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.
