hey- I have a few short songs for you to view. they probably arent that great, so read with caution. also, I have noticed people tend to write these enormously long songs, and I too was in that but I tried shortening them up a little- here they are.
you hold it in... feel the tension
and the things you hate are just too many to mention
but you hold it in
come on, speak up
but you hold it in
sooner or later this will all come back to you
you're afraid but you hold it in.
you ignore your problems until they have a face
but you can't even bring yourself to look them in the eye.
ignore the cracks...
it's all too solid to fall
but you know things have fallen apart
pass your problems off
it's everybody's problem but yours
cause you don't face the truth
what the hell were you thinking?
it's not too solid to fall
--------------
can you look in me?
if you could, you'd see I'm helpless.
and ever so selfish.
I need someone like you...
someone or something that is true.
would you be my hero? my saint?
something greater- something that's not fake.
don't look at me, please.
if you did, you'd see I'm ashamed.
and ever so regretful.
I needed you.
someone who was true.
put some faith in me.
cause no one ever did.
just say I could..
if that is all you ever said.
------------------
I know not to rush you
cause greatness can't be faked.
so lets not try it, at least not tonight
I've given you more than enough time
and you know me
you know I'll give you a little more
it's all you been waiting for.
and when it comes it's gonna hit us all
I hope we go with it.
when we see it it's gonna blind us all
I hope we don't miss it.
You know not to wake me.
cause you do your thing in the middle of the night.
when everything is still and right.
like the stars, you dare to shine.
dare I? dare you?
call this luck, I'll call it fate.
just keep the black draped over the city.
make sure the stars burn bright.
cause tonight, i swear tonight...
I'll set this place on fire- yes, tonight
--------------------
my disposition has nothing to do with you.
so fashion me up something beautiful
but not too delicate- cause chances are...
in my hands, i'll end up breaking it.
you scream with pleasure, but swear it's in pain.
"i'm done, i swear i'm done"
give it a little color
"please, just style in black and blue- it's my only favor."
you're so boring and dreadful- I hate it.
keep your hands off of my words, they are mine.
stealer. liar. cheater.
my tendency and flare for dry and sarcastic wit
has nothing to do with you...
neither do my habits of pacing myself to ten laps a day around your pinky.
it' has nothing to do with you. it's me, it's me, it's me.
i've been beating myself up for you.
--- not too fond of that chorus----
