To: the selfish vagabond & the Lady of the Moon

I’m genuinely happy to see you both doing so well.

Remember, this is art.

This is a fantasy.

This is a story.

Don’t get it twisted.

Also I genuinely hope I never, ever run into you for the rest of my life.

✌🏻

“Happy For You” by Dua Lipa

Cover by Smashing Ivory

[smashingivory]

To: the void

when religion and heartbreak get twisted

The messy truth of it all…

No one is innocent.

No one is pure.

“NDA” by Billie Eilish

Cover by Smashing Ivory

To: the selfish vagabond

Happy Birthday.

Glad to know you’re doing well.

I wrote this song because all those wistful late nights that felt so poetic to my teenage heart were actually just you being the foul jackass who played me for a fool.

I’m back, for better or for worse…

“Saintly Rows” by Dear and the Headlights

Cover by Smashing Ivory

[smashingivory]

To: the Lady of the Moon,

I replay that last drive away from you over and over again.

I swear, I didn’t know it would be the end.

But in the weeks that followed,

you sewed your own demise.

And now, I can never turn back.

“No Goodbyes” by Dua Lipa

Cover by Smashing Ivory

[smashingivory]

To: the Lady of the Moon (and the others involved)

Make me the villain.

Watch me rise.

Glory, mine.

LYRICS

Wind biting at your lip

Pet me backward with your fingertip

Black cat sleeping in the window

Moon glow through the trees

Death of summertime

Something strange in the shadows

Fragrant melancholy

Smoke rise beneath the moon

Darkness folds in soon

Season of suffering

Fields of decay

Won’t you stay till the sunflowers die

Wasn’t ready for goodbye

[smashingivory]

To: the Selfish Vagabond

Listen to the full “And I’ll Sleep | Demo Version” on my YouTube Channel.

LYRICS

Distant looks in our up close faces

Eliminate all the secret traces

Of any happy history

And the secret stairs that led to our dancing

Reminded me of a hidden chance we had

To escape our melancholy

But I sleep knowing you’re there

Yeah I sleep knowing you’re there

[smashingivory]

To: the Lady of the Moon

well Good Luck, Babe!
