"Down the Road"
Took a walk down the road since last winter.
It's been a while since I saw the sights.
Remembering, it stings just like a splinter,
The place you and I spent the night.
And I feel like this is just an answer,
A reason to justify my own truth.
But the feelings linger like a cancer,
And the peace heals me and it soothes.

Here I go down the road towards wherever;
Just a vagabond dropped upon the earth.
Though I swore that we'd be here forever,
We grew apart, broken by new birth.
So I held out hope for a reunion,
Something to look towards in my day;
Though you forsook your own communion,
I've been longing to chase this thing away.

Down the road, past the bar, near the old gym,
Recalling all our faults and petty fights .
I remember walking in on you and him,
And the pain as you slowly turned on the lights.
Now the choice, here today, is for tomorrow,
Something to give your mind a try.
Though I cannot erase your token sorrow,
Know that with me you'll never cry.

So here I go, down the road, to my destiny,
Knowing the trials that like ahead.
But the darkness won't get the best of me;
I won't come back to you dead.
Every footstep that echoes off the pavement
Is a reminder of what I know is true.
Together, we can throw off our enslavement;
Together, I am strong if I'm with you.

'Come Back'

It wasn't too long ago when you made me surrender,
You showered me with gifts,
You showed me a love so sweet and tender,
But look at us now,
Gotta get past this somehow,
Just wanna scream it out loud,
That I can't take this pain anymore,
Sick and tired of crying on the floor,
Looking through pictures of when we were happy,
Put our song in repeat,
Wishin that you'd come back to me,
Instead I'm sittin here,
Drinking red wine,
Remembering all the good times,

Can't help but think about the dreams we shared,
When I thought you cared,
When I thought that you and me, could be,
(Come back, come back, come back to me)
Thinkin of the day we'd get married,
The white dress I'd wear,
The vows we'd swear,
A promise to share our love for all eternity,
Baby please just come back to me,
(Come back, come back, come back to me)

Love can be such a fickle thing,
But I swear with all my heart that I'd do anything,
To have you by my side,
Without you I can't survive,
You're the only one for me to lean on,
So how am I supposed to go on,
When times get rough,
All the times that I'll need your love,
To lift me up,
So come back and hold me close,
Because God only knows,
That I need your arms around me tight,
For everything to be alright,

Can't help but think about the dreams we shared,
When I thought you cared,
When I thought that you and me, could be,
(Come back, come back, come back to me)
Thinkin of the day we'd get married,
The white dress I'd wear,
The vows we'd swear,
A promise to share our love for all eternity,
Baby please just come back to me,
(Come back, come back, come back to me)

Can't help but think about the dreams we shared,
When I thought you cared,
When I thought that you and me, could be,
(Come back, come back, come back to me)
Thinkin of the day we'd get married,
The white dress I'd wear,
The vows we'd swear,
A promise to share our love for all eternity,
Baby please just come back to me,
(Come back, come back, come back to me)

Beautiful, Trish.

"Mirror"
I stare at my own reflection in a mirror's glass,
Looking for so long as the hours slowly pass.
Who's face is that, coldy staring back at me?
Who's eyes are those, so blinded that they can't see?
You fell in love with a mirror, and nothing more,
And I hate that face; it's image I forever abhore.
I want to be something real for you,
Something firm and something that's true,
And not some visage behind a mask,
Unable to measure up to the task.
I want to be able to be who I really am,
But I fear that you may never understand
Why I always try to act the way that I do,
But all I want is to be forever close to you.
You fell in love with a smile, a pretty face,
And you never realized just how out-of-place
All my antics were, and all my lies
Slowly built up till I almost burst inside.
I don't even know who I am anymore;
I don't even know what I was dying for.
I wonder, which do you love most sincere,
The face in the mirror or the one that's here?
I know the difference between my own fantasy,
But can you handle the cold, harsh reality?
I don't want to be afraid to be myself with you,
But the person you love you never really knew,
So I stare at that stranger in the mirror,
Wishing that face had never dawn near her.

"My Suicide"
My blood runs cold,
And my vision blurs.
I feel so damn old
And nothing stirs.
I wanted so much
To be your light.
I longed for your touch
In my darkest night.
But I wasn't so tough,
I was too weak for you.
I wasn't good enough,
So I did what I had to.
I never thought I
Would be standing today.
You were the reason why
I managed to live anyway.
Without you, I don't work,
I fall apart and I break.
You rid me of so much hurt,
But was never for my sake.
I hear the sound
Of nothing in my ears.
I fall to the ground,
Plagued by great fears.
I had nothing to gain,
And I had nothing to lose.
To put an end to my pain,
I realized I had to choose.
I made my only choice,
The only one left to me.
In my gasping voice,
I recall how you knew me.
I was a stranger to you,
A voice of the past,
Someone who pulled through
When you were dead last.
I wanted to believe
That I belonged on this earth,
And that you wouldn't leave
Because I held some worth.
But now my dreams
Are all so dark and dead,
And now it seems,
Like I'll follow in their stead.
All the sadness I bring,
I offer up my apology.
I'll only ask you one thing:
Please don't ever forget me.

You know what we should do? I saw this at some other site; rate the above user's song(s). For 'My Suicide', 8/10. A little too dark for me, I guess, but still good nonetheless.

COLOSSAL OGRE JOCK
There's a relic floating around
He has it, I think I do.
You don't, I can tell.
I see no difference.

Drifting with trends, that's all everybody does.
Why do they like to bore themselves?
Obviously, I see through it more than you.
I think I always have.

A lotta overrate fad be gone from me (some garble that will be the bridge in the song and sung really fast)

I don't fit, I don't want to.
Except for this group.
They're holding the relic
How about you?

(If you look at it hard enough, the 'relic' isn't used in a literal sense; the 'relic' in this case is the ability to be yourself, and to be an individual.)

'Turned Into Love'

That August night when you took your hand mine,
I think about it, I think about it all the time,
I never knew that, that would be,
The moment my life would change for all eternity,
I never thought then,
What I know now,
Never woulda believed that you were right for me,
You kissed me wrong,
You talked on and on,
But somehow,
Something I never could've dreamed of,
Turned into love,
(Turned into love, yes it turned into love)

You took me places I've never seen before,
You walked out in front of me and opened the door,
You held me close and said everything right,
And later that night,
Somehow I began to see everything that we could be,
But still I had doubts,
My mind was so filled with storm clouds,
But you pushed the shadows away,
You proved to me that you were here to stay,
And something I never could've dreamed of,
Turned into love,
(Turned into love, yes it turned into love)

Every day you make my dreams come true,
Can't imagine my life without you,
And to think I almost could've lost it all,
If you only knew how I thought of you,
How I was untrue to you,
But none of that matters anymore,
Because you've shown me a love I've never known before,
And I know that you're the one,
I thank God, because you're a gift from above,
Thank God this turned into love.

"Turned Into Love" gets a 7/10 from me...

I just copy and pasted a bunch of songs from my buddy profile on AIM. So if there are songs that I already posted, sorry 'bout that, but I think these are some of my better ones, or better than what I'm writing now anyway (just look at 'Card/Hat Trick', that SUCKED!).

LOW ENERGY BATTERIES (this one should be obvious)
Why do they ignore the poor?
Then spoil the greedy and concieted?
Cloud full of thoughts to sort
Must write them down on paper

But what you don't realize is that no one realized
Don't neglect everyone in sight
Just because someone looks easy on the eyes
That's no reason to take care of them.

I guess I'm talking to my wall
Why did the cieling answer though?

BATTLE, BATTLE!(even I don't know what this means, it's just words thrown together, basically.)
You finally reached your breaking point
Why do we think they're legends?
Oh, but it's time for your tea
Oh, man, just leave it alone
But our room is full
Don't be so pitiful
I got a load of pens
And ideas, and thoughts to write.
But no paper.

ANTHILL TO MOUNTAIN (jealousy and denying that you're jealous)
Go ahead and get your fill
Not you haven't gotten it before
Why must I starve?
Maybe I'm being a whiner.

So what?
Does it look like I care?
I want to get this goal
And all the words don't affect me.

Maybe I don't care
But it comes outta nowhere

It's just a nuiscance I guess
Oh, no! It's another way to depression!
I know plenty of them
I'm going through it right now

I'm not sure if I should rate all three or not.

"Man and Myth"
In the movies, the hero gets the girl,
He fights the bad guy and saves the world.
And every young boy wants to be that man,
The one with the knowledge, the strength, and the plan.
He fights the devil, with that coy smile,
And tempers the evil, the ones so vile.
The hero never strives to fall or fail,
And all know that he will always prevail.
I wish my life were more like the flicks,
Where I could fight for good and take my licks,
And still keep on dreaming of saving the day,
But those dreams of mine have been chased away.
I see the cold truth, staring me in the eyes,
And slowly but surely, I start to realize
That I'm not so strong and not so tough,
And that I'll never be quite good enough.
I don't fly through the air or do heroic deeds;
I find my courage scarce as I shudder and bleed.
I can't carry the burden of the whole earth,
But my fear paves the way for inevitable rebirth.
I see through these eyes a thousand desires,
A girl in the distance who dances with fire.
I want to believe that I can hold her here,
And feel her in my arms and hold her near.
I want to believe that I'm good enough for her
Because she is the one who made my dead heart stir.
And yet, I find that I'm still so weak,
And my future prospects have grown so bleak.
But I rise to my feet, on the dawn of the fifth,
Believing in neither a man or a myth.

I make my own choices, follow my own path. Heroes are what we create, so don't ever forsake the truth. Myths are myths until they are made real.

You can rate all three if you want.

9/10 for "Man or Myth" because it reminds me of that Sting song "Saint Augustine In Hell" for some reason.

8/10 for all three then.

"Blind"
I see the world through two different eyes,
The past and the present, and slowly realize
That this dual nature is my curse and my gift,
And this burden is my own that no one can lift.
I see nothing for something, and slowly desolve
While the conflicts around me I cannot resolve.
My right eye sees a world of darkness and blur
While my left eye sees a world alone without her.
No matter how I try, I can't seem to see the light
From either eye, be it by day or by night;
I'm half-blind, literally and figuratively, so split,
And the darkness I see is the price for my hit.
I never told a soul, how I was unable to see
Because I didn't want sympathy or senseless pity.
I never told a soul how half of my vision was gone,
How half of my soul in similar fashion drifted along.
Well, now I can say it, that this eye of mine
Is a dead eye, while my left is still fine.
Just like me, half dead and have alive,
With only my passions left fueling me to strive
To be the person that I died for long ago,
That person whose eye had not suffered the blow.
Maybe I was afraid to say the cold truth to you,
That maybe you'd think of me less than you do,
That I can't truly see half of your beautiful face,
And half of what I see is of a dark, desolate place.
I know you'd cease to give me your heart,
And instead try and shelter me from the dark,
And I'd go from lover to invalid, just like that,
While you'd guide me around so I'd know where I was at.
I'm not that weak, though. Blind, or not,
I'll find my own way, even if I stumble and rot.
Half of me sees the dark, lonely past,
While half of me sees a future that'll last,
And so I can never forget those dark, dreary days,
But the half I can see has shown me a way
To make a future for myself that I couldn't find,
And I'll discovered that future, even if I'm half-blind.

'Sunflower'

Can there ever be,
A perfect family,
A home with some stability,
A place to escape the pain,
To find shelter from the rain,
A sanctuary,

Growing up I long believed that I wasn't worth the time,
Because nobody ever asked what was on my mind,
It was what I did wrong or how I messed up,
That focused on everything that I fucked up,
They counted me out before I got the chance to shine,
They never gave me the opportunity to claim what was mine,
And as a little child I had to grow up against all odds,
I was forced to grow up on the spot,
Burdened with so much right from the start,
Never knowing who I was in my own heart,
Still I lived on in this insanity,
Giving in to all my insecurities,

And so I wonder,
Will I recover,
From this analytical mother,
Never having a father,
Never feeling like I belonged,
Will I move on,
Will I grow strong,
From this past that haunts my future,
Will I find the power,
Will I stand tall,
Like a sunflower,

At times it seemed like everyone turned their backs on me,
It felt like no one would believe in me,
That I could do great things,
My heart was suffering,
So I ran away and moved away, and flew away,
Because tomorrow was never a brand new day,
It was always the same,
The same old game,
And I couldn't play it anymore so I spread my wings,
I left without saying a thing,
But here I am again,
I needed my family in the end,

And so I wonder,
Will I recover,
From this analytical mother,
Never having a father,
Never feeling like I belonged,
Will I move on,
Will I grow strong,
From this past that haunts my future,
Will I find the power,
Will I stand tall,
Like a sunflower,

I feel like I'll never be able,
To be stable,
I'll never find the serenity,
To move past my insecurities,
I'm scared that I'll never be,
Who I'm supposed to be,

And so I wonder,
Will I recover,
From this analytical mother,
Never having a father,
Never feeling like I belonged,
Will I move on,
Will I grow strong,
From this past that haunts my future,
Will I find the power,
Will I stand tall,
Like a sunflower.

"Talk To Me"
It's been months on end,
And still I wait by my phone,
Wishing for my friend
Not to leave me alone.
It's been so long, and yet
I still haven't heard her
Voice in so long, so I bet
She's forgotten who we were.
I check every letter I receive,
And every message on the machine,
And still hope to God and believe
That this doesn't become routine.
I check my e-mails every day
Just hoping to maybe hear
Her tell me how she's on her way
And that I've got nothing to fear.
But, still I don't hear her voice,
I don't read a letter from her hand,
And so I ultimately have no choice
But to stay in fear and try to understand;
I know the last time we spoke
Weren't the happiest times we had,
But when I hear your name, I choke
And think of the good and not the bad.
I remember how I was once the one
Who helped you through the pain,
And how you helped me get done
All that I needed to refill what I drained.
To feel alive and to be alive,
Two different emotions of the soul,
And yet still I managed to survive,
Pressing on to see my goals.
And yet, you're in my mind every night,
In every prayer, like I promised you.
I still pray that you'd keep up the fight,
And keep doing what you ought to.
It makes no sense; I make no sense,
And still I ask God to bless a girl
Who keeps me in perpetual suspense
And overlooks the fact that I'm in this world.
I want to believe that maybe I could
Find the words to make me real
And do the things I know I should
So that maybe again I could feel
And she could see me one more time
As I cry aloud till my voice is raw
And my fists are numb in my crime
And my cold heart can again thaw.
I want to see her, I want to feel her,
I want to be able to again heal her
And cleanse my sin of a stealer
And be able to eventually appeal her
To look past my obvious sin
And find the person she forsook,
And help me find some peace within,
Or else lable me a petty crook.
Kill me or love me or hate me,
I don't care what you missed;
I just don't want you to forsake me
And pretend like I don't exist.

in comparencement of you guys i suck but im gonna post it anyway..

my first lyrics "change"




i dont know what you're making of me,
Something i dont want to be.
you are making me to fit you're hand,
it's like you're the ruler of my land.
i want to be who i am and not what you're turning me in,
but i can't help it so the long journey called change shall begin.




you're making me change,
into a monster into a thief .
i always have someting up my sleeve,
into someone that no one can trust.
i dont want to change but if i want to keep you i must.




people shiver as they see me walking by,
and i keep asking myself why?
i keep telling myself im a good guy,
but i know it is a lie.
I'm a horrible person it's all you're fault,
someone should close me in a vault.
cause i hurt and i hate,
this can't be my faith.



you're making me change,
into a monster into a thief .
i always have someting up my sleeve,
into someone that no one can trust.
i dont want to change but if i want to keep you i must.



i have been a blind,
you're love isn't worth all this pain.
so i have left you behind,
and i've said goobye to the rain.
the sun will shine till the end of time,
i'm getting a good person, one step at a time.
i've found out that where you are i dont want to be,
but the truth is, there whas no one else to blame except me.



I'm done changing,
into a monster into a thief.
into someone who always have someting up his sleeve,
into someone that no one can trust.
i dont want to change but if i want to keep you i must.


i repeat.. this is my first lyric E*V*E*R so don't laugh..

Not bad! 9/10 for 'Change'. That was pretty good.

Anyway, this is a short song (lyrically. I haven't recorded it yet.) with some weird noises going to be put in it, so....yeah.

UNDER THE NAP AND SLEEP (this is based on falling asleep in the van when I was in New York for this weekend and waking up afterwards)

Recognize this line, stray from charges
I don't know how I feel...
All in the way and go it goes
Fade away, as the thoughts do.

I'll know. Eventually.
Dog and hamster.

(From here on, I'm planning to have the song continue as these noises get put into it: me, Tony and Rich making stupid noises backwards, a backwards guitar line, a line from South Park backwards, me saying 'this isn't over just yet' backwards, another backwards guitar line, some guy saying 'hold your fire!' forwards, and then me and Tony making fun of someone backwards.)

UGLY PORTAIT OF PEOPLE (figure it out! Oh yeah, if I posted this already, let me know.)

He's as dumb as a rock
He's only lifting weights to impress
He doesn't really know it doesn't work
He's loving himself.

She's so selfish
She's putting on make-up again
She's selling her soul
She loves herself.

I'm so alone
I sort of stand out
I left society already.
I love every moment.

He and she aren't like I.

(I'm kinda on a roll right now, so expect some newer material coming soon. One of the titles is going to be called 'Gut Cherries From Green Death Trees'. If you read that piece of crap 'Hatchet', you'd know. Hooray for oddity!)

As the creator of this thread, I'd like to say that I am very much against this peer rating idea. You can't judge a person's lyrics in such a manner. A 9/10 from you may be a 5/10 for someone else. It's just going to end up hurting someone's feelings. I'm requesting that this stops. Thank you very much.

Auuggh. There goes an idea from me, which is rare...

I just thought that more people would post, seeing that their songs would actually be commented on, but I guess not. And I have to say, that same thing applies to the avatar/sig thing. People work the same way at that stuff and get their feelings hurt too because they can't take criticism well. Meh. :-/

Eventhough you made an attempt to get more people to participate in about the only creativity based thread outside the world of Mortal Kombat here, you cannot base it in something as fickle as a Point Of View...

you see Poetry, at least for me is situational. I write how I feel at that instant, and when I do read some of the poems here I do sometimes grasp the entire sense of it. Sometimes I even go back n re-read them to see if I perhaps missed something or misinterpreted an expression. yeah I know how you (SZ) feel theres only about 3 regulars here n I always read the poems on the page Im posting on but I dont go back a page if I missed a day, I do believe we are all guilty of this... Feeling like you're going unnoticed is just part of lifeyou just gotta learn to make each persons feelings your own, it is not as nice as hearing a song, or having it read to you, but Im guessin a system of "Compliment the above author" would somewhat aid your cause...

To stay in context However!

u know I felt you
I wanna help you
embrace and brace you
form the fate he dealt you
your man the lurker
takes your perks
the jerk, tear jerker
low wage worker
I track your misery right to the source
the miserable asshole that made his misery yours
when it rains it pours, the thing is,
you come to accept how things gotten worse
when he cant put his hands on you
he hurts with actions and words
set of uneven scores
but you still open your doors
because he offers you worlds
its just lie after lie
love shouldnt be forced
kisses shouldnt be chores
you sit in denial thinkin that theres no other girls
then why you checkin his calls?
take me in, you deserve more
be who you run for
feel adored
and what its like to have your pain put before his own
no more abuse and put downs
and denounce the clown
who turns smiles to frowns
and remains unannounced
as I watch as the girl who drowns
in sorrow
no hope for tomorrow
who stuck in her peril
with a future thats steril
with a man thats empowered
when his girl's overpowered
while sporting his glower
now the relationship soured
but know that any man who hits a broad is a coward...

Don't feel bad, SZ. Good intentions are never wrong.

"Time"
Two days ago and six years away,
I heard a voice that made me stay.
Never before had I heard such sound,
Powerful enough to nail me to the ground.
The token affection of a young girl
Was enough to break me from this world.
And that's when all the dreams began,
And they continued on as I became a man;
She became so strong, physical and mental,
And yet her voice always remained so gentle.
I fell in love with that girl, who I barely knew,
And such affections left me with much to do,
And yet so much fear that I would appear
To be so insincere whenever she'd draw near.
And so I thought that a lie would be bought
And if I wans't caught, then this soul wouldn't rot.
From the day we met, I made a secret bet
That I would get everything from her, yet,
I had no right to take any of her light,
Be it through might, or with a stolen sight,
And so I couldn't boast with the one I held close;
I became a ghost to the one I loved most.
I counted down the hours till unholy powers
Finally sours while I give you wilting flowers.
I won't forsake you, and yet I couldn't break you,
And I wanted to take you and finally wake you
So that you could see my stirring dreams,
And I would be the person you wanted out of me.
I still believe, even as I roll up my sleeve,
And breath and heave, that you won't leave,
And I realize my wrong; I knew that all along,
Because you were strong; I couldn't belong.
And so you and I could maybe try
Or maybe I'll die and finally know why...

all it takes is practise(and some skill >_>) here's another one grin


alone



I'm beside myself,
because there's no one else.
alone,
i stand.
thinking everything is in hand,
but i know it's not reality.
i'm alone,
cause there's no one else but me.


I'm alone,
I Don't need anybody's help.
if anyone comes near me,
I'll be gone.
Being with someone else is something i can't,
so i'll be off to my own forsaken land.


I'm the king of my own cold world,
on my planet it's cold.
cold like my hart so it will be freezing,
on my planet i atleast have some meaning.
I live in the shadows,
and the shadows live in me.
don't anyone try to help,
cause alone is what i want to be.


I'm alone,
I Don't need anybody's help.
if anyone comes near me,
I'll be gone.
Being with someone else is something i can't,
so i'll be off to my own forsaken land.


this is much better then my first one IMO what do you guys think?
(you can rate.. you won't hurt my feelings)

"Ashes"
Ghosts of the past haunt my eyes;
I close my mind but slowly realize
That all I've done and lived for
Has been an empty metaphor;
The fire in my eyes and soul
Burns and consumes me whole.
My broken wings of burning flame
Cover me in my broken shame.

The memories will never relent,
And I can't move past my killing intent;
These hands of mine are crimson red,
Stained forever in the blood of the dead.
I've known nothing but tears and blood;
Insanity overwhelming in the crimson flood.
A fallen angel in demonic employ,
Stripped of his memories, his life, his joy.

The fire burns away all I feel;
So I fade, and then only he is real;
This person in me, this Azrael,
This entity of divine, fire-born hell.
Sword in hand, I slaughter all;
My wings break, and so I fall.
Falling forever in my flaming sky,
Falling forever yet I cannot die.

The life that was once taken;
The soul that was soon forsaken,
The dreams that were shattered,
And the future that never mattered;
The hope that was killed away
With the fear that longed to stay,
And the wings that took me higher
Now send me into the holy fire.

Angel of vengeance, angel of death,
I cry of mercy in each ash-filled breath.
The people cry for salvation; can I fly?
My wings of fire cannot carry me so high.
I hear their voices calling past the facade,
Screaming for justice to an omnipotent God.
I cannot see past the flaming veil,
And so I suffer with them in the crimson hail.

The mind borders on instability,
While my soul yearns for sweet sterility.
My dark design belies my own desire,
And I embrace the torment of the fire.
Angels have so far to fall from the skies
While demons can only try to rise.
Azrael I will be then; Angel of Strife,
Angel of Death, and now, I pray, Angel of Life.

"Field of Finality"
Singing softly in my ear,
Letting me know you're near,
You take away all my fear
And I view the one I hold dear.
We've lost so very much,
And I fear I'm so out of touch,
And I'm here now, as such
That you viewed me as your crutch.
I ran so far to be free,
To escape the demon in me;
I just wanted to see
That person I wanted to be.

Throughout our travels I knew
The feelings you felt for me were true.
I just didn't know what I should do,
Because she's in me through and through.
All your care, I truly appreciate,
But the feelings for her I can't forsake,
Even if I could never break
Except in memory, for her sake.
A love that can never be, I regret,
And the tears I caused you I can't forget,
But we can't fail; I can't die yet,
Not until I can destroy this threat.

Together, you and I can survive,
And the memories we shared will thrive
Upon the bonds that we'll revive,
Even if I won't actually be alive.
I live and die, living as I see fit,
Because life is what I make of it.
Those precious hours I can't forget,
And I'm so sorry I couldn't commit.
But I was too weak to live without her,
Her soul something I couldn't deter,
And so I lived, not as I would prefer,
But too afraid to leave things as they were.

And so I say good-bye to you.
The journey's over; my time is through,
And as you fade away, you dream anew,
And I grasp you; dear one, thank you.
And then you're gone, and I still remain,
Lost in my desert of endless pain.
I remain here to die, and yet forever gain
The peace I sough, so I don't complain.
Never will I forget; my soul is secure,
Even if my future is fearfully unsure,
And this plague of my heart has no cure,
I made a promise, and I will endure.

Let my body rot in the dirt,
Here in this mountainous desert;
Even if these struggles we couldn't avert,
I found my escape; I no longer hurt.
A love that never was and could never be,
I'm sorry, dear, for all my hypocrisy;
I'm sure you'll accept my apology,
And I pray you'll live free as you ought to be.
My tale is done; my fate is sealed.
As I stand in the sands of the desert field,
The light pierces the clouds and all is revealed,
And my sorrow-laden heart is at last healed.

"Life's to short"

The eternal slumber is coming for everyone,
When it's you're time to go don't bother to run.
cause either way you will go,
so much in life you still don't know.
this all goes to show how.


Life's to short,
Before you know it you're getting old.
life's to short,
before you know it you're in you're koffin death and cold.
there's no running it is called destiny,
it will get you and eventually even me.


I'm afraid,
To go to another place,
I don't want to die,
i keep asking myself why.
why didn't i told you i love you when i had the chance,
why didn't i ask you that night to dance.
but i geus now it's to late,
this trathegy is called faith.


Life's to short,
Before you know it you're getting old.
life's to short,
before you know it you're in you're koffin death and cold.
there's no running it is called destiny,
it will get you and eventually even me.


when it is my time to die,
I don't want no one to be sad.
Life is to short to cry,
Life is to short to feel bad.
So don't think of me and let the memory's burn
cause before you know it it's you're turn.


Life's to short,
Before you know it you're getting old.
life's to short,
before you know it you're in you're koffin death and cold.
there's no running it is called destiny,
it will get you and eventually even me.


as you see.. still practising grin

I don't feel bad, Garlador. I'm just confused.

Anyway. This needs more weirdness. Hooray.

GUT CHERRIES FROM GREEN DEATH TREES (about being forced to read that dumb book 'Hatchet')

If you insist
But I'm perplexed.
I've been bored before
Then why again?

What am I reading?

On the forest, in the island.
Alone
Alone
Alone
We know!

How does it form?
How does it make sense?
That's impossible, close the book.

I WUV YOU THIS MUCH (all I can say is that that's a VERY misleading title. The title is also a poke at some of the cheesy romance phrases I've seen.)

You're funny
You think everyone is fond of you
You're misinformed
You can't always follow your needs.

It's always going to turn the other way, always, ever, all the time.

You're concieted
You always compliment yourself.
You're alone
You don't need anyone else anyway.
You're confused
You don't know what's gonna happen.
You're depressed
You did this to yourself.

And here are just a few lyrics floating in my head:

I'd give it all just to see any of you smile
You don't want your spirits lifted, keep them heavy.
Depression, all that lies within any of you
And you're happy that you're sad...


I'm calling it "Despair That You Can't Shake A Stick At" or something similar.
