Queendom of Contentment

(Erika Poling)

How I created the song/lyrics: The first verse starts out lower and works it's way up to a soprano C or higher (one-sided). The pre-chorus is higher pitched also. But then, the chorus switches to a melody similar to "Heavy Cross," by the band Gossip. The second verse is similar in pitch (high) to the second part of the first verse; but the second part of the second verse (starting with "Oh, my violet sky") is a lower pitch like the first part of the first verse. I think incorporating a "Billie Eilish" whisper style with a lower, stronger, and harder style-- it would really bring out the meaning of the song and make it more artistic.

[Verse 1]

I wanna see into a crystal ball
And see everything, wish I could control it all 
Hold the planets by the strings 
So for once, the world won’t control me
Mmmmmmm hmmmmmm
Mmmmmmm hmmmmmm

I live in my queendom of contentment 
And I locked myself in my heart 
To an idea that’s cemented 
That all I’ll ever feel…
All I’ve ever known…
All I’ve ever been shown…
Is a love unrequited
The pain of something one-sided 

[Pre-chorus]

We both scream I, I, I, and oh, oh, oh, oh,
And ah, ah, ah, I hated to watch you go 
To my, my, my , to my demise
What came first were the butterflies
And then they slowly turned to moths 
When we burned our separate ways 
Leaving holes in our hearts,
Both ablazed 

[Chorus]

The lights are out, but I somehow
Found the words, to say, aloud
That were buried deep, in the back of my mouth 
And they were hard to reach 
But I spit them so they’d sound 
Like flames that end, in ashes of your name 
Because I know, you don’t feel fire the same 

We both scream I, I, I, I, and Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, 
And Ah, Ah, Ah, Ah, I hated to watch you go 
To my, my, my, to my demise
What came first were the butterflies
And then they slowly turned to moths 
When we burned our separate ways 
Leaving holes in our hearts, both ablazed

[Verse 2] 

The galaxy of our hearts hold beautiful explosions 
Of love stars who’s gravity divided them a part 
And burst them open, to expose my emotions 
But the billions came together, just to be broken 
Like you and I, the feelings are a supernova 

Oh, my violet sky, is shrinking right now 
I’m walking around, and I don’t know how 
Because, the lights are out, oh, I see it now
My universe is a lonely world, and the real one is too
It looks that way without you 

[Chorus]

The lights are out, but I somehow
Found the words, to say, aloud
That were buried deep, in the back of my mouth 
And they were hard to reach 
But I spit them so they’d sound 
Like flames that end, in ashes of your name 
Because I know, you don’t feel fire the same 

We both scream I, I, I, I, and Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, 
And Ah, Ah, Ah, Ah, I hated to watch you go 
To my, my, my, to my demise
What came first were the butterflies
And then they slowly turned to moths 
When we burned our separate ways 
Leaving holes in our hearts, both ablazed
