pardon me, but the imprint you left

and the footprint stepped is not quite as

perfect as imagined.

traitors fell for your voice;

i'll fall for your eyes

and you'll fall at my feet.

 

i swallowed your pride when

your throat was too dry,

i took the blow and the black eye

when you asked,

who's weaker ? don't ask

who knows.

 

the buildings that fell from your gaze,

the lives you changed and helped and failed,

you're not enough.

i screamed so you'd hear;

passion is voiceless,

your voice is passionless

 

we're all hopeless till we leave

and the world will fall at my feet.

 

 

:shifty:

wow.

ok someone told me this sounded like twilight but i havent read it so i dont know but anyway

 

tell me the words you spoke that night.

The words that changed everything.

At the time when our hearts were young and naive.

Tell me the story that we shared.

The story that stills runs through my mind.

Sing me the song we wrote with both our words combined.

Now the words "the end" have been written.

They have been set in stone.

We are living in two seperate worlds.

Not one we can call home.

I'm so excited this thread exists, I actually have these two songs copywrited =] I would absolutly love to hear what you guys think!

 

Here's to what they say Lyrics © 2008, Bethany U.

heres to what they say

come and go you're never the same

i wanna let you know

that im lost without you baby

wont you come back inside

 

it was you and me all i had

burned every bridge i built

and i never looked back

you promised me you would be here

and you just walked away

 

AND they were wrong when they told me

you never know what you got - till its gone

cause i knew exactly what i had

i guess it turns out im not

oh-kay

 

 

did anything to please you

every possible way

then you came with the news

i remember the day

 

you played it like you were hurting

but it was all so fake

 

and then the lies and decieving

could you feel me break

my heart couldnt see

and my eyes couldnt take

cause

it was too much to handle

and this is all i can say

 

 

WELL they are wrong when they tell you

you'll never know what you've got - till its gone

because they just havent been here

to feel all that i say

and theres no way to handle

each and every day, but move on ...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Concrete Girl © 2008, Bethany U.

 

So you build yourself up

Just to tear yourself down

Or maybe give up

No one would make a sound

 

You're made up of pretense

At least that's what they say

You walk with your chin up

Only to hide your face

 

Well you got what you wanted

Or maybe you didn't want it at all

Woah concrete girl

I'm watching you fall

 

 

But hey there it's alright

Drive up one block and make a right

And hey there it's ok

Tell yourself its not your fault

Keep moving forward at this glacial crawl

 

So you carpe diem every chance you get

Seize the day with no regrets

Your life's a typo with no delete

An it's been a while since you stood on your feet

 

So you take in each breath

And you caution each step

You're hanging onto hope

And questioning regret

 

Just fine the right words

And sing them out loud

At last I think we did it

And this is how it sounds

 

So hey there it's alright

Drive up one block and make a right

Concrete girl it's ok

Tomorrows waiting, a brand new day

I'm just have to write these names down: Chris, Jorgi, James, Maddie and Bethany.

You guys made my day. Does it exist better or more amazing lyrics than that? I don't think so. Soo, give it up for yourself. I am clapping my hands for your gloriousness.

 

Anyway, this is a song, or poem, thing, I wrote about The Tsunami in Asia 2004 so, I hope you like it..

 

The Wave

 

 

In the snap of a finger

The wave moved closer

High and big it stretched back

Nobody knew it would make

Everything fade

 

In a crowd of screams

Everybody started running

Most of them would later on

End up gone

 

When the wave fell in

Higher and higher

Chasing everything

Destroying everything in its way

 

The walls of the house

Torn apart

A child's toy laying

Far from home

 

After disaster he searched

Starving because time's falling

Finding something, not someone

Two of his own struck by the wave

Already found his wife, not in life

But not those two

 

And what did I do

Nothing because I couldn't move

Feeling the sorrow

Crawl under my skin

Now when I think about it

The numbness was nearly not there

But yet I didn't move

 

Safe in the other end of the world

The age of ten

The sorrow just passing me by

 

Now I shed my tears

Writing things down

Can't stop thinking

What I could have done

:D Hah, You're probably my favorite person here. So cool.

 

 

I was reading that to "Change - Deftones" and it was epic.

 

I read it again without and it's just so different. A different picture is painted.

 

:D

This thread is just made of win, you guys, seriously. It had a lapse where i wasn't convinced (because i'm bitchy and critisize-y and whatnot-y (i include myself in this, by the way)) but it's been pulled up. The bar has been raised and whatnot. Kudos, kids !

 

 

 

in other news

disaster struck so cautiously

we never heard a sound.

afraid, i was amazed, i was ashamed

bt i'm aware,

that this was always the end.

i won't pretend, i won't perform, i will proceed;

this is perfection.

 

tension was knee-deep

and tempers were frayed

i'm afraid this is how it ends

it ends tonight.

 

excitement knew no bounds

until you came along.

enthralled, i was enticed, i was effective

but i'm emotional

and you don't feel a thing.

so i won't fight, i won't forget, i will forgive;

this is freedom.

Try to imagine this one as a piano-ballard thingy, which gets a bit heavier during the chorus/bridge sections. :)

 

Surface

 

When you look in my eye

What do you see staring back?

Do you see your deepest desire?

Or maybe your worst fears?

But you don't know for certain

Because I'm no open book...

 

*Chorus*

On the surface I look innocent

But dig a little deeper

And meet my inner monsters

Below the surface I'm not your hero

Just a complete stranger...

 

When you hold me close

What do you feel in me?

Do you feel calming warmth?

Or do you sense something darker?

But you can't tell for sure

Because no-one can read me...

 

*chorus*

 

You've worked it out

That I'm not what I seem

Kind, understanding and gentle

Not words that apply to me

Look for a more sinister edge

For your words instead

Something that's a better fit

To this damaged soul you tend to...

 

*chorus to end*

 

:shifty:

I call this song "Voids"

 

 

Voids

Hey morning bird

 

Bring myself back to the start

 

For you'll bring the end

 

Just once

 

Will you shine for me

 

Show mw what I'm missing

 

Aquitted of the crime I try again

 

No, dont speak tonight

 

Not again

 

 

 

--- You got me scared

 

Tight on breathing

 

Sorry, can you feel it?

 

Either deceive or believe

 

Just walk away (I wont even try)

 

 

 

Hold me closer and pull me away

 

I will not stay

 

NO, WAKE UP

 

I'm on the other side of bliss

 

I can't care less what happens here

 

Tell me this is over

 

I don't wanna know

 

My heart is racing again

 

Beating twice the normal rate

 

I cant fall asleep

 

(with you scattered all over my mind)

 

Just no more empty faith

 

---

 

Filled up with nore more faith

 

Never seems to amaze my embrace

 

Centering my "Shoulda" "Coulda" "Woulda" way

 

I cant be called a saint, not deserving

 

Over and over again

 

Can't fight this welcoming disease

 

Your're better than me

 

Let's try again

 

I really miss these feelings

 

That I'll never have again

 

I can remember that

 

---

 

Redemption (in the eyes of God)

 

When reborn, I'll be in Hell

 

No longer worthy

 

Redemption (in the eyes of my heart)

 

When failed, I'll be in Hell

 

Falling apart

 

I swore it would end

 

But I can't stop

 

Wont stop

 

Leaves of Autumn seem to leave me

 

Again and again

 

Once again

 

Can I please forgive myself

 

After my apology, NO

 

---

 

Lashing out

 

Speaking loud enough to hear you

 

Dazed within myself

 

Crowded with disease

 

Lashing out, LASHING OUT

 

Crowded with disease

 

Only within me

 

Lashing out, LASHING OUT

 

Disease us forsaken within me

 

Lashing out at you

 

But all I know

 

---

 

Still so scared

 

Lost within

 

I love you

 

Let me in

your morning breath

tastes just like regret,

and i'm trapped beneath the way

you said you loved me.

i far preferred your lips,

to the words that hide behing them

and that sharp tongue

that scratches and scathes

in more ways than one.

 

i'm quite convinced i'm lost,

i could swear you were once home,

but there's not heart to be found here, anymore

and the walls are crumbling;

your gaze faltered,

i must have been mistaken, afterall.

 

despite you, i spite you,

what a sight to

behold.

^ Thank you, I'm gonna recod myself playing it tommorrow after some practice.

 

I wanna hear it :willy_nilly:

 

------

 

Some poems or whatever that I've written..

 

My naked heart is crying

You swore that you loved me

But tore me upen and left

What shall I do when love comes next

 

--

 

We are helpless

Against the splatter

When the pieces

Fall to the ground

 

The sound is unstoppable

The pain is unforgettable

 

The day when your own heart breaks

Is the beginning of a new day

When you'll learn to think

When you'll not be blind again

Atleast not until the next love comes along

 

 

:) feedback please?

Ah, I wrote a poem, but it sucks. >.<

 

Fire

My fire will flicker,

my fire will die,

and as soon as the fog gets thicker,

my fire quenches from the that tears I cry.

No light from the moon,

to guide my night,

my fire is gone,

where's my light?
