Songs You Wrote

[Azerane]

The songs I write generally have melodies to them, my most recent one did. Though I'm too shy to sing it too anybody because I don't think my melodies are any good

[This Land]

Go On azzy

You know you want to :noogie:

Only Human

Last night we went to see the play about your life
It was critically acclaimed, naturally
But actually, after two and a half hours of thinking it was accurate
We realise they cut of vital scenes of dreams about me

So darling, what do you propose?
A night on the tiles in bloodstained clothes
A venture into the scene of the crime
Taken at nine-thirty last night

Here are the photographs of what you did to me
Here are the transcripts of the lies you need to see
Here are explosives used to take away the pain
Of the long nights spent alone in summer rain
Take the matches and the greetings cards with you
There's nothing you could say that ever could be true
And as you're walking out the door you realise
These won't be the last tears to fall from your eyes

Another day, another revelation when you tell me you never loved me
But actually, it didn't come as too much of a shock
Especially when you consider the fact that you keep on lying
Please, it's too late to say 'I love you'

So darling, what do you propose?
A night on the tiles in bloodstained clothes
A venture into the scene of the crime
Taken at nine-thirty last night

Here are the photographs of what you did to me
Here are the transcripts of the lies you need to see
Here are explosives used to take away the pain
Of the long nights spent alone in summer rain
Take the matches and the greetings cards with you
There's nothing you could say that ever could be true
And as you're walking out the door you realise
These won't be the last tears to fall from your eyes

The perfect days are gone, and I'm sort of glad I no longer live in that illusion
But even though the times are gone, the memories remain with the confusion still attached

So darling, what do you propose?
A night on the tiles in bloodstained clothes
A venture into the scene of the crime
Taken at nine-thirty last night

Here are the photographs of what you did to me
Here are the transcripts of the lies you need to see
Here are explosives used to take away the pain
Of the long nights spent alone in summer rain
Take the matches and the greetings cards with you
There's nothing you could say that ever could be true
And as you're walking out the door you realise
These won't be the last tears to fall from your eyes

So darling, what do you propose?
A night on the tiles in bloodstained clothes
A venture into the scene of the crime
Taken at nine-thirty last night

And as the reality sinks in deeper, I hope you feel remorse
You are the only one who ever made me think it could never get worse
Although it always did, naturally

[Azerane]

Wow that's awful... so well and amazingly written... but right now, it's so heartwrenching.

[Monai]

Thanks Azzy ^^ Hope it didn't affect you too much, I didn't really write it for any purpose other than just to write, really. Sorry if it upset you, I definitely didn't intend that. **

[Azerane]

No, it's cool.. not your fault. Just means it's a powerful song.

[lion_roog]

Wow! that's awesome work, Monai..

Here's something I've been working on tonight...

"Am I dreaming" (Incomplete)

Am I dreaming

When will I awake

I hope it's not today

I hope
I hope
I hope this feeling will never go away

Am I dreaming

Or is this heaven

I hope this will never end

I hope
I hope
I hope this is how I will always be livin'

When I'm holding her close at night
My life feels as if it will always be right
Not a dark cloud in the sky
My Baby making me feel alright

When I look into her beautiful eyes
I feel as if a weight as been lifted from me
My life is just beginning
And she is my everything

When I run my hand along her skin
I feel as if I've been living in heaven
It is now eleven
And my heart is movin'

When I feel that kiss from her lips
I feel as if a beat my heart skips
She's my missing lioness
Everything that I've missed

Am I dreaming

When will I awake

I hope it's not today

I hope
I hope
I hope this feeling will never go away

Am I dreaming

Or is this heaven

I hope this will never end

I hope
I hope
I hope this is how I will always be livin'

She is the angel of my dreams
coming to me
To save me
Sweet baby
Making me
Feel so heavenly

She is the angel sent to me
coming to me
To save me
Sweet baby
Making me
Feel like it's meant to be

Am I dreaming

When will I awake

I hope it's not today

I hope
I hope
I hope this feeling will never go away

Am I dreaming

Or is this heaven

I hope this will never end

I hope
I hope
I hope this is how I will always be livin'

[Azerane]

That's good Roog, coming along real nice. Hope you finish it sometime

ADDITION:

Something I was working on a little while ago.. but blarg... didn't really get anywhere with it...

If I could paint a picture
Of my fondest memory
A starry sky would stretch so far
Above a sea of green
The greenest grass you?ve ever seen
On which we lay that day
A day that seemed so far, away?

For it seemed so long that we were not
Able to be with each other
And for so long I did not belong
Where I was without you
And I knew that I, though far apart
Could not settle for another

[Monai]

sorry to necro this, but i just wrote a song, and well, this is the place, i believe.

Song for Lake Michigan (completely random title, lol)

I have come to a point
Where the city ends
And we're into the motorway
The street lights thin and fade away
The roads are blacker than they seem
In the dark of the winter night we're driving through

I've come to a point
Where the reality ends
And we're into a fictional view
And here's me at a wedding
I've locked lips and eyes on you
Let's rejoice and drink fake champagne
For the vows that we never said

Because when we have no one to hate
We hate ourselves
The prevailing wind will change
And the clouds will focus on me
And drowning out the sunlight
Is the primary aim in the sadistic imaginary game

I have come to the point
Where the land ends by the river's bank
And the bridge towers overhead
The structure they called great
A great place to end a life
I'm sure that's what they meant
I can't find any other meaning

Don't dream, 'cause you'll dream yourself to death
It's a realistic thought
And if you wake, you might realise you're wrong

For every penny on the street
There's a guy out there who turns in his sleep
Because they know they didn't want anything that they got
But life never turns out the way that you want

[Monai]

I wrote another song. And I know I'm double posting, but it's been more than a week since my last post anyway.

Landfills

The line's there, and we've crossed it a few hundred times
The line between reality and your hallucinations is blurred
No matter how many times we try to draw it back in

And you've wrote 'i love you' on paper and plastic a thousand times
It doesn't apply anymore
You've burned some of them, the others you've simply scratched away the message

And your mind's fragile today
So we're leaving it alone, being careful not to touch
And you're sat there in the corner
Making marks on what's becoming a letter
Don't send this to me,
Because you and I both know that everything you say
Will fill up landfills, every word unread

Don't come looking for me, I've changed my address
By the time you find it, it'll be out of date again
Call off the search before it's too late

I know that you're writing the notes back in
To the places you burned and scratched off,
I hope you realise I'm not going to return the favour

Your mind's fragile today
So we're leaving it alone, being careful not to touch
And you're sat there in the corner
Making marks on what's becoming a letter
Don't send this to me,
Because you and I both know that everything you say
Will fill up landfills, every word unread

There's times when I figured it could work again,
But they've all faded into the distance,
It's complicated and I know we both want this
But we don't want anyone to get hurt,
It's better if we just leave this alone
Singing out of key to a fake attack of melody

Your mind's fragile today
So we're leaving it alone, being careful not to touch
And you're sat there in the corner
Making marks on what's becoming a letter
Don't send this to me,
Because you and I both know that everything you say
Will fill up landfills, every word unread

[Guntur]

Here's mine, it's not perfect, yet....

Forever.

Kau, Bagaikan sang suria (You are the sunshine)
yang menyinari hidupku, (That shine on me)
mengukir senyuman di bibirku (you make me smile)
membuat hatiku riang dan gembira. (and make me free and happy)

Dan ku, tidak tahu bagaimana (And I, Did not know)
ku hendak menunjuk cintaku padamu (how to show my love to you)
kerana kau sempurna untukku (Because you are the one for me)
selamanya. (Forever)

Wahai cinta, cinta lah aku (Oh love, love me)
kerna kau yang satu (because you are the one)
di dalam dadaku ini (in my heart)
oh cinta, datang padaku (Love, come to me)
dan kau juga tahu (And you know)
yang ku milikmu (I am yours)
Selamanya (Forever)

Indah, sangat terindah (Lovely, it's so lovely)
bila kau hampiri daku (when you come to me)
dan ku berikan padamu (and I'll give you)
cinta yang sempurna, (a perfect love)
demi kita berdua, (for you and me)

[Ciara]

go charlie ... sing it for me sometime when i drop by

[Cova_Lioness]

Roog's poetry its top brass

[Stimba]

Hey, you wanna hear something really emo? This is a song I wrote back when I was depressed, and nowadays it kinda makes me laugh...
Its supposed to be an aggressive song, thus the exclamation marks. And because the song is a metallic piece, the growling-parts are written inside of (these).. Enjoy...or don't! XD

Me, Me, Me!

(Kill me!), Kiss me!
(Push me!), tenderly..
(Beat me til' there's nothing left!
Mock all the things I kept -
Precious!

It doesn't effect me!)

(But still I'll keep laughing on the inside 666 feet under)
(The hate inside my head explodes!)
('Cause all the pain comes from my mind!)

Go asleep!
(I'll just destroy the world I'm in!)

(Kill me!), Kiss me!
(Push me!), tenderly..
All the time that I have wept..
Now that you've left..
(It doesn't effect me!)

My code is rotten! (Almost forgotten..)
My fire is finished! (Nearly diminished..)
The cold is filling me! (Slowly killing me..)
I am not who I used to be! (abused to the highest degree..)
(..where i am - no - longer -
ME!)
------------------------

To prevent double-posting, I'll post this nother one here..

Irreversable

(The red light catches my eye,
and without a thought I prepare to die.
But when I watch my life pass me by,
I decide..
...to stay alive.)

(We're going on this endless road,
which chokes us form the new inhalation.)

(I see them everywhere,
staring eyes with piercing glares.
The truth is not what you see.
It's building up inside of me.)

Can you hear the silence?
How it's calling to me, screaming to me.
Will you stay with me?
Can you hear the silence?

(We're going on this endless road,
which chokes us from the new inhalation.)

Can you hear the silence?
How it's calling to me, screaming to me.
Will you stay with me?
Can you hear the silence?
(Listen!)

(Just empty promises of empty future times.
But as I see the lies, my feelings die..
But I'm not who I seem to be.
No, I'm not, though I seem to be, no.)

(My only choice
is to raise my voice.
Do the irreversable!)

Can you hear the silence?
How it's calling to me, screaming to me.
Will you stand with me?
Can you hear the silence?

"The Sound of Footsteps"

I hear the sound of footsteps
Within an empty hall
I turn to see, but to my regret
It's no one at all

I wonder where we got here
How it could come to this
And I can't help these tears, for crying
Of missing bliss

As I walked by today
The trees did all share whispers
And much to my dismay
The conversation was of us
Feeling lonely, feeling nothing at all
Seeing faces, seeing everything fall
For I'm at home today
And I'm alone, today

I look back at the memories
But find they are so blurred
Was it really all, that long ago
I thought I would have heard

I hardly recognise you
Your voice, the way you smile
It seems it's been much longer than
Just a short while

Can anyone tell me why this happened
And what became of us
Does anyone know when we were together
And what made us bust

Feeling lonely, feeling nothin at all
Seeing faces, seeing everything fall
For I'm at home today
And I'm alone, today

I hear the sound of footsteps
Within an empty hall
But I don't turn to look, for I know
It's no one at all

[Katari]

This was for Roog's rhyming thread in the Elephant Graveyard, but I wanted to put it here, too, so maybe some others would see it.


"Hard to Believe"

[Verse One]
If everybody could have a girl like this one
No, shut up and listen, 'cause she's my mission
It ain't rocket science, like some kinda illusion
Walked into my life, and just gave me some fusion

Don't tell me it's hopeless, yo, nothin' ever is
Get together later on, she gonna put me on skids
Nothin' don't matter, but the way that she feels
Please tell I'm not asleep, and this is for real

[Chorus]
I'm hooked like a fish; don't you wish you could be?
Got nothin' to hide; when I ride it's just her and me
'Cause she stole my heart; and I'll start to believe
When my fantasy's reality and it's all I receive

[Verse two]
If it just falls apart, like tomorrow, don't start
'Cause I've got the gas to fast like we in a go-kart
But now you say you mad, I'm not glad, not a fad
And the way you're dissin' me, makin' me look like I'm bad

Don't mean to offend, don't you ever say that it sucks
I was gonna cream yo' coffee like we was at Starbucks

[Chorus]
I was hooked like a fish; don't you wish you could be?
I had nothin' to hide; when I ride, notjust her and me
'Cause she stole my heart; and then tore it apart
Now you told me those lies, and I'll never believe
'Cause reality's my fantasy, the moment you leave

[Simbaspirit]

stimba, i would not be ashamed of those at all. they are really very good. i could hear the music in my head as i read the words... and i quite liked how it sounded
