Written whilst exceedingly hungover and convinced i was going to die as a result of it (well, not quite :P).

it's shit, but surprisingly blunt and to the point, which i don't usually do... so let's see:

 

----------

so, i'm not thinking straight,

i'm not even sure if that's a bad thing.

 

and it's getting late,

with nothing but regret and nicotine to get me through the night,

i'm not sure that this is a good thing.

 

i'm not sure that you were a good thing,

but you were the best damn distraction

i've had in a while.

 

well, obviously not good enough,

but then i don't think anyone is good enough,

when it comes to comparing with you.

It’s been too long, since I’ve seen your face.

Deprived of your beauty, I’ve been brought to this place.

Where all I want is you, all I see is you.

All I need is you.

 

Now that you’re here, nothing is the same.

Since you walked into my life, I have been forever changed.

I don’t want to go back to the way it was.

When I wanted to be needed.

When I wanted to be loved.

 

And here you are, fulfilling my needs.

And here I am, down on my knees.

Pleading, begging for you to stay.

I can’t do this without you, cause without you baby I can’t go on.

 

Take this from my heart, I’m pouring out to you.

Catch me in your arms, before I hit the ground.

Catch me in your arms, catch me as I fall.

As I fall for you.

 

Now that you’re here, nothing is the same.

Since you walked into my life, I have been forever changed.

I don’t want to go back to the way it was.

When I wanted to be needed.

When I wanted to be loved.

 

Take my hand, let me walk you home.

I’ll keep you safe, and never let go.

Let me clutch you in my arms.

Baby you can be a prisoner in my arms.

 

 

I love you for who you are. Your perfections and imperfections.

Let me show you a love that you won’t understand.

Until it takes over you, and you have no choice but to let it take control.

Baby, be a prisoner in my arms.

^do it!

 

I'm bored, and what do i do when i'm bored ? yup, i shower your unsuspecting minds with awful ramblings. this post is ignorable if you're bored of me, which would be understandable because i'm here an awful lot :o

 

-----

i'm being too nice and shy and discreet

when a simple "fuck you" would be most effective

and who cares if she's blonde or smart or petite

she's just another whore, cold and insensitive

 

and i cried for you

i cried out with screams and whispers and speeches

and haunted dreams and secrets and inhuman screeches

i cried for you.

 

you're being too harsh and cruel and too spiteful

when a simple "goodbye" is all that it takes

your insults aren't clever or big or insightful

you're just another prick to add to my list of mistakes

(it's getting longer day by day)

 

and i loved you

i loved you with words and hugs and smiles

and heartbeats and breaths and beautiful lies

i loved you.

 

so let's tear this apart

tear this apart and forget and forgive

let's tear us apart.

Bruised (title from jack's mannequin.)

 

I want a hand to hold

A laugh to share

I want someone to keep me warm when it’s cold

I really want someone to care

 

Will anyone see me?

I am I lost in search of love?

I can’t see, I can’t see.

I wish I had someone to think of.

 

I am very cliché

That is what I hate most of all.

And it gets worst day by day.

I think I have finally hit the hard, brick wall.

alright as promised... these are the songs that me and laura are recording this summer

 

_"Pretend"________________________________________

if you say what you feel

then you must not feel very much

you know these aren't real

when they're tearing at you like this

 

there's nothing

new this time - NO!

there's nothing

YOU CAN DO ABOUT IT!

 

the beating of this heart

only makes me wish I could pretend

in the end of times like this

I wish I was never a part to begin

 

if you know

everything that can be known

then why are you still standing here

waiting to go home

 

if you've seen

all that's to be seen

then why would you be standing here

then why would you be standing here!

 

the beating of your heart

only makes you wish you could pretend

in the end of times like this

I wish you were never a part to begin

 

***insert bridge here***

 

the beating of this heart

only makes me wish I could pretend

in the end of times like this

I wish I was never a part to begin

 

 

____"Stay?"____________________________________

Some of the smallest things

Can remind me

Of what I've always had

And what I'm learning

 

All of these tiny words

Oh, they don't have a meaning

All of these thoughts

Oh, why are they so demeaning

 

Try, for once,

To make a little sense

Think for once

Or is it too hard (to say the least)

 

OH! You couldn't say

What I would hear forever

NO! You'd never feel

What I would feel forever

Now I can't keep you forever

But you are, the only thing keeping me together

 

When there isn't much to say

Why do you remind me

Of what I never had

And what I'll never know

 

All of these tiny words

Oh, they don't have a meaning

All of these thoughts

Oh, why are they so demeaning

 

Try, for once

To make no sense at all

Think for once

Or is it too hard (to say the least)

 

OH! You couldn't say

What I would hear forever

NO! You'd never feel

What I would feel forever

Now I can't keep you forever

But you are, the only thing keeping me together

 

Tomorrow, I won't no a thing (and)

Tomorrow, your name won't mean a thing (well)

TOMORROW! I won't care anymore (NO!)

TOMORROW! I won't CARE ANYMORE!!!!!

 

OH! You couldn't say

What I would hear forever

NO! You'd never feel

What I would feel forever

Now I can't keep you forever

But you are, the only thing keeping me

 

_____"Home&Happy"___________________________________

These carboard boxes

Just get wet

they Cause the rain to fall

And drench you in regrets

These feelings gone

As lost in thought

The truth belongs

Here, not anymore

 

WELL!

I can't give up

All that I worked for

All that I wanted

Just because you broke some hearts

Doesn't mean that you're so bad

 

Because everybody does it

Once in a while

They break a heart

But manage to smile

THey see what they've done

And still, nothing's what they've won

 

 

This home couldn't count

For what you wanted

Or Nowhere near what you'd need

The knowledge of what you'd do to yourself

ONly shows the weak..ness!

 

well

who knows what could happen

to you now

What would you have done

to show us how

you stopped hurting yourself and

everyone around you

 

___"Say This Please?"____________________

My only hero

Is the one who broke me

The way that he worded it

Was the reason behind these

Thoughts

 

[chorus]

My dreams involve what you

Could say forever

Those things much too complex to

Control me (why won't you control me)

Even when You aren't here

You're in my mind

You've got every thought down don't you?

Even when I'm not thinking a thing

Thoughts of you keep breaking in

TO ME!

 

So who do you expect

To show through this mask?

What do you expect to see in me?

This heart would be shattered

As the pains of the glass?

 

[chorus]

 

[bridge]

From here on no longer

Will you read me like a book

I'll push away what I want

If it stops the dirty looks

The ways you'd say they stared

Are breaking me

More that I've seen you cry

As you told me

 

[chorus]

_____"Faith (modified)"_____________________

 

Everytime I thought of ending it

I'd put in the song that I so badly love

I'd think about what I was doing wrong

Or if that was what was going on at all

But I remember crying while hearing your voice heal my wounds

You saved me more than once

This is my song for you

 

You've talked me out of everything

That a friend would

You've showed me who I was

Though you didn't ever know me at all

And now

I know

What I'm supposed to do

So here's my song for you

 

while I would sit out on the ground

Hoping I could get my heart not to pound

YOu'd say just about anything

So to you I sing

 

You've talked me out of everything

That a friend would

You've showed me who I was

Though you didn't ever know me at all

And now

I know

What I'm supposed to do

So here's my song for you

 

You've given me the thoughts that I have today

And the smile on my face

The tears and words coming out of my mouth

Are all for YOU!

 

You've talked me out of everything

That a friend would

You've showed me who I was

Though you didn't ever know me at all

And now

I know

What I'm supposed to do

So here's my song for you

 

____"What control?"

Driven by the tides

You know

You could just fill your glass up

Toast to empty words

Or there would be nothing left to love

(to love)

And! When you’re old and out of breath

Who’s going to take you out of it?

Who’s going to make you try harder

(try harder)

WHEN! Will you see

There’s nothing here that you want to be

WHERE! Will we be in 20 years

Alone, and away from these monstrous fears

WHAT! Do you think they’d think

About the thoughts that I’m thinking

WHEN! Will you see…

Away from it all

You know

You could just throw it all away

Brake the hearts - of millions!

(of millions)

But! You know you could never be

What they perceived you to be

What would you want them to say

(TO SAY!)

 

 

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

these are just some random lines that we're working on right now

 

Thank-you for dismissing me so abruptly

I hate wasting my time with respectful replies

Sad, isn't it, how we have to be reminded where our best is

Maybe I'm a little less uncomfortable talking through the lies

Or the best isn't good enough for these thoughts that you're having

Or the worst is too bad for these nightmares you seem to be sharing

When the daylight’s all gone and you have nothing to worry about

Why would these thoughts cross your mind or these words reach your lips?

time for suckyness...

 

Bolt From the Blue.

 

It caught me by surprise

How I let my pain define

The way I lived my life

And how I longed to die

And now if I had to choose

I wouldn’t be so selfish

My life I think I’d lose

For you, and only you.

 

CH:

Won’t you stay with me?

Tell me this battle will be over soon.

Please tell me this will be

The last time I let pain define me.

We’ll fight together,

We’ll fight it all together.

 

Is this how we’ll always be?

Until we see, until we believe?

Transparent truths and cynical lies,

Trying to hide the pain all the while?

I’ll stay and fight with you,

And together we’ll make it through.

 

{Chorus}

 

Bridge type thing:

This is the story of my life,

I always thought death

Was the only way to ease the strife,

And the only way to gain respite.

But I guess I was wrong.

You’ve been fighting with me all along.

 

 

*based on this quote by hayley.

"don't let pain define you.

i do that a lot... but we can fight it all together.

that's what i love about us and our fans.

we fight together."

Let Her Go

 

*clean guitar intro, followed by hardcore riff*

 

It's plain from that look on your face

You were never the best secret-keeper

You always wore your emotions on your sleeve...

 

And now I can see the pain you feel...

 

Take my advice and let her go

It's the only course to take

Take my advice and let her go

It's the best course of action...

 

She treated you like the dirt on her shoe

She never had your best interests in mind

You were nothing to her and always will be...

 

And now we can see the pain you feel...

 

*chorus*

 

She never loved you like she said

So let her go my friend and come back to us

Leave her corrupted memory behind!

 

*solo*

 

(shouted)

She never loved you like she said!

So let her go my friend and come back to us!

Leave her corrupted memory behind....!

 

*chorus*

 

Let her go!

Let her go!

Let her go...........!

This is just something I wrote. I don't know why I wrote this, but maybe I just had something on my mind.

 

SNOW

 

Her teeth glimmered in the shining moonlight. Twilight. Her eyes sparkled with tears and fury. She was elegant in her own way, for her sharp canines grew beyond her bottom lip and her dark black hair surrounded her pale face. Her eyeliner, which was once neat and perfected, was smudged down her cheeks and around her beautiful blue eyes. She shuddered in the cold as the wind blew past her skin, sending a chill through her spine. It was a cold winters night, with only a few days until Christmas. Snow was falling, and a soft, but shivering, breeze crept through the air. The corners of her lips pointed upwards in a small and gentle smile. She held out her hand as the snow dropped on to it, melting as it touched her. She looked up to the bright moon above her. Her eyes were more visible now. Her mascara was still smudged, but it suited her. She smiled at the moon, and she could see that the stars surrounding it were shaped like an irregular heart. Looking at the snow again, she let it drop into her hands and onto her hair, her smile getting bigger and wider. It continued to fall. She giggled as drops fell onto her nose. She began to dance. In circles. Laughing in circles. The snow might have cheered her up tonight, but tomorrow the reality will hit her hard. Snow can’t heal a broken heart. But it can make you feel beautiful.

Thoughts

 

Been having those thoughts lately

Sometimes I wonder if it's all worth it?

Worth me sticking this whole ride out...

 

I've been having those thoughts again

Is it normal for me to think that way?

Somehow, I think I won't find the answer...

 

Those thoughts have taken me over

There's nothing else for me here

There's no reason for me to stick this out

So I will just say good-bye for now...

 

Maybe you can figure out what I'm talking about here...it's inspired partly by the Metallica song 'Fade to Black', one of my favourite songs of all time.

Boredom strikes, again. There's no way i could get the melody i wrote for this into your heads short of recording it, which i'm not prepared to do, but i like it ;D haha. Just imagine it or something.

 

 

i'm a sucker for your secrets,

and the way you make me smile

and the way you dance,

as you hold my hand

and ask if i'm all okay

 

well i'll tell you i'm just fine

and i'll tell you that you're just fine,

as we laugh and we fall,

i'm loving it all

and i'm singing i'm okay

 

i could stand here forever,

i could love you forever,

but circumstance dictates

it's time to say goodbye

so goodbye and goodnight,

but i'm okay.

^That's nice. :)

 

This one's about a subject I'm fascinated with: War, but that isn't a morbid fascination, more to do with the pointlessness of it all...we read a lot of Sassoon in 6th Form English Literature, so this is inspired by his work as well.

 

Pointless Cause

 

The bell tolls on time as always

And off we go into the uncertain future

With a smile on our faces

And a hopeful burden upon our backs

To take up the torch for our peers...

 

So swiftly the notion is shattered

So swiftly our expectations are slain

But still we carry on with our pointless cause

But still we carry on with our pointless cause...

 

The old they say, 'War is hell'

Well they weren't far off

Our time spent here is so fraught

With danger and impending doom

I wonder if it's all worth fighting for...

 

*chorus*

 

Is any of this worth fighting for?

Is any of this worth dying for?

Well I tell you here and now

What I've seen no-one should witness

Apart from those blinded by glory...

 

This isn't worth fighting for

This isn't worth dying for

I won't die, no I won't

Not for this pointless cause!
