As Tal suggested...
Feel free to post you own if you do so wish, I intend to add some of my others later on.

Take Me Home
Death it seems is looming near,
dark and black is what I fear.
Dangerbells booming in my brain,
screaming curses, I'm insane.

Locked inside this padded cell,
none to hurt but myself.
Communication link is gone,
now I know that I'm alone.

[Chorus]
This place is dead, take me home
I am dead, take me home
wasting painfully, take me home
take me home, take me home

Wrap my arms up, intense cold
wishing curses on this world
Deathly pale, my heart is dead
Living dankly no life thread

My will is gone, shell of steel
torn apart, i do not feel
unbroken silence muffling me
all i want is to be free

Chorus

Straight jacket love is blazing hell
I wait here for the final bell
When death rides for me
I'll welcome him without a scream

Chorus

Take Me Home.

 

A morbid love song...very interesting, but excellent none the less.

 

I posted some of these here last year some time. However i will post those and some more now:

This first one was written about 16-18 months ago-

Chorus:
I look for sympathy
But all I get are points and stares
And worthless empathy
Because no-one cares

But maybe out there
Someone cares
Or maybe it’s just another hopeless dream
Sometimes I just want to stand and scream.

Chorus:
I look for sympathy
But all I get are points and stares
And worthless empathy
Because no-one cares

Once or twice I had dreams
But I always woke up
Into the nightmare of my life
So I just keep on singing.

Chorus

I thought I had friends
I thought they‘d help
But they just blame me
Cos no-one cares that it’s not my fault.

Chorus

Now people don’t listen to the music
They just mock me
And throw their sh*t at me
Why me, (slower) Why me.

Chorus 2
I still look for sympathy
Still they just give me points and stares
But maybe there’s a better place
Maybe out there

That’s where I’m a gonna go
They gave me some pills
Told me they’d take me to a better place
Where there are green hills
And no-one mocks you.


Chorus 2

I put them in my mouth
But I’m still here
Sitting on a street corners singing this song
There is no better place just here and now.


I look for sympathy
But all I get are points and stares
And worthless empathy
Because no-one cares
No-one cares about one guy
Sitting on the corner
On a one-way ride to hell
Maybe there is a better place somewhere
But there ain’t no way to get there.
We are here and now
But no-one cares
If you live, if you die
No-one cares
When you die and you look for them pearly gates
But all you can see is a fast one-way ride to hell.
Cos even hell is a better place than here
But no-one cares
No-one cares.


Hate

You hate me
You hate me for who i am and what i was
You hate me for what i did and what i said
You hate me for who you were and what you became
You hate me for what i know

Does your hate know limits
of the grey clouds of your mind?
Did i set it free?
Or do you open the cage?

You took back what you said
and tried to hide the truth
then you tear it all away
Give me the lies
Give me the mis-truths
I can't handle reality

It changes from day to day
From high to low but always hate
How did i get caught up in this fray?
Pack me up in a crate
Send me off to the city
I don't want your pity
Now give me the lows
Give me the dips
I can't handle the high doze
Now it tears and rips

Does it change at all?
Or does it just move
I live in apall
But what does that prove?

This only says the lies
Of another day of pain
Send me away so i cries
Then snatch me back again
I turn round so i fall
But the torment doesn't stop
I stand short and tall
One day we learn why we drop
When we do we stand and glare
No-one believes the truth
It messes up your hair
Theres a hill on that booth
It collapses around me
The world is gone
But still it's out to get me, us, you, him, her, IT!
It's out there
Round every corner of the circle
Every bend in the square
It knows what it is
But we live amongst our lies
We turn to the radio
But it blows up in our face
The fastest race
is never started
Because it'll always get you..
HATE!


Those 2 were (some of) the ones that i posted before. These are newer ones (though i do not have all my lyrics on this computer).

Special

Do you know that i sit around every nite
Waiting for your call
Staring at the fone
Staring at the wall

But theres a wall in my heart
I can't get over it
I can't go round
I can't get the memory
outa my head
outa my head

I see you all around me
Every sense thinks your still here
But my heart knows your gone
Did i really stand a chance?

Just an ordinary guy
with just one chance for happiness
One chance for joy
One chance for one ordinary guy
with one special girl

You hung around for a while
But i didnt see my chance
Now you're with a special guy
No ordinary guy for you
Cos your too special
to be mine.


Alive The spaced formatting is intentional.

My senses
tell me that
i'm alive
But i don't belive them
My senses
tell me that
i'm alive
But how can this be
that
i'm alive?

You're gone
You left so long ago
Not even a note goodbye
I'm not even worth that much

Had to hear it second hand
It's too much
It's no good
So, yea, you left me
So, i'm alone
But i'm alive
But how can this be?

Cos you've gone away
And you're not coming back today
To
let me know
that
you're still there
With me
Even though you're not here
And you're gone so far, far away
From me
And i'm not
alive anymore

Dirty Rock < i have no idea how i wrote this one

I'm not listening
with my dirty mind
Not gona hear those words
that i left behind

Not turning back
to the way i was
Staying clean
all alone

Content, as a rock
and i will rock no more
not far
not near
from here
im gone
so say goodbye
and i'll be
another rock
and i will rock no more

Ain't gonna walk the streets
listen to the dirty beat
underneath my feet
keepin the clean shoes
keepin the clean way
Passin by the rocks
of another generation
and i will
rock no more

Sailin away
livin the life that im wishin for
but that life's back there
back along those streets
back along that beat

Can't quite seem to find the
words to let me go
from this rock of my rock
flesh of flesh
hate of my love
time to rock again
like a rock


Ok have just discovered that all my other songs are at my other computer (which i can not get to until tuesday, will post then).


@Baezlebub , very good song

 

OK i'm back at my house proper, and here are some of the remaining songs, in no particular order (just as i find them).

This one i appear to have just entiteled ballad. I don't remember writing it.


there was a time
when i couldn't move
and there was a day
when i couldn't tell
But now all is well
and i can see
what i want
and go to the places
that i want to go

I've been here before
When i was young
the earth turned to dust
beneath my feet
and i could run
like those that knew
what to see

But there was a time
when i couldn't move
and on a day
i could not see
which way to go
then i tuurned and saw my way

faster i turn from this world
faster it follows behind
can i get away?

I know your face
the shape of your mouth
your hair and eyes
but now i see them not
this is the turn
you live and die everyday
no memories

faster i turn from this world
faster it follows behind
can i get away?


Locked alone

So i'm all alone
Yea, so, you left me
Left me all alone

The curtains are twitching
And yea im still itching
for your touch
The windows are tight shut

Locking myself out
Cos you locked me in
You held me down
Tried to make me yours
But i was already there
Locked in your heart
All alone

Yeah i'm alone
But not like you'd notice
Needing your touch
Melting to your sight

Trying to keep it all together
Stop the swinging door
Slammed shut
so long ago

And i'm
Locking myself out
Cos you locked me in
You held me down
Tried to make me yours
But i was already there
Locked in your heart
All alone

That Boy

You're looking around
But im not around anymore
I'm not here to watch you
I'm not here to see you buy
You never asked why

I was just that boy
some guy
the one you never knew

You never wondered
Who the one you couldn't see was
Never asked why
i was always around
but never there

I was just that boy
some guy
the one you never knew
the one not good enough
for you

Your seeming puzzled
Cos im not here but you never cared
When i was
Who i am
What i need

I was just that boy
some guy
the one you never knew

I was just that boy
some guy
the one you never knew
the one not good enough
for you
Never living up to you
Never sayin what i knew
Did you feel it too?
Then why'd you never see me

Now im gone
not that boy
not some guy
cos you never knew me
to say goodbye

to that boy
just some guy
the one you never saw
the one you never knew
Never saw that boy
Some guy you never knew
Now he's gone
and now you know you needed him
you needed that boy
the one you never saw
just some guy
but he's the one you never knew
and he's the one you need now

Wound(ed)

The wounds of those
who bear no scar
are those wounds of the soul
they live with them under the skin
the pain of their existence
is not that of a living nightmare
but of a long death of un-denied end
their death is long and already gone
now they walk and talk
their pain is in the world around us
but no-one turns to them to help
only the wounds we see can be healed

The wounds of those
that can't be seen
are not seen
when I'm down
when I'm high
and I'm all around
but those wounds don't heal
the deepness of a feather
cuts my soul in two


And when I'm down
I can't give no more
lay me down to die
beneath the dying sky
I can't take it no more
the wounds don't heal
though they are long past

but I'm down
and I won't get up again
leave me be
let me go
turn away
I'll stay
For my epitaph

Killed by the wounds that can't be seen
Thinner than a feather
Deeper than a valley
No rest for this soul
Of tormented pain


When and How

The wounds of those
who bear no scar
are those wounds of the soul
they live with them under the skin
the pain of their existence
is not that of a living nightmare
but of a long death of un-denied end
their death is long and already gone
now they walk and talk
their pain is in the world around us
but no-one turns to them to help
only the wounds we see can be healed

The wounds of those
that can't be seen
are not seen
when I'm down
when I'm high
and I'm all around
but those wounds don't heal
the deepness of a feather
cuts my soul in two


And when I'm down
I can't give no more
lay me down to die
beneath the dying sky
I can't take it no more
the wounds don't heal
though they are long past

but I'm down
and I won't get up again
leave me be
let me go
turn away
I'll stay
For my epitaph

Killed by the wounds that can't be seen
Thinner than a feather
Deeper than a valley
No rest for this soul
Of tormented pain


I've also written songs that were more poems, though i do sing them when i write them. I haven't posted those though.

THat is really quite deep, man. Are they just lyrics, or is there music to them as well?

I really should pull my finger out and post some more, these ones with a link to the music. I am really lazy.

Ps. I never meant my song to be a love song. Is that how it come across?>

 

Beazlebub

You are very interesting. Nice and realistic. You are quite a pragmatist right? Since when did you start studying "Eastern Mysticism" over vanilla "Western Philosophy"?

Cool
