reserve with songs that would play at a circus
more specifically
das karoussel (the carousel)hhh do not steal please q w q
- named
erebus- plays his music to look for a girl he used to know
- he made a mistake and hurt her, losing the person he loved most
- they used to go to the circus together, so he plays the circus music that used to play there in the hopes that she will hear it and follow, realizing it's him searching for her for all of the years
- never seems to find her, no matter how much he searches
- his happy music casts illusions of the mind (seems overly happy at first, luring you in but as soon as he realizes you're not the person he is looking for it becomes filled with sorrowful notes)
- playing music is the only true way he expresses his true emotions, hasn't spoken to anyone since he was a child because he is saving his voice for her ears alone to hear the words "I'm sorry"
- he plays different songs for different emotions other than the main song he plays to lure people in (
this song when he is alone reminiscing the memories he and the girl had together and is thinking about finding her (full song
here), etc)

Certain words have piercing strength; it seems one or two stabbed at you
As you laid down in pain, a liquid flowed; watching your fresh wound bleed, we figured we could call it love
A lack of sympathy, deficiency; getting together, but just physically
Although I'm stuck with you, we, us two, are perhaps more alike than I once knew
"But even still, I love..." Me? Ha!
Isn't it fine to say that we are loved?
To be bound, so the world may never but touch
Isn't this, too, just fate, and nothing more?
Fade away, fade away, I say to a love...
By the time the end has come, I'm so bored of you, fed up too
Is it for love or wants? We just can't say, and yet still you release; what should be done?
A lack of sympathy, deficiency; getting together, but just physically
Although I'm stuck with you, we, us two, are perhaps more alike than I once knew
But even still, it's fine, and so...
This situation, would you call it love?
Clinging tight, struggling on, toward yet unknown goals...
Isn't it fine to kill those things for good?
If it's me that you hate with all of your being...
Isn't it fine to say that we are loved?
To be bound, so the world may never but touch
Isn't this, too, just fate, and nothing more?
Fade away, fade away, I say to our love...

I am sewn together
Oh so completely
But darkness swept over me
So very discreetly
I can hear your voice
Cries inside my head
This burden weighs upon me
Don't want to get out of bed
Shifting gray skies
Through the crashing rain
Remembering your love
Love shattered into pain
Doors left unlocked
No secrets held behind
But leaving secrets of my own
For only you to find
Since the day you forsake me
Your last words haunt me
Pleading me to smile
As if you really want me
Whispering disease
Breathe it in the air
Begging me surrender
More than I can bare
Numb is my sleep
Until you control my dreams
And when I wake up
I can still hear your screams
Search for serenity
Trapped behind this wall
Though no matter what I do
The innocent always fall
And when all you wanted
Was just some kind of control
They left you defected
Incomplete, void of soul
Desperate for someone
To notice or to care
You reach out your hand
But no one is there
Exhausted, my eyes
Wander off into the distance
Longing if I could
Take back my existence
Impossible, I know
So I lose myself instead
My mind is at ease
My heart filled with dread.
