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."
