new song... written rather quickly.... i'm trying some speed writing to see if it improves my creative process

still untitled

"i know and you're forgiven"
you write the note as you leave
strategically placed
where you're sure that i'll see

but all i see are
these handprints on my neck
from squeezing it, pretending it was yours

avoid me, destroy me
the rock intended for glass
deflected to hit my pride
the song to sooth your tears
turned to a page of rhymed lies

don't bat your red eyes at me
i know what i am in them
nothing more worth fighting for
no longer am i their problem

I know that it's him
that same guy you loved before
he's still in me, buried beneath the wrongs

avoid me, destroy me
the rock intended for glass
deflected to hit my pride
the song to sooth your tears
turned to a page of rhymed lies

wait alone... wait inside... trust me it wont get better

<--end-->

horray

Here, scrutinize

and all the tears and all the hearbreak
come streaming out like the newly formed wake
forgetting isn't an option, but neither is forgiving
i'm sick of my so called life, with all the lies i'm living
so follow me down the lonely road of romances
where's lies aren't uncommon, and there are no second chances

but it's all the same things i say
I'm a broken record entitled cliche
apologies mean nothing if you refuse to believe them

so why don't we quit?  Finally give up,
what's left over if we're all out of trust?
Crushing blows for easy solutions,
these childish excuses, and immature resolutions
are all that remain... and i'll take the blame

my tears are held back for no other reason
in spite of you, i still have self-treason
You'd think i'd learn from always destroying myself
it seems that self deprivation is my warranted wealth
I'm nothing more than a failed attempt
nothing more than honesty unkempt

with romanticism pushed aside
i hope you see i never lied
tear-stained wishes in the form of three words...

so why don't we quit?  Finally give up,
what's left over if we're all out of trust?
Crushing blows for easy solutions,
these childish excuses, and immature resolutions
are all that remain... and i'll take the blame

I'll bottle these tears as reminder to who i once was
Throw it in the closet as a token of lost love
trash whats left of my hapless self esteem
Frame it up for display, for those who pity to see

so why don't we quit?  Finally give up,
what's left over if we're all out of trust?
Crushing blows for easy solutions,
these childish excuses, and immature resolutions
are all that remain... and i'll take the blame

well... fret not... recent situations have catapulted me back into a song-writing mood... i shall have a new song on here soon

Brad

Hey, changed up the look a little bit and i'm back with a new song.  I don't have a title for it, but if someone thinks of something really sweet action and decides to tell me their song title idea, i'm sure i'd consider naming it that.

I can already taste the asphault from you throwing me out...

The heart on my sleeve
is no longer worth wearing
I think I've reached that point
where i am beyond caring
I watch every single step
carefully critique all I do
Afraid any slip-up will kill me
Make you realize I don't deserve you

I think we'd be good
If I loved you half as much as I hate myself

I know that i'm right
but that doesn't seem to matter
Five words to describe you and me
"How did he get her?"

So tear me up, girl
It's just what i expected
I'm good enough to give up on
Not good enough to be respected
I'm not condoning all this
I sure won't think it's right
but it's what usually happens
before i wake up screaming every night...

Sitting here writing
waiting to be dropped at the drop of a hat

I know that i'm right
but that doesn't seem to matter
Five words to describe you and me
"How did he get her?"

And i am worse than i seem
I'm worthless...

Okay, that's it.  Think now, i need a title.

As i fall head first into a strange new territory of happiness and caring, it appears my writing style is slightly manipulated by my outlook on life currently.  It seems depressing, emo songs are kinda hard to write when i'm not feeling rejected.  But, the "love songs" flow out abound.  So... i bust out a new one.  It's, i guess, a "love song" with a twist of fear of rejection.

the good, the bad, and all in between

here in your arms is where i belong
my undying goal, to prove them all wrong
nice guys can finish higher than last
there more to life than getting some ass

It's okay to fall in love
I'll be waiting to catch you
Cause i fell a long time ago
Seems like before i met you
I'll be your want
I'll be your need
but girl, please just believe in me

the tears start welling up in my eyes
damn i hate these long good-byes
I've worried myself sick and rotten
it's not too long until i'll be forgotten

please don't give up in me...
please don't give up in me...

It's okay to fall in love
I'll be waiting to catch you
Cause i fell a long time ago
Seems like before i met you
I'll be your want
I'll be your need
but girl, please just believe in me

I promise, why would i lie?
those three word are worth a try
I promise, i swear, i cry
those three words were not a lie

It's okay to fall in love
I'll be waiting to catch you
Cause i fell a long time ago
Seems like before i met you
I'll be your want
I'll be your need
but girl, please just believe in me

please don't give up in me...

Okay, that's it.  Tell me what you think.
