My first attempt at making a video. Although I hate having my photograph taken, somehow video cameras are less intimidating.
At any rate, this is another song about the Pine Fairy, a fairy on his way to becoming a magician. Being of a piney nature, he is prone to piercing, torturous bouts of grief. However, in the end, these feelings become the key to his power, lifting him above the humdrum of life and compelling him to seek out those things which are truly eternal.
The Pine Fairy grieves the death of some Pine Trees that were like family to him.
Sparks fly from the blade in my sword
Long ago your silver heart was all I could afford.
Clouds grow so grey and extend.
Long ago it seemed to me this time would never end.
Burned by the setting sun
I stood there and I watched you fall one by one.
Angels cry they fill the sky with fire
I know there must be a flame that comes from someplace higher.
White clouds come to fill the sky with rain
Oh my eyes I saw them fall their bodies ripped away.
Sparks shine from the wine in my cup
Poison me a little I can’t hold my shoulders up.
Gold shines from the cup in my hand
The end had come already but we did not understand.
Roll clouds through my mind
Carry me forever to another time.
Angels cry they fill the sky with fire
I know there must be a flame that comes from someplace higher.
White clouds come to fill the sky with rain
Oh my eyes I saw them fall their bodies ripped away.
Fire pain in my heart in my chest
Friends of mine, freshest ones, I knew you the best.
Fire pain in my brain in my mind
We walked almost forever till we reached the end of time.
Where you fell one by one
Burning gold you sparkled in the setting sun.
Angels cry they fill the sky with fire
I know there must be a flame that comes from someplace higher.
White clouds come to fill the sky with rain
Oh my eyes I saw them fall their bodies ripped away.

I was intending for this song to be the last of my “Pathetiques-” those songs which express the most pathetic slice of my soul. Therefore, I took some time off from writing in the hopes of tapping into a more vigorous part of myself.
But since I spent that time painting my apartment pink and learning the daintiest of sciences, chemistry, it may be that my descent into patheticness is just beginning.

Handkerchief rests like a weight on my chest, I can’t breath, oh no
I knew from the start the things that come will go
You say you love me, but love is a word, tra la la, I know
Life floods when it comes and where it goes it goes
Restrain, I can’t breath, mind tries focusing
But what is there on which I can rely
I don’t feel love, I don’t feel real
Please don’t let them know how I feel.
Handkerchief lies like a weight on my eyes, I can’t see, oh no
I’ll come when you say come and where you go I’ll go
Hand on my chest, you gotta breath in and you must let go
But even when I gasp and wheeze the air will never flow
Faces in a blur, cold hearts, I am sure
Though their hands reach through the fog, I will demure
I don’t feel love, I don’t feel real
Please don’t let them know how I feel.
Smile girl, take your place
You knew life was a masquerade
Take a deep breath, then resume your place.
Everyone said the spring would arrive, so just wait through pain
I sat on the bench and waited for the rain
Scent of the pine, scent of the drops which on the needles lie
I waited for the thing on which I could rely
Silence is that you? Silver and golden too
Fallen on the forest floor, I walked all over you
I don’t feel love, I don’t feel real
Please don’t let them know how I feel.
