    SOUNDTRACK: All Over You by Live & Be There by Seafret

    Soundtrack to Monstrous: Soul Eater by Lily Mayne

    All Over You by Live for a book a monster and a human who fell in love and the evil powers that deemed their union an abomination

    our love is like water
    pinned down and abused for being strange
    our love is no other
    than me alone for me all day
    our love is like water/angels pinned down and abused

    all over you, all over me
    the sun, the fields, the sky
    Iโ€™ve often tried to hold
    the sea the sun, the fields, the tide

    Soundtrack to Monstrous: Edin by Lily Mayne

    Be There by Seafret for a book about a soldier who lost everything and the monster who gave him everything he could ever want

    I lost everything
    I threw myself in and you took me
    Where no one was there

    Well you can take what you need
    Take the air that I breathe
    And Iโ€™ll give away all that I own
    Whatever I lose
    Is put back by you in a way
    That youโ€™ll never know

    our love is like water
    pinned down and abused for being strange
    our love is no other
    than me alone for me all day
    our love is like water/angels pinned down and abused

    all over you, all over me
    the sun, the fields, the sky
    I’ve often tried to hold
    the sea the sun, the fields, the tide
    pay me now,
    lay me down

    You’ve got me surrounded
    It feels like I’m drowning
    And I don’t want to come up for air
    I lost everything
    I threw myself in and you took me
    Where no one was there

    Well you can take what you need
    Take the air that I breathe
    And I’ll give away all that I own
    Whatever I lose
    Is put back by you in a way
    That you’ll never know

    ‘Cause I can’t be without you

    I‘ll be there when you need me most
    I’ll be there if you’re ever alone
    Together, we can grow old
    I can’t leave you
    I can’t leave you, no

    There’s no air around me
    When we get this close
    But there’s no where I want to go
    You keep it a secret
    If you feel the same
    And leave me dying to know

    ‘Cause I can’t be without you

    I’ll be there when you need me most
    I’ll be there if you’re ever alone
    Together, we can grow old
    I can’t leave you
    I can’t leave you

    You’re my way out
    You’re my way through
    And I can’t, I can’t
    Be without you
    You’re my way out
    You’re my way through
    And I can’t be without you

    So be there when I need you most
    Be there, whenever I’m alone
    Together, will we grow old
    I can’t leave you
    I can’t leave you

    I’ll be there when you need me most
    I’ll be there if you’re ever alone
    Together, we can grow old
    I can’t leave you
    I can’t leave you, no

As an adult, he fell in love with his niece’s teacher.

    optimism,
    optimism perished from the face of my earth
    and then you came along, came along and swept me away,
    she kissed me, as we stood on the edge,
    the night made the day as we made for the bridge
    it started raining hard, and i saw we may live to regret

    no i never really understood
    no i never really understood why,
    because i’ve never been given,
    never been given two tries,
    no i never really understood,
    understood why…

    pessimism,
    pessimism perished from the face of my earth,
    and then you came along, came along and swept me away,
    did you miss me? did you miss me as we walked
    through the pain, attached the chain so you could
    see me again
    i started asking myself, did i teach you right?

    no i never really understood
    no i never really understood why,
    because i’ve never been given,
    never been given two tries,
    no i never really understood,
    understood why…

    understood why…
    you came to me, you broke the bonds,
    you set me free
    and then the love that you promised me
    came a tumblin’ tumblin’ tumblin’ down
    into my hands…

    no i never really understood
    no i never really understood why,
    because i’ve never been given,
    never been given two tries,
    no i never really understood,
    understood why…

    so teacher teach me…
