R. says “My first attempt at a two-parter. I liked the anime movie on Netflix and wanted to capture the sensuality of the first song while picking up the energy of the second song. The flaming Zero plane got eaten by the venue, but it still came off well.”

Go out late at night
Just to see what I can find
Staying in the shadows
Where the light don’t ever shine
Having one way conversations
With the darkness in my mind
He does all the talking
‘Cause I’m the quiet kind
So peel it off
Pull ’em down
Let me see it
Turn around
Just lay back
And let it happen
And remember to breathe
Staying off the radar
Like a bomber on the run
Do another lap around the target
Just for fun
Staying quiet, keeping calm
Until I find the one
Feel the wave wash over me
When the deed is done
So peel it off
Pull ’em down
Let me see it
Turn around
Just lay back
And let it happen
And remember to breathe
Lived a lifetime
On the low path
On the low path
On this low path
On this low path
And just lay back
Let it happen
And remember to breathe
And just lay back
Let it happen
And remember to breathe

Words can stab as deep as night
And cut like a razored thorn
Bitter air and the winds of spite
Like the cold of winter’s scorn
Leaves may fall on sleeping ground
But the wind sweeps them away
Like hurt lovers in the final round
What once was is now decayed
I can’t go on living alone now that you’re gone
A single strand of spider’s weave
Just dancing in the sun
Please don’t turn around and leave
You are my only one
Compromise is made out of peace
But history’s made out of violence
After the war of the worlds has ceased
All that’s left is the deafening silence
I can’t go on living alone now that you’re gone
You done me wrong, so here’s your song
Now sing along, baby
Well, I know you know that you’re killing me
But it’s worth it just to see you smile
Tell ’em to carve my name in the bar stool, baby
You know I’m gonna be here a while
A single strand of spider’s weave
Just dancing in the sun
Please don’t turn around and leave
You are my only one
I can’t go on living alone now that you’re gone
You done me wrong, so here’s your song
Now sing along
