A while ago I posted two songs, Aang's and Katara's, on a song thread, and last night I couldn't get these lyrics for Toph out of my head, so in addition to Aang's "Arrows" and Katara's "Make-Believe", I wrote Toph's "See Me" and posted it here.
Umm here they go.
PS: Sorry if the songs' ships don't go with your desired ships. I just call 'em like I see them.
Arrows:
I think I was happy,
But I'm not so sure,
But I know when they told
Me I'm the one, I'm the cure,
That everyone stopped caring
About what I wanted,
Maybe that was the lure,
That led me to freedom,
But my heart froze that night.
Try as I might, though, I just can't feel pure.
Because arrows on my head
Just can't lead the way
When I'm turning around
When the past wants to stay
When the world wants me to be
Someone I'm not,
When the battles kept going,
When battles were fought,
But I just cannot look back,
I just gotta say,
Just follow those arrows home.
I knew she was the one,
From the moment we'd sled,
The way that she told me,
The way that she said,
That I can't turn around
And look at things caused
When I fled.
Did I imagine?
I thought that we kissed,
But there's mist swirling thickly around in my head.
Because arrows on my head
Just can't lead the way
When I'm turning around
When the past wants to stay
When she's just can't see,
Because she's just so blind,
It just gets deeper,
But I can't rewind,
But I just cannot look back,
I just gotta say,
Just follow those arrows home.
I've flown to the poles across the world,
To be the great savior, destroy the Fire Lord,
It's not gonna get me to where I want to be,
I'm just so distracted I just cannot not see,
Because arrows on my head
Just can't lead the way
When I'm turning around
When the past wants to stay
When I'm thinking of me,
Not what's best for the earth,
I've been doomed to be selfless,
Since my own birth,
But I just cannot look back,
I just gotta say,
Just follow those arrows home.
Everyone just might get what they want
If I could
Just follow those arrows home.
Out of the three, that one's probably my least favorite. The next one's a little bit??emo so bear with me, folks.
Make-Believe
I'm the one who's got her head on right,
The one who never cries at night,
The one who's never feels a pain,
But my heart is an ark in a soul of pure rain,
and
I just don't know what to believe anymore,
I've lost all emotions, what is a heart good for?
My rocks are just crumbling, can't find one to hold,
I'm a rock myself, but in me there's no gold.
My mind is sent reeling,
Don't know what I'm feeling,
Do I grieve?
Is it just make-believe?
My father is fighting, my mother is gone,
The group leans on me so I have to be strong,
The courageous and rebel I've put far away,
I'm the great lighthouse, but I'm not even at bay,
'Cause
I just don't know what to believe anymore,
I've lost all emotions, what is a heart good for?
One too many times I've been lifted, let down,
Then soul just gets deafer, I can't hear a sound.
My mind is sent reeling,
Don't know what I'm feeling,
Do I grieve?
Is it just make-believe?
Do I imagine the way he looks me,
I don't think I dare to pull him in from the sea,
My mother told me to take care of what's dear,
But now look where that got me, why can't I just hear,
I just don't know what to believe anymore,
I've lost all emotions, what is a heart good for?
If love really is brightest in the dark,
Then my heart could be healed, he could leave a mark.
My mind is sent reeling,
Don't know what I'm feeling,
Dare I stall?
Would I fall?
Would he leave?
Or is it just make-believe?
This next one might be my favorite. I'm not sure as I haven't written it yet.
Ok here:
See Me
Oh they were keeping me in a cave,
The world's a danger, harsh and grave.
The acted like they knew everything, save,
That I could hold my own.
Well I'm not that girl, the one that bends,
I ran away to the furthest ends,
I ran away with my closest friends,
So why do I feel so alone?
I'm blind, I'm blind,
But I can see just fine,
That they're the ones that can't see.
It's made me bold but I feel so cold,
'Cuz no one will hold on to me!
It's made me unkind, but I can't rewind,
So keep in mind my plea.
'Cuz though I'm blind,
I can see just fine
That they're the ones that can't see...
See me.
My feet are planted, I'm ready to fight,
But my roots are thinning, who knows if I'm right?
Can someone please just shed some light,
On just what I can do?
It's crystal clear that I'm clear them.
An eternally thin and invisible gem.
I've got no roots and I've got no stem,
And nobody to turn to!
Just somebody show me who!
I'm blind, I'm blind,
But I can see just fine,
That they're the ones that can't see.
It's made me strong, but I wish I was wrong,
To think they won't hold long to me.
It's made me unkind, but I can't rewind,
So keep in mind my plea.
'Cuz though I'm blind,
I can see just fine
That they're the ones that can't see...
See me.
The sun has set and the day is done,
My importance can be seen as the sun.
It just can't be true that I'm the one
Who just can't seem to be!
I'm blind, I'm blind,
But I can see just fine,
That they're the ones that can't see.
It's made me bold but I feel so cold,
'Cuz no one will hold on to me!
It's made me unkind, but I can't rewind,
So keep in mind my plea.
It's made me strong, but I wish I was wrong,
To think they won't hold long to me.
I just cannot find why I'd be the kind,
Who'd be sending out her plea.
'Cuz though I'm blind,
I can see just fine
That they're the ones that can't see...
See me!
See me...
