Lyricists...gather round

[Dingle]

Reason for this topic is for those of you who write lyrics to maybe discuss your inspirations and how you set about writing. Could always post what you write, but some stuff can be very personal to people so obviously you don't have to.

I'll probably post some of my stuff later on, I'm sure I can convince YI to do so as well, and hopefully Skummy too.

[YI]

You'll be lucky. I've openly admitted to the fact I'm an absolutely shite lyricist. Now tunes, that's a piece of piss...lyrics, christ, I'm awful. I might post a few though.

[Dingle]

Oh yes, but that openess about your crap lyrics is all good. As long as you use the get cape.wear cape. fly lyrics we were discussing >_>.

[Skummy]

All the French girls that I never knew,

While I was wasting my time,

Staying faithful to you,

Mistakenly thinking you were still mine...

After all of the nights we spent together,

Writing our names in the sand,

Saying "I will love you forever",

I'm not the only one here with blood on my hands...

My darling, you're bleeding,

And, love, so am I,

I can't believe that you're leaving,

But I already know why...

Those French girls that I'll never know,

Their just wasting their time,

Wrapped in their blankets of woe,

They're not your's, and they'll never be mine,

They're not your's...and, no...they'll never be mine...

I can still feel your breath on my shoulder,

Like he will do all tonight,

While my bed feels so much colder,

But darling, I deserve it...it's alright...

Darling, I deserve it...it's alright by me...

Being alone hasn't got to be a curse,

When you know that you oughta,

And you know there's plenty got it worse,

A thousand scared and lonely step-daughters

And all those French girls, how they'll never see,

Just how much of your time,

You've spent on hurting me,

While I wished, and I still wish, that you were mine,

While I wished, and I still wish, that they could all be mine...

But lousy lovers like this one,

Don't deserve a girl like you,

When my heart is all but gone,

And I'm feeling nothing but blue,

I don't deserve pretty French girls,

And darling, you're gone...

Away from all our pretty French girls,

Away from all our French girls that I never knew...

That was one of my favourite songs I've written, although it doesn't feel like "my" song any more since a couple of other people I know have begun performing it. In fact;

that's how it sounds.

[Dingle]

Ohhh, I like it, wanna know the meaning behind it as well. I'll watch the video later on.

Here is something I wrote today, dunno if I like it or not, but I'll find something better later on.

The sun fades on a quiet day…

Nothing accomplished and nothing made…

It was a waste of my time…

But I look around… and I smile…

The night is such a sudden change

And the memories still remain

Of all the times that we’d sit and stare

Time passing and we were unaware

But really happy…

We were happy…

All the clouds that gather around…

And the rain comes pouring down…

Yet we don’t, run away…

We’re happy just to stay…

As the thunder shakes the ground…

But all in all it’s such a soothing sound…

This close to nature and so happy to…

Be together, just… me and you…

I’m really happy…

That you are with me…

And if I smile tonight, will you flash one back

Because my heart it belongs to you…

And if I cried tonight, would you make it all right

My heart belongs to you…

All of the evil I hate, the people I hate…

But still my heart belongs to you…

Every moment I love… just thinking of…

How my heart belongs to you…

My heart belongs to you…

The sun fades once again…

But still sat here, hand in hand…

It’s so calming, and it’s so very nice…

I wouldn’t wish for anything, or anyone else

And if I smile tonight, will you flash one back

Because my heart it belongs to you…

And if I cried tonight, would you make it all right

My heart belongs to you…

All of the evil I hate, the people I hate…

But still my heart belongs to you…

Every moment I love… just thinking of…

How my heart belongs to you…

My heart belongs to you…

[Tarheels.]

Sad to say that all of my inspiration for lyrics has come directly from heart ache, with the exception of a few. The one that has the least personable lyrics but still decent nonetheless (in my eyes at least) is Singing To The Sky.

Singing To The Sky

At the tender age of three I did my best to climb a tree

But as I fell right to the ground I shortly after found

That you must crawl before you walk, yeah you must sink before you swim

Maybe I shouldn’t reach for the sky

Maybe it’s just a bit too high

And at the height of my maturity, I can still only depend on me

These people I’m surrounded with will do nothing but push and kick

At my body as I fall

So just call me Berlin because I’m building up my walls

While crucified on my cross of deceit with blood in my hair and nails in my feet

I curse to nothing, in hopes that somebody

Will save me from myself and put me back up on the shelf

But until then all I can do is wait

For that cross to seal my fate

Now we’re all falling over backwards and hoping to be caught

Yeah we’re praying for a miracle and giving no more than a passing thought

To that chance that we’ll be forgotten and dropped upon the floor

But we don’t care about that anymore.

Yeah we know that feeling for sure

Judging by the life that I’ve been living, well The Beatles must have lied

Because I’m needing more than love right now in my attempts to get by

But the arms of a caring woman would do more good than bad

And with the luck that I’ve been having it can’t be worse than what I’ve had

So I’ll just toss my name in the hat.

And now I’ve been strumming on this guitar writing all these songs for you

But now it seems to be my turn, yeah I’m long overdue

We need a song of hope and longing, but we’ll get that no time soon

So I’ll continue with this symphony of forgotten, lonesome tunes

As I sing out to the sky about these familiar blues

[stevev10]

I just wanted to say, Devil In Jouzy City you are a legend for having morrissey in your signature. much respect!!!

[METALMAN]

Oh my. I've done many, none of which are anything remotely special. Nevertheless:

Time is Running Out

I'm not asking for your help here

though i'm in for a struggle i just need to persevere

i know what i'm doing i can manage it fine

just let me relax i've got plenty of time

you said that a month ago we're getting there fast

it's time you put in an effort and did something at last

you have all you need and you have no excuse

it's all down to you and it's your game to lose

so why did you say you'd do it yesterday

why did you promise everything was okay?

i think we can say our time's running out

what can i do? oh can i live without

no confusion and no sense of doubt

not long till i'll be far from here

i'll keep my promise, i'll guarantee that

but my tank is empty and my spirit's flat

it's not worth my time, but i still need it so

i'll stay where i am and i'll take it slow

you should think of others and come outside again

you should realise you're being deluded by your brain

open your eyes, you've got off lightly

and it's not long till you'll be far from here

On The Stair

Sitting on the stair

No-one knows she's there

Just flicker through a magazine

More things there have never been

Just flicker through a magazine

And escape the real truth

Laughing in the other room

A word you say is cruel

Tears on the pages

It was more than cruel

Girl on the stair

I want to speak to you

We both deserve it, i'm sure

Girl in the hallway

Why wont you stay away

From them, not from me

Crying on the floor

She wont open the door

She wont even die

Not one to try

Girl on the stair

I want to speak to you

We both deserve it, i'm sure

Girl in the hallway

Why wont you stay away

From them, not from me

Read between the lines

The faces are kind

On the pages

But not in the real world

And the snow coming down

Through the frosted glass

She shivers

And cleverly cries

Girl on the stair

Please don't leave

I just want to talk to you

Unfortunately(or fortunately in your case ) I lost a lot of my other lyrics because I for some reason I saved them in my the same folder as my med school application, which I stupidly deleted when I decided to apply for Law instead.

If you want to hear the songs however, they can be found at:

[YI]

Reading these...I take back on my promise to post lyrics.

[Dingle]

Hey hey, you can't back out now. Just because you can't compete with my amazing lyrical genius doesn't mean you can be a pussy.

I'll post them if I have to!!

[Draevyn]

Yeah, these are going to make me look emo as hell, but oh well.

With These Blood Stained Hands

I Reach For You And Touch Your Face

Every Day I Feel So Alone

Please Touch Me And Lead Me

I've Lost So Much Faith

Everything I've Ever Believed

Has Been Nothing But A Lie

Told To Me From The Lips

That I Trusted Most

So Can You Help Me Find

The Things In Life That I

Believed Were Lies

Help Me Break These Ties

And Walk Free Again

Away From These Temptations

That This Life Brings

Can't Say I've Ever Been True

But That's Why I Need You

Here With Me

Keep Me Grounded So I Can't

Get Lost

Beneath The Sins Of This Troubled

Mind

Wash Away This Blood And

The Tears That Have Stained

And The Pain They Left Behind

Every Day Is A harder Time

And Every Line Is A Repeated Kind

Am I Insane

Or Just Lost

How Much Does What I've Done

Cost?

Turn On The Lights; Extricate My Darkness

Venomous Vigilance; Can't Shatter My Dreams

Can't Silence My Screams

You'll Hear Me With My Last Breath

You Tried To Break Me

Make Me Care About You

But I Won't Crack

I'll Forget All About You

With This Blade; I Wash Away You Memory

And Bathe In The Life You Helped To Destroy

Clawing At My Skin From The Inside Out

Swallow The Blood Rushing To My Throat

Lacerated And Left For Dead

But I Crawled Out Of The Grave

And Was Reborn Instead

I'm A New Man and I Just

Want You To See That

You Can't Hurt Me

Take My Hand; Lead Me Astray

I Don't Want To Live My Life This Way

Deliver Me; From The Sins Of Days Passed

Take Away Every Last

BREATH!

My Hands Are Bleeding From This Cross

My Wounds Are Healing; But The Scars Are Tearing

Through Me

Please God, Fix This

I Scream To The Heavens

But He's Not Listening

He Never Was

I'm Just Another Sacrifice

Yesterday I Closed My Eyes

And Wished Upon A Fallen Sky

Opened My Eyes To Realize

That All Our Dreams Were Gone

Were Gone

Were Gone

Watchful Eyes Don't Realize

That Everything Is Falling Apart

Can't Hold It; Can't Let It Go

Let It Go

Just Let It Go

Yesterday I Saw An Angel, Walking Down The Street

Her Pure Wings; Once White; Now Charred A Bitter Black

I Could Have Turned; Showed Her My back

But Then She Turned And I Couldn't Believe My Eyes

Even With Tears Running Down Her Face; She Was Beautiful

That Was The Day That I Found Out

Even Fallen Angels Need To Cry

I Raised My Eyes; She Raised Her Hands

Pointed To Her Decayed Wings And Said

Look Where Believing Got Me

Look What They've Done

Simple Words Couldn't Change Them

And He Wouldn't See My Way

So Today I Was Cast From Heaven

To Walk This Bitter Earth

I've Seen It All From My View

So You Can't Show Me Anything New

In That Moment I Had To Stop Her

For There Was One Thing I Knew

She'd Never Felt True Love, Even In Her Paradise

She'd Been Told For So Long; That Feeling Was Wrong

Nobody Had Shown Her The Difference

But I Swore With Everything I Had That She'd Know

Just How Much This World Has To Offer

I Close My Eyes; She Closes Hers

And The Water Washes Over Us

She Can't Help But Bask In The Happiness

And That's All I've Ever Wanted.

[Dingle]

These don't work as well without the music, but I'll maybe post the finished song when it gets recorded...

[V1]

Don’t come… tonight

I won’t help you… make it right,

I’ve other things to mend…instead

I’m not a safety net…

I’m blind to others needs…

And I can’t be here… On duty…

Whenever… you need me

[C]

I’ve… got my own… life… to worry… about

Like trying to make it… and always falling short

Live your life… Whatever happens, I will love you,

But I can’t help you; no I can’t help you now…

[V2]

Do your best…

Never look back and wonder

What could have been that has never been?

Times are hard…

But don’t run to me for help

I won’t be here… waiting…

Whenever… you need me…

[C]

I’ve… got my own… life… to worry… about

Like trying to make it… and always falling short

Live your life… Whatever happens, I will love you,

But I can’t help you; no one can help you now…

[V3]

Years go by…

You’re haunted by the past…

Unable, or unwilling, I don’t know…

On your final day…

I come running to you to help

I’m here if, you need me

However useless, I may be…

[C]

I… had my own… life… to worry… about

Like trying to make it… and always falling short

You lived your life… Whatever happened, I always loved you,

And no one can help you now…

[YI]

Hey hey, you can't back out now. Just because you can't compete with my amazing lyrical genius doesn't mean you can be a pussy.

I'll post them if I have to!!

What do you even have of mine besides random, snippets of shit? Which are probably the shittest I have, which I send for comic purposes.

Lyrically this is one of the best songs I wrote, and I got the majority of it done in 20 minutes. Obviously sounds better with the song, but the song is progressive metal with some thrash in there so it's not everyone's favorite music to listen to.

Stab City 338

We will no longer stay quiet

To appease those who are corrupted.

Sitting in their lavish thrones

While their culture is destroyed from within.

They have ruled us for too long

We must destroy the power.

We must rise above and reclaim our culture,

And our identities.

No law enforcement for the right and just,

Only corruption and favoritism.

Outsiders are shown no mercy

While rape and murder go unpunished.

Still they wonder why outsiders stray away,

Why we’re unhappy.

Only if they were to see themselves from the outside

They would be horrified.

Now the tables have turned,

Your ass is on the concrete,

Blood pouring from your head.

The angel of death awaits,

For your sacrifice.

A city of true evil and destruction from within

Too many friends have been lost far too young

We must destroy those who allowed them to become another statistic...

We must never forget their memory and we must carry on their dreams...

We must rise above and destroy the power for good...

No more wasted lives for their personal gain...

[Dingle]

I can't really judge metal lyrics, because well... it;s just random apocalyptic nonsense in my eyes >_>.

Anyways, I'm bored, it's a Sunday aaaand I don't know why I wrote this, but yannow, boredom and all that. I think it's actually not bad, but I just finished it about a second ago, so that can easily change.

The taste of your lips… makes me… so happy…

And the look in your eyes… makes me smile… and I’m happy…

But I feel… that all I… can do… is love you…

And now… I’m afraid… that’s not enough… I need you to love me too

The way I do…

The way I look at you

Such a smile is lost in pretty eyes

The kind of love

The kind that lasts

Like a summer day in your mind…

And tonight… I’ll find… the one I’ll love forever

And now I… survived… this encounter… but I don’t know how

I ever left you…

The scent of you… makes me feel… like I… need you…

And my memories… are all of you… but at least I’ve got away now…

And I feel… so happy… that I… don’t love you…

And now… I’m glad that, it’ enough for me to get by

The way I do…

When I don’t think of you…

It’s so easy when you’re on your own

Not a loner…

At least not forever…

But it’s so easy when you’re on your own

But tonight… I’ll find… someone I’ll love forever…

Thank God I… survived… such a miserable encounter

And tonight… I’ll live… like I’ve never done before…

And somehow… I’ll enjoy it on my own…

And tonight… I’ll find… the one I’ll love forever…

She’s mine… always… and forever…

Some of my ramblings....

The false comfort of a Paper Paradise

He cured himself with a self diagnosis

The scars within faded with the touch of a pen

He put his heart to paper

He lived for the words

He lived for his own creation

His private written world

Years of a life released and born in a new form

He felt his mind in a new place, a new day would soon dawn

He went to bed and fell asleep and dreamt of fame

As he slept his room became a haven for the flame

Paper men with paper thoughts and paper words can still fall down

And the fires can destroy the paper town

A paper world can be lost in time within a seconds flash

The touch of a flame defeats the touch of the pen

The paper creation shall live on in his head

But like the paper people he shall one day be dead

His life was as fragile as a sheet of A4

Exposed and ruined by the rain

His heart was broken like a defeated fighter’s pride

Scars revisited with new found pain

His paper world was gone, He had nowhere to hide

Nowhere to escape the thoughts of suicide

Like a paper plane his life had hit the wall

And now all he had left was the final fall

Paper men with paper thoughts and paper words can still fall down

And the fires can destroy the paper town

A paper world can be lost in time within a seconds flash

The touch of a flame defeats the touch of the pen

The paper creation shall live on in his head

But like the paper people he shall one day be dead

One day

One day

Yes…One day

One day

One day

Yes…One Day

and that day is Today

Paper men with paper thoughts and paper words can still fall down

And the fires can destroy the paper town

A paper world can be lost in time within a seconds flash

The touch of a flame defeats the touch of the pen

The paper creation could have remained in his head

But like the paper people he is now Dead

In need of a new Nightmare

When I close my eyes

I can focus

I can feel it

My senses heighten

I can listen

I can hear it

Am I only hearing what I wish to hear?

Or am I only hearing what I wish to fear?

Insecurity gets the better of me

Inevitable it shall lead me to what I am destined to see

Only when I succumb to the darkness shall I be set free

Please tell me; please tell me, what can I do

All of my dreams, there coming true

My home is in the darkness, I belong there

The expectations of success, for me they scare

I need to drag myself down with a new nightmare

When I close my eyes

I see nothing yet I see it all

Just as it is meant to be seen

My senses heighten

I can listen

I can hear it

The voice of the monster that controls my life

The voice of the monster within

When it is heard and it’s seen the message is obscene

I know I am weak, I just cannot win

So I quit fighting with this unseen sin

Just staying on the ground level of his dark lair

It’s better than a fall from the light

But my dreams turn real and I find myself higher

I should feel alive but I feel so dead

I reach above and feel nothing on my head

Yet in my comfort zone of dirt, I wear the crown

I need a new source of negativity to drag me back down

Please tell me; please tell me, what can I do

All of my dreams, there coming true

My home is in the darkness, I belong there

The expectations of success, for me they scare

I need to drag myself down with a new nightmare

Level DH Reality

Day to day I manage, I get by okay

But someday the truth is too hard to hide from and I just have to say

I realize you had no place for me in your heart but in mine you’re not forgotten

Letting go was hard to do, but I sort of succeeded

But days come along when I think back, wishing things worked out different, because you are still needed.

Even back then I knew the happy ending would never come to be

But even still you had an amazing impact on me

Sometimes I hate myself for even thinking of you, for thinking this way

But other times thinking of you is the one thing that makes it all okay

Do I love you now? I don’t think I do

But there still exists a special connection with you

I often think about you and what you are doing now

And day dream of us reuniting somehow

But really I hope you found the true love you deserved to find

Living unaware of the damage you left behind

I see, I see

It wasn’t meant to be

I know I know

That I had to let you go

Separately we shall grow

One shall go high, one shall stay low

So many years have past, this feels so wrong

You should not still be in my head

I write heart felt words, make a generic song

Knowing that in my lifetime I will never kill this dream dead

It was not a reality then, and now you’re not even in my life

Not in sight at least, but your still there in thought

This experience, I look for what it taught

But I see no lessons learnt

But I feel my flame of desire has burnt

And it died out without anybody’s viewing

All this time has past, but what’s really changed?

I am still the same guy, just a little more deranged

I try to smile, make my home a happy zone

But you can only go so far when you feel so alone

I see, I see

It wasn’t meant to be

I know I know

That I had to let you go

Separately we shall grow

One shall go high, one shall stay low

I don’t know what the future holds for me, but I have a good idea

This is why I hope more then ever that somebody like you is near

Somebody who can help me find myself, help me get over all I fear

Somebody who’s love and care will set me free

Just somebody who loves me for being me

If you exist for me, I don’t know you yet

And I fear I never will, and in death that shall be a regret

Somewhere down the road of life I took a wrong turn into the valley of pain

Never will I regroup with the people I cared about again

They all have there own lives now, Lives that I don’t factor in

I understand this and I don’t hold blame, but it still hurts me within

If I blame anybody it has to be myself

I should have tried harder despite my mental health

I should never have let what I had go

Friendships like those just cannot re grow

I will get up tomorrow, smile and look to the future

And block all the negatives right to the back

But somewhere inside I will still be wishing that I could take it all back

I see, I see

It wasn’t meant to be

I know I know

That I had to let you go

Separately we shall grow

One shall go high, one shall stay low

Stayo Foco Electro

One two three four

And count forever more

Because I can never reach a limit

No height is high enough ya see, not a high enough summit

Five six seven eight

Counting proud as I toy with my fate

Taken back..but forever forward, Electrifying magic on this date

So fix up, look towards..Ride the energy wave

No getting off, Room only for the brave

Land of the lawless, quit trying to behave

The power sends out shockwaves, strikes your heart like lighting

And you know full well it’s too good to be freighting

Resist the power and you will falter and get shocked

And your path to destiny shall forever be blocked

But let’s not get down, no need to get this tainted

Just enjoy a grand moment, masterfully crafted and beautifully painted

I am static minded, my electric potential has been found

No longer blinded, I see the path I am bound

I hear radio waves from the future, I like how they sound

So Charge it up

Let’s take this high voltage,

Use up every watt

Cause I got a helluva lot

Too much to handle, overwhelming power

Blowing every fuse, charged up cause this is my hour

Oh I i.e..i.e..see the currents flowing within my eyes

Charged with emotion, charged with joy, no time for lies

You look to the clock; you see its fifteen to four

But this moment is timeless, you want it forever more

It is dark outside, but the power brings us light

Power provides because all is right on this night

Forever, Forever, Forever, and three more times, six on repeat

Hours have passed but you won’t give in to defeat

This party has just started so get back on your feet

Recharged feeling large, live grand don’t live small

Just let the music carry you and you shall never fall

Magnetism is at play, because you can’t keep away

And your just as addictive for me, I love it this way

I wait, hooked on every word you say

Too much, Too Much, twice for effect and to reflect..energy so forceful you can touch

I am static minded, my electric potential has been found

No longer blinded, I see the path I am bound

I hear radio waves from the future, I like how they sound

So Charge it up

Let’s take this high voltage,

Just let the current take you in motion

Ride the waves of emotion

I am out of lines, but this is your joint

Electrified and loving life, you get the point

Everyone past and present together at there best

Time stands still, nobody ever needs to rest

This will never end, this can never end..I want it forever and ever

Always together, potential unleashed

Eight Seven Six Five

Even in reverse I feel alive

Four three two one

Let this moment carry on

I am static minded, my electric potential has been found

No longer blinded, I see the path I am bound

I hear radio waves from the future, I like how they sound

So Charge it up

Let’s take this high voltage,

Keep it high voltage

Forever high voltage

Forever

Forever

Forever

YEAH

Repeated Performance

The past has moved on from me

But I’ve not moved from the past

Memories keep messing with me

How long will this last?

Never claimed to be a lyricist

I just write shit like a mentalist

I’ve got names of enemies on a pinup list and I throw darts at it when I’m pissed

Just a crazed maniac from the corrupt town named wood

Focusing on the bad and looking over the good

Understand, I would change that today if I could

That’s not playing, I truly would

You skim past my thoughts because you’re bored of this shit

I’m like a stuck record I have to admit

So now I move forward into a future that’s bright

Can’t be a wrong choice because it feels so right

But even with good intent I seem to lose sight

This new dance has really tough steps to master

No movement at all, may as well be body cast with plaster

Maybe I need to lose myself a little and move a bit faster

But despite the wishful thinking, in reality I am sinking

And it is back to the same old flow

The demon of the past won’t let me go, so how can I grow?

The past has moved on from me

But I’ve not moved from the past

Memories keep messing with me

How long will this last?

Like a razor cut that keeps on bleeding

The negatives within just keep on breeding

And desperately on positives I keep on feeding

But that does not reflect, this is so misleading

It is time for a change so I take life by its balls

I venture forwards, take to the stage, but get no applause

Something then scratches at my mind state, scratching like claws

Takes such a bite out of my positive I feel like I am being feasted on by Jaws

Overflowing with energy, somebody pull the plug on me

Electrified with mixed thoughts that are trapped within and longing to be free

One day they will all join up and form into something good to see

Or they will just explode and result in the end of me

Life is a gamble; maybe I am just part of an unlucky deck

Need to leave the waters of darkness quick, cursed waters are up above my neck

I look back on memories and smile but they are blocked out by regrets

Sometimes..only sometimes

But sometimes is enough

The past has moved on from me

But I’ve not moved from the past

Memories keep messing with me

How long will this last?

When the strings break (The fall of the PuppetMaster)

Life ended as I once knew it when I took my seat

After a few poison words you had me beat

I was blinded from the truth and brainwashed by the lies

Truth is I could see nothing but good in your eyes

I turned into a puppet on strings under your control

I was just another victim brainwashed into a desired role

Those words you had to say, they made me believe you

You made me feel special; I thought you held nobody above me

I could rest after a long day thinking somebody out there loved me

But back then I never realized your love had a price

And I would take the fall for the master with the heart as cold as ice

If only I could’ve seen then all the things I see now

But the fact is you fooled me

I ask myself why and I ask myself how

But when it comes to life’s lessons you really schooled me

Just be aware I will get revenge somehow

I cannot turn back the hands of time

And even though I was controlled mentally it was I who did the crime

Just realize that I did it all in your name

But where are you now to comfort me in my times of grief and pain?

I bet you are out there somewhere brainwashing somebody new

I bet I am not even worth a memory to you

But that is ok; it is more anger to spark my fire

And when I get out of this cell I will expose you as a fraud, that’s right, fucking bitch liar

I am coming for you if it’s the last thing I do

I will near enough make you drown in your own blood shed, slice slice, permanent tattoo

But I wont kill you, I will make you live with it

and then you can explain to everybody you meet just why you now look like shit

Because a puppet you once controlled broke from his strings

And you are a victim of the pain that very puppet brings

If only I could’ve seen then all the things I see now

But the fact is you fooled me

I ask myself why and I ask myself how

But when it comes to life’s lessons you really schooled me

Just be aware I will get revenge somehow

I read about you in a newspaper in the recreation room

It seems more puppets are rebelling and they wish for your doom

I would get to you first if I wasn’t inside

But many are still out there so I suggest you hide

You had the power and you used it all wrong

But now all the puppets group together for revenge and you are not so strong

I am safe from your hurtful ways while stuck in this cell

But out there you are a wanted man..they are coming for you..enjoy your trip to hell

If only I could’ve seen then all the things I see now

But the fact is you fooled me

I ask myself why and I ask myself how

But when it comes to life’s lessons you really schooled me

Just be aware I will get revenge somehow

So one day the inevitable news came to me that you had died

But the shocking news to me was that it was via suicide

I guess you got yourself before they got to you

That’s not a thing a person with your power should do

But your power was used wrong and your actions came back to bite you

And I guess all the regrets in your mind would constantly do battle and fight you

And it was a fight that you could never win

Because you just drowned in your own mentality and memories of past sin

And now you are gone, I am a Puppet off my strings..and my life will re begin

If only I could’ve seen then all the things I see now

But the fact is you fooled me

I used to ask myself why and I used to ask myself how

But when it comes to life’s lessons you really schooled me

But in the end the pupils outsmarted the teacher

[penguinman]

Here's something I wrote.

Who Am I

Give me the money but keep the fame

Now that I'm paid nothing's changed

I'm still the same guy inside this hip hop game

Who am I kidding, I'm broke as fuck I hope my luck escapes these flames

I know that what can hold me up can also drive me insane

My emotions are critical, my devotion is minimal

Though my notions are illing yo, my promotions are lyrical

My rhymes are reflected by how I'm feeling inside

Whether I'm bragging or saddened by how I'm dealing with life

Who am I, I couldn't tell you, with fears that I will fail you

For years though I will sail through, these tears that will devalue

My years up on this Earth, what tears are often worth

Are nothing but they will cost you, I'm hoping I haven't lost you

Through this ranting and raving, debating that you must crawl through

Though this lesson is deep, no professor can teach

You how to live your life your only blessing is sleep

Cause only then can you pretend that this world you're living in

Is the perfect blend of flavors like sugar and cinnamon

Who am I, I'm not imprisoned but I'm also not free

Living life inside a lie will often cost you a fee

Be true to yourself cause only then you can see

Who you are, who am I, I'm just another emcee

[YI]

Fuck it...welcome to the suck...this is a first draft, and it's off the top of my head (saved on a different PC), so some lines may be wrong...and a couple of stuff need changed (especially towards the end).

:::THE FUTURE'S WHITE:::

The future's bright

Filled with silhouettes and strobe lights

The faces you can't quite make out

The tunes that last the night

My future's bright

Filled with swaying hips and laddered tights

I can't see your body, honey

But your soul looks alright

The future's bright

Filled with hollow threats and broken fights

I'm a lost adventurer

Who's searching for the light

My future's bright

Must be this angel by my side

Take me home with you, honey

I wont sleep a wink tonight

...cos...

Last night I may have met the man

I couldn't hear the choirs

But there was judgement in his eyes

He said "Live for the future now

Make something of your life"

Tonight I will ask him how

The future's white

While darkness, there's never night

My angel's spread her wings awide

To fly off with my light

My future's white

But I'm scraping the bottom now

Of the bag, of the barrel (EUGH...at this line )

I make no sound...*sigh*

...but the words were right...

Last night I may have met the man

I couldn't hear the choirs

But there was judgement in his eyes

He said "Live for the future now

Make something of your life"

Tonight I will ask him how

ONE MORE TIME AND I SWEAR I'LL GET TO HEAVEN

OR AT LEAST I WILL DIE BY TRYING

(FYS GANG VOCAL STYLEEE...FUCK YEAH!)

My future's night

...destroy.

[Dingle]

You did more damage with those lyrics than I ever could criticising it.

[Vamp]

I've only ever written awful lyrics, most of which sound pathetic and poppy. However, I'm willing to post them up and look a fool.

Been Your Saviour

When you’re down and in trouble

I’m the one you call

Why can’t you leave me alone?

You know I’ll never let you fall

Life’s a struggle

It’s always been one

You’re in pain

I know that hun’

But you can’t get through it

You haven’t got the strength

You haven’t even tried

I see you falling

And I come a running

I can’t let you drown

It’s my life I’ll ruin

Forget my beating heart

I’ll just let it break apart

For you I’d die

Just to see you smile

And though I know I shouldn’t

Because you broke my heart so long ago

And while I ought to hate you

I can never let you down

I hear your yells at night

And I forget my hate

I see you bleeding

And I patch your wounds up

And if I could

I’d kiss you gently on the cheek

And tell you it’s all ok

I’d die to save you

From this nightmare

But I can’t

I’ve been your savoiur

But I’m not meant to be

Don’t be surprised when we part

Collision

Collision

I'm drowning in your humour

While mine is rather dry

To be frank you look like a bean pole

Where as I'm rather well formed

Your mumma is a copper

My Dad's a star in rock 'n roll

Like that's gonna stop us

I haven't heard from mine at all

We're from different planets

Yet they keep on colliding

And we're spinning out of control

At least it means that life is never dull

This might just be a flash

Or it could be a life time

All I know is life's too short

I'm living for the now

You dance in the West End

I dance like a fool

I'm earning a thousand pounds an hour

You're living off the dole

Your friends think you're crazy

Mine think I'm getting old

They said to me that this could never work

I don't know what you've been told

We're from different planets

Yet they keep on colliding

And we're spinning out of control

At least it means that life is never dull

This might just be a flash

Or it could be a life time

All I know is life's too short

I'm living for the now

When you're being wedded

You'll be beautiful in white

And when I'm getting divorced

I'll more than likely be sleeping with a whore

Your shuttles off to Venus

You're going back to where you were born

Mine seems destined for hell

But I've got a life to live before

We're from different plants

Yet they keep on colliding

And we're spinning out of control

At least it means that life is never dull

This might just be a flash

Or it could be a life time

All I know is life's too short

I'm living for the now

Not One For Regrets

What do you think when you look at me?

Do you see me as scum?

I bet you’re glad you’re not my mum

You call me all sorts of names

From a sinner to the devil

But in all honesty babe

I’m just living a life of no regrets…

You text me today

To tell me that you hate me

Be honest to yourself girl

You enjoyed it as much as me.

You tell me I’m a gonna die lonely

And you’re probably right

But to be honest babe

I wouldn’t be fussed if I died tonight.

See what I’m trying to say

Is I’m living a life of no regrets

I've got five golden bullets in my gun

And lightening in a bottle

I guess what I'm trying to say 'hun

Is that I'm living a life with no regrets

What do you mean when you try to say

That you thought that I loved you

You seemed to have misunderstood me babe

You were just my easy lay.

I’m not looking for a noble peace prize

Nor any wife and kids

I just want some fun girl

And if you’re not up for that

I guess you can move along now

Good luck and all that shit

See what I’m trying to say

Is I’m living a life of no regrets

I've got five golden bullets in my gun

And lightening in a bottle

I guess what I'm trying to say 'hun

Is that I'm living a life with no regrets

The sky opened up for me today

I saw God at about quarter to three

I’d love to say it was moving for me

But to be honest, there wasn’t much he could say.

Does it make you feel better

If we pretend I’m Satan?

Would it make you feel better

If I hide my feelings away?

See what I’m trying to say

Is I’m living a life of no regrets

I've got five golden bullets in my gun

And lightening in a bottle

I guess what I'm trying to say 'hun

Is that I'm living a life with no regrets

And I know that one day

When I’m old and grey

I’ll be lying on my death bed

And there’ll be no one beside me

I guess that’ll show me.

Show Stealer

Intro-Instrumental Piece

Verse 1:

There he stood

In the centre of the stage

The house lights out

The guitar set to blaze

He took his mic

And stepped into the spot light

And for that one second

The world was his stage.

Chorus 1:

They call him the Show Stealer

He’s always the highlight of the night

He has the crowd in his hands

And a thousand dollars in his pockets

They call him the Show Stealer

He’s the one the world watches

With baited breath

For he fears nothing

Not even death…

Verse 2:

The crowd all rise

They stand on their feet

They clap and cheer

And there he stands

His hands on his hips

Whispering in their ear

Mr. Manipulator:

Which song would you like to hear?

Chorus 2:

They call him the Show Stealer

He’s always the highlight of the night

He has the crowd in his hands

And a thousand dollars in his pockets

They call him the Show Stealer

With baited breath

For he fears nothing

Not even death…

Middle 8:

They call you the Show Stealer?

Well here, take my gun

You’ll shoot yourself in the head

But the world won’t miss you, my son…

Verse 3:

There was once a man

Who had all the fame

That there ever was to claim

Show Stealer they called him

I never knew his real name

I always wondered though

Where could he have gone?

Chorus 3

They call him the Show Stealer

He’s always the highlight of the night

He has the crowd in his hands

And a thousand dollars in his pockets

They call him the Show Stealer

He’s the one the world watches

With baited breath

For he fears nothing

Not even death…

Chorus 4:

They call him the Show Stealer

He’s always the highlight of the night

He has the crowd in his hands

And a thousand dollars in his pockets

They call him the Show Stealer

He’s the one the world watches

With baited breath

For he fears nothing

Not even death…

See, I told you there were god awful.
