What's your conflict this time?

I can always find you standing in the same place.

What caused the tears crawling from your eyes?

I can always recognize you by your dripping, empty face.

Who's gonna tempt you today?

How much for self-infliction will you scrounge to pay?

This time, will you make it home okay?

This time, will you make it home safe?

If I could, I'd watch you

I'm scared to walk the other way

But I won't let myself watch you

Cause I can't watch you throw your life away

 

I see you sitting at your little black Ikea table.

I see your school ID cutting off chunks of your life in white rocks

I see you grinding it under that bill with your white lighter

I see you putting more thought into making lines than you think at school half the time.

I see you take it in

over and over through that cut straw

straight to your mind

until you feel alright

before your heart is pacing on your pillow

and you suffer alone in your thoughts through the night.

I see you, missing me

and messing ourselves up to Rage Against the Machine

and a Beatles Greatest Hits cd.

Watch me admire you as you try on all your fancy clothes

admiring ourselves with our new jittery, confident eyes

and our numb, running nose

I helped you into this

and I'm trying to help you out

Falling together isn't what friends are about

If I could, I'd watch you

I'm scared to walk the other way

But I won't let myself watch you

Cause I can't watch you throw your life away

 

Somehow you get by

You made it look easy

So I tried not to try

But my mind kept asking why

We had to dig ourselves into this hole again

 

And we built a burden that we could call a home

a sad excuse for shelter in a well predicted storm

with our own words, and our lifeless breath

we tear the foundation

shaking the walls of numbing sensation

they crumbled down in clouds of white dust

and the powder only sifts between our trembling fingers

as we try to comprehend what will become of us

 

I stood as the snow fell

and I gathered myself

I'm scared to walk the other way

But I couldn't live like this another day

I can't watch you throw your life away.

^I really love your songs, you have very raw talent. =)

 

 

 

 

I think I posted this awhile ago, but I don't remember.

 

 

This ones is about my friend Hailey. She died in a drunk-driving incident when she was 14. It's kind of about myself feeling guilty for her death, I guess. And...yeah..hah

 

 

 

Verse One

Shattered glass she swallowed whole

Blood shed upon this broken road

I want to close my eyes and see you there

Nobody deserves this

You didn’t deserve this

 

Chorus

We’ll build the walls

They’ll break them down

Catch us by the throat

Leaving us with empty hands

They robbed us of our dreams

left them scattered along the road

 

Verse two

In this bottle

The note that you signed

Seeping through the top

is cherry red dye

The blood is on my hands

Bitter guilt and remorse

burned your words to the ashes

 

 

Chorus

we’ll build the walls

they’ll break them down

catch us by the throat

leaving us with empty hands

They robbed of us of our dreams

left them scattered along the road

 

 

 

Murderer was blinded

By the alcohol on his breath

A sheet covering his sober eyes

A bump in the road

a careless act

caused Hailey silence that night

 

 

 

 

Yeah. It still needs editing, I wrote it back in may.

Here's something new. I don't really like it but whatever. =)

 

Secret Love

 

What has this become? Nothing but

secret love? What has happened to us?

Something that we've lost control of.

 

Where did this begin why do we

pretend that this should end?

 

Let's stop saying there's no hope

for us in the road ahead

 

Let's cross the line and forget

the things that we'll end up to

regret

 

This is the way we should go

without a fight to hold

 

Let's stop saying there's no hope

for us in the road ahead

 

Let's cross the line and forget

the things that we'll end up to

regret

Ok here is a story I wrote. It doesn't have a title yet. I hope you guys like it.

 

A man woke up from a deep sleep. He feels his head; it’s throbbing, like if someone kicked him. He hears a scream from inside the forest. He jumps up in fear. He calls out, “Who’s there?” No answer. Another scream, it sounds like a little girl. The man runs in the direction of the screaming. He yells out, “Where are you?” The man runs faster and faster. Tree branches scratch his face but it doesn’t seem to bother him.

 

The screaming gets louder and louder as he runs towards it. “I’m coming”, the man screams. Almost out of breath, he is determined to find the little girl. He comes to a place where the trees are surrounding a patch of grass. A little girl stands in the middle of green grass. He walks up to her, she seems to be crying. Her face buried in her hands. “Are you ok”, he asked, “Are you alone?”

 

“Why did you have to leave me”, the girls asked him. “What does she mean”, the man questioned himself. “Do you know who I am” he asked. “Of course I know you, you are my father,” she said looking up at him with tears in her eyes. The man could not believe it, she was his little Mandy.

 

He went to hug her but she turned away. “Why did you leave me,” she asked again. “What do you mean, I’m right here,” he said trying to comfort her. “No! You left me and mommy,” she yelled. “If I’m gone then where did I go,” he asked. She told him, “Mommy said you’re with God.” Mandy walked toward the trees and then she was gone.

 

“What did she mean I’m with God,” he asked himself. Then he remembered his throbbing head. He touched the back of his head, and then brought his hand to his eyes. There was blood on it. Everything was clear to him now. He was shot in the head by a man robbing a mini mart. He sat there crying in his blood filled hands. He remembered kissing his wife before he left the house that morning. He remembered Mandy’s smile, oh how it always brightened his day.

 

He was laughing now, thinking about all the great memories he had with his family. He was glad he had the chance to say goodbye to his baby girl. He stood up and looked to the sky. “I’m ready to be with you now,” he said to God.

Purely out of boredom...

 

2.

Excuse me, memory

But i think you have something i lost

I haven't had a chance

To remmeber what it was i forgot

I think that it's slipping away

And i can't make it stay

I think it's something about

How i used to love you

 

I think that they're talking about

Who we used to be

A time back when, you had all of me

I think that they're talking about

Some things i can't take back

And if only you knew

How i used to love you

 

Excuse me, sympathy

But i think you've forgotten to care

I don't understand

Why you just left me stood there

I feel that i've fallen apart

Thinking back to the start

I think i remember a time

When i used to love you

 

Excuse me, my enemy

But i think i forgot how to hate

I once said i was sorry

But said it far too late

I don't think we can survive this

And i can't help but notice

The way you're looking at me

I think you used to love me.
