My City Screaming

[kolby182]

just recorded this song and put it up on my(space) page.

www.myspace.com/cutewhenyou



while i live my life
my city screams
"someone please
set fire to me
bury me in bodies
born to walk all over me
let my rivers run with red
from the innocent ones
if there are any left
i doubt there are many left"

while i search for love
my city screams
"there are no women here
just little girls looking
to fall for their next drunk fuck
their wedding dresses say "lie to me"
draipped in white when they should be
dripping the darkest shades of red
to tell the tales from their beds"

while i look to God
my city screams
"he hasn't set his watchful eyes
on me or you in years and
will not for many more.
live your life as though
regret is a foreign word
you have never
even heard"

while i drink to death
my city screams
"you're no better than anyone
so have a few more and drive fast
there's a school that's letting out
just 2 miles down the road
maybe your aim will be just right
to put a child in
heaven's sight"

while i love my friends
my city screams
"be careful who you let in
not everyone is who they seem
who all can you even trust
and who all would try and fuck
the love you let go
no more than 2 or 3
months ago."

while i contemplate death
my city screams
"my body is full of the deceast
and their bones make my soil weak
you are not as far as you think
your one foot in the grave
your one soul to be saved
your family will weap in pain
but she promised she'd never change"

while i leave my life
my city screams
"someone please
come set fire to me
burn me down and
please get out"
as i walked away
my city shouts.

A bit depressing haha but I spose you can get away with that

while i search for love
my city screams
there are no women here
just little girls looking
to fall for their next kiss
their wedding dresses lie
draipped in white when they should be
dripping the darkest shades of red.

Haha I soooooo know what you mean by "little girls looking to fall for their next kiss." I like this verse. When you say "their wedding dresses lie... shades of red" it could be shades of black (unless your referring to blood or something) but I do like that line... It makes you think 'what have those girls been up to...'

while i look to God
my city screams
he hasn't set his watchful eyes
on me or you in years and
will not for many more.
live your life as though
regret is a foreign word
you've never even heard.

Good line.

while i drink myself to death
my city screams
you're no better than anyone
so have a few more and drive fast
there's a school letting out
just down the road
maybe your aim will be just right
to put a child in heaven's sight

This verse kind of scared me (but in a good way) coz recently this drunken driver did exactly what you described here. It would make a good add campaign to stop kids from speeding and drink-driving lol

while i wrap love around friends
my city screams
be careful who you let in
not everyone is who they seem
who all can you trust
and who all would fuck
the love you let go
no more than 2 months ago.

Ouch!

Overall this is quite a er traumatic song but there are some great lines in there dude :) keep it up

thanks......the wedding dresses being red made me think of impure or "loose" like the red scarlett letter for being a sloot. Black makes me think of death. As for the drunk driver...thats terrible it really happened around you. I said it because through this break up im going through i cant help but notice ive driven kinda drunk a few times and hate myself for it thus tried to paint a horrific picture of what could happen if i dont wise up. the OUCH! lines are what have really been fucking with me lately...like all my friends arent who they seem, they are all trying to fuck one another and everyone is recently single...but dated some of their best friends. (i dont know if that even made sense?).....................thanks for commenting. i have some other shit on this and i have a terrible music page www.myspace.com/cutewhenyou if you want to hear some of them..lyrics are posted on each song.

Aww hang in there mate :)

I feel exactly the same as what you say on your Myspace about lyrics being SO important in a song. Great lyrics will make the listner think and possibly even cry.... Right on dude!
