o scorpio
music ~ Mali & Raky Sastri; lyrics ~ Mali Sastri ©

oh • oh • oh oh scorpio
oh • oh • oh oh say it ain’t say
oh  • oh • oh say i don’t have to go
oh • oh • oh oh scorpio

tell me • what do you want me for
when i am fire & you are water

oh • oh • oh oh scorpio
my moody, my brooding scorpio
my poor little Wednesday’s child of woe
whose jealous secrets i will never know

scorpio  • you are not who i thought you were
i see now that my envy was my insult

oh • oh • oh oh scorpio
you in 3D in the 8th house, me in 7-O
have you any idea how impossible you are
perhaps you’d be better off with a Leo or a Virgo
or another Scorpio

what do i hang about on Pluto for?
i will not let your water put out my fire!

music & lyrics  ~ mali sastri ©

elfin airy ~ elfin arrietty
you are my saffron girl
my little marshmallow ~ hello runt
coconut jewel

elfin airy ~ elfin arrietty
i miss your two faces
the fragile timid invalid
the roughneck who rips things to pieces

elfin airy ~ elfin arrietty
who would have thought that i
could learn so much about love
from a little white dog

malachite
music & lyrics ~ Mali Sastri ©

dream life flash ~ before my eyes
blank canvas ~ say what you want
look at this game ~ i can’t stop playing
i can’t stop ~ throwing away

once it was ~ vivid colour
a forward motion ~ real drama
now i visit my personal museum ~ personal museum

i wish i was ~ a work of art
make believe this life’s walking on air
it’s not the life ~ i wanted to live
i wanted to live ~ it takes so much strength

& i wish i was ~ a work of art
a work of art ~ takes so much strength

come
music & lyrics ~ mali sastri

i’m in the dark ~ i only want to come
i feel the spark ~ i only want to run
i have no choice ~ i only can obey
i hear the voice ~ say

i have regressed ~ given up given in
but i must confess ~ i do love my prison
i still believe ~ herein lies my only salvation
in the tune of this elaborate game ~ it goes

and don’t i know ~ it’s all a false defense
this filling up ~ emptiness w/ emptiness
but i am compelled ~ to carry on this twisted love affair
with myself

i’m in the dark ~ i only want to come
i feel the spark ~ and what we had is gone
but that’s okay ~ ‘cuz i’ve found where i belong
alone singing this song

petaluma
music & lyrics ~ mali sastri ©
original musical idea ~ raky sastri

what is this ~ silver lining
i can see do deep inside
a mistake ~ undermining
all i hurt so hard for

& i can’t complain ~ just walk away

oh the sweet ~ sweet treats
didn’t know were in store for me
now must i ~ decline
maybe i am just not ready ~ hey

& i can’t complain ~ if you walk away
how could i complain ~ just walk away

didn’t dare to hope ~ didn’t dare to dream
oh but i did ~ now where have i been?

so i can’t complain
no i can’t complain

lady grey
music & lyrics ~ mali sastri ©

i have a story ~ maybe i should tell
i know this story ~ know it only too well
can’t seem to write myself out of this tragedy
perhaps it will be able to shed light on me

the world it rushes ~ but it’s no use
i tried to turn around but it already let loose
hold on now Sailor ~ now are you able?
this ship is going down & it will take you with it

and what of magic ~ i thought we could share
but this magic’s damaged ~ i see damage everywhere
eyes i don’t want are on me
eyes i want look away
this life it happens ~ i have little say

don’t how to follow ~ don’t how to lead
don’t what i say cuz i never say what i mean
i have no power ~ just a helpless bystander
this ship is going down & i will take you with me

and so this is the way it’s always been
sometimes i wish i was still a ~
cuz woman don’t fit me ~ too tight too baggy
don’t think i’ll ever feel comfortable in this skin

i’ve had enough ~ of this sex stuff
i’ll watch the carnival go by, thank you very much
& i’ll go running ~ i’ll feel it humming
this little sense of power
or less
powerlessness

song of the spheres
music & lyrics ~ Mali Sastri ©

calliope ~ melpomene ~ terpsichore ~ urania ~ clio
erato ~ euterpe ~ thalia ~ polyhymnia

my whirling dervish ~ inspire
i’d love to lighten your load

alchemical marriage ~ alchemical
sweet hallelujah

la la la la la ~ hermaphrodite
opposing  energies fight
opposing energies unite

demigod
music & lyrics ~ Mali Sastri ©

i just meditated but my mind was a wanderer     quick  anxious   i lost it

i seem to not have been 18 long enough
if i’d had a few more months surely i’d have grown up
but time doesn’t wait for late bloomers you see
& i have so much ground to make up
i have so much ground to make up

how i would’ve loved to hold your head in my lap
nova scotia can’t approach you can’t turn my back
& i would have loved you like nobody else
could ever possibly, sebastian
could ever possibly, sebastian  sebastian

& i would have come w/ a gun to your house
& when you open the door take myself out
how terrifying for a girl of 18
cut up my arms pretty tattoos
cut up my arms pretty tattoos tattoos

& the space between us   the space between us
the space around you    the space around you

i hope you find someone worthy of your love    it’s flattering
i hope you find someone worthy of love    it’s flattering

spiral staircase
music ~ Jaggery, lyrics ~ Mali Sastri ©

circles i paint
i’m drawing this spinning
wander back to the same place
walk ~ spiral staircase

treading ~ orbiting
salt water ~ preparate
can’t worry ~ can’t wait
spinning wildly towards completion

it’s a lot to ask
of you to walk next
to me while i walk my spiral staircase
while i walk my spiral staircase
while i walk my spiral staircase

music ~ Raky Sastri, lyrics ~ Mali Sastri ©

i said it very clear
i won’t be staying here
he said it very plain
i’ll never feel the same

i’m coming to my senses
i’m breaking the silences
i’m looking across the sea

i said it very strong
i won’t be staying long
he said it very small
but i love you most of all

you never showed that to me
not in a way i could see
so now i have to move on

he said it very shy
there’s not a reason why
he says it late at night
when i’m too weak to fight

wanted to stay innocent
never plan what i wanted
but now i know what i want not

now we both feel like refuse
of your perpetual confuse
sometime i’ll have to say no
