The Song/Poem/Writing Thread

[No_Sir!]

Betty, I really like yours. I really loved the words you used!

 

In lit. we had to write three poems one of them (for one I choose and acrostic) and my teacher said it had to be more than 7 letters long so I came up with this.

 

Covered in lies

Or covered in scars

No one really know

Shoved away

Pushed aside

I long to the see the light

Right before my eyes

All that remains is

Chains

You should know

[MarMaramore]

^bombature...

 

a revised and fixed up version of the song i wrote earlier... and with screamo now and stuff

 

 

Travis Screamo - (...)

Mariah vocals - ...

Both of us - *...*

 

[verse]

I'm afraid of the dark

and you leave me (all alone like this!)

Hoping and dreaming for (a new way to get over it!)

Maybe I wanna cry (Maybe it's true!)

I'm stuck to the lies (And you too!)

And you too...

 

[pre-chorus]

You know what you did

Way to go, “babe”

I'm not quite over it

*And I'm not so sorry to say!*

 

[chorus]

When I look around for

(Excuses to get away each time!)

You tend to look for answers in me

(But this time I'm closing my mind!)

Maybe if you'd stop breaking me..

I'd be at least – (A “little okay!”)

 

[verse]

I could never call your home, “home”

There, my replies (even I don't own! WHEN!)

I love you sounds so empty

(So bitter sweet, so bitter sweet!)

I love you feels to empty

(To me!)

 

[pre-chorus]

 

[chorus]

 

[bridge]

You're a wonderful writer, you know (but!)

Sweetie you have no idea, where you wanna go

I'm just another puppet (in your tiny life)

*Just another lost person who's not worth your time!*

Bite your lip baby

That's all you're gonna taste for a little while

 

[chorus]

[Jorgi]

blarrggghhheeearrghhheaargghhh !

 

wrong answers to right questions,

or is that the wrong way around ?

i'll sidestep enquiries

and hit the ground.

 

choosing the right time and place

isn't as overrated as you'd think,

i'll turn another corner

and take my cue.

 

well what a fine example

of disaster and catastrophe,

whilst you forget me

and i hate you.

[MarMaramore]

^that was interesting.. i loved the "...blarrggghhheeearrghhheaargghhh !..." intro!!!!!

lopl

i love your skilld jorgi... did someone have a bad day??

!

[Jorgi]

i figured the intro was the best part hahaaa and yes, pretty bad day if you ask me.

 

love your song, btw, just read it (: can imagine it being sung in my head (like the nice and sane person i am) and it sounds good haha

[MarMaramore]

^ well i hope your day/night? goes better than it was... lopl i dont know how to word that with time differences.. but oh well... cheer up.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Jammer]

The Deepest Cut

 

You take your implements

And deficate the skin

Think it'll make you feel better

But you only make the sorrow deeper

It grows and consumes you...

 

The deepest cut is always the first

But you know it won't be your last

The deepest cut is always the worst

And you know it won't stop there...

 

Your arms reads like a road map

Link the route to eternal misery

This cycle has no finish for you

I've always told you I'm here

But you never seek my consul...

 

*chorus*

 

A vision for the future I see

Myself at your lonely headstone

All my sorrow has been spent

Nothing more I feel for you

You were the only one who could end it

And yet you did nothing...

 

*chorusx2, second time shouted vocals*

 

Wow. Didn't see this one coming.

[YellowBrickRoad]

Lay Your Head Down Child

 

Lay your head down child and sleep,

This is not who you want to be,

Figure out were you want to go,

Cause child this isnt the road,

 

You only know how not to do right,

Child you know it's not right,

Why do you hide and cry at night,

Child you know this is your life,

Only you can change,

Lay your head down child and sleep,

 

Child I know you want to break free,

Your falling to disaster,

You jusat keep on falling faster,

You only know how not to do right,

Child you know it's not right,

Why do you hide and cry at night,

 

Child you know this is your life,

Only you can change,

Lay your head down child and sleep,

Find out who you want to be,

Listen to your heart there,

Cause right now your going nowere.

 

You only know how not to do right,

Child you know it's not right,

Why do you hide and cry at night,

Child you know this is your life,

Only you can change,

I wrote this, mainly from my friend's perspective. His Step Dad is someone that a lot of people don't like, and he treats my friend wrong. So, here it is.

 

You think that you’re a man.

When really, you’re just a child.

Think you may rule this land

I’ll let you stay for just a while.

 

You taunt me with words you spit out

Like venom from a slithering serpent

Trying desperately to tear me down

It really isn’t worth it

 

You see, I’m more of a man than you’ll ever be

I’m just a bit more civilized

Even though you’ve turned a family against me

You won’t ruin my life

 

So why don’t you just go back to from whence you came

Leave me alone

For you, I am ashamed

Without you, I am sure I would be better off as one

[No_Sir!]

that good justin. Thats cool how you wrote it about your friend.

[Brooks]

Thanks. I did that today, after his Step Dad was being not the best person in the world. I found another one of my little poem/song things.

 

=]

[xxbecksyxx]

I covered my ears. I didn’t want to hear the noise. It was unbearable. My mom and dad has been arguing a lot lately. I didn’t know what it was about, though. I never listened. The shouting scared me.

 

But sometimes it was hard not to listen. It was dreadful. Occasionally, I would hear my mom shouting “Cheater!” at my dad. I didn’t know what it meant. I would hear them shout swear words at each other. I always refused to hear.

 

I pressed my palms against my ears even more and closed my eyes. I didn’t want to see or hear. It hurt too much. All I COULD hear was muffled shouts. I buried my head in my knees to take it away. I didn’t want to hear anything.

 

I stayed like that for a while. Until I decided it was safe to look again. And then I saw something that shocked me.

 

My dad hit my mom.

 

And then two bright lights came hurtling towards our car. I think I was the only one who saw. I tried to say something but only squeaked. I closed my eyes and buried my head.

 

CRASH.

 

The last thing I saw was my motionless parents before falling unconscious.

 

the flashback of the story I'm writing.

[Echelonforever]

Just wrote this:

 

Looking for a viable excuse, I found you

at the bottom of my darkest hour,

my soul you were sent to devour,

and once you were through, you went on your way

leaving me nothing, but a mere broken shell,

where my heart use to be

[Lahninja]

i didnt write this, but i just think its a gorgeous song.

 

and it takes alot for me to like a song this much:

 

Katie, don't cry, I know

You're trying your hardest

And the hardest part is letting go

Of the nights we shared

Ocala is calling and you know it's haunting

But compared to your eyes, nothing shines quite as bright

And when we look to the sky, its not mine, but i want it so

 

Let's not pretend like you're alone tonight

(I know he's there)

You're probably hanging out and making eyes

(while across the room, he stares)

I bet he gets the nerve to walk the floor

And ask my girl to dance, and she'll say yes

 

Because these words were never easier for me to say

Or her to second guess

But I guess

That I can live without you but

Without you I'll be miserable at best

 

You're all that I hoped I'd find

In every single way

And everything I could give

Is everything you couldn't take

Cause nothing feels like home, you're a thousand miles away

And the hardest part of living

Is just taking breaths to stay

 

Because I know I'm good for something

I just haven't found it yet

But I need it

 

So let's not pretend like you're alone tonight

(I know he's there)

You're probably hanging out and making eyes

(while across the room, he stares)

I bet he gets the nerve to walk the floor

And ask my girl to dance, and she'll say yes

 

Because these words were never easier for me to say

Or her to second guess

But I guess

That I can live without you but

Without you I'll be miserable at best

 

Ladada ladada ladadaoh ohhh

 

And this will be the first time in a week

That I'll talk to you

And I can't speak

It's been three whole days since I've had sleep

Because I dream of his lips on your cheek

And I got the point that I should leave you alone

But we both know that I'm not that strong

And I miss the lips that made me fly

 

So let's not pretend like you're alone tonight

(I know he's there)

You're probably hanging out and making eyes

(while across the room, he stares)

I bet he gets the nerve to walk the floor

And ask my girl to dance, and she'll say yes

 

Because these words were never easier for me to say

Or her to second guess

But I guess

That I can live without you but

Without you I'll be miserable

And I can live without you

But without you I'll be miserable

And I can live without you

Oh, without you I'll be miserable at best

[my.heart.]

people always say that you

should try to see the world through two

perfect eyes and meanwhile

they're falling down, but with a smile

 

oh hey, hey you bright young thing

it's not too late to forget

that love remembered you

and arms outstretched

a thousand miles

just to follow hearts and bend the truth

 

stop, oh no

she'll always remember you

 

i've never been so fooled

the day that i was fooled

to jump

with eyes wide shut and

my heart had never stopped

except when bombs were dropped

i'll jump

won't say i'll never do it again

 

ipso facto

they through you out in the cold but you

wouldn't speak the truth because

you saw right through, adoring skies

 

oh hey, hey you bright young thing

it's too late to regain

the love you threw away

and arms outstretched

a thousand miles

i left my heart in the back for you

 

stop, oh no

she'll always remember you

 

i've never been so fooled

the day that i was fooled

to jump

with eyes wide shut and

my heart had never stopped

except when bombs were dropped

i'll jump

won't say i'll never do it again

 

if i could start a riot for

all the things i wanted

we'd be hanging in the balance

of insanity

 

i've never been so fooled

the day that i was fooled

to jump

with eyes wide shut and

my heart had never stopped

except when bombs were dropped

i'll jump

won't say i'll never do it again

do it again

 

******

 

i am searching out

for that time back in my mind

when you sat in the corner

and left the lights shining on

i am reaching out

for the footsteps left

when you ran right past me

and let my heart beat

for something that's not there

 

hold on to my last shred

of insecurity

and tie the knot for everyone to see

 

you've got everybody dreaming

but all i dream is falling

you've got everybody dreaming

but woah, i'm falling

in your broken arms

 

we are looking back

for a memory of what i once was

when we'd left before you

could even see the door

my heart is calling out

for the way you stressed

that perfection only comes from begging

and why won't i

come back later

 

hold on to my last shred

of insecurity

and tie the knot for everyone to see

 

you've got everybody dreaming

but all i dream is falling

you've got everybody dreaming

but woah, i'm falling

in your broken arms

 

i can see you clearly now

through eyes that skipped a generation

i see you clearly now

those eyes that cause a sensation

 

so don't let me hit the ground

you've got everybody dreaming

but all i dream is falling

you've got everybody dreaming

but woah, i'm falling

you've got everybody dreaming

but all i dream is falling

you've got everybody dreaming

but woah, i'm falling

in your broken arms

 

*****

 

carbon copy excuses

your appearance is useless

turning up here with your

quick wit and empty words;

what you meant and what you think of me

i know it’s cold in the snow

but believe me your heart is, so

 

we’ll sit around and in time,

the talk, the words, the cheap wine

will blur into one

you’re lying

and i’m trying

to make sense of this circle i lead

with every nod of your head

with every intake of breath

i wanted nothing but dreams

 

so i’ll let you scream through the worst of your nightmares

while i sleep with the last of your words

i have seen heads up in space

and nobody win this race

it’s all an adventure until we lose the way

lose the way

 

stolen goods on the run

is it worth all the fuss?

my hair is still a mess.

and i hope that my insistance

leads to love’s existance

someday in time.

meanwhile i’ll sit here

paper, pen and coffee cup.

 

so i’ll let you scream through the worst of your nightmares

while i sleep with the last of your words

i have seen heads up in space

and nobody win this race

it’s all an adventure until we lose the way

lose the way

 

lose the way.

^The first and the last one are absolutely amazing. I'm trying to pick out a favourite part of either just to show as an example, but i actually would just end up quoting it all. So i'll just leave it at that.

 

Was the first one influenced by Decoy, in any way ? Just curious (:

thank you glad to be back posting songs and all that.. it's been too long! hmm it wasn't actually at all but now i start singing decoy in my head, the first few lines of the first verse and the chorus actually fit the tune haha

1st chapter to my new Story

 

Stop and Stare

 

Ever since my brother and I were little, music has been our lives. We live in a small Nebraska town, about two hours from any actual civilization. It’s not surprising that it only has 300 people. Nothing ever happens here. It’s just your typical dull, boring town, I’m thriving for something to happen, and who knows if anything will.

About two years ago, my brother Jacob and I had started a band with our two best friends Caleb (my brothers best friend) and Danny (my best friend), making me the only girl in the band. Our band name is Mr. Darcy, as in Pride and Prejudice. Jacob plays the drums, Caleb plays the lead guitar and sings, Danny plays the bass, and I, Anna, play the guitar and sing. We have a myspace, and we were pretty popular, not Top Artist popular, but lots of people knew about us. We get to play at my parents sandwich shop/coffee shop every Friday, and Saturday, only she makes us sing covers of songs, she says ‘Your songs are too hard for those of us older folks.’. I suppose that’s true, we are a rock band after all. It’s just, singing cover songs gets really old after a while, we want our music heard as well. Once I was desperate for the music to be heard, I went to ask my mom, prepared to get on my hands and knees, possibly kiss her feet if I had to.

“I’m just loving your shirt mom.” I said, sucking up as much as I could, trying not to overdo myself.

“What do you want Anna?” She asked, getting ready to open the shop.

“Who says I want anything? I was just taking the time out of my day to make you feel warm and fuzzy inside.”

She paused and looked at me. “Whenever children start sucking up to their parents, you know it’s because they want something.” She turned and got back to work. “What do you want?”

“Well, I absolutly love the time that you give us to sing, It’s just we want our music heard too.”

“No.” She said.

“Aw, mom please?” I said. “Please please please.” I got on my knees.

“Anna Grace Fillmore, don’t beg. I said no, and that means no.”

I stood up. “Your such a party pooper.” I said, fake pouting.

“Aren’t all parents.” She said, rolling her eyes. “Goodbye, have fun at school.”

I stuck out my tounge, then walked out the door of the shop. Once I was at school, and spotted the guys, I waltzed over and told them what I had done.

“Why did you ask her that?” Jacob complained. “You knew she was going to say no.”

“Oh I’m sorry, I thought it’s what you wanted too Jacob.” I said, rolling my eyes.

“Yeah, but we ask as a band.” He said. “That way we can all put some little input in the asking process.”

“Ok, next time.” I said rolling my eyes.

“There isn’t going to be a next time Anna. You’ve ruined it for us.”

“Jacob, chill out dude. Everyone makes mistakes.” Danny said.

“Exactly Jacob, don’t act like you don’t make mistakes because you do. Quit treating like it’s something huge, because it’s not, we’ll still be preforming.” I said, then turned around and walked to class.

Caleb had caught up with me. “Tell me why he’s my best friend.”

I chuckled. “That’s the great mystery in life.” I sighed. “How you’ve managed all these years without turning out like him.”
