Save Your Breath

 

You get one last hit in this little game

thinking i'll go down with nothing but my

pain

 

Now i'm looking in your eyes seeing this

mistake you've made tonight

 

Save your breath cause we're not through

just yet this will be the day you'll soon regret

 

I never would've thought you'd be the one up

here tonight you use to be the one who

could read between the lines well all that

changed over just one night

 

You never let me forget what went wrong in

the past all you want to do is play this little

game hoping i'll go down with nothing but

my shame

 

How long do you think you'll last with this

little game that's called you plan? well

let me be the frist to say your already

through with this little game

 

Save your breath cause we're not through

just yet this will be the day you'll soon regret

 

I never would've thought you'd be the one up

here tonight you use to be the one who

could read between the lines well all that

changed over just one night

:]

Sick of the blind eyes and deaf ears, won't hear what I see

and the larvae we call people wriggling wreckless through society

This is our home and we call it free

so why the fuck are there chains on your hands and feet?

 

Sick of the patterns and the lives on repeat

and the premies who haven't opened their eyes yet to reality

This is our home and we call it free

so rip those self inflicted chains off your hands and feet.

 

uhhhhm. i love you?

It was a manmade hole in a pair of sturdy jeans.

It would take years to really look that way.

I wanted it to look that way.

I mess things up on purpose.

But now it's a huge run in a pair of pantyhose.

It's not even wearable anymore.

Atleast it's not a coverup.

You can see the tears in my skin through the tears in the hose.

Reaching to put the tiny elastic threads back together.

Something that can't be fixed.

Only tangles and torture for fragile fingers who only wanted to help.

My clumsy hands are only a weapon.

And so are yours.

My Heart by Paramore

 

Of the many songs I’ve listened to, the term “Christian Music” you think of Holy songs and the words God, Lord, and Jesus. Some of you may agree some of you may not. I have recently realized that my one favorite song, its meaning, is actually about finding God again, and re-building your relationship with him. As you’re at your breaking point, and you realize you can’t do it alone, and you need the Lord in your life, and that you can’t do it without him, you remember he’s there for you. Though you may have shut him out in your life for a little bit, you know he’s still there, and he’s always willing to forgive, and reconnect you. You yearn for his love, and his comfort, and you realize he’s singing to you, and you’ll sing it back to him now, and your heart, and every breath you take, you’re doing it for him. You finally know how much you need him, and he’s the only one that will get you through, and pull you up, and he’s there for you.

 

Why does this specific song relate to me? At first, I thought it was just a love song, to a boy of something, but then really thinking about it, it had nothing to do with a boy, and I was too blind to see through it. It relates to me, because sometimes it happens to me to, when you’re just so low, and you forget that you’re not alone, and that he’s there, by your side, and you need things to remind you of how you lucky you are to have him. For awhile, I too had shut him out of my life, and yearned for him. I had a feeling that he just wasn’t there, and no matter how much I needed him, I knew he wasn’t going to get me through what ever I was going through. But then I finally realized that, he is there, and he just wanted me to think of what I was doing, he was waiting for me to comeback to him. And I did, because he sang me the song, and now I’m singing it back to him. My heart does beat for him, and only him, and it’ll continue to, for a long time.

 

Describing singing to God in a metaphor might be a little hard. To me, what it means is, Gods’ Word, if you read it, its like lyrics, he’s speaking to you in it, and he’s singing it to you. In order to have that relationship with him, you need to sing back, you need to do it like how he did. Read his words, talk to him, be confident about him, you’re his servant, and you sing to him, and his ears are always open, and he’s listening. And to him, your voice will always be beautiful.

 

 

 

I have included the lyrics to this song, because I want to show you how much it means to me, and it doesn’t have the word “God”, “Lord”, and “Jesus” in it, but it talks about him, and now it’s obvious to me, and the meaning has really hit me.

 

 

 

“I am finding out that maybe I was wrong

that I've fallen down and I can't do this alone

stay with me, this is what I need, please?

 

Sing us a song and we'll sing it back to you

we could sing our own but what would it be without you?

 

I am nothing now and it's been so long

since I've heard the sound, the sound of my only hope

this time I will be listening.

 

Sing us a song and we'll sing it back to you

we could sing our own but what would it be without you?

 

this heart, it beats, beats for only you

this heart, it beats, beats for only you

my heart is yours

this heart, it beats, beats for only you

my heart is yours (my heart, it beats for you)

(please don't go now, please don't fade away)”

^ i actually was on here a couple days ago and read that and i really like it. i thought it was very inspirational. got a little choked up, too.

 

so yeah i was posting in the randomness thread and remembered that i wrote something for a project for my biology class last year and that i really liked it. so uhhm here goes..

 

Light and Cloud

 

Explain to me where we went wrong

Forgive me, for I know the truth

We’re only singing a new song

Excuse me, for I found the tune

 

Must we scream?

The pressure’s reading red

Please turn off that machine

Because it’s all in your head

 

The heart of it speaks

In parable and law

We continue to preach

He is real, you are flawed

 

Must we speak again?

It’s all getting old as the earth

Now don’t get too vain

You fell from the tree at birth

 

Just hope we’re not the same

Who knows where we go from this place?

Fallen from tree or brush

Lifted from leaves or the rust

 

And they told us we would fall

From the highest heights

But our worst fear of all

Was never to see the light

 

Now feel the ground on your skin

Stare up to the sun; were you right?

 

Just hope we’re not the same

Who knows where we go from this place?

Fallen from tree or brush

Lifted from leaves or the rust

 

Were you rust or right?

Did you see the light?

 

Who knows where we go from this place?

 

You will see the light

They will see the light

 

Just hope we’re not the same

Who knows where we go from this place?

Fallen from cloud or rock

Lifted from the crowd or the flock

 

And they told us we would fall

From the highest heights

But our worst fear of all

Was the end of the fight

 

Now feel the flames on your face

Stare down at the sea; were you right?

 

Just hope we’re not the same

Who knows where we go from this place?

Fallen from cloud or rock

Lifted from the crowd or the flock

 

Were you cloud or wrong?

Did you see the shadow falling long?

 

Who knows where we go from this place?

 

You will see the light

They will see the light

 

*Note: the project itself was to make a magazine about Evolution and the poem was supposed to be based on like the creation/evolution debate. so yahhh. that's what it's about. i somehow figured out a way to make it seem lighter and vague, though. so yeahh. that is all.

 

P.S.: sorry it's kinda long.

^ I love that it's really good.

 

Sleep

 

I've walked alone before

It wont be different if you

leave me here tonight

 

All i have to do is follow

Your lies to find my way

back home and i'll do just fine

without you here by my side

 

I've been down this path in

the past i don't need to ask why

your leaving cause i already

know all your lies

 

I'll sleep just fine once

your out of my life I'll survive

if you walk away tonight cause

i can't wait for the truth to

come from you cause i know

you can't live your life without your lies

 

[scream]

Say goodbye for good this time

Sleep without a sound tonight knowing

i'm gonna be fine

 

I'll sleep just fine once

your out of my life I'll survive

if you walk away tonight cause

i can't wait for the truth to

come from you cause i know

you can't live your life without your lies

 

[scream]

Don't waitfor my call tonight

Just sleep tight with your regrets

in your mind

 

^Backround:

Sleep without a sound tonight knowing

i'm gonna be fine

 

[END]

about a fight with my mom's boyfriend...

 

When I fight, I know I'm right, and I always get the last word. I stand my ground until they're specechless and everyone knows I have more to say. Call me a little girl but as my body's tense I feel my transformation to a woman who knows better than you. With your elbow in my face like some kind of barrier. But you won't cry, I will. Does this make me that little girl? She looks back and away from me with sighs like "you're making something out of nothing" but you beckoned me. You'd "go in the room and have that conversation" with me. And I said I'd come in and have it with YOU. These words "I'm not scared" are self reassurance more than sticking up to you. But why should I fear this, I am a little girl and you're the one too weak to fight grown-up battles. With your elbow in my face.

Currently writing this song with a friend of mine, it's not done yet.

 

Have you wondered what the trees would tell the sea,

if the miles of sand didn’t lie in between,

Have you suffered a pain at the base of your neck,

From feeling time rush to your head,

Have you watched the walls fall to the floor,

And asked what’s fallen here before,

Let’s say my words could wake their sleep,

Would all these eyes still see skin deep

 

chorus:

The touch is gone

It fell from my hands

A tear beneath the dream that I had

Stop there’s no cure, I’m a goner for sure

Your chains held my heart to the ground

The Silence in me

The Silence in me

Glass cutting swift at the seams

Intricately…Silencing me

Defending what rests underneath

 

of what is verse2 as of now

Be my guest, throw the first stone if you please

I’ll stand still tied stiffly at the knees

And when I blink, Ill whisper words of pain

So my breath will spite all that remains

This love will slowly then descend

Crushed under time and small remnants

Of what was once a love so full

Turned by the tide of lies so cruel

thats' really good.

 

here's something i wrote a while ago. it's about moving, and pretty much how i felt about, a month or two after it.

 

it feels like you're getting somewhere

but somewhere is really nowhere

the same feeling of being obsolete

gone, alone, forever away

as if you were never tere

floating away into nothingness

becoming even more invisible

in the world of the most visible

people all around you seeing nothing

looking right through you

and you're standing there

feeling so transparent

wanting more but never getting it

reaching, pushing out

yet you hand never touches it

making you feel worse

in the world of the most visible

where you aren't even visible

you aren't even in sight of the person less than an inch away

you aren't even seen by yourself

only felt

only smelt

only heard

but not even that loud

not loud enough for you to be seen

it's as if nothing wants to know you're there

like you can't get out of the shell

in the world of the most visible

the world spinning around

and you're not going with it

you just standing there

wondering why you are all alone

wondering why you are all by yourself

why you can't leave

why you can't spin with the world

the world doesn't care

it doesn't care that you are by yourself

just leave it

just go

in the world of the most visible

there are always people who don't feel visible

they want it most

doing things to feel as visible as ever

only to feel more invisible

can't others see their pain

see that they need the same clarity the rest of us have

they want it

need it

feed off of it

yet no one seems to notice

in the world of the most visible

^ahh i like that. short but sweet. except dark at the same time. ahha. which is why i like it, the contrast between the two lines.

 

i just remembered i still have something in my one profile on AIM, and it's from a while ago. i think at the time i wrote it i was thinking about my uncle, who, in short, is a jerk. except it's not necessarily ALL describing him.. it's more about like substance abuse, i guess? not that i even know that much about it, but what i do know about it is mostly from his example.

 

In retrospect, in retrograde.

Replay images of all past regrets, flipped, turned right side up on retinas receiving too much light. Search through last night's smoked cigarettes and hope for a trace of remembrance. The fingerprints were burned away with ammonia and nicotine, while you sipped away fears and one too many fight scenes. Obscure all lost "possessions" (if you know what i mean), make room for more of your worst bets. Focus on next year's headlines, where the walking dead will march in time with the beating of hearts, shattering glass, and all ticking of hours of the nights past.

Get city hall on line one, here come the coughing fits. Now put on hold all inhibitions, the best is yet to arrive. Float in on all the poisons, the pills ingested that night when it had just begun. Fight through the recognition of what you have become.

All eyes fixed on failure, the latest attempted suicide. But it didn't work quite right this time around the corner, the most sterilized of minds greets you with open doors, closed windows, and padded cells. Congratulations, self-destruction has finally paid off, because, oh, you lived through such hell.

You're just destined for so much better (than what you rightfully deserve)

HopeFull Dreamer

 

Pack your bags and meet

me out back we'll be gone

Fast than you can catch your breath

 

It's just me and you on this

road tonight with the regrets

we need to face and the mistakes

we've made

 

Lets not dream of what could be

cause we'll never face the reality

dreaming away wont help us with

what we need to say

 

Theres nowhere to run and nowhere to

hide it's just me and you with this open sky

 

We can't be hopefull dreamers for the rest

of our lives so just take me hand and hold on

tight cause it's time for us to face the regrets

we made and the miastakes we try to hide

 

Lets not dream of what could be

cause we'll never face the reality

dreaming away wont help us with

what we need to say

 

Theres nowhere to run and nowhere to

hide it's just me and you with this open sky

 

We can't be hopefull dreamers for the rest

of our lives so just take me hand and hold on

tight

I know I am late on this haha....but this is so awesome. :]

 

EDIT: I am curious, is 'My Heart' reall about God? Like has Paramore come straight out and said it? It would make sense but I want concrete evidence before I specifically label it as that.

Destiny's been wrong before

In the depth's of my dreams

I can't take anymore

When life is nothing that it seems

And you wish you could go back

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

We can do this with open arms

Or clenched fists

With your stained red wrists

And my devlish charm

 

Wrote those in class friday lol. Rather short but oh well. :D

 

*Edit: and here is one more..

 

I've seen stars in broad daylight

And heaven in deepest of night

But never eyes like yours

I've heard the hero's plea

And the babys' scream

But never a voice like yours

and I guess I might as well post something I wrote last week

 

This seemingly empty desk

is not as it appears

my eyes scour a blank surface scarred and scratched in bitterness

in reality papers are scattered, scrapped and saved

It's crowded with former and future stress

failed dreams and disappointments

offers and refusals

notes and schedules neglected and ignored

and if I looked at these contents

I'd realise I'm on the same ambitionless road as you

 

we'll laugh it out.

9 months to load a gun or pull the trigger on my life

9 months of fun or 9 months of strain

months of lifelessness for future gain

we'll laugh it out

 

Fucking up is only easy for you to do

So easy for you to judge me when I do

You brought me down here

now what do you want with me?

Nothing?

says so - the room's absence of you

seeking revenge on false information

jumping to conclusions and resorting to persuasion

 

we'll laugh it out.

9 months following you down this road

9 months of you getting better and leaving me alone

not knowing how to get back home

we'll laugh it out

 

you won't call me until tomorrow,

with details of your night

read through your eyes the smile in your mind

upon hearing the lack of mine

we'll laugh it out.

*joins the fun*

Everything i've read here is amazing :o Gah ! What am i to do.

 

Mmmkay, right, lets make it clear that what i'm about to write isn't supposed to be any good, i need some crit to help please ?

If it's shit, i want to hear it, preferably with why it's shit and some tips on how to improve, but i need to hear it all the same.

...Of course, if it's any good, go mad and let me know ;)

 

1.

I hope you don't catch cold

From that glance you shot me yesterday

I hope you don't believe

In what I thought you said

I'm running away from what I'd left behind

A memory that time can't fade away

 

-Chorus-

So let's gather round before our dreams

And believe those lies we used to tell ourselves

Shoot me down dead with your eyes, tonight

Before we forget how to survive on our own

All alone

 

I hope those daggers fell short

'Cause that stare was laced with murder

I hope you don't mean anything

In that last love song I read

I've fallen behind the last train home

I'll never make it back afterall

 

Shatter the skies

Through your broken eyes

Forget what it is to forgive

And tell me it's gonna be fine

Just tell me you're gonna be fine
