhere to go
because everyone left
and I feel alone
2. The Signs
the first ones weren't clear
but maybe I just didn't realize that it was here
time went by and the longer it took
the more obvious it was
I wasn't like the others
my mind was filled with thoughts
I'm different
I can see it
I have been feeling it for a while
signs of feelings
that shouldn't be here
atleast that's what they told me
and maybe that's not fair
3. Pathway To Love
4. Dumping Myself
5. Rainbow Moon
And then it was there.
It came in like a rainbow in the sky
like a butterfly finding his flower
like the stars touching the moon
like a ring slipping around your finger
it was there
and it would never go away again
never and never
the feeling crawled into my entire body
every nerve, every bone
the smallest tip of my fingers
I could feel it everywhere.
A joyful scream echoed through the building
'I love myself'
and with those words everything was said…
6. Hateful Yells
I'm walking on the clouds with my love
until thunder comes and ruins all the good
Clouds turn gray and start making sounds
it keeps getting worse and I don't know for how long
i try to walk further but my body is frozen
the thunder keeps yelling, keeps hating and shaking
until i fall through
my and my love fall from the clouds
down in the darkness of our thoughts
Do we deserve to be hated? Just because we love?
the hateful yells fill my mind while i try to get over it
at the end of the road is a rainbow
we just have to get through this storm
7. Just Put It In?
8. My Place
9. Switching Teams
Why did I have to be on team b?
I'm not complaining but it would have been easier
all the tears, all the smiles, all the thoughts
they wouldn't have been there
I prayed to God to switch themes
I prayed to God 'why am I on team b?'
but now I will have to move on
Team b is my home, my team, my group
and I can't change
so i spread my wings and fly real high
because yes i'm gay
but why?
