Another Broken Card (Copied from LPUMB)

All of the below was copied from my thread in the LP Underground message board...

"I'd like it on the record that I can't play piano and I haven't sung in months heh. I'm really excited about this song, the lyrics just came so easily and I have a perfect guitar part and a perfect piano part in my head. I know drums always come first but I thought I'd go with a simple drum part with some fills that intrigue me...(yes my own music intrigues me) and I'd written this guitar solo forever ago and it's been bugging me and I think I've found the perfect song! Yayy! Even if you guys hate it I'm definitely putting this down to be worked up and recorded and mixed. But I wouldn't mind some suggestions on the chorus
I've done a long intro so I'll shutup,,enjoyy x


Another Broken Card

Scars disappear into generations,
But placing your mind is harder than you thought,
Keeping up the work,
And satisfy try to keep the rhymes level,
Out of your mind trying to find the right devil,
Running from the wolves trying to call it a day,
But they can match your speed so you're walking the race.

Everything you wanted was just another broken card facing away,
Still you try to lose your grip and find yourself someday,
I'm still lost in you; trying to find another broken card heading his way.
Just to make it OK.

Weeks go by on the back of your hand screaming out to the world,
But you're not making sense calling out for your girl,
In the city,
Everything looks so real 'til you realise just how it is.
You can try to get by but you have to see how to lose,
Trying to make sense of things they want you to do,
I'm lost all again taking hope from the poor,
Self-doubt leaks within and she never really helps.

Everything she wanted was just another broken card facing away,
Still we try to lose our grip and find yourself someday,
Still lost in you and trying to find another broken card heading this way.
Try to make it OK.

Are you sick making me better?
Sick of trying every rule in the book just to get slapped in the face,
And sent to the back of the room,
It's the same thing...
But I won't give in today.
I thought it would be how you said it would be,
But I'm killing me here it's just so damn hard,
Struggling read another broken card...

But all we wanted was just another broken card coming our way,
And we try to lose faith and just find yourself someday,
Still lost in you anf trying to find another broken card heading my way.
So I can make it OK.

[Enter guitar solo I wrote aages ago]

I'm facing the wall praying Lord can you hear me,
Stay by the phone calling love can you feel me,
Saw you to make everything in your dreams,
Hanging out on you was just another mistake,
Something you just have to make...
Until the someday,
When you have that broken card,
It makes it all OK...

Everything you wanted was just another broken card facing away,
Still you try to lose your grip and find yourself someday,
I'm still lost in you; trying to find another broken card heading his way.
Just to make it OK.
Try to keep it away...
And find myself someday"

Bloc Party by Apathy (feat Mike Shinoda and Tak)

This song is so dope
Perfect representation for why hip-hop is so awesome...
I just love the lyrics xD

Bloc Party

[Green Lantern]
This is an invasion!

[Mike]
Hey Ap, why don’t you do the uh…the intro on this shit?

[Apathy]
Yo Apathy, Fort Minor, Styles Of Beyond, Demigodz

[Mike]
Here we go

[Apathy]
Yo,
Rappers like heavy metal and ghettos
Guns, metals and ammo
I pistol whip two of ya and f**k Meadows Soprano
A cat who sells them bugs but tell them thugs that
They don’t know how to carry more heat than welding gloves
I walk amongst the gods, keep my head in the clouds
Always show groupies love, getting head in the crowds
Put it in your girls mouth blast off like NASA
The master of nastiness
Transform a classy bitch
Into a little cheap freak sadomasochist
Dastardly bastard who raps so disastorous
Spit and heal the cripple like Christ the miraculous
Who fights my savageness, turns punks pacifists
The police clock Ap like there he go
Always on the watch because I use to carry blow
Always lock her down but I never marry ho's
Burry foes when the flows comes through your stereo

[Mike]
There we go flipping unpredictable verses
A curse to burst words like turrets on purpose
Flip the bird like a back-heavy jet perverse as it is
I can't stop and its making me nervous, ok?
Get me on a track and I'm cracking
Packing a backpack full of tracks on some CDs
Be me, f**k that and not likely
To bite me you need to be you times ninety
I got schemes and a team so hype we
Get on a scene make a scene on the nightly
Say what I mean, whether mean or politely
Living the dream in some clean white Nike's
Or DC's, I'm not giving a shit
F**k the words that you heard and the lips that they hang from
I stay banging the bang bang drums and hanging you lames
in the same no name gangs you came from
I don’t got an excuse, just talking the truth
I'm f**king awesome when I'm rocking the booth
And I stay ready with hot bloc rocking abuse
Y'all are really not stopping us dude
(Yeah Tak, get 'em )

[Tak]
It started off lookin' over and hit the galaxy
Now we are moving them over they are crowing me the Cali king
Anything tossed on my fuse getting chewed up
With a crew that sips a little brew way too much
Hooligans, smacked in the face with aluminum bats
Your f**king rap show's good as me, boo-booin
I said I was rude, step in the shoes, you don't believe me
You can ask Devin the dude how I strip down you bitch clown stand in my socks
Rip the mother f**kers ass like I'm Cannibal, watch
You want to be stoned? Beat 'em with a basket of rocks
Get your shit flowing feeling for the casket to drop
You know them S.O.B.'s never get the record to stop
Breaking the habit is impossible what happened to Tak?
He's unleashed, he's a beast so Sledge hand me a Bloc
Party, whats your corpses posing for? , the camera was shot, huh
Styles and Machine Shop, necklace fly
No wonder everyone is so petrified
I said, Styles and Machine Shop, necklace fly
No wonder everyone is so petrified

[Mike]
Let me hear that

A Broken Mirror (incomplete)

First part of a song I'm working on...second part coming soon hopefully! Ennjoy


A Broken Mirror

Guess this time we know exactly how to feel,
But the way you spell it out to me just makes it so more real.
When we take away the pain of every hour that passed us by,
Still everything that took my heart reminds me how you'd lie.
Let's not pretend we know what happened when they snapped it all in two,
Cause every time you look around at me I fall in love with you.

Every time you stand back to watch me cry,
I remember how you walked away,
And I remember the time that you just passed me by,
And I'll remember how you walked away,
With your back to me.

Fall to Pieces

...I'm cold *can't think of anything to say* ...I dunno,its pretty random and nothing to get excited about and I probably won't work on it stylistically unless I get a brain wave. Still, I needed to try this composition style out (: Enjoy



Fall to Pieces

You're always dying,
Can't you fight away all your tears,
Standing beside me,
Won't you wash away all my fears,
And I can see you slowly breaking,
Falling to pieces.

So everything goes again how it should do,
Everyone feels the need just to be you,
I can't help feeling envy for you.
I shouldn't have to.

This is the way it will be,
Standing with you in the rain,
Breathing so softly,
Taking in all of my pain,
So they can watch us slowly breaking,
Breaking our secrets.

So everything goes again how it should do,
Everyone feels the need just to be you,
I can't help feeling envy for you.
I shouldn't have to.

Don't be afraid,
I'll play your way,
Keeping me close won't heal your pain,
Just break a leg,
And take it all,
I'll give you my blessing and then I'll fall.

So everything goes again how it should do,
Everyone feels the need just to be you,
I can't help feeling envy for you.
I shouldn't have to.

I'll fall to pieces,
Can't you see this,
I won't let you fade away,
Make it up someday

So everything goes again how it should do,
Everyone feels the need just to be you,
I can't help feeling envy for you.
I shouldn't have to.

I shouldn't need to,
Still I love you,
And all of your secrets,
They'll fall to pieces.

Killing Batman

I had the 'Batman' themesong in my head (long story) and so I came up with that title...
Quite fast-paced,heavy bass part leads distored power chords with some drum part which is currently 'en processo'. Ennjoy

Killing Batman

Don't give me your sacrifice,
I'm sick and tired of all your lies,
Keeping rage inside of me,
Was harder than you would believe.
Something tells me we're gonna get lost,again.
Something warns me we're not gonna take control.

What do you do when all you think about is rage,
And everybody's looking at you in a way you can't explain,
Well fuck them;try to shake it loose,
I've lost all I had to lose,
Pleasing you will never do,
Try to get ahead of you.

I'm lost in the middle now,
Don't let go while asking how,
Staying safe outside of me,
Was tougher than you would believe.
Something tells me we won't make it through,this time.
Something warns me we're not gonna take control.

What do you do when all you think about is rage,
And everybody's looking at you in a way you can't explain,
Well fuck them;try to shake it loose,
I've lost all I had to lose,
Pleasing you will never do,
Try to get ahead of you.

I need something steady now,
Something that can knock me out,
Something never lets me run,
Holds me in and fires the gun.

Well what would you do if you had to stay,
Shoot yourself and run away,
Keep me from seeing yesterday.

I need something stronger still,
Something that can make me ill,
Something's always bugging me,
Holds you in and helps you see.

What do you do when all you think about is rage,
And everybody's looking at you in a way you can't explain,
Well fuck them;try to shake it loose,
I've lost all I had to lose,
Pleasing you will never do,
Try to get ahead of you.

Well fuck them;never shake them loose,
I've lost what they'll never lose,
Pleasing me will never do,
Try to run away from you.

Get away from you...

Who You Are (copied from LPUMB)

Drug addiction is a very serious matter,thats why this rap is very serious...get it?And its quite emotional aswell,especially if you've been through it or know someone that's going through it...If you're going through it then it won't really mean anything...ha...Inspired by Anthony Kiedis' biography,Scar Tissue. Enjoy.


Who You Are

This is a place where the racists make it,
And the cases are filled with familiar faces,
You don't have to take this,
But every other day is,
Riding through the back streets and trying not to cave in,
Rehab didn't get through to the brain waves,
Every damn minute you're replaying the same day,
You can't get back 'cause you don't know where the lane is,
You got no money and they're making you frustrated,
The lights are all out and you've lost the car,
You play famous,cut the crap man you know who you are.


Back to the streets trying to get a nice high,
Back to the streets where the sober dreams die,
Away from your home and the friends who talk shit,
Away from your bed and your wife laying across it,
Refuge in the motel and empty out the bar,
You've lost it all and you know who you are.


Your outrage is a play where the dealers are stages,
And the script goes on for hundreds of pages,
You don't have to take this,
But you split your wages,
And relapse into the dark valleys of strangers,
You can't face the fact that you're arm is going blue,
Your best friend don't even recognise you,
And you sit back and let it all run through,
You lost yourself and you can't even stand,
Poor sucker is meant to be meeting his band,
And going to play a gig that could change their lives,
You can't drive and you're just about surviving,
The band's pissed off with all the rehearsals you've been skiving,
You're stuck in a circle 'til they pull you back out,
They can't hear you and you don't have the strength to shout.


Back to the streets trying to get a nice high,
Back to the streets where the sober dreams die,
Away from your home and the friends who talk shit,
Away from your bed and your wife laying across it,
Refuge in the motel and empty out the bar,
You've lost it all and you know who you are.


I will never leave you,
I just wanna save you,
Show you what you mean to the people all around you,
Its a rough day to get through,
The streets trying to break you,
Pain you didn't know existed starts to control you,
Show you what it means to have it all about you,
Its a rough day to get through.


(The stars mirror your dreams and tonight they wanna glisten)
(Grab the mic from the crowd and pretend you wanna listen)
(Start to look back on all the girls you've been kissing)
(Get props from the doctor and start to fucking listen)
