Horns Without a Halo
********************
I'm quick and I'm cunning
You'll never ever catch me
I'm innocent, you think
But you'll never ever tame me

I'm the devil on your shoulder
I'm the trick stuck up your sleeve
I'm a shadow apparition
Keeping you in a ease

The greatest trick the devil pulled
Was to make the world believe
His existent was a figment
Of an imaginary sneeze

I'm cold and I'm heartless
I'll stomp you into the ground
But before you can put a finger on it
I disappear without a trace or sound

They say to keep your friends close
And your enemies under a closer eye
I'll rip you off, you'll beg for more
You can never say goodbye

Some angels have wings
Some roses do survive the snow
But don't let these looks deceive
I've got horns without a halo

This is very intriguing smiling smiley

Seethe
Hate
Berate
Lust
Lack of trust

Broken Promise
************
I'm glad you lied
When you promised to leave
Because somewhere inside
You still believed

All the words said in rage
Were not meant to stab
Slowly I healed
Pick off the scab

And where was I
For so long a time
You found me in pieces
You made me mine

A symbol of hope
This beacon of light
Where I was wrong
You set things right

Broken and bruised
Battered and sore
Because of you
I hurt no more <3

I think this is an interesting concept. We actually create ourselves but the influence of others on us shapes our belief system.

^ever find yourself doing things for everyone else around you "because that's the way you were brought up"? well, that mold is hard to break.

Irreversible Damage
***************
Gutted like a pig
Heart snapped like a twig
Should have know better
Than to have let you in

Tore it all apart
Lost right from the start
you knew how to fake it
Stole a part of me

Not as sad as I'd have thought
The stink of filth and rot
Permeates my skin
Nothing can help me now

Dive deep inside of hate
Open up the gates
Let the demons through
And let them do their deed

 

02/17/09 2:13 AM

All but forgotten
************
If you must leave then go
I will not try to stop you
I tried but it wasn't enough
I let myself falter
If you have an answer
I still do not know the question
Lightyears ahead of me
I really let you down
Sink sink sink
Deep inside
Sink sink sink
Cannot bear to see
Sink sink sink
Wait to die
You've lost your hold on me

Alone
*****
Here I stand watching
Waiting for the crowd to clear
No one even stops
Or acknowledges I am here

The whirl wind blows
Wish it would take me away
But I stand watching
Here is where I'm doomed to stay

Perhaps all the faces
Smiling laughing joking
Are like my bruise
That I keep on poking

The wretched pain
Reminds me I'm still here
Running away
Doesn't change what I fear

Surrounded by you
And always so alone
The coldness creeps
Attacks deep inside my bones

Hollowed out
Insides rotten sludge
Can't let go
I still hold a grudge

thumbs up good stuff smiling smiley

This reminds me of the over exaggerated clown faces that people wear when congregated in insincerity. It's like you notice this and being around them is like agitating a wound as you listen to the roar of their pitiful accomplishments.

Interesting interpretation, I don't usually know exactly what I mean when I write the verses, but reading your interpretation and comments forces me to reflect deeper.

I think maybe replace "accomplishment" with "compliments" and maybe that's what I was getting at. *goes off to ponder*

This is my favorite of them all. This is how I feel most of the time. Keep writing, because you're great and I haven't seen anything I don't like!

If you find the time would you mind commenting on my lyrics? I would like some feedback on my latest piece.

Crushed
******
What is the sound
Of reaching into my chest
Gripping the rhythmic pounding
Silencing the life pumping
Stillness of my heart
Snuffing out the dreams
Each whisper of hope
Caught in chains
And drowned in despair
Does it sound like
The vast emptiness of space
The eternal cold abyss
The dark soul-less stare
Gazing at you now?

 

03/02/09 11:39 PM

Euphemism
*******
Calm sitting quiet
Observing the past
From a rear view mirror
This part won't last
Or so I'm told

Another uneventful day
Concludes upon itself
I choose isolation
Cast upon myself
It's better this way

Barely a whisper
Escapes my lips
My shining marquee
The moon does eclipse
Importance forgotten

Dive in the void
Of darkened eternity
My smirk betrays
Feigned insincerity
My smile dazzles you

Reflecting my youth
The dreams I have dreamt
Promises broken
Secrets I've kept
Shall die with me

Euphemism

This feels as if you're waiting for something.

 

03/07/09 3:11 PM

^i don't know i don't know anymore.

 

03/07/09 3:12 PM

is that weird that i don't remember what i wrote about?

 

03/07/09 6:16 PM

nope, it is called unconscious
you write about something to get it out and work on it while not stuck in the conscious
it will come to you when you have sorted it out in dream time.

Deeply Wounded
*********
Living a lie
Try to get by
It's not working
The look on my face
Frozen in place
It's killing me
All I can do
Live up to you
Impossible feat
Raise the bar
Lower expectations
I stopped trying

Silent No Longer:

Where do you come from
and where do you go?
Why do you stalk me
I'd like to know
Filled up my heart
with hatred and grief
I stumble along
seeking relief
The days, the hours,
the seconds tick by
I've surrendered to
these tears that I cry
Overtaken completely-
ambushed at best
tossing and turning
in sleepless "rest"
the weights placed upon me
are taking their toll
I scream out in silence
I fight for control
the wounds you've inflicted
seep deep dark red
Silent no longer
I'd rather be dead.

Haven't read ya in a while. Good words here. I loved it!

And Closer...
(For someone special)
So close yet still apart
Curse the want within my heart
Taunting gaze ignites a flame
Purse my lips whisper your name

Locked alone inside my hell
Without hope I might as well
Relish in this delicious burn
Over-eager heart still yearns

A torrent of anguish swept me away
The slightest whisper my thoughts betray
I spun in circles doubt what is true
Let slip my tongue and I was through

Who are you and who am I?
Caught within a web of lies
Nowhere is a safe retreat
...Until your eyes and mine did meet

 

04/22/09 12:20 AM

The Wicked

Cleanse these stains within my soul
Only you can take control
Of my madness seething rage
Ignite the flame and turn the page

Hollowed heart wicked dream
Things are never as they seem
Look about me in despair
Some things are way beyond repair

Touched your finger to my lips
How your shadow doth eclipse
Was a beacon out of sight
I was blinded by your light

The world utters another curse
I've prepared myself for worse

 

04/22/09 12:22 AM

I'm torn between what feels good and what IS good.
