Who am i to you?

Another friend that you

like to talk to?

or am i the person

the you can't get out

of your thoughts?

I've been thinking

could this be?

no it can't.

Friendships should stay friendships.

Shouldn't they?

Shouldn't they

The feeling of confusion over takes me.

What should i do?

I wish i had the answer' date='

then life would be much simpler

 

I wish knew what to do,

I wish i knew what to say

Are the feelings here?

or will they just go away?

If only

If only

If only i knew

 

Your words they stick

to me like glue

Try to wash it away,

but it just stays.

My thoughts run through

my mind at 100 miles per hour

SLOW DOWN!

I scream,

but it goes unheard.

Is this a chance i should take?

or a another "first"

i should skip?

 

I wish i knew what to do

I wish i knew what to say

Are the feelings here?

or will they just go away?

If only...

I wish i knew what to do

I wish i knew what to say

Are the feelings here?

or will they just go away?

if only...

if only

 

A song written in confusion,

A song written with emotion

A song written about you

 

I wish i knew what to say

Are the feelings here?

or will they just go away?

 

If only i knew,

if only we both knew....[/quote']

 

hmm

that song would be pretty cool with some screaming.. haha

Here's me in a stormdrain somewhere down my street

Here's me not wanting saved or feeling trusting

Here's me, eyes inches away from waking lives of the city

Here's me wanting reassurance and not pity

Here's me letting the murky water rise up me slowly

Here's me letting go without knowing

Here's me, eyes inches away from waking lives of the city

Here's me wanting reassurance and not pity

 

Scared to go out and fake a smile for anyone again

want to destroy this burden before it comes down so suddenly again

Now everyone's got someone but me

Confused Of What To Do

Confused about my life.

Wondering. Thinking.

Wishing that you didn't live so far away,

but still in teh same state.

Do ages really matter?

They're just numbers ona number line,

that determines our whole lives.

If my <3 stopped,

would everything be ok?

Would all the pain and confusion be taken away?

I'm trying, I feel like i've already failed.

^Thats how I felt last night.

Nicely put into words! Good job.

 

Remember

 

Remember when I used to smile

Life was fun to me

Remember when I didn’t care

And this was just a dream

 

Remember when I was a good girl

And everything felt right

Remember my old perfect world

Where no one ever cried

 

*I remember I remember

How we said this would never happen

I said id never bleed

And you promised the same

Make a deal promise me

You wont leave me for my mistakes

 

Remember when I fell down

I struggled getting up

Remember how I lost it

And didn’t know how to stop

 

Remember all our memories

Of dying together

I remember laying here

Not believing it'd get better

 

*

 

Remember what we said

We'd catch each others fall

And here we are stuck

Between each others walls.

This is what happens, when I land myself into trouble. fun fun..

 

Against the rules

 

“Get out of my way” you said

“I don’t need you here right now”

“Your whole life is pretty sad”

“And don’t you dare writing this down”

 

Sorry mum, Im gonna have to be a bad girl

Ill do everything wrong and crush your world

But wait, isn’t that exactly what I already do?

I love messing things up especially for you

 

*This is a lovely beginning of a new end for me

Im all the things you never wanted me to be

Youre losing control and Im watching you fall

Too tired to fix you up with a new wall

Im not a hero, don’t expect me to save you

Im far from perfect, and sometimes I go against the rules

 

I want what I cant have

So I find other ways to feel this hole

I need that little bit of attention

I cant find at home

 

Besides a different location nothing much has changed

Screaming and yelling, yeah we’re still the same

Im back where I was, thirteen again

We can be okay, but it’s usually a nightmare

 

*

 

“Your apologies never mean a thing”

Okay then mum, Im not so sorry, I don’t give a shit

“You’re a horrible person, I knew you never cared”

I truly am sorry mum, you still have no clue who I am..

Try

 

I wonder if you wonder

What you’ve gotten yourself into

I wonder if you’re put off

When you hear the things I’ve been through

I wonder if you think I’m weak

Or think that I’m a mess

I wonder if I tell you more

If you’ll think of me less

 

There’s comfort in your presence

There’s comfort in your touch

There’s comfort in words, but I fear

I may have said too much

I’m at a standstill

At a halt

And it’s entirely my fault

But if you’re not frightened away

I know that I can try today

 

I wonder if you see me

As something that you’re stuck with now

I wonder if you’d leave me

If you could only find out how

I wonder if you think I’m not

Worth the trouble I cause

I wonder if this thing we’ve got

Might have too many flaws

 

There’s comfort in your presence

There’s comfort in your touch

There’s comfort in words, but I fear

I may have said too much

I’m at a standstill

At a halt

And it’s entirely my fault

But if you’re not frightened away

I know that I can try today

 

I’m trying, I’m trying

Every day

Not lying, not lying

Don’t run away

 

There’s comfort in your presence

There’s comfort in your touch

There’s comfort in words, but I fear

I may have said too much

I’m at a standstill

At a halt

And it’s entirely my fault

But if you’re not frightened away

I know that I can try today

 

I’m trying, I’m trying

Every day

Not lying, not lying

Don’t run away

Sinking Ships and Small Hellos

 

There were things we started but never began,

 

Drowning in our sorrows hardly helped.

 

Neither did the sleepless nights or countless days.

 

Sinking ships never sail even with a heavy wind.

 

How did we come to this, we’re only polite smiles and small hellos.

 

 

 

(CHORUS) And we’ve tried so hard to get this right, maybe the next time around.

 

Help us cause we’ve done it again.

 

We fell into the pit we dug for someone else.

 

Take us back to before this began, to the times we stayed and never ran.

 

 

 

Pretending we lived close enough, though we hardly did at all never fooled anyone.

 

We look at the same sky but different heavens.

 

Sinking ships never sail even with a captain.

 

How did we come to this, we’re only blank stares and awkward silences.

 

(CHORUS)

 

Are you ready to give up and start again,

 

Or throw it all away with repetitive sorrys.

 

(CHORUS)

Just read through the majority of this thread and wanted to tell everyone who posted something that it's excellent. I thought everything I read was very creative and unique. Thanks for the good reading! 8-)

 

I write a little bit myself and would appreciate some feedback, thanks guys! 8D

 

______________________________

 

This is about a suicide

-------------------------

Its unreal

The pain I feel

No where to turn

For this answer I burn

 

What brought you to this

You've made my life amiss

Did you only think of yourself

What about everyone else

 

This, I can not bear

Do you even care

Your gone now

I still don't understand how

 

The damage is done

But it feels like it has just begun

I wish I could erase

But instead I must embrace

 

Its real

The pain I feel

 

______________________________

 

Sitting in St. Jude's, waiting to have blood taken, lol.

----------------------------

Sitting alone, alone, so alone

With a quiet mind

But then I fall into the unknown

This pounding makes me blind

 

I'm screaming from inside

I can't figure out why

I feel I have to hide

All I want to do is cry

______________________________

 

Clock ticking

Fan spinning

Mind troubled

Life crumbled

 

Certainty gone

Confusion dawns

Answers dead

Heart shred

______________________________

 

Looking at the sky

Letting out a long sigh

Lying so still

Such a thrill

 

Whole body in sync

Feel my chest sink

Then rise up again

And down falls the rain

 

Drops slowly streaming down my cheek

The grass so sleek

Clothes clinging to my skin

Close my eyes and spin

____________________________

 

Do you ever see something in someone

And it just shines like the sun

You don't know what's there

And you can't help but stare

 

As if they are holding onto something swell

Like their own personal wishing well

With one smile

They make everything feel worthwhile

 

I look at you

And it's true

Your one of them

Like a gem

 

In you, I see so many things

And I imagine you with wings

Because I know you can fly

So high into the sky

"Box Of Old Photos"

Copywrited: Me.

 

"Box Of Old Photos"

Copywrited: Me.

 

I was searching in my box of old photos

I came upon a picture,that used to make me smile

But now it brought tears filled with envy

All of us smiling,so happy to be living

what happends when they fade away?

When the room is silenced and nothing to say

And the memories deteriorate

I feel like i’ve lost you,and the smiles are gone...

 

 

Let's go back two years

Reminisce on jokes that don't make sense

I wish I payed attention,

and didn't take it for granted

I want to feel alive to be with you everyday

and not feel awkward when I say ‘I love you’

Everything seems so black and white

my throat is sore and so unused

It collected dust with all the lies

‘i’m fine really’ was overused.

 

 

I want us back to what we used to be

a happy family,can’t you see?

All of our smiles are way too fake

All are problems were left un-attended

I wish you could see

how happy we were

when all of us felt alive...

 

 

 

I wanna smile when searching

in my box of old photos

Hey guys

Heres a song i wrote for Hayley. I passed this to her when i met her just 40 hours ago lol.

 

Here is goes

 

Avalon Dreams Collide

 

Verse 1

This day begins like any other, with feelings pertaining to a greater hope.

A hope ingrained in my soul through still frames and moving pictures.

Frames a heart would live in, with pictures skipping a beat.

A comfort I confide in, your aura that surrounds me, the sincerity of your heart.

 

Verse 2

Committing to the depth of these feelings with subtle daylight above.

The fossils of a lesser past, whose pallor coincides with this present day.

A distinction blurred by our worlds apart.

With clarity unseen even till death do us part.

 

Chorus

Staring into emeralds with your crimson glory glowing from the halo.

Your voice clearing disillusions of this mirage in which I live.

Loving who you are and what you do, frankly everything I know about you.

Will this unison be broken, as we leave to our lives, before even meeting you, our dreams collide.

 

Verse 3

Laying here today, stargazing to this pipe dream of the past.

A past where our lives intertwined, my shoulder there for you in hard times.

Times that were meant to be, standing by you even when you’ve fallen down.

The door swinging both ways, with our world’s together, bliss by paramour.

 

Bridge

But as these curtains close, the Avalon takes absence.

Running to you at the end of this tunnel, my heroine, Hail Mary.

Can’t leave you without saying goodbye, my existence holding me back.

This love or reality? Take your pick Ren, Hayley I will love you till eternity’s end.

 

Outro

This day ends like any other, with feelings pertaining to a greater hope.

A hope ingrained in my soul, knowing that you’re around.

Knowing you’ll never jump the shark, the ocean waves of the industry.

Nostalgia for remembrance, Love for countless lifetimes.

 

Ren

Title:Miss Independant.

Copyrighted:ME.

About: How one of my friends got into weed after telling me that she was herself and not going to follow the crowd.

 

 

My,my,my Miss.Independant.

Oh how much you have grown.

Hello there Miss.Independant.

Who makes those decisions for you now?

Criss-cross imitations on the phone.

Your incharge now,

don’t let the world swallow you whole

 

 

 

 

Silver over gold,

go do what your told.

I make my decisions now...

Right?

Offer still stands

take it or not

Unsurety of your answer,

Now that’s just fabulous

Everyone else is doing it

well hello miss independant.

 

 

 

My,my,my Miss.Flip-flopper

I never would have known

hide it under the floor board

Should have never left you alone

I bow to you know sweet talker

oh how much you have grown.

Who makes the decision?

Honey dripped collisions

 

 

 

 

 

my,my,my Miss.Hypocrite

the artificial flavor

where did you go oh miss independant?

My,my,my Miss.Pretender

My hardest contender

But now you surrender?

Hello weed.

Now go ahead,proceed

and set away your dreams

goodbye friends

goodbye life

 

My,my,my miss.Hypocrite,oh how much you have grown.

Universe

The sun is just a mask for whatever’s underneath

In all its bright light, it’s the thing that keeps us cool

When I say keep smiling, I mean that thing upon your face

It gives you time to step away, cause it has everybody fooled

 

What is this game we’re playing across the known universe?

I say and monkey heads into the wrong direction

Monkey falls, monkey fails and blames me for getting hurt

Did you really expect me to apologize for some stupid recognition?

 

I can see you’re scared but you feed yourself the fear

Of failing other people more than yourself

You’re drifting off but I need you to hurry home to me

Because I have to tell you, you’re the only truth I’ve met

 

You are a unique definition of life, but the words you say

Implant a big smile on my face and it won’t go away

If you need me I’ll come running, if I have to, I’ll tell you twice

I want to give you my heart instead of selling you lies

 

I’ll try to stay true to whatever it is I’m saying

I’ll try to grow and only get better

I’ll try till I get what it is I deserve

Someone to know across the unknown universe.

^Thank you.

 

Lying was the only thing we both knew how to do

 

I don't want to be your world, only the words inside your head

That keep you from failing the things you said

And the things you do, make one whole story

About that one papercut, that cut way too deep

And now you don't know how to heal again

Unless it's all a play and you're the greatest actress

I guess you're the greatest actress cause every time I tried

To fix you, you cried, don't you know you were supposed to smile?

And every time you said you loved me it seemed real

Pretty lies you told, but at least they were meant for me

I remember looking at you, but I saw nothing at all

Even your shadow ran away from your wall

Do you recall that one time, when you promised you'd take care of me?

Instead you ran away as hard as you could and let me bleed

I heard a weak "sorry", said I'd believe it if you'd believe it too

But I lied and walked away from a person I never really knew.

Walk Away (Don't look back this time)

 

Don't look back now that you start to -

Walk away Don't feel like what your doing -

Is a mistake -

 

Walking away from here wont be your fear -

Staying where you are will end up a regret for

You -

 

Don't look back cause you'll be alright -

Don't feel like walking away Isn't right -

 

We know coming back isn't what you want -

So just walk away don't worry

About leaving us Behind -

Cause we'll do just fine so

Be on your way now

And don't look back this time -

 

Leaving here you know is right -

So pack your bags tonight and be -

On your way this time -

Just know either way we'll still be here -

By your side So walk away and don't look -

Back this time -

ok so ive been writing for my friends band for a while now, unfortunately theyre a metal band so i dont usually have very deep lyrics.. if u know what i mean lol.. anyways this weekend i started working on a song a little and i finally finished my rough sketch of it.. its basically about the weekend altogether as it was surreal to say the least.. its definitely not one for my friends band so i figured id share it with u guys.. anyways tell me what u all think and let me know what i could to make it better.. its pretty good so far tho.. i think..

 

 

"Little children learning to fly"

 

Intro -

 

And I wish you were all here

To witness my descent

 

Verse -

 

Lift me up on high

As I fall from this 14th story balcony

The city is so bright with lights

Oh, the beauty.. Deaf to my fear of heights

And in a moment of true bliss

I pray the Gods one last wish (kiss)

 

Chorus -

 

Listen, listen to that thing in your chest little boy

Share with us your deepest thought and joy

Falling deep and far beyond what you all know

Plummeting to the point of no return

And so in his final destination

This child simply takes it all in

 

Verse -

 

Broken hearts led me to this treasure

X marks the spot

The spot I will soon alight

I can see the fog rolling in

Off in the distance, and as it gets closer

I wish I could take you all in my heart

 

Bridge -

 

Come with me now

Blood, sweat and tears have now passed on

Hold my hand, feel my heart and in these few moments

Keep me alive

 

Final Verse -

 

Purple and pink lights with tints of red

Light up the sky, invade my mind

Twisting and falling, the colors begin to blur

But this is reality, never to awake

The boy takes one last look at himself

In a mirror which has haunted for years

And as I gaze back at the young boy

I smile, turn out the light and continue on my way

 

(Repeat Chorus X2)

 

So here I am

Learning to fly once again
