Condemn Me

My attempt at stoner metal ^_^. I've been listening to a lot of Deftones, and increasing amounts of System of a Down (although 'increasing amounts' means a couple of songs, ha) But yeah, just been in love with Deftones. I don't know where these lyrics came from...but they just came out. Not very likely that me or my band will be doing a stoner metal song...so may come back to this and make it less stoner-like. Enjoy x

Condemn Me

So you...
You can damn me for all the things,
All the things I have not done.
And all the songs...
All the songs we have not sung.
'Cause this is what you want,
This is what you...want.

Before you go,
Take a look,
Condemn.
And before you leave,
Heaven shook,
Again.

So if I leave you...
If I leave you for someone,
Someone more awake.
Then you will know...
You will know I'm tired of this.
'Cause this is what you want,
Am I what you...want.

Before you go,
Take a look,
Condemn.
And before you leave,
Heaven shook,
Again.

You stay still now dear...
It's all in the gun, I swear.
Russian roulette, I don't care.
Your hypocrisy...
It's too much to bear.
It's too much...

Before you go,
Take a look,
Condemn me.
Condemn me.
Before you leave,
As it took.
Heaven...shook...
Again.

Let Down by Dead by Sunrise

Self explanatory to be honest...
Chester Bennington's solo project with members of Julien-K/Orgy
Off of the amazing album 'Out of Ashes'
Makes me sad

Let Down

And the tears fall like rain, down my face again,
Oh the words you wouldn't say,
And the games you played with my unfoolish heart,
Oh I should have known this from the start.

Oh the winter and spring,
Going hand in hand just like my love and pain,
How the thought of you cuts deep within the vein,
Oh this brand new skin stretched across scarred terrain.

I don't wanna be let down,
I don't wanna live my life again,
Don't wanna be lead down the same old road.
Said I don't wanna be let down,
I don't wanna live my lies again,
Don't wanna be lead down the same old road.

All those years down the drain,
Love was not enough when you want everything,
What I gave to you and now the end will start,
Oh I should have listened to my heart...

Cause I don't wanna be let down,
I don't want to live my life again,
Don't want to be lead down the same old road.
I don't wanna be let down,
I don't wanna live my lies again,
Don't wanna be lead down the same old road.

I don't wanna be let down,
I don't want to live my life again,
Don't want to be lead down the same old road.
I don't wanna be let down,
I don't wanna live my lies again,
Don't wanna be lead down the same old road.

An Art of Theft

Oh wow. When I started this I fully intended it to be about being in love (happily) and hope and emotions. I'm...not quite sure what happened...Oh well. Still stuff I'm feeling, that clashes with the hope ^_^ very simple. Can be done acoustic or as a harder rock song...or compromises of both. Little cheesy. Some inspirations include 'The Only Exception' by Paramore and 'Fire' + 'Into You' by Dead by Sunrise. I may or may not have stolen the title of Ben "Yahtzee" Crosshaw's 'Art of Theft' game, but I like it :D Enjoy xx

An Art of Theft

You stole my heart, an art of theft,
You can't take it back.
But you were gone before you left,
You already knew that.

(Approaching with fear)
(You were so...distant)

The sky was all tired,
And I was so blessed,
And that was the day, the day that you left.
Hearing your voice,
I wouldn't have guessed,
It would be the day, the day that you left.

You keep my heart, a gift at best,
I can't have it back.
But you weren't hurt; your heart not stressed,
You already knew that.

(Approaching with fear)
(You were so...distant)

The sky was all tired,
And I was so blessed,
And that was the day, the day that you left.
Hearing your voice,
I wouldn't have guessed,
It would be the day, the day that you left.

Did you believe in me,
Just to believe in you?
And did you just hurt me,
Just to relinquish you?
(My heart, my heart)
I wasn't done with you,
(My heart, my heart,)
(My heart, my heart,)
(My heart, my heart,)
(My heart, my heart,)
(My heart, my heart,)
(My heart, my heart...)
Well it wasn't done with you...

I'm hearing your voice,
It came back again,
And that was the day, the day that you left.
The day that you left.

The sky was all tired,
And I was so blessed,
And that was the day, the day that you left.
Hearing your voice,
I wouldn't have guessed,
It would be the day, the day that you left.

The Only Exception - Paramore

It's fairly scary how much I feel I identify with these lyrics. Maybe I don't at all, but that's the sign of a true musician/lyricist. Hayley did well no?
Off Paramore's new album 'Brand New Eyes'. Absolutely beautiful.

The Only Exception

When I was younger I saw my daddy cry,
And curse at the wind.
He broke his own heart and I watched, as he tried to reassemble it.
And my mama swore,
That she would never let herself forget.
And that was the day that I promised,
I'd never sing of love, if it does not exist

But darling you are the only exception,
But you are the only exception,
But you are the only exception,
But you are the only exception.

Well maybe I know somewhere, deep in my soul,
That love never lasts,
And we've got to find other ways,
To make it alone,
Or keep a straight face.
And I've always lived like this,
Keeping a comfortable... distance,
And up until now I had sworn to myself,
That I'm content, with loneliness.
Because none of it was ever worth the risk.

Well you are the only exception,
Well you are the only exception,
Well you are the only exception,
Well you are the only exception.

I've got a tight grip on reality but I can't,
Let go of what's in front of me here.
I know you're leaving in the morning when you wake up,
Leave me of some kind of proof it's not a dream, ooh...

You are the only exception,
You are the only exception,
You are the only exception,
You are the only exception,
You are the only exception,
You are the only exception,
You are the only exception,
You are the only exception,
And I'm on my way to believing.

Oh and I'm on my way to believing.

Breathe (Copied from LPUMB)

Actually wrote it on Word, which is weird for me. Posted it on LPUMB immediately :) then came here:


I don't know xD different. Let me know what you think :) Inspired by Juneau (Acoustic) by Funeral for a Friend. I love that song. Enjoyyy x

Breathe

Well it’s a sorry sight,
I’m sorry for your pain,
But broken glasses don’t heal wounds,
I’m sure you’re sorry all the same.
For the love of God,
Or the love of something,
Something that will show me love,
And not create havoc.

Just sit still, breathe slowly,
Just lie here, die with me,
Just sit still, breathe slowly.

And just so you know,
I’m ready for the pain,
But I’m never going to run,
I’m sure I’m ready all the same.
Somebody help me,
Or help somebody else,
Somebody who deserves help,
And won’t create havoc.

Just sit still, breathe slowly,
Just lie here, die with me,
Well just sit still, breathe slowly,
Breathe slowly.
And just lie here, and die with me.
Just sit still and breathe below me.

Breathe until we die...
Slowly as you lie awake in agony,
Just sit still, breathe.
Just...breathe.

Well it’s a sorry sight,
I’m sorry for my pain,
But broken glasses don’t heal wounds,
I’m sure I’m broken all the same.
For the love of God,
Or the love of anything,
Anything that will show me love,
Only creates havoc.

As we rest.
As we rest.

Just Another Song

Something I've been working on for a while. Did it so fast. The original title was "Just Another Love Song" but "Just Another Song" fits better :) Um...I was torn how to end it so it goes on for a while...I couldn't make my mind up between a fade out or a big stop. OK...inspired BY...'Sunday Bloody Sunday' by Paramore and 'Palahniuk's Laughter' by Fightstar. Listen to both songs and be confused :P I blended both styles. Enjoy x

Just Another Song

Why do I feel afraid.
I'll keep on changing minds but it'll always be the same.
I never knew about the fires,
About the highs,
Won't you please just let me be,
And stop this messing with my heart.
And you have to tell me if I have this all wrong,
Because this could end up as just another stupid song.

I don't feel like,
The sun has made it's exit yet.
I don't feel right,
And everything is out of control,
Just another broken soul,
Some things just don't belong,
I don't want this just another song.
(It could be forever, we could change the world)

We all need a hero.
I'll sacrifice this state of mind to save my loan.
I never knew about the fires,
About the highs,
It's always the lows,
That keep messing with our hearts.
Don't feel like you can't tell me if I'm wrong,
I just don't want this to end up...
Because this could end up just another stupid song

I don't feel like,
The sun has made it's exit yet.
I don't feel right,
And everything is out of control,
Just another broken soul,
Some things just don't belong,
I don't want this just another song.
(It could be forever, we could change the world)
(If we would stay together, we could keep the fold)

Separations begin with letters of your name,
Riddles get me nowhere all the same.
I could find...
I could lie...
I could find...
And I could lie...
I.

I don't feel like,
The sun has made it's exit yet.
I don't feel right,
And everything is out of control,
Just another broken soul,
Some things just don't belong,
I don't want this just another,
You'll never be alone again,
You'll never think about back then,
It won't feel right...
It's what you like...
The sun hasn't made the exit yet,
I don't feel right...
Just another stupid song.

I don't feel like,
The sun has made it's exit yet.
I don't feel right,
And everything is out of control,
Just another broken soul,
Some things just don't belong,
I don't want this just another song...

I think it could be forever, we could change the world together,
We cannot deny the pain we feel,
You got it wrong,
You got it wrong,
You got it wrong...
It's just another song.

My Love-Sick Melody (Demo)

Yeah I sorta stole the title off Paramore (Stop This Song [Love-Sick Melody] oh WELL. It was inspired by that song as well as Rewind too :) Quite similar to rewind. It needs work and more originality xD so I will come back to it. About a boy (woah didn't see that coming did you?) ah well...it's a bit over the top but I do worry about this sometimes and I don't want to actually say it; so as per-usual I put it into lyrics. Demo because it's very rough. Enjoy anyway. x

My Love-Sick Melody [Demo]

This heart that you run,
It's always running,
But I'm being cautious,
'Cause I saw it coming,
How could we go on.

For all of you,
It's for all of this,
And for a lot.
Please go back if we're not moving forward,
Erase this pain like you promised you would,
And erase this love if you can't control it,
Just erase this heart.

My heart that you run,
Well it's always running,
And it's not for the first time,
That I saw it coming,
I will go on.

You fall right back into step,
Just like it was nothing,
You step right back while I keep on falling,
I'm not that strong so just give me warning,
But I may be wrong,
So God please just keep this running.

My heart that you run,
Well it's always running,
And it's not for the first time,
That I saw it coming,
I will go on.
I will go on...

You sleep peacefully,
And I sleep silent,
I'll never say how it scares me,
That this might be the ending,
I just know that I can't handle this,
And I can't handle it...

And well my heart that you run,
It'll keep on running,
And it won't be the last time,
That I saw it coming,
I will go on, without you,
But it won't have a meaning,
Without you.
And I will go on without you,
But it won't have a meaning,
And I will go on without you,
But I don't want to leave without you.

Somewhere I've Never Been

I had to do this one...this has been bugging me for ages: the song AND the subject. For my friends...I'm sorry.

Somewhere I've Never Been

I am going to leave,
And I will have a reason,
A fire escape, another lie,
A twist of fate and Californian sky,
To ease the wound.
And tomorrow night is way too soon.

Die low we go,
Reform a shattered dream.
Cry no I know,
Somewhere I've never been.
(Somewhere I've never been)

It's not what you did,
It's what you didn't need to say,
A false apology, another fake day,
A simple hug,
A vain promise that things will change,
And it's not enough to make me stay.

Die low we go.
Reform a shattered dream,
Cry no I know,
Somewhere I've never been.
(Somewhere I've never seen)

Lies go,
Through your soul.
And I'll go,
Somewhere whole.
To trust hope,
And find something I need to know.

Die low we go,
Reform a shattered dream,
Cry no I know,
Somewhere you've never seen,
Somewhere where I can be,
Somewhere that this is just a dream...
Somewhere I've never been.

Don't tell me your lies.
I won't need this disguise.
I might come back some day,
When I'm too tired to run away.

Die low we go,
Another shattered dream,
Cry no I know,
Somewhere I know I've never been.

On the Horizon (Copied from LPUMB)

All of the below is copied from my thread in the LPUMB Lounge.


Lot of inspirations for this. First I was thinking about doing something like We Are Broken by Paramore. Then I was thinking about how the weather had changed recently and there had been a storm. And then I thought about Funeral for a Friend's concept album: Tales Don't Tell Themselves. I was thinking about these things and some others like Cellar Door by Holly Brook and Taking Back Sunday songs and Hawthorns Heights and stuff...but it came out like this. And I like it. Tell me what you think... x

On the Horizon

Beginning with the cold,
It freezes minds, it freezes souls,
To keep me alive,
Promise me the sun will shine.

Keep your eyes, on the horizon,
I'll come back home,
We'll follow the sun,
You promise me the sun,
And keep your eyes, on the horizon.

And then the summer heat,
It pales the work, it pales the sea,
To keep me alive,
Promise me the sun is mine.

Keep your eyes, on the horizon,
I'll come back home,
We'll follow the sun,
You promise me the sun,
And keep your eyes, on the horizon.

Follow the heat with storms,
It clouds the sky, it clouds our forms,
To keep me alive,
Promise me the sun will shine.

Keep your eyes, on the horizon,
I'll come back home,
We'll follow the sun,
You promise me the sun,
And keep your eyes, on the horizon.

And the rain,
Reminds me of you,
And the timber frame,
That supports the crew,
And the water,
That runs,
The firing of the guns.
And rushing water,
Filling my lungs,
And eyes that cannot see the sun.

Keep your eyes, on the horizon,
I'll come back home,
We'll follow the sun,
You promise me the sun,
And keep your eyes, on the horizon.

Starting with, the sand and water,
The pounding, in my head and shoulders,
The ship that, lays across tens of miles,
In the middle of nowhere.
But the storm, the wind has settled down,
It's anger has abated, it's crime done,
And somewhere along the horizon,
I can see the sun.

Keep your eyes, on the horizon,
I'll come back home,
We'll follow the sun,
So promise me the sun,
And keep your eyes, on the horizon.

Velocity Thunder

Trying to calm down and regroup after "Falling" so here's a more organised piece. Just a few ideas,nothing serious. Hmmmmm, if you're wondering about the title I have a short story :) (hooray!!) So my friend Lara suggested (i think i can't really remember how that went down) that I wrote a song called Velocity Thunder. I messed about with some guitar parts but the idea sort of faded away. The process was all backwards: writing a song to match a title? It didn't make sense. But when I wrote this, I couldn't think of a title but I was thinking about Lara anyways and so it sort of clicked. I have no idea...scrap? Hmm, I'm torn.

Velocity Thunder

The wind is plain, it's back again,
It brings rain and fountain pens,
Stormy nights, they're so deceiving,
If God falls down from the skies,
Oh wouldn't that be a sight.

Flying close to mountain sides,
Another broken window.
You pick up that stupid smile,
I know somewhere we can go.
With a show.

Always pleasing, ain't it so sad,
Forget who and what you had,
Cloudy lights, that we're revealing,
If gold falls down from the skies,
Oh wouldn't that be a sight.

Flying close to mountain sides,
Another broken window.
You pick up that stupid smile,
I know somewhere we can go.
With a show.
Uhoh.
Whoa.
And here we go.

Flying close to mountain sides,
Another broken window.
You pick up that stupid smile,
I know somewhere we can go.
And we'll go.
For the show...

Falling

Venting. Again. Maybe I should make that a tag...*ponders* nah. :) Ok...um, very personal and...well it's all explained in the lyrics. En processo. Couple of lines I'm unsure about. I'll get back to it, this one has promise.
Enjoyy x

Falling

Someone alone is always wrong,
But is there someone there for me,
Something now is always listening,
But is there someone there for me.

Do you recall the night that we fell apart,
(Do you recall, do you recall)
I was down on the ground and you broke my heart,
(You don't recall, you don't recall)
Well let me remind you...
It was black,
It was dark,
It was hell and I'm still here.
I'm still here; I'm still standing!

Shoot me down and call me always,
You're playing your last card.
I'll keep walking ignore the pain,
This time it went too far.

I am tired and always broken,
But this mask does so much for me,
I spend all nights awake in fear,
But this mask does so much for me.

Do you recall that night when we fell apart,
(Say you recall, say you recall)
I was down on the ground when you broke my heart,
(You won't recall, you won't recall)
Well let me remind you...
It was black,
It was dark,
It was hell and I'm still here.
I'm still here; I'm still standing!

Shoot me down and call me always,
You're playing your last card.
I'll keep walking ignore the pain,
This time it went too far.

And when you call me,
(When you call me)
Don't expect for me to hear the phone,
(I'm trapped alone and I can't hear it)
So when you call,
That you recall,
I'll be gone,
I won't be sorry,
I've gone somewhere that you can't hurt me,
Somewhere I can get some sleep,
Somewhere I can kill some sleep.

Shoot me down and call me always,
You're playing your last card.
I'll keep walking ignore the pain,
This time you went way too far.

You can't stop,
You're not calling,
I can't sleep 'cause I'm still falling.

It's Goin' Down by The X-Ecutioners feat Linkin Park

Somebody asked me if I had to listen to one song for the rest of my life, what would it be? Naturally, I knew it would be something to do with Linkin Park and/or Mike Shinoda. But earlier I saw this video again and I knew that this would be the song. I would never get sick of this.
Honest to God, I have no idea how Shinoda comes up with these lyrics...but they are...indescribable.

It's Goin' Down


It's going down,
The rhythm projects 'round the next sound,
Reflects the complex hybrid dialect now,
Detects the mesh of many elements compressed down,
The melting pot of a super-futuresque style,
The combination of the vocal caress,
With lungs the gasp for breath from emotional stress,
With special effects,
And a distorted collage,
Carefully lodged between beats of rhythmic barrage.

It's going down,
A logical progression on the timeline,
The seperation narrowed down to a fine line,
To blur the edges so they blend together properly,
Take you on an audible odyssey now;
It's going down.

Put it out for the world to see,
LP and X-Men to the 10th degree. (It's goin down)
Nobody in the world is safe,
When we melt down the wax in your record crate (It's going down)
Put it out for the world to see
LP and X-Men to the 10th degree (It's goin down)
Nobody in the world is safe
When we melt down the wax in your record crate (It's going down)

Once again it is;
Composed sentences all together venomous,
The four elements of natural force projected daily through the sound of the source,
Everybody on board as we blend:
The sword with the pen,
The mightiest of the weapons swinging right from the chin,
To elevate of mental states long gone with the wind,
To defend men from shoddy imitation pretends,
It's going down,
Style assimilation readily,
Trekking through the weaponry,
Of the pure pedigree,
Cleverly seeing through whatever is ahead of me,
Whatever the weather be,
We invent it steadily,
It's going down sub-terrestrial high,
I rhyme regiment that's calling the shots,
Exectution of colloborative plots,
Ready to bring the seperation of style to a stop.

It's going down,
A logical progression on the timeline,
The seperation narrowed down to a fine line,
To blur the edges so they blend together properly,
Take you on an audible odyssey now;
It's going down.

X-men 'bout to blast off world wide
X-men 'bout to blast off world wide
'Bout to blast off world wide
And you do it like this
Just like this

Put put...put it up
I said it goes like this
And you do it like this
It's going down
Put put...put it up
I said it goes like this
And you do it like this
It's going down

Turns to Nothing (Copied from LPUMB)

All copied from LPUMB. Not gonna go anywhere with this, but an interesting piece.



RUSH...QUICK...WRITING SOMETHING. Ok, so random, so fast, deep if you look at it. Dysfunctional relationships, caffeine, imaginary drugs, insomnia, heartbreak, attraction, denial. Etc. Hard Rock/Funk Rock/Alternative. Listen to Stacked Actors by Foo Fighters and you'll get how those combine.
Thanks for reeeading enjoyyy xxx


Turns to Nothing

Yeah I'm sitting back thinking nothing but your eyes,
Oh God what a lie, such a pretty little mind,
I'm not like that but I'm still not right,
I'm not doing crack or little white lies,
I swear I get higher every time I get high,
I swear I get high from the smell of your dye.

Oh what a dream to be shaken free,
Oh what a life to remember me,
Can't you read.

If I'm falling back it's all good I promise,
It's just not like this, you running into my fist,
I'm not asleep but I'm still not alive,
I'm not pushing pills or trying to fly,
I swear I fly higher every time I fly high,
I swear I get high, I swear I get high.

Oh what a dream to be shaken free,
Oh what a life to remember me,
Can't you read

Why did you leave.
Why don't you hold on to me.
Why did you leave.
Why don't we stop.
Why did you leave when I began to drop.

Oh what a dream to be shaken free,
Oh what a life to remember me,
Can't you read

I'll get higher for you...
I'll keep running for you...
I'll keep running,
I'll keep running,
I'll keep...

Oh what a dream
(Not such a dream)
Oh what a life
(A pretty lousy life)
Can't you read
Can't you read
Can't you read me.

No Eye Contact for Pathological Liars

Just some confessions...yeah I find it hard to make eye contact with people and when I do it makes me...angry? Just some musings. The first paragraph is an intro,played quieter than the rest. The rest of it is pretty conventional. Acoustic guitar. Mercury Summer by Fightstar inspired, although it now sounds nothing like it.
Enjoy.

No Eye Contact for Pathological Liars

Am I lost,
True to you I'll fall again.
Should have known from the start,
I never would be true again.

So why did it get so bad,
When did it get to this extreme,
Why would I fall apart,
Why would I pick at this thin seem.
I don't know...
Who I am anymore.

The world isn't moving,
Tell me I'm dreaming,
When did it all fall down to this.
The world isn't moving,
Tell me it's spinning,
When did my lies bring us to this.

So how will I make it back,
Haven't I ruined everything,
Why would I lie to you,
Why would I push your love from me.
I don't know...
Why I can't meet your eyes.

The world isn't moving,
Tell me I'm dreaming,
When did it all fall down to this.
The world isn't moving,
Tell me it's spinning,
When did my lies bring us to this.

I guess I know...
Why it's so hard for me...
To simply look in your eyes.
In anyone's eyes,
Cause no-one can hide,
It's because of the lies,
It's because of the lies,
It's because of the lies,
It's because of the lies...
That I can't meet your eyes.

The world isn't moving,
Tell me I'm dreaming,
When did it all fall down to this.
The world isn't moving,
Tell me it's spinning,
When did my lies bring us to this.

Because of this,
Because of this,
Because of this,
Because of this.

In Fair Verona (Where We Lay Our Scene)

Copied off LPU. Zomg, I actually FINISHED a song! It's a miracle! Ahahaa! Big thanks to GlassGhost for his support on this, gave me the confidence to actually put the "completed" tag on this. :)




Going for a slow, mournful but alternative thing here. A bit like Porcelain by Red Hot Chili Peppers/Still by Foo Fighters/Session by LP. Very Romeo and Juliet orientated. Hence the title... enjoy xxx

In Fair Verona (Where We Lay Our Scene)

Beautiful verb,
Treated softly by the world,
Well sweet angel,
I want and you deserve,
Every piece of this word.

It leaves with a kiss,
Blown gently by the wind.

Oh love, we are so foresaken.
Oh love, tell us you're mistaken.
Tell us love is just a word,
Just a loving gentle verb

It leaves with a kiss,
Blown gently by the wind.

All of your dreams,
They take away what love means,
Oh poor angel,
We desire but never get,
The word and it's distress.

It leaves with the wind,
Blown gently by your kiss.

Oh love, we are so foresaken.
Oh love, tell us you're mistaken.
Tell us love is just a word,
Just a loving gentle verb

It leaves with the wind,
Blown gently by your kiss.

Oh sweet love,
Oh angel coming from above,
Your tears they stain my dress,
Fills me with lust that will never rest.
Oh my love,
Oh my angel drenched in blood,
Your tears they stain my skin,
They boil the love the rests within.
It stays dormant,
It stays cold,
And releases your relinquished souls.

Oh love, we are so foresaken.
Oh love, tell us you're mistaken.
Tell us love is just a word,
Just a loving gentle verb

It leaves with a kiss,
Blown gently by the wind.

Die A Thousand Times

I was thinking I should do something that isn't so personal and pissy. This was what I came out with. I don't just wanna bitch about my life in my lyrics or all the things and people that piss me off, although it may seem like I do that a lot. Those songs are still heartfelt and could be a lot worse (like Slipknot lyrics *shudders*) but I needed to try something different. This is about basically everyone in my life (myself included) and how we complain about our lives,when really we have it pretty damn good. I know it doesn't do much good but; dedicated to the people who are actually suffering. x


Die A Thousand Times

Tell me the story of your life,
Then let me guess the ending.
You can't take away my eyes,
You can't take away his lies.
Why we complain I'll never see,
This world just seems corrupt to me.

I'll sing for you,
Like the sun sings for the damned blue skies,
I'll fight for you,
When the people hide their only lies,
And we'll die...
And we'll die a thousand times.

Tell me a story of a far-away land,
Then let me bring you back again.
Don't you see the suffering men,
Don't you see the tracks again.
Our lives aren't tragic we have so much more,
And yet we feel so underscored.

I'll sing for you,
Like the sun sings for the damned blue skies,
I'll fight for you,
When the people hide their only lies,
And we'll die...
And we'll die a thousand times.

I'm tired of your reflections,
I'm tired of seeing black and white.
I'm sick of all your expectations,
I'm sick of all this unearned time.

I'll sing for you,
Like the sun sings for the damned blue skies,
I'll fight, I'll fight,
When the people hide every single lie,
And we'll die,
We'll die a thousand times.

Take It All

Subtle right? Haha,venting my frustration on my songs. Started as a rap like old LP (Xero) songs but turned into this massive dramatic semi-acoustic thing.
To be continued. I don't know if I want to make it longer but it will end on that chorus for sure. Err,talking about a couple of people in this song. They're both my friends,one more than the other. Written about them but it can be about any attention seeking situation really. For anybody who feels they get caught in the middle of their friends' depression. Enjoy x

Take It All

Lives were lost today,
But I'm sitting here as you throw yours away,
Everything I thought about everyone I knew,
Has gone or has changed and you've got me confused,
I'm on the edge, so close to giving up,
Your pain and hurt is another's good luck.

You want attention (take it)
You want pity (take it)
You want my sanity,you want my time,
Just take it,take it all.
Oh take it,take it all.

Can't you learn to live with what you've got,
Slit your wrists 'cause you're fucked up,
But I'm not buying your life dear,
Do you take me for a fool,
I know the trick you're trying to pull,
And I'm so tired and I'm on edge,
I won't save your life again,
Just scream,before you count to ten.

You want attention (take it)
You want pity (take it)
You want my sanity,you want my time,
Just take it,take it all.
Oh take it,take it all.

You're not on your own,
You're dying to be,
I'm suffering behind this mask,
But I won't let you see.
I don't want to take it all.

You want attention (take it)
You want pity (take it)
You want my sanity,you want my time,
You want help but you're doing fine,
You want it all,you want it all,
Just take it,take it all.
Oh take it,take it all.
Take it,take it all.

S.O.S

No it doesn't stand for Save Our Souls. It stands for Sex Over Sanity (according to my friend Addy) Uh, wrote this while RyuuAi Motel was still together. I wrote the first version,Addy(guitarist)messed around with it,threw it away,wrote 2 more before getting it right. Or as right as possible.
Not gonna do anything with this seeing as R.A.M broke up, thought I'd put it up anyway, enjoy.


Sex Over Sanity

The thought of kissing you feels so wrong,
So why does this feel so right?
You’re my personal enemy,
The love of my life…
Stop walking next to me.
Stop telling me how you feel.
Stop me falling deeper in love,
Tell me my sanity isn’t real.

You said you’d silence me,
I promised I’d forget all the rest,
When you challenge my sanity,
I just choose the sex.
Sex over sanity,
It’s harder now to breathe,
Your blood is filling my mind,
I can’t stand to leave.

You’re like a drug and you’ve got me hooked,
I should know better by now,
But I still can’t stop kissing you,
It’ll work somehow…
Come and sit next to me.
Come and show me how you feel.
It’s too late I’ve fallen in love,
This time my sanity is unreal.

You said you’d silence me,
I promised I’d forget all the rest,
When you challenge my sanity,
I just choose the sex.
Sex over sanity,
It’s harder now to breathe,
Your blood is filling my mind,
I can’t stand to leave.

You should leave me be,
You should be scared.
I shouldn’t have broken the rules,
I shouldn’t have cared.
We should run and get away,
We should take our chance.
I should leave you human,
I should make this kiss our last.

You said you’d silence me,
I promised I’d forget all the rest,
When you challenge my sanity,
I just choose the sex.
Sex over sanity,
It’s harder now to breathe,
Your blood is filling my mind,
I can’t stand to leave.

What I am…
It’s not what you need.
But your blood…
Makes it hard to leave.
This time more will be less,
And this time it’s SOS

You said you’d silence me,
I promised I’d forget all the rest,
When you challenge my sanity,
I just choose the sex.
Sex over sanity,
It’s harder now to breathe,
Your blood is filling my mind,
I can’t stand to leave.
Can’t stand to leave this sex over sanity.

If It's True

Literally wrote this in 5 minutes. I'll come back to it, but I needed to get something done this weekend I feel very useless. Oh yeah, I'm on my brother's computer until Monday afternoon when he gets back from Spain and so I have access to Guitar Pro 5. I wrote a nice little guitar piece that fits with this OK.
Romeo and Juliet inspired x

If It's True

Are you done,
Are you finishing.
I'm tired of looking in your eyes,
And seeing nothing but contempt,
I'm sick and tired,
Are you done, are you finishing.

If someone you know can't love you back,
You're stuck wishing for something you can't have,
And I'm done.
I'm so tired of you.
(If it's true)

You are the heart of heartless dreams,
You are the smile in final weeks,
You are the sun, you are the sky,
You're in no heart,
But you're alone in mine.

If someone you know can't love you back,
You're stuck wishing for something you can't have,
And I'm done.
I'm so tired of you.
(If it's true)

Are you real,
Or am I just insane.
Is this choice,
Or am I tempting fate.
I should have left you, should have killed you,
But my heart is dying with your pain,
And I'm in love it's too late.
This time I'll hurt myself and not you.

If someone you know can't love you back,
You're stuck wishing for something you can't have,
And I'm done.
I'm so tired of you.
(If it's true)

Cause it's true
It's true
It's true
It's true
I'm not your heart,
I'm not your pain,
And I'm sick and I'm tired...
And I don't want to wait.

If someone you know can't love you back,
You're stuck wishing for something you can't have,
And I'm done.
I'm so tired of you,
If it's true,
I'll let go of you.
If it's true.

Juneau - Funeral for a Friend

I love it when you listen to lyrics and they just spell out a relationship you have with someone. This song does this for me and it's also amazing.
2 versions. Original and acoustic. I prefer the acoustic if I'm being honest but the original is great too. But my favourite FAFF songs are the acoustics (Juneau,History,Building,Charlie Don't Surf, etc.)
Figured I'd put the lyrics up for this.

Juneau by Funeral for a Friend

Tied to the testing of wills,
When my heart breaks and spills
Left to the sight of the sky,
In your arms I'm defined
In the minds of your enemies,
In the minds of your enemies.
And I'm stoned in the eyes of your foolishness.

If this is what I'm meant for,
I'm no longer interested,
Fall forward to even the score,
Just a thought to you.

Tied to the testing of wills,
When my heart breaks and spills,
Left to the sight of the sky,
In your arms I'm defined.
In the minds of your enemies,
In the minds of your enemies.
And I'm stoned in the eyes of your foolishness

And I'm nothing more than a line in your book,
Yet I'm nothing more than a line in your book,
Yet I'm nothing more than a line in your book,
Yet I'm nothing more than a line in your book,
In your book, in your book...

If this is what I'm meant for,
I'm no longer interested,
Fall forward to even the score,
Just a thought to you.

(Just a thought to you)
(Just a thought to you)

Yet I'm nothing more...
Yet I'm nothing more than a line in your book,
Yet I'm nothing more than a line in your book.

Unforgivable Thoughts (copied from LPUMB)

All of the below was copied from my thread in the Linkin Park Underground Message Boards.


"Inspired by The Kill by 30 Seconds to Mars (brilliant video for that BTW) I couldn't think of a title just looking at these lyrics because they don't nearly say enough about the subject but 'Unforgivable Thoughts' : it sorta sums up this subject for me. Its about attention seeking but that not might be very blatant but that's OK I wasn't going for some big dramatic 'fuck you' song.
Most of you have probably seen LP's 'Making of Minutes to Midnight'. At one point Mike describes how if he thought a song should have rapping on it; he sung. And vice versa. I'm doing a similar thing: if I think a song should be heavy; I'll do it acoustic and vice versa. Should be fun. It's going great so far. I really really recommend this, it clears your head a bit.
Long intro,sorry. I'll bugga off. Ennjoyy!


Unforgivable Thoughts

Are you closer to the start
Or the bottom of your heart
Give you a second to bleed
To take back what you heard
And you'll see (you'll see)
I won't say a word
Say a word
Say a word

No
You won't find pity here
You won't find any fear
I can't stop your pain
Can't stop your crave
And I can't stand your lies
I...

Can't you see that I wanted to care
But you only care for yourself
Take your pain and all of it's greed
Set it down and leave it to bleed
(Can't you see that I want it to bleed)
Can't you see can't you see,
I'm not done I'm not here I can't leave

No
You won't find pity here
You won't find any fear
I can't stop your pain
Can't stop your crave
And I can't stand your lies
I...

No
You won't find pity here
You won't find any fear
I can't stop your pain
Can't stop your crave
And I can't stand your lies
Lies
Lies
Lies

Find it in me
Everything you wanted to be
Spell it out (spell it out)
But we see you don't bleed
We see how your pain is your show
Your lights and your paint but your crowd
It's suddenly missing...

No
You won't find pity here
You won't find any fear
I can't stop your pain
Can't stop your crave
And I can't stand your lies
Lies...

You won't find your fear...
(I can't find the sun in the sky)
You won't find your fear...
(As long as you don't explain)
You won't find your fear."

Burning Alone Forever

Ok I am so damn proud of this. I have the entire song mapped out in my head. I'll get right on that but here are the lyrics. Not sure about the title it might change. Some other lines/words might change but I doubt it...I'm really happy with this.
Ennjoy x


Burning Alone Forever

This damn blood is running down my arms,
Staining everything,
Oh pain you couldn’t have chosen,
A less worthy mark,
I don’t deserve your passion,
Don’t deserve to make it last,
I can’t keep the life that’s killing me.

(Don't leave)
I can’t hold the truths you hold at me.
(Don’t plead)
I can’t stop the pain that’s stopping me.
So don’t leave me here alone.
Don’t keep alive this burning soul.

This damn love is so ruined for me,
Breaks my fragile heart,
Oh God you shouldn’t have chosen,
Shadowed over-cast,
I can’t keep its sanity,
Don’t deserve to make it last,
I can’t lift the curse that’s killing me.

(Don't leave)
I can’t hold the truths you hold at me.
(Don't plead)
I can’t stop the pain that’s stopping me,
So don’t leave me here alone.
Don’t keep alive this burning soul.
Ooh…
Don’t leave me here for show,
Don’t keep alive this burning soul.

(Don't leave)
I can’t hold the truths you hold at me.
(Don't plead)
I can’t stop the pain that’s stopping me,
So don’t leave me here alone.
Don’t keep alive this burning soul.

You took,
Whatever you could take,
And it’s not enough to make me fall.
I’m not standing up for your ego,
You always knew how to have it all.

Don’t leave me here alone.

This fragile heart’s,
A broken heart,
It can’t keep me here alone.

(Don’t leave)
I can’t hold the truths you hold at me.
(Don't plead)
I can’t stop the pain that’s stopping me,
So don’t leave me here alone.
Don’t keep alive this burning soul.
Say you can lie to my burning soul.




EDITED - 07/03/09
REASON - Title changed from 'Burning' to 'Burning Alone Forever' also got rid of 1 chorus,might get rid of some more and the chorus is shorter and less annoying :)
Not many changes,like I said before x
