That would be a bit scary.

If I were being stalked... I'd hide under my bed.... If I could fit.

[xletthisgox]

if a girl stalked me i would see her looking into my window behind my bushes, i would be like "come on in!"

only if she was cute

[YellowBrickRoad]

If a guy was stalking me, I wouldn't let him in, even if he was attractive. He could murder me. What would I do then?

[xletthisgox]

lol well first i would make sure she didnt have any weapons

[YellowBrickRoad]

If she did?

[xletthisgox]

then id be like AHHHHH and lock my house up and then call the police

[YellowBrickRoad]

Haha good plan.

[Jorgi]

bzzzzzzzzzzzzzzt.

 

feet first i crashed through the floor

how was this the way out ?

your eyes were most delightful

how did things get quite so terrible

well my patience is wearing far too thin

and we're in too deep

we're in too deep

 

those flashing lights are far too bright

do they hurt your pretty eyes ?

well we wouldn't want that

so keep those spiteful remarks

to yourself

'cause we wouldn't want that

we wouldn't want that

 

you showed more promise than my promises

was that such a challenge ?

i never meant to fall in line

with such denial and surprise

and this was never planned

so we're out of luck

all out of luck

[Jammer]

Pieces

 

Come stay next to me

Don't leave my side

Let's face this through together

And put on a brave face...

 

Blow a kiss and watch me fall to pieces

Try and put me back together again

Blow a kiss and watch me fall to pieces

Can't put me back together again...

 

You know what they say

'Handle fragility with care'

Such a shame you couldn't heed those words

Now you have to face the consequences...

 

*chorus*

 

Without you,

Everything falls apart

Without you,

It's not as much fun to pick up the pieces...

*repeat a few times*

 

Well look at me now

What a sorry state of affairs

And you know it was your fault

Now you have to live with the guilt...

 

*chorus*

 

Watch me fall to pieces

Try in vain to repair me

Watch me fall to pieces

Try in vain to repair me...

*repeat a few times, dubbed over the 'Without you' refrain*

 

Falling to pieces because of you...

 

P.S The 'Without you' refrain is actually from the Nine Inch Nail song 'The Perfect Drug', and I included them hear because I thought it fitted the song well.

that really is so, so beautiful

[Jammer]

If you say so.

 

I'll go and edit that now since I put the wrong words in the refrain part.

[777]

Well...i was on a ride with my family...we werent all that...we were submerged in this bad energy and I was panicking..because of it...so I wanted to escape and forget this so then my mind started thinking, by itself I suppose. I started focusing on the things flying by outside my window where I was sitting.

 

Then I saw this boy, walking very slowly, looking down at the ground watching his steps, he seen this kid walk to his steps and he watched the kid all the tim until the door blocked his sight. so then I just made this. The words poured outta my head, Like water out of a cup

 

 

The Boy

 

Blue sky filled my eye

And then I saw you

Where were you going

What did you think

When the door covered the kid

You wished you were friends with

 

I seen some "please"

I seen some sympathy

Jump from me to you

Should I really give them

Or is there really no one you knew

 

I speak of you as the past

because I know I'll never see you again

If my age related to yours

You can guess I'd be your friend

 

The boy, You are you walked along

I wonder how you are

If you're happy, If you're sad

Or if you're like me

All the time mad

 

I care for you

I stared at you

and pondered behind your face

Was it hiding, Was it truth

You remained in one single place

 

You fill my mind

With tons of thoughts

Of how I could be

When I was your age

When I was stupid

When I was in a cage

 

 

 

 

Edit: and james, Thats my favorite NIN song you tried absinthe?

[Jorgi]

Blue sky filled my eye

And then I saw you

Where were you going

What did you think

When the door covered the kid

You wished you were friends with

 

<3.

 

 

ramblerambleramble.

 

don't be mistaken

in to thinking i'm here to save you

i'm merely here to gloat

and smirk and say

i told you so

and better luck next time

 

i'll let it go

it's not the end of the world

just the end of us

and the story i had hoped

would last a little longer

well, better luck next time

 

hello, stranger

i believe i left you behind and alone

all those years ago

well i can't say that

your timing has improved

so i'll see you around,

better luck next time.

[YellowBrickRoad]

Its short but oh well.

 

Did heaven send you,

To be with me,

Did it make the leaves,

Grow on the trees,

Or make the stars shoot,

Across my sky,

That way I could wish,

For you and I.

[my.heart.]

hello, stranger

love it. absolute win

[Jorgi]

cheers !

 

have another, mainly because i never shut up when i'm bored.

 

you really are quite something,

as you sit and pretend to ignore me

pretending to ignore you,

you're something quite special

after all,

and i don't know what's good for me,

but i think if i open my mouth

things will take a turn for the worse

so we'll sit,

and we'll converse,

in silence.

 

i'm blissfully aware of your eyes

staring into the back of my head

and straight through me,

your eyes hold the answers

finally,

and i didn't know i'd questioned you,

but that glance was clear to see

for everyone surrounding us,

so we'll sit,

and we'll dance,

in silence.

the girl everyone forgot. i wrote this about a girl i used to be secretly in love with. she was a friend of mines girlfriend and was the most beautiful girl i knew. eventually they broke up and i never seen her anymore. I talked to her online sometimes but she got a new boyfriend and heavily involved with drugs. her life seems pretty miserable now and i kind of hate her for throwing what she had away.

 

though we drifted apart

i think of you everyday

i wish i could change the way you felt

but you couldn't love me that way

the years have passed

and i've heard what you've become

a shell without a soul

the drugs have made you numb

i used to think the world of you

but now i can barely spare a thought

what could you think of yourself i wonder

the girl everyone forgot

[Brooks]

Wow. That's pretty good, bandmate.

[YellowBrickRoad]

Happiness,

How can I know it,

If your not here,

To share it with me,

To be by my side,

To hold me tight,

How can I know something,

That’s impossible to be,

Since you left me,

How can I know the impossible.

[No_Sir!]

STOP & STARE

Chapter One

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.”

 

Chapter Two

After school was over, the guys came home with my brother and me as usual. We always check our myspace before practicing, for some reason. I was over talking with Caleb about how the guitars should go for our acoustic song that we wrote together. When Danny called us all over to the computer, all giddy. We all walked over there, confused.

“Read this.”

Hello

It read.

My name is Calvin Michaels, I just opened my indie record company in Los Angeles, California, I have been looking for a talented band to come to Los Angeles and record for my record company Wallflake Records, I promise you this is not a scam. I’ve actually been a fan of yours for a while, the song Universe has a deep meaning to it, and that’s what I want, to put something different out there, and you Mr. Darcy have that magical touch. Please call me at 603-555-3530. Thank you, enjoy your day. Calvin Michaels.

“Oh, wow. Is this serious?” I said unable to believe that a record producer would message us. A dream comes true.

“It is, I just looked up his website, map quested the address, google world it, just to see if it’s fake, because scam artists aren’t that smart.” He smiled.

“Well this is some offer.” My mother said later that night. “Are you sure it’s not a scam?”

“We are sure, the address is real on map quest, and the building is real on Google World.” Jacob said. “As we speak the guys are negotiating things with their parents.” Jacob took a breath, “Now, here is what Anna and I were hoping”

“Oh here we go.” My mother said.

“Macy, it’s ok.” My dad said to my mom. “Let’s hear them out before saying anything.”

“So, this is something we all want really, really bad, to get out of this town, and do something huge. This may be the only chance we have. If, you do let us go to California, we will be there for a few days, audition, and then come back. Not that big of a deal.” He continued. “I don’t know if you want to come with us, or not, but if we can, we will be grateful forever.”

“I don’t know Jacob. What if you get turned down? What will happen then?” My mom said to Jacob. I knew she would say no.

“We don’t know until we actually do something, just like when I asked you, I knew you would say no, but I gave it a shot anyways. Its one of those things you have to do.” I said.

“Let me talk this over with the other parents before I make my decision.” My mom removed herself from the table, and walked to her bedroom, and shut the door.

Not long after my father followed.

“Was that a yes almost?” I asked my brother who was smiling.

“Anna, I think it was.” He looked at me, excitement flamed in his eyes.

The next day, my mom had talked to the boys’ parents, and she came home, somewhat excited after work.

“Guess what I bought today.” She said, smiling.

“What did you buy today?” I asked.

“Two tickets to Los Angeles.” She said, trying to smile.

“WHAT!” My brother and I raced to the kitchen.

“You guys leave in two days. Your father called and set up an appointment with him.”

“No way, so your letting us does this?” I asked, almost jumping out of my shoes.

“Yes. I just want you to know”

“Thanks SO many moms. You don’t know what this means to us.” I hugged her, than let go of the embrace and started dancing around the house.

“LA HERE WE COME!!!” I screamed, more excited than ever.

[notoriousfat67]

oh I love that Mike!!! I love how you write about how you feel. And thats really sad about your friend.

 

Wow. That's pretty good, bandmate.

 

thank you guys

[notoriousfat67]

this is about my best friend. he's changed so much since he got in the honors classes at school. kind of like hes ashamed of his old friends. Sometimes i get the feeling he would completely forget about us if they told him to.

 

*note* this is more of what i think will happen nothing in this indicates anything that has happened.

 

after everything we've done for you

how could you let us go

you fade away more every year

until the new is all you'll know

 

though we've all made changes

some things should stay the same

you said best friends forever

they don't even know you're name

 

and when the day comes

when they reveal their true faces

you'll come back to us

begging for forgiveness

 

but i can't forgive

and i'll never forget

you abandoned us

the only true thing you had
