[MeLoN]

Words

These scars will never leave my heart

But they have left my arms

So you don’t have to worry

Life will be alright

Ill make sure I look pretty

Dying by your side

And when I go Ill tell them what they want to hear

Everything’s my fault, every single tear

Are you all ok now knowing Ill take your lies

And you will never have to answer any of my cries

It’ll be silent by the bridge I used to try&cross

Every time I tried it'd turn into a game I always, always lost

That sparkle in your eyes told me more than you ever did

Your pain and all the secrets the story that'd never fit

They say the sound hurts their ears

It hurts like you hurt me dear

When you stabbed me right through my back

&said my heart wasn’t worth the knife

When I dared you not to pretend

You ran and said I wasn’t worth your time

But I still carry the broken life you offered me

Trying so hard to believe you never wanted me

We seemed real back then

&Id live because I can I can

Here I am, all alone, in the middle of the night

Its dark outside but bright inside

I don’t need you anymore, all those words

All those words are yours and sound so wrong

All those words are meant to be a twisted song

All these words,, they’re meant to be mine

One by one you'll see them smile.

[Rogue Ninja]

Thank You (Mom and Dad)

 

Half of my life is yours

Half is of your Love

Both of you stand behind me

When the world gives a shove

The world tries to push me back

You help guide me forwards

Never knew what lit the way

Now I know it was your words

 

Your being’s in my body

Your blood is in my heart

In everything that I am now

You both have played a part

You gave me so much of yourselves

More than I ever knew

I don’t know if you hear me

But mom and dad, thank you

 

What I’ve learned of both of you

Through stories or first hand

I’ll keep inside my soul

And be a better man

If I don’t smile, don’t be sad

Hope you’ll be pleased to know

The happiness I’ve found in life

Is more than I can show

 

Your being’s in my body

Your blood is in my heart

In everything that I am now

You both have played a part

You gave me so much of yourselves

More than I ever knew

I don’t know if you hear me

But mom and dad, thank you

 

I never knew you like I could have

Never asked when I should have

I know you now

I know you now

I know you’re with me now

 

Your being’s in my body

Your blood is in my heart

In everything that I am now

You both have played a part

You gave me so much of yourselves

More than I ever knew

I don’t know if you hear me

But mom and dad, thank you

[MeLoN]

Two pretty cheesy things I had to get off of my mind.

 

1)

 

Dont you know

 

Behind your wall theres someone else

Someone I dont know

Behind those eyes I see myself

And the side Ive never shown

 

Someones clipped my wings

But Im still flying

Said all those stupid things

And Im not dying

 

*Im falling down but Im alive

Failing again with a smile

Cause whats the point in living if I cant be alive

Im still me when I cry

But why is it so hard for you to see

This life isnt such a hell, its pretty easy

 

I can hug you and feel you walk away

I can see you smiling and know youre not ok

Behind the silly girl theres a person they dont know

But you always laugh it off and say its time to go.

 

Youre always on the edge of saying goodbye

Walking off, walking out with a smile

But nothing here is real

It is never how you feel

 

*

 

Pretty easy dont you know..

 

2)

 

Life is like that

 

You wrote me a letter

Filled with kind words

About good and the better

In all of its joy

 

You smiled and showed me a note

It said love for MCC

Written by someone I want to know

Meant for a person called me

 

*This secret is the cause of my smile

And everything around me

I sort of like the way we hide

And never share the story

Not because we want to but because we cant

Life is just a lie like that

 

You saw me when I didnt see myself

Staring in the mirror searching for life

I saw you crawling out of your shell

Finally understanding the language inside your mind

 

Im teaching you to teach me how to smile

Youre showing me exactly how to be alive

We know we're lost but we'll be found

I dont see us going down

 

*

[I Run With Scissors]

Beauty becomes the Beast

 

She says her lips are paper thin,

So they inject some collagen

Now she’s got the perfect pout

Always pushing her lips out

 

But to me they look so fake.

I think she’s made a big mistake

She used to have the cutest smile

But now her lips just stretch for miles,

 

Chorus

She’s so pretty,

But she doesn’t believe me

She’s so pretty,

Still she changes everything,

She wants to change her skin

And everything within

But she shouldn’t change a thing.

Oh please don’t change a thing…

 

Now she looks at her flat chest

And she wants some bigger breasts

Inflated from a B

Straight to a double D

 

But to me they look so fake,

I think she’s made a big mistake

I used to love her slender figure

But to me she’s just disfigured

 

Chorus

 

Now even your own mother,

Can’t pick out her only daughter

Who’s that girl in the mirror?

Do you even recognize her?

 

Now she realises she’s a fake

She knows she’s made a big mistake

She breaks down in blackened tears

From all of her mascara smears

 

Chorus

[Guitar x Dude 7]

I still havent been able to come up with a title for this one yet. i wrote it a month or two ago, im still not totally happy with it. i want to re-write the first verse and part of the second. but the rest is pretty ok (at least i think so )

 

*Opens on a short chord progression using strummed octaves*

 

Verse-

Sometimes, the words we think

are louder when we speak

sometimes there all but silent

sometimes there nothing more

 

When will you see?

where i want to be

is not

where im at

right now

 

Chorus-

Your world's rosier at the

bottom of your glass

I need help to get through this

cause, lord im sinkin fast

 

Bridges are burning

 

Ties are being cut

 

Im fearing

and screaming

in words

unspoken,

 

Verse-

I cant take the lies,

or the sacreligion

dont try to talk

i refuse to listen

 

Its a vicious cycle

thats how its seeming

this vicious cycle

wont leave you breathing,

 

(no-no-no)

 

----------

chorus

----------

 

Bridge-

You always said,

always said,

*always said* <-------whispered

I swear i'll try

I swear i'll get better

I swear i'll try

i swear i'll get better

Imagine what,

we could weather

you be the liar

you always were

and ill be the

thorn in your side

 

(no-no-no)

 

no-no-no

 

*Acoustic break*

 

-----------

Chorus

-----------

 

Alt. Chorus-

bottom of your glass

help me get through this

lord, im sinking fast

sink-ing fast

 

im burning

 

im cutting dry

cut-ting dry

 

everything i thought i wanted

 

thought i wan-ted

 

-----------

chorus

-----------

 

*plays about half of the original melody and ends abrubtly*

 

please be honest,my writing style has changed alot since i wrote this song, ill get some new stuff posted as soon as i finish some.

[Fire At Will]

good stuff people = )

i like everything ive seen up here

honestly

[benzzz]

^ Yes i agree

 

They are all really good

[MeLoN]

This whore/barbie pissed me off. Thats what this is about..haha!

 

A liars call

The world turns black as I hold my breath

And try to close my eyes

Lips keep moving they say I cant

So why did I even try?

 

Its like a bird flying high up in the sky

Singing "Im up here and youre down there cause you cant fly"

"Everyone be as jealous as you can,,Im free"

Well I dont like it when people look down on me

 

So you can walk your little world

Go around and around

But dont think you can fool us

We'll take your pretty face down

And show those little stalkers who you really are

A messed up kind of 3rd world war

 

I apologize: our stories simply dont fit

Next thing you know Ill take your make up kit

And throw it right back in your face

Cause your mask is pretty but your heart when down the drain

 

I feel sorry for you dear, youre acting all day long

You try and you try but you still do it wrong

You like to believe we want to be you

But gosh are you wrong we're proud and uncool

 

You're not worth my 3rd world war

Or anything they say you are

But with todays sense youll always be

What the liar call "better than me"

[benzzz]

^ Thats great. I hate those kinda people your talking about

[MeLoN]

^I dont hate them. I just find them pathetic little monsters =]. But wait..Thats kinda the same thing.

[FeRo]

lol. its good mel

[MeLoN]

Your end

 

I lost the key to reality

Stuck in dark reverse

Watching someone called me

Falling down, getting hurt

 

I see you slipping away

But I cant lend a helping hand this time

Locked behind bars

Im watching you die

 

*And its so hard to see you run off

To a place I dont know

Wondering what youre thinking of

Cause your eyes wont show

They closed down like the rest of them

Dying just to get to the end

 

Would you follow me if I couldnt follow you?

Wander off without me if id tell you to?

Even if your mind's blocked would you try to understand?

All the small things buckled up inside my head?

 

If everyone else thinks Im crazy would you think the same?

If I walk this road would you go the other way?

Are you scared of me because I am?

Would you fly with me just because I can?

 

*

 

Do you know where Ill be when youre gone?

I dont & Im scared ill end up wrong

Do you put all your trust in this girl

When she walks off without you into the real world

[Rogue Ninja]

I like it, Mel. Nice use of questions.

 

 

Where Are You?

 

Lost in a moment

Stuck on a feeling

Clinging to thoughts

That don’t set my mind reeling

Gripping a hand

But it’s only my own

Surrounded by myself

Completely alone

 

Where are you? I’m waiting

It’s dark and it’s cold

The fire inside grows dim as it grows old

Where are you? I’m dying

Right where you can see

Why aren’t you here

Where you said you would be?

 

At ease for a minute

In fear for an hour

Flipping the switch

But getting no power

Hearing a voice

But it’s all in my head

The living more silent

Than even the dead

 

Where are you? I’m waiting

It’s dark and it’s cold

The fire inside grows dim as it grows old

Where are you? I’m dying

Right where you can see

Why aren’t you here

Where you said you would be?

 

I’ve waited so long but you haven’t appeared

And so I wait on alone and in fear

But even if tonight brings relentless sorrow

I’ll still be out here waiting for you tomorrow

 

Where are you? I’m waiting

It’s dark and it’s cold

The fire inside grows dim as it grows old

Where are you? I’m dying

Right where you can see

Why aren’t you here

Where you said you would be?

[SingMeASong]

TITLE:Words Left Unsaid

Verse one.

 

actions speak louder then words

Ignorance leave deep scars

Even when i build up a wall

it gets shattered in a second

Did my question mean anything to you?

My question unanswered is breaking the skin

 

CHORUS

Did you ever conside how it felt

to lie in your bed in silence at night

memories of you end on a sour note

Did you even consider how much it hurt?

 

 

VERSE TWO

 

iv’e been waiting so long for you to appear

footsteps getting closer

I’m starting to crumble like stepped on roses

my hope fades as your door closes

 

 

 

CHORUS

Did you ever conside how it felt

to lie in your bed in silence at night

memories of you end on a sour note

Did you even consider how much it hurt?

 

 

I need something to hold on to,can it be you?

you’ve got me on the edge of a knife

I can’t pretend this is real life

My hands are slipping off this cliffhanger

someone tells me this story isn’t over

the avoided subject is collecting dust

on the verge of breaking wake me up

please don’t don’t keep me hoping for tomorrow

I cannot live like this suffering in my bed

Waiting for the answer that was left unsaid

[benzzz]

All Is Well Again.

[conspiracy]

^^^ I like it a lot. Love sensory details... though I can never seem to write a piece with them. I don't like the people I know to know what/who I write about.

 

I know exactly what he wants

and that's all that he will take

Should I surrender my heart

if it should only break?

Do anything to please him

Make countless mistakes

Soothing my yearning heart

to deal with future aches

Giving him what he desires

To see him by my side

Revitalize my comatose heart

to watch it throb and die

Feelings grow crazy and stronger

soul defeats mind

No longer rational

I don't know why I try

[MeLoN]

Secrets end up secret in a secret way of wondering about twisted words

 

Were having everyday conversations

Of words you cant hear and I cant speak

About an endless situation

But you know what I mean

 

I stare and wonder if youre staring too

Cause your eyes blend in with mine

I caught that sparkle and figured it was you

Messing with my mind

 

*Our secrets ending up secret

Were on a road to unknown lane

I wonder if you see it

The path you chose to take

I wonder why my minds still spinning

Over twisted words I lived last week

You and I is what keeps me running

You and I is what keeps me on my feet

 

I said goodbye on a temporary basis

Then ended up with an old-fashioned hello

I never thought my dreams would finish

Until you walked out alone

 

But your silent words kept shouting

I forgave all of your mistakes

And I just wish youd stop smiling

So I can stop running away

 

*

 

Secret messages of lonely words

Is it time for me to figure something out?

Im hearing all the stuff you said

And still dont know what youre about

 

I wonder why you kept things quiet

When you knew I knew all along

All the things you wanted to tell me

Before we ended up so wrong.

you're very talented mel

Free write. And go.

 

What happens when your passion

Makes you as miserable

As the things you used it to hide from?

Where's the motivation?

Where's the drive?

The wonderful pretension

That made you feel so special

Like everything you put out was gold?

What is this doubt?

What is this frustration?

This terrible self-defeat

That makes you feel inadequate

Like all you can put out is excrement?

What happens when what used to make you happy

Not only fails to do so

But adds to your discontent?

What happens when your passion

Makes you as miserable

As the things you used it to hide from?

[MeLoN]

Uhh thanks everyone! And I love that Claudia!

[MeLoN]

Here I go, Im gone

 

I never meant to kill you

But there you are laying on the floor

I never meant to hurt you

But there you are blood covered

 

All I meant was I love you

From the bottom of my heart

Things never turn out like they should

I managed to tear love apart

 

*Dont look at me Im a liar

Ill mess up your mind

Dont touch me Im on fire

Ill burn you down cause I

Am just a simple failure

One who'll make you fall apart

But when I say these words

I dont mean to break your heart

 

I care about life but life never cares

It always hits me, hits me right back

Here I am trying to make myself better

I dont know why though it doesnt matter

 

They say Im good the way I am

They say it just because they can

But I know better I hurt you

So now Ill hurt myself too

 

*

 

Bang bang here I go Im gone

Crash crash my body hits the floor

Silence silence what is next?

Nothing nothing this is the end.

[I Run With Scissors]

Miss Scarlet, with the knife, in the Kitchen

 

On goes that cleavage bearing red dress,

The one that hugs onto every curve

On go your diamonds and your pearls

Douse yourself in expensive French perfume.

Eyelashes are your secret weapon

Accessorized with ruby red lips

Used to hypnotize every man

Before you send them their final kiss

 

You’re dressed to thrill, but also dressed to kill

Hook line and sinker, you lured me in

 

How are you planning to kill me?

Is it a rope in the conservatory?

(Tie it tightly around my throat

I watch you laugh as you watch me choke)

 

How are you planning to kill me?

Is it a revolver inside the study?

(Gun pressed firmly against my head

Pull the trigger and I’ll drop down dead)

 

They say you’d get away with murder

All you’d have to do is wink and smile

And after months of careful scheming

You’ve found the perfect way to end me.

 

On this night you’re going to prove them right

I’m standing there, blissfully unaware

 

How are you planning to kill me?

Is it a rope in the conservatory?

(Tie it tightly around my throat

I hear you laugh as you watch me choke)

 

How are you planning to kill me?

Is it a revolver inside the study?

(Gun pressed firmly against my head

Pull the trigger and I’ll drop down dead)

 

You slip into the kitchen,

Oh so quietly

and grab a knife from the drawer

That you left there for this moment

 

As you sneak up on me,

Oh so quietly

you raise the knife up in the air

And plunge it deep into my back.
