Leaving the Lights Behind

Do you remember kicking the night sky into the flood lights
Out in the moonlight
We were the first day and the last nights
Just to take it all back and fall behind
But I, I thought I'd never see them right

So thank the Lord
That we're never coming back here again.
All the days we spent,
Wishing for the day we came alive,
Well I guess we got it right.

So here's to the day we met and to the day of our first kiss
On your blessed bed
I am without you and without this
But now I don't have a single regret
Just you, you and I can put it all right.

So thank the Lord
That we're never coming back here again.
All the days we spent,
Wishing for the day we came alive,
Well I guess we got it right.

Yeah you got me
Here on your first bet,
That I'd always be the one, in the end.
Then we fall down
Down onto your bed,
And all our talk is real tonight
Forever will commence.

So thank the Lord
That we're never coming back here again.
All the days we spent,
Wishing for the day we came alive,
Well I guess we got it right.

Destroy The Clocks

Inspired by new Linkin Park album 'A Thousand Suns' Post-apocalyptic-it's all our fault-philosophical crap ;)

Destroy The Clocks

I see the buildings fall
The fires burning out.
The dust it settles down,
It buries wounds of what is found
And soldiers laid to rest.
But in the cold and rust,
The lack of time,
The endless space and what is mine;
The calm it seems to carry a final prayer.
Because where you will find the deepest snow,
The brightest stars
From here I know,
They're all alive in beauty and decay.

Dissemble hands,
Melt the cogs,
Look to the sky,
And search for God.

Between the empty lands
I feel the thunder storms.
The moon it glides above,
In all its blissful ignorance
That shows it's so much more.
But on the corpse of Earth,
That's cold and grey
That sings the wars of fear kept astray;
The levees break so that we discover truths.
Because where you will find the deepest snow,
The brightest stars
From here I know,
They're all alive in beauty and decay.

Dissemble hands,
Melt the cogs,
Look to the sky,
And search for God.

Until we drop, woah.
The atoms will explode.
And God will leave us no
Time to destroy
The clocks
The fear,
And leave us thinking:

Here we are, woah
The atoms will explode.

And dissemble hands,
Melt the cogs,
Look to the sky,
And search for God.

Away

Um. Jimmy Eat World inspired. For someone amazing :) Enjoy x

Away

I'm stood out at the corner of your road
And you don't know that I'm here.
I can see your house out the corner of my eye,
And I can tell you're home.
No I can't see movement and I can't see your bedroom light,
But I know you're close because I know
And because the stars have never looked so bright.

They tell me
They begged me
And I know that I shouldn't be here.
But they don't know
And they can't see
My heart beating as you walk to me.
They could never see.

And it's cold underneath this clocktower,
But it's good just to be here.
I can see your eyes darting back and forth,
Between my lips and my eyes.
No I can't breath right and I can't let go,
'Cause I know you're close because I know,
And because the stars are all on show.

They tell me
They begged me
And I know that I shouldn't be here.
But they don't know
And they can't see,
My heart beating as you walk to me.
They could never see.

When the sun comes up don't forget where I am
And I'm always where you think I'll be,
'Cause I'm not done waiting.
Keep your lies and I
I will remain
Unable to tear myself away.

A Year In the Life Of...

Very basic. Listening to a lot of acoustic stuff from Three Days Grace, Finch and Taking Back Sunday. Enjoy x

A Year In the Life Of...

It used to take me months,
In fact it's been one year to date,
Since you turned my life around,
And put the ending right in front.

I can't stop the pain from dying away,
I can't blame the memories for wanting to stay.
And I still don't remember how I got to this place,
But I know I'm not leaving without

You keep my heart beating,
Even when there's no point to breathe.
And you keep my head spinning,
But I know I can still see.

So sorry for everyone getting in the way,
And forgive me for assuming you wanted to stay.
And I still don't remember thinking it through,
I still can't comprehend a life without

You keep my heart beating,
Even when there's no point to breathe.
And you keep my head spinning,
But I know I can still

See the sky above your eyes,
Waiting for me to drown behind
Constant nightmares coming my way,
But they're never enough to stop me to say

You keep my heart beating,
Even when there's no point to breathe.
And you keep my head spinning,
But I know I can still see.

I still don't remember thinking it through,
And I still can't comprehend a life without you

Souled

I want to come back to this...inspired by 'Move On' by Fort Minor and The Divine Comedy by Dante. enjoy xx (oh, note that "blessed" is pronounced [bless-ed] not [blessd]) and forgive the awful pun in the title, i'll rethink it...

Souled

Thank you for greeting the sinned and blessed at the door,
Passing judgement and thieving and begging them for more.
Well we don't need your valid opinions valued here,
So if you'd kindly step aside and the devil shall appear.

Place you on a pedestal that's looming way up high,
So you can sneer and raise your chin at us peasants passing by.
And as your ego grows so do the spikes above your head,
Accept the blessed and forgive the others' sins,
And soon the growing pedestal will make the blessed dead.

Way way down, beneath the last circle of hell,
A place is reserved and I know that it will fit you well.
Don't preach to me your false ideals or parade around your gold,
My soul is still in tact but yours is going gone sold.

Another rather unrelated event has appeared today,
The devil's here to tell you that your pretty head can stay.
But you have to get off your pedestal now, your fate will soon be near,
So if you'd kindly join us down below and the devil shall appear.

Way way down, beneath the last circle of hell,
A place is reserved and I know that it will fit you well.
Don't preach to me your false ideals or parade around your gold,
My soul is still in tact but yours is going gone sold.

I Dare

I had an idea, then lost it. Bear with me it may come back. Here's an intro:

I Dare (Intro)

Non-stop this rhythm is right here,
No locks this figure just don't care,
Go bang-bang, honey this game ain't fair,
No messing now; this game is called I Dare.

Your Love

Just...shutup.

Your Love

They said,
Things get better in time.
They said,
Everything will be alright.
You said,
Despite the things that tore us apart,
Whatever's true is in my heart.
And I'm so tired of wishing away,
Feelings that were there the other day,
And I can never make you feel,
Like you did.
Like I do.
Like I always will.

Your love was my purpose,
Purpose to take breath.
When it went it left pain,
And my path clear to death.

I made my mistakes,
That are too large to ignore.
They say life moves on,
But I'm sure there's no more.
I already had life,
But I blew it away,
Now there's no point in living today.
And I can never make you feel,
Like you did.
Like I do.
Like I always will.

Your love was my purpose,
Purpose to take breath.
When it went it left pain,
And my path clear to death.

And I can never make you feel,
Like you did.
Like I do.
Like I always will.

We Are Dead

Say Anything-inspired. Not much to say, it all fit together nicely.


We Are Dead

With a vast amount of human understanding,
Beliefs in science and religion do not divide,
Instead they leak and suffer and bleed...
But we are dead,
To the world that left us dying.
We are slaves,
To a man with no understanding.
We can flee,
But then he'd know that we're running.
And he'd creep,
Across every known desert,
Until the man that's sat above,
Feigns blindness and leaves us standing.

Then they'll follow us back home,
They'll knock on our front doors.
They'll paint us red,
Knock off our heads,
And quietly leave us dying.
And if we tied them to their throne,
They'll make us mop their floors.
We'd paint through led,
Get high instead,
And leave his majesty sighing.

We are dead,
To the world that left us dying.
We are slaves,
To a man with no understanding.
We can flee,
But then he'd know that we're running.
And then that man that's sat above,
Feigns blindness and leaves us standing.

Then I'll take a stranger's hand,
We'll shoot the snipers down.
Take the ammo,
Kiss while we go,
And we'll proudly leave them dying.
And if all goes as we planned,
The war won't make us frown.
It goes to show,
War is our foe,
Unless everyone is lying.

We are dead,
To the world that left us dying.
We are slaves,
To a man with no understanding.
We can flee,
But then he'd know that we're running.
And then that man that's sat above,
Feigns blindness and leaves us standing.

Woah

Changing (The Stairs Song)

UUURGH. I'm just trying to make a point. THINGS CHANGE. Things happen and people change. And it sucks like hell but it happens...you just have to move on and hope that somewhere ahead things change for the better. At times you might feel trapped and unable to move on but things change. They do. Be careful.
Mix of pop-rock and hard-rock. Like mixing Paramore ('All I Wanted') and Fightstar ('We Apologize for Nothing').


Changing (The Stairs Song)

There at the edge of the room,
I see your face, crying over me.
But here where I'm standing now,
Not in one place, you're confused like me.
I can't reset the things we said,
I can't perform repairs.
I know you're waiting up ahead,
But I can't find the stairs.

This house keeps changing,
Parts arranging,
Forcing us apart.
I've paid the prices,
Restored from crisis,
Changing through my heart.

Somewhere there is a cupboard,
Where we've pushed things, hidden them from sight.
But where we couldn't find the space,
They're everywhere, causing us to fight.
I can't reset the things I said,
I can't perform repairs.
I know you're waiting up ahead,
But I can't find the stairs.

This house keeps changing,
Parts arranging,
Forcing us apart.
I've paid the prices,
Restored from crisis,
Changing through my heart.

Change to pass the time,
But it still crawls past.
I guess change is not a crime,
But a murder's been forecast.

And I can't change the things we said,
I can't perform repairs.
I hear you waiting up ahead,
But there aren't any stairs.

Your heart keeps changing,
Parts arranging,
Forcing us apart.
I've paid your prices,
Lived through the crisis,
Changing through my heart.
I've paid the prices,
Restored from crisis,
Changing through my heart.

Believe In You

Non-conformist punk-pop-rock. Inspirations include 'Admit It!!!', 'Signal the Rifleman' and 'Woe' by Say Anything. Enjoy.

Believe In You

You speak clearly of me,
And all that you want,
You pay pity to me,
'Cause that's all you've got.
And I won't sit down to take this standing up,
So you should know,
I'm not here to give it up, so

You take them all away,
To redefine them,
You lured freedom away,
'Cause you're pissed again.
And I won't sit down to take this standing up,
So you should know,
I'm not here to give it up, so

We won't believe in you,
We won't believe in you.
We won't believe in self-destruction and,
Keeping a lock on life's front door and,
We won't take this standing up and,
We won't believe in you.

So you're loveless again,
Not so subtly,
And you're lonely again,
'Cause you're so lovely.
And I won't sit down to take this standing up,
You should know,
I'm not here to give it up, whoa

We won't believe in you,
We won't believe in you.
We won't believe in self-destruction and,
Keeping a lock on life's front door and,
We won't take this standing up and,
We won't believe in you.

We won't believe in you.
(We won't believe)
So take down your cameras
(We won't believe)
Take down your thousands of mirrors
(And we won't believe)
And we won't believe what you've done,
But don't leave it like this,
Because we won't take this,
We won't take this standing up, no.

We won't believe in you,
We won't believe in you.
We won't believe in self-destruction and,
Keeping a lock on life's front door and,
We won't take this standing up 'cause,
We won't believe in you.
