#it wouldn't hold attention for a 4 minute video lol

[facedock]

okay so I haven't generated any more AI songs since I said I wouldn't, but I never did post some of the other ones I'd already made and this one is actually one of my favorites 'cause imo it just nailed the wistfulness and anxiety and EMOSHUN (it's about the Yearning 😭), so... here it is.

inspired by how many times Face and Murdock have probably shared a room during jobs and been left to face their Feelings in the middle of the night. it's supposed to be from Face's POV (ft. ye olde internalized homophobia, my beloved) but depending on how you headcanon Murdock's own struggle with his Feelings ig it could go either way, maybe they're even both thinkin' the same thoughts while sleeping right across from each other and not talking about it 'cause they're scaredybabies)

lyrics under the cut (partially generated, partially written by me... honestly I forget which parts were purely AI-generated lol but I know for sure that I wrote both of the bridges and the choruses/outro, and definitely tweaked some of the verses)

[Verse 1] Sharing a motel tonight Turn my back to you in spite Fear creeps in with twilight's cue I'm afraid to love you [Verse 2] Secret that would shake your core Hold my heart behind a door Shame so deep I can't break through I'm afraid to love you [Chorus] I already do I already do I'm sorry it's true But I already do Love you [Verse 3] Silent tears in morning light Dreams that fade at dawn's first sight Hope is here but out of view I'm afraid to love you [Verse 4] Every word I dare not say Keeping my true heart at bay I'd propose a rendezvous But I'm afraid to love you [Chorus] I already do I already do Fear keeps me from you But I already do Love you [Bridge 1] Playing it straight is a losing game When you've got a heart that can't be tamed And I know it's wrong, but what can I say?* After all these years the feeling won't go away [Chorus] I already do I already do I'm sorry it's true But I already do [Bridge 2] (Just say you'll stay) If you knew I felt it (Just say you'll stay) I'm shaking my darling please (Just say you'll stay) Don't leave you're all I need (Just say you'll stay) Just say you'll stay 'Cause I ain't going nowhere, babe [Chorus/Outro] I already do I already do I'm so scared to tell you But I already do Oh, I already do I hope you don't mind if I say it 'Cause I tell you it's true There's no way 'round it, babe I tell you I already do I already do Yeah, I already do I already love you

*Internalized homophobia's words, not mine. Obligatory "obviously there's nothing wrong with queer love" statement. 😅
