Kwing: Let me show you guys the basics I'm the greatest with all types of cadence Doing victory laps, reaching higher places Y'all been stuck in one spot like an iron maiden Spent a whole century inside a stasis Til I spit one bar and the ice is breaking Get an Indian burn, call it ayurvedic When I torch your whole village like the fire nation I ain't tone it down for a lo-fi Imma go hard for the whole time Got a mind that'll scheme to a higher degree Than the Flying Machines, I'm a goldmine I am the genius that's writing the thesis You're smoked in a ditch from the pyrokinesis I am a beast when I'm throwing a fist That means lights out like a solar eclipse Hook (x2) Kid who stole an airship And landed it on a bearpig They're small, it's big I'm in a tiff I don't want to leave him Zuko: Marvel at the view while I'm standing on deck with Ty Lee On my way to learn how to control our Chi On an island called Kyoshi When my homeland made plans to release a new contraption I willed myself to finally stand and put my goals into action Felt like crap then After rolling around with Badgermoles Azula came to me and relayed a message From a place near the South Pole I stole away into the night and Waited for the sun's light to reach me Mai will probably miss me When I get back it's likely she'll beat me Hook (x2) A kid stole an airship It landed on a bearpig They're small, it's big I'm in a tiff 'cause I don't want to leave him

[Intro] Zuko! What is wrong with you? What's wrong with me?! Your temper is out of control You blow up over every little thing! You're so impatient, and hot-headed and angry! Well, at least I feel something, as opposed to you! You have no passion for anything! You're just a big blah! It's over Zuko We're done There is no hope at all I've got a lot on my mind, it's been so long I wonder what's changed, I wonder how I've changed [Verse 1] Dear sweet Agni, please let me work through these feelings My heart is beating deeply from seeing his golden eyes all over me Face red with blushing, don't want to run into this, rushing Gushing, lusting after he pecked his lips on my cheek, loving His eyes are all scarred and it was jarring to me at first I never dreamed I would write a poem for him Nor believe I'd dedicate a whole verse Sparring with him made my heart burst I cried out when we fell on each other, pulled down like a curse Terse words flew as we both blushed I'd better try to avoid that, keep to fighting on our feet we must His winning streak will eventually turn to dust This feeling is like eye crust in the morning His gunk I'll yearn to bust And later, maybe even love will slowly be forming [Dialogue] Remember this... No matter how things seem to change Never forget who you are You sound like my nephew... Always thinking you need to do things on your own without anyone's support There is nothing wrong with letting people who love you help you [Verse 2] Gods above and below, hear my prayer Does she reciprocate the feelings that I openly bear? Please give me a sign, some symbol to show that she cares Something that tells me I haven't simply been futile With pulling out all of my hair I have no idea if she will return my emotions This weight on my shoulders needs to kick into motion An ocean swirls in my wake as I sit here Waiting for fate to take me away It's almost as if I took a love potion that was tainted with hate Slowly drowning in devotion, this wait is killing me I lay here and breathe deep, meditating thoughtfully I open my eyes and look out over the waters Is that her on the horizon? My fluttering heart falters

I can't hold this day anymore Oh this uncertainty is taking me over I don't know what do with myself anymore My life is not the same, it's not like it was before This strife is killing and throwing me to the floor A knife has been pushed in, no, I won't open the door Go away, I want to stay inside today People ask me to pray, but it won't help me anyway I want to decay, no one can remove any of my pain My brain is dead and all I want is for this grief to finally end I can't hold this day anymore Oh this uncertainty is taking me over Lend a hand, if you dare, help me prepare I don't care Pillows in a tear, there's a fire in the air, beware Bloodletting on a pyre seems like a good idea right now Someone challenge me to an Agni Kai, fight my dying light (pow!) I have nothing to prove to anyone, this life is a zoo But it's still not worth living through it without you My hands are empty, but they're sure as shit not clean Glean from this what you will, death sure looks tempting to me I can't hold this day anymore Oh this uncertainty is taking me over I can't hold this day Oh this uncertainty is taking me over

Verse 1: I respond favorably to sounds of despondent loneliness Only this doesn't compare to living with him Hoping this music helps me through tough times Moping because mostly, I find it hard to write sometimes After I clean this mess, I'll undress Find a nice big bed and take a long rest I want to dress more conservatively than I used to Tears fill my eyes as I think about lost loves or Ones that have died, left, or moved I think he's in cahoots with some knife-throwing slut But I don't care enough I can't hear unless I cover stuff in dust, no lie, 'cuz it's tough to bluff There's a fog cloud of doubt above me, but it isn't new I miss wearing provocative things Like six inch high heeled boots, and sexy red shoes Bridge: Split this worm open and spread his juices over myself Remove the prick and make him lust after me, but it's useless Use this to help me inch closer, slowly towards death Surely losing all my breath while I sit waiting for the end Verse 2: These knots inside me won't come out, like their lodged in my soul I roll like a badgermole, but my shoe lost its sole Suffering seems to be leaving me spent, staring at the ground This life has sent me around the world, turning me upside down Hope is in short supply these days in this town without your crown With a pained expression I sit in the dirt and frown I'm slowly thinking of ways I can end this daze Will he or won't he? I can't truly say, so I figure I shouldn't stay Find my own path, trust in myself and go my own way Work a job without pay, life sure is really fucking grey today Pining after someone who will likely never be mine I have half a mind to jump off the cliffs and commit suicide Coda: Without your warm touch, I'm numb Remove you from my memory and slowly succumb I can't pretend anymore, I'm heading towards death Waiting for the end as I breathe my last breath

Hook: These beat makers struggle crates of breaks When crates upon crates of breaks break I know that you would Truly be amazed At what's become of what you made If you were here You would know how I treasured every day How every single word you spoke Echo's in me like a memory of hope When you were here You could not feel the value that I placed On every look that crossed your face When you were here

Horrible Fate 03:56
lyrics

My sweet prince, last month I felt great, feeding the turtleducks in your lake My knees have continued to shake, my past sins continue to be baked In an oven, I'll never forget the night when we discovered a bun Hun, this time with you has been a lot of fun I hope we see each other later, but I've got to run now How did we meet again? Oh yes, we started out as friends, but how? You taught me how to firebend, I'll never pretend The adoration you gave me after having met Agni pains me in the end I'm sorry, today was full of bliss But it will be the final time that we'll ever get to kiss I'm not amiss in my fate, my feelings have suffered from an earth-shattering quake Fear it? Nah, I get near the edge and peer in to the pool If I could see you again, I'd drop this pen and jump in I can no longer postpone the inevitable Our time was memorable and I hope this hawk is amenable Time is up now, and my death is not preventable A messenger hawk arrived late yesterday So I couldn't read her letter until today It came just before sundown, the guards had to leave it out I began to doubt if I'd ever hear your words in my head If they were coming out of your own mouth They only meet me at night while in my bed Reading from the first line, I felt a twinge of thirst So I inclined a servant to go fetch me some wine first After I slurped some down, I finally got around to reading it I would have pleaded with him to send the hawk to its slumber Had I known of the thoughts I was about to plunder Wrought, I wrenched the hawk away, making it squawk You can't be dead, I must be asleep, dreaming Reading this, and carefully pondering has got me quickly thinking Write up a plot of action, kneel on the royal cot Plead with Agni to save me from what I've lost Spirits, why did it have to be her that you took Please hear this, I beg you, I'm shook

地獄 少女 ft. SkyFromD-Squad 04:04
lyrics

You should know this is not a natural sickness. But that shouldn't stop you from enjoying tea. Wh- what's happening? Your critical decision.... It was such a conflict with your image of yourself that you are now at war within your own mind and body. What's that mean? You are going through a metamorphosis. It will not be a pleasant experience, but when you come out of it, you will be the beautiful prince you were always meant to be. There's a man living at the Eastern Air Temple. He says he's a Guru. What's a Guru? Some kind of poisonous blowfish? No, a spiritual expert. He wants to help me take the next step in the Avatar Journey. Yo! There’s no use for my hand All it does is grab pens then it prints (prince) like I am The chi state? I could probably bend 3 plates Lyrics go berserk like they flying through a cheese grate At the bar, rude boy avatar Moving 60 miles an hour, I don’t have a car Well I do, but I don’t have time to talk about it Police tape politics, we just walk around it I sip tea comfortably though the world’s burning Force a quote down their throat, watch me hurl sermon I metamorphosize into orca eyes Scanning everything below me as the curtains rise Well I guess it’s time for show to begin then Talking to your fat mama and your thin friend Vultures gather as i lather up the microphone On dark nights, in clown makeup, ride a bike alone This planet wasn’t made for us to pasteurize You can’t see the water level cause it’s past your eyes And soon you plummet, like a clogged toilet If you don’t say fuck it and enjoy it And I know it’s easier said than done man Cops on the corner, crooked docs give ya head scans Maybe in the afterlife, maybe deep within us Is the path to true peace, so I seek beginners First we will open the Earth Chakra, located at the base of the spine. It deals with survival, and is blocked by fear. With this electric pencil, I'm not too sentimental I train the mental with this digital pen, but then A train wreck happens faster than I can say aye aye selector Oh Captain, My Captain, when will I see clearly again? My grandmother died before my eyes Her esophagus jammed open with a stent Thankfully there was no stench when she passed away I wanted to cry, watching her body lay prone But the grass with which I used to get high left me low and dry, feeling alone Still and breathless she lied, and yet The state of weeping failed to present itself to I The empty pain I felt inside was not alive I tried to muster water while watching her own eyes close for the final time My brother had left for Portland two years prior So the only ones to watch as she was taken away were me, myself and my mother You are concerned for your survival, but you must surrender those fears. Let your fears flow down the creek. You have opened your Earth Chakra.

Intro: Did you find any way to escape? No, not yet, but don't worry. We'll find a way out soon. I think we're going to have to do this on our own... Verse 1 A long time ago, my uncle told me of his journeys here A world without form, memories all twisted up, mirrored Weird how I am now journeying this space, searching for my beloved Hoping I'm not too late to displace her absence with my love Above me fly the spirits, but I'm only looking for one She is here somewhere, I know it won't be for long I have to locate Agni soon before her spirit is gone Next to where the turtle ducks used to roost in the pond My corporeal body is sitting, I'm meditating in our garden lawn For a while I was just a pawn, studying with Iroh It was difficult at first, that I know Now I rote more than I thought possible, I'm almost unstoppable Victory seems improbable, but I can't give up yet She isn't really dead, her body is lying in my bed I pick up my head and continue to tread "The venomous illness Ready for a brainstorm I'm running this show" Muscle memory comes easily to me, ire is predictable My fire doesn't work here, but I still try to breathe it and thus look despicable I should know that it's futile, But I'm feudal and form my hands into a cone Warm fuel fills my nose, my inner fire sears my bones Nothing reaches my clothes, so in this chill I know I may not make it out alive, but I will make it back home My body lies in wait near his throne, lying on his bed all alone, prone Iroh sits next to me, watching as I atone After speaking with him, Agni orders me to rise off my knees If I am to win, so I'm told, I will have to be better than believed There, through the trees, she sits in wait, but I stifle my need I need to think clearly in order to succeed With a few deep breaths I concentrate My goals set out plain as the days dawn when I wake I summon all the power I can muster and send it towards her The formless shape is asunder, and I make my way under Beneath her knees I see What I've been searching for It's been reaching towards me forever But I was blinded by my grief Slowly I breach the line of trees Her spirit sure is a sore sight for me After these painfully bleak weeks She looks up from her despair and sees me I know it will be alright We're deep in an embrace, she moves my head up Like that fateful night so long ago, her eyes and mine, meet It's blissful I know one day she will be my queen And so We share a deep kiss and go Outro: Today, we welcome the first airbending master in a generation. I couldn't be more proud of my daughter. When the existence of our people was threatened, when the Avatar's life hung in the balance, she never gave up hope. Thanks to her leadership, I see a very bright future. We can follow her example of service and sacrifice. So while she recuperates, the Air Nation will reclaim its nomadic roots and roam the Earth, but unlike our ancestors we will serve people of all nations working wherever there is corruption and discord to restore balance and peace I vow that we will do everything in our power to follow in your footsteps and bring Harmony to the world....

about

A concept EP based on characters from The Last Airbender about the Avatar pining after Prince Zuko. Finding her endeavor fruitless, she decides to commit suicide. After a messenger hawk delivers her suicide note to Zuko, he decides to go rescue her from the Spirit World.

Chronologically, this is after the Hundred Year War (100 AG), in an Alternate Universe where Sozin never chose to ‘spread the Fire Nation’s prosperity with the world’ and invade the Earth Kingdom. The Avatar comes from the Fire Nation and has her sights set on courting Zuko. Zuko has his sights set on her in return.
