My own songs/poems

[GAMZILLA]

Been writting some songs for my band and need suggestions from those who know about music

note: songs are written in Thrice/Taking Back Sunday tone

"So Sure"

I tried to be strong for her,
tried not to be wrong for her

But she will not wait for me anymore...anymore....
why did I say these stupid things before...I was so sure
-she was the one
I had a purpose
-she was the one
Why did I fight her ?

I see her face in ev-ry-thing !
With these Bloodshot Eyes !
And If words could only tell her how much she meant to me!.....
I'd tell it all !

I was so sure !
I was so sure !
I was so sure !

But she will not wait for me anymore....anymore

----------------------------

"The Call"

It was a friday night
just gotten over another fight
tried to take it slow
but i knew this weekend was gonna blow

But then I got a call and tried to take it cool
I just didn't wanna act like a fool

all I really wanted to say thats she was my everything
But now it looks like everything just past my way

She was so right
But i just had to put up a fight

Letting the greatest thing happen go away
'cause you were too ****ing stupid to appriciate it

I didn't wanna take her for granted

------------------------

suggestions are wlecome :)

[Metal Zombie]

I never listened to Thrice or Taking Back Sunday, so I'd have to hear the music to it to say whether it's really good or not. They seem kinda catchy though...

[Emperor Violenjiger]

Here is a song I wrote in about five minutes, and later edited to make it sound even better. Tell me what you think and if you have any suggestions for a title, please do tell...


The desire for love, I wanted so bad
But I did not see
What it was doing to me!
Tearing me apart on the inside,
Tearing me inside out
Ripping through the ancors of my soul

Now driven to the edge, on the verge of insanity
I find myself lost in the sorrow of my own remorse,
Lost in the sorrowful memories of my tainted past
Wishing for a second chance at life
Wishing for a chance to set things right
Wishing I could relive every moment

Blinded by love, I was trapped within
The walls of my own heart
Sealed in the labyrinths of my mind
A decayed and blackened realm
Of self pity and remorse (DEATH!)
Shrouded by darkness, consumed by hatred

So now I lay here fueled by own anger
The Darkness fills the void, consuming, confusing

Love destroyed the goodness in me
And exiled as I was, into a world of chaos
Banished to the scorching realm of my pain
Shot through the heart, and left to die!
Heaven I was promised, Hell I was given
The damage is done, the pain inflicted
No going back to the past I regret, no remorse

The desire for love, I wanted so bad
But I could not see
What it was doing to me!
Tearing me apart on the inside,
Tearing through the flesh and ripping through the skin

Now driven to the edge, on the verge of madness
I find myself lost in the sorrow of my own remorse,
Lost in the sorrowful memories of my haunted past
Wishing for a second chance at life
Wishing for a chance to set things right
Wishing I could prevent the past!

The more I ignore the pain, the worse it beocmes
The longer I give in to my pain
The further it deepens into my soul
The pain within, my only friend
The very core of a nightmare
Hungry for life!

Love, it makes fools of us all
Love, it can tear you up on the inside
Love, it can rip your soul to shreds
Love, it can blind you from you truth
Love, it can turn sane men into mad men
And good men into monsters

The desire for love, I wanted so bad
But I did not see
What the Hell it was doing to... ME!
Tearing through my soul on the inside
Tearing me apart, piece by piece
Ripping through my skin!

Now driven to the edge, engulfed by insanity
Plaqued by the Darkness that encomposes all
I find myself walking down the path to sin
Straying away from redemption
Fueled by hatred, distorted by light
Trapped in the dark labyrinths of my own nightmare
The hate consumes all, I can't escape!

[Emperor Violenjiger]

Wow,thats got major deepness...
And do I detect any realation to that little "Mall Incident"? LOL. 'Fraid not, there Darksyde ol' buddy. I completely forgot about that incident (if you could even call it that). I was just minding own business on the Saturday before school started and I was listening to "Meant To Live" by Switchfoot (a song which is completely un-related to what I wrote above, it just happened to be what I was listening to at the time) and a milder variant of what you see above.. just came to me.. These words from inside came out, and I just wrote them down. And yes it's very deep, like my stories. That's what makes it beautiful in a sense.

[Emperor Violenjiger]

Nice going with the song! It's also good to know that the one you were listening to inspired such insight, considering the all too frequent situation of tunes just not having any "substance" these days...I was also listening to Stairway To Heaven, and a bunch of 80s love songs that day, before the CD went to whatever track # Meant To Live is, maybe it got buried in my subconscience or something. LOL.

Didn't you mention you also sing? Vocalizing it, even without accompaniment might be the next step. If you know of a musician who might be interested in playing/scoring it, you could have a great cut there and the start of a new portfolio!I'm going by what Jess said, that Jake is a good singer (Jake's my friend, he posted here as Hellspawn, Jess is his ex-girlfriend) and the plan is to get him to come down my house and record the song onto cassette sometime soon. He suggested that I should DL "The Call of Ktulu" by Metallica, which has no vocals, to use as the background music since none of us have/can play any kind of instruments. Either way, Jake's the music expert so I trust him to the most... Wouldn't trust Steve, he likes too much new crap.

[Emperor Violenjiger]

Sounds like Linkin Park.No, I picture a different style than Linkin Park.

[Emperor Violenjiger]

Today, I have to songs written by Matt Gardiner/Lord Khandejifer. So, enjoy:

Untitled Song #1:

My life is full of hate
Of which I can't escape!
Sorrow and sadness fills me
Regret and depression is what I'm made of!

My past is full of mistakes,
Things that need to be undone
To save my future from this apocalyptic nightmare!
To save my mind from madness!
To make me feel like a better person

Who am I? I can't remember anymore
All I wanted was love, I tried to seek
But within I could not find!
And I dunno why, I ain't afraid of crying! I ain't afraid to cry!
I think I wanna die!
I THINK I WANNA DIE!

Tonight I'll cry alone, Tonight I'll be alone
The comfort I seek, my friends cannot provide!
And tonight, I think I'll cry alone

No one loves me, everyone sees a freak!
No one can see the real me, that I am today
Everyone sees what they want to see with me!
A hideous man, a freak of nature!
Who doesn't belong in their perfect world...
I'll never know the feeling of passion!

I hate my life today
Why would I want to stay?
No one cares, no one gives a ****!
They wouldn't even notice me if I left!
NO! THEY WOULDN'T!

My tainted past, is riddled with mistakes!
Deeds once done, which cannot be undone!
How can I live on in this world
Where no one cares, and everyone loves to hate!
Inside I'm crying out to you!
Inside me I can feel the scream!

She never noticed me, never paid me any attention
I gave up my heart for her's,
But everyone else couldn't see inside me,
They couldn't see the real me, and taught her to hate (ME!)
Hate! They look at me like a lesser being!

No one can live in my shoes, And they will never know
The pain, the ridicule, the hate that I've been through
I'll never find love cuz inside, my heart is cold!
And everyone thinks that I'm lesser than human!
I can feel the tears, they're scarring me for life!
I wish I could undo the damage that's been done!
I've lost my life, I've lost my soul!
Someone cut this life from me!
Please, I'm begging for you to kill me!





Untitled Song #2:

I live a life of hate, I live a life of sin!
Wondering down the blackened road,
To find the good within
Looking for redemption, a chance at happiness
However, finding death in it's forgotten space

Every night I have that dream, where I can still her pretty face
And everything is so perfect for us,
I've found acceptance, and happiness in life
And a friend in you

Until the new day dawns, and the sun rises up, and I awake from the dream
I'm still walking in my father's footsteps
Slowly losing those who mattered the most
And still i find that no one wants to see me for what I am

I try to be the real me, I try to express myself
But arrogance has clouded everyone's mind
No one will accept me, no one treats me right
I want to be a better man, but I just don't know how!

Everyday, I feel their hate
I feel their fists, I feel their claws
Biting away at me! Destroying me!
They cannot see that I am human too!
Let them maggots burn!
Burn under the wrath of me!
I'm their antichrist!

I always dream the same dream, every night
That no one wants to start a fight!
That everyone accepts me for the freak I am
And the love of my life, can finally love me
For who and what I am!

But that will never be!
Cuz is just a dream! DREAM!

[Emperor Violenjiger]

Just finished reading your first song lyrics. I'm surprised; it took you only five minutes to write all of that up? Impressive. Even if you probably took more time to edit it, I still think that is amazing and you should pat yourself on the back.Whoa. You really mean it? Thanks.

Your song lyrics presents a certain meaning to everyone. I think it was that good. Deep down inside, we all feel dread and remorse in the way you described.They werre written from the heart, you could say.

I'd like to say it would've been helpful to add a sense of 'redemption' near the end, like there's a chance for hope. But I realize that is not always the case and is up to the reader/listener to decide if they'd like to try and escape that dark void that had consumed them.How true.

I'll read your other song lyrics soon. Keep up the good work.I'll try my best.

By the way, I don't know if you made this clear yet, but are you planning on making a recording?All in good time.

[Emperor Violenjiger]

This next song/poem I bring you, unlike the others, is not sad nor does it focus on love, or belonging, etc. It's titled "Enter The Dragon" and it's about power. You will notice that certain stanzas/verses have a 1st written by them, and some have 2nd written by them. It's because I imagine the song being sung by different singers, all the ones labelled f1st are sung by the DRAGON himself. 2nd, is sung by the person who eventually stands up to the will of the Dragon... Enjoy:

ENTER THE DRAGON,
By: Matt Gardiner

1st: All I see is gold
The colour of my pride
These golden artifacts, hold the key
To plunging life, and all you see
And all you've ever known, into obscurity

2nd: And in the night, the Dragon strikes
With his fury and his might!
The sheer ruthlessness and cunning of his darkened, twisted heart
Crushing everything and everyone in sight
Who threatens to oppose his deadly will!

1st: The ancient tools of old,
These golden treasures that I stole
Reveal to me, more in life, than I could ever see
And with them comes a bonus, hidden to naked eyes
Abolsute power, corrupting absolutely!

1st: Unimaginable power, and unimaginable glory
Are almost in my sight
With the virtue of these golden jewels
I possess the power, and I possess the will
To change the very pasy, to wipe out all those who came before
To take my rightful place in royal hierachy!

2nd: Enter the Dragon,
Who stalks us in the night!
Enter the Dragon,
Whose disregard for life...
Will urge us into paying the ultimate price!

2nd For his insane ambitions
For the glory of the Dragon
Heroes will die for the sake of those who live here,
For the sake of those who came before, and the sake of those who will!

1st: I see it now, I see it right!
Absolute power in my sight!

2nd: Enter the Dragon,
His existence threatens ours!
Enter the Dragon,
Who keeps us locked up in this cage!

2nd: His ambitions are high
His dreams are sick and malevolent
He cares for no one but himself!
And for the greater glory, in the name of the Dragon!
I have lost many friends,
Heroes who died for our forefathers, for all who came before!
ENTER THE DRAGON!

1st: Now I enter the holy halls of the ancient archiacs
And through these golden artifacts, of which I stole
I see the power within me,
To disrupt the chronicle of time!

2nd: Enter the Dragon!

2nd: Time is falling apart,
A tear is ripping in space
As past collides with prsent
The very fabric of time is slowly coming undone
The time storm has us in it's eye!

1st: I have finally triumphed, yes!
But even the bitter sweetness of my victory,
Can not last forever!
Stripped of victory I was, from right beneath my wing
This is set back, not defeat!
The universe cowered once at the fury of the Dragon,
And again it shall do so!

2nd: Enter the Dragon!

1st: To the holy halls of the ancients I return
To make my presence known, through out the universe!
What does not destroy me, makes me stronger...
What attempts to destroy me, shall be obliterated!

2nd: Enter the Dragon!

1st: I am the one, I am the God!
I am the Alpha, and the Omega
I am the beginning, and I am the end
Death and rebirth,
Now and forever, until the end of time!

2nd: Enter the Dragon!

2nd: With my last breath, I make the final stand!
My loved ones and my friends
They are all gone, died for the sake of the Dragon!
Well... No more! (NO MORE!)

1st: And there came a warrior, Nemesis of the Dragon!
Chosen by the light,
Destined to fight
Against the wrath of the Dragon!

1st: He cared for the plants, he cared for this Earth!
He told me one would stand,
He told me one would fall
But the warrior would not prevail against the wrath of... The might of... The fury of...
THE DRAGON!

1st and 2nd: ENTER THE DRAGON!

[Emperor Violenjiger]

Another fine piece of work; This one I wrote up today, so enjoy:

STING OF THE COBRA
By: Matt Gardiner

A decorated life,
Haunted with a violent past!
Espionage and killing
Pointless wars and hostilities
A brother on the verge...
Of screaming out again! (SUICIDE)

Things were going well, they looked pretty swell
Until the cabinet,
Sent in it's deputies
They destroyed my diligence
And because of it...
My family turned their back on me!

The person that I was,
He was now gone,
Paranoid and obsessive I became
Building up my power, recruiting terrorists
For the foundation of an empire!

Don't come close, don't touch me
If you want a piece of me, you better stand down
Don't fear my hooded face, my metallic plate
Just never come in close
Or you will feel...
The Sting of the Cobra! (Venom of my ego!)

The system works against me!
It's time to create my own! (System!)
The power serves as food for my ego!
I'm just a megalomaniac, believing in my own lies!
Morality has slipped away from within me

You can never escape the intimidation of the Cobra!
You'll never fight the terror within
And through the night, coming from the sky
You'll hear my dreaded cry!
With nowhere to run, nowhere to hide!

Panic spreads like a germ! Like a disease!
Like a virus, infecting the system!
Governments will fall, rulerships destroyed
Sovereignty subverted!
When I unleash... The Venom of my tongue!
To fight the valor of freedom's pride!
When I unleash... The Sting of the Cobra!

[Emperor Violenjiger]

I checked my User Panel, and found out I recieved another reputation point the other day. Here's the reason stated: "Thanks for posting the two untitled songs! EXCELLENT lyrics!" But my question is, are they really that good? They seem to be lacking something in my eyes. And I'm not talking about Enter The Dragon, Sting of The Cobra, or the first one... I mean the two without titles...

[Emperor Violenjiger]

My next masterpiece:

HIDE,
By: Matt Gardiner

No one can see these scars
Buried beneath my skin
They think my problems are a joke
They can never see what I've seen
They can never feel the dreadful things that I have felt!

I am what I am,
I try to be myself
I speak what's on my mind
I voice my own opinions!

But that's the thing they hate!
It's what they hold against me!
They fear me, hate me, suffer me
Because they're afraid to be themselves!
Afraid to show the truth!
They'd rather hide!

Hiding away from who they really are
Hiding from themselves
They will never be true, they will never be pure
Afraid to face the person that they are!

Instead they waster their time!
Hating me, who doesn't care what they think
They try to put me down,
They try to break my spirit!
But I don't care what they think of me!
They're not worth reasoning with!

Hiding away, they won't be themselves!
Hiding from their friends and family
They want to do the things they like
But they don't want to not fit in!

And that's what they hate about me!
The skill that I possess!
They want to put aside the crude thoughts of others, and just be themselves
But they won't! They'll never do what's right!
That's why they hate me,
They wish they had my skill!

That's why they hide away themselves!
They keep there true colours hidden
Afraid tp stand up, and appreciate life!
Hiding their faces behind a broken mask!

I possess the one skill that they lack
Their words will never hurt me,
Their fists will never overcome my will
Waster your time trying to destroy and ruin my life!
If only you could see, your opinions don't matter

So continue to hide behind that mask...
It's your choice, if you wish to do so...
Not mine! (HIDE!)

I will never bend, I will never be broken!
I won't let you crush my spirit
Just because you have to hide yourself, in order to belong!
I will stand tall, I will stand up
I'll put aside the nasty things you to hurt me!
I won't let it get beneath me!
Because I am not the one who hides!

[Emperor Violenjiger]

.......Were you thinking of Afiag when you wrote your untitled songs?No, I was slightly (key word: slightly) exaggerating certain aspects of how I feel.

Because...They seem to fit him (And me) almost perfectly...Which is saying something!That's obviously an unhealthy sign... for both of us...

I can suggest a name for one of them, you can choose one: Darkness Is All I See.... and Love can never Be! Or something along those lines....The very first song that I posted in the opening post of this thread I recently titled, The Story Of My Life, those two untitled ones I also recently combined into one and titled it, Welcome To My Life (The Story Goes On...).

[Emperor Violenjiger]

The sequel to HIDE:

SIT BACK, ENJOY MISERY,
By: Matt Gardiner

Everything is the way I said it was
I've got the soul that never bends to the will of others
I have the soul that can't be broken by the things that you say
But even so, there are days I feel lost inside!

Days when I'm not even sure who I am anymore!
Or what I am! And what makes me be?
Somedays, it's hard to tell (what makes me breathe!)

I spent so many years wasting away
Letting the iron fists of others keep me in silence!
I wouldn't be what they wanted me to be,
But I wouldn't be myself either

Until I learnt what was right,
And saw that what they said didn't matter anymore
It was them all this time, hiding away!
I was able to shape my life into something more (escape the clutches of evil!)
Able to turn my life around

Even so, there was one thing I could never find!
What makes me empty?
What makes my heart so cold?
Why do I feel so alone?
What's missing from my life?
Why am I scared?

It's love, the one thing I'm afraid to find
Afraid of being hurt if I let someone in
Afraid of hurting whoever comes into my life!
I am afraid inside of finding peace with my soul...
Even if I hate the hatred, It's all I've ever known!
Even if I hate the loneliness, It's all I've ever known!

Somedays I sit back,
And get a kick out watching me
Suffer mass emotional pain
The sweetness of the pain that I enjoy!
The sweetness of the things I put me through!

My urges for love, my longing for passion
At times I want to make an impact on that one heart
Show someone, how much they mean to me!
Let them know, they will always have a friend in me!

But I'm too afraid to take the chances
I can't do this! I can't! I CAN'T!
No one will ever love me back,
Or so I've trained my mind to think!
I'm not afraid to hide myself, and show just who I am
I want to love, but that's the thing I'm too afraid to seek!

So I sit back,
And get a kick out of watching me
Suffer mass emotional pain!
I'm a sick and twisted *******! I'll admit that!

I feel the urge,
I want to change,
I want to love!
I want to the confront the monster within,
And love.....

But I don't know how to love
And I'm scared of it, I'm scared! I'M SCARED!
I know I can't do it! I CAN'T! I CAN'T!
It's so different from the life I've known for so long!
So tonight I'm gonna sit back,
And watch myself suffer some more!
I'll cry alone as the sick ******* within me
Enjoys the pain I put myself through...!

[Emperor Violenjiger]

LEADER OF THE FUTURE,
By: Matt Gardiner

To this world, Mega Death, namesake of the Dragon brought
A war of unparalleled destruction!
Devstation that spreads far out of reach (and sight!)
And through his cunning, through his military strategics
All who combat his will, shall perish

Born from the Legion Maxima, to his fiery might
The Elders under the watch of Sentinel Patrol fell
And began the War Without End!
Enter, a new era of dictatorship
Domination! Primacy! Mastery! Ascendancy!
Over all that cower beneath our lordship

For the greater glory of the Destron Empire, by royal command
For the dream of our forefather, Maximo!
This dragon leads us on a neverending crusade
To perfect the dream of the Destron Empire! (Total Domination!)

And through our master's own ego-driven stupidity
Through his own arrogance!
Victory falls in the hands of the enemy!
Each triumph is seemingly converted to catastrophe!

To lead for the future, is my destiny!
They say the Master Megaton cannot be beaten
But I will find a way
Everyone has a weakness
And time makes all things possible (Ahahahahhahahaha!)

Abused and bashed around like a useless usurper
I never recieved any respect, no credit
For my deeds to the Destron Cause!
I tried to gain favour from the Master Megaton!
But nothing was ever good enough!
I went from caring and sharing, to cold and killing (YES!)

I shall rise up and lead us for the future!
For my talents are wasted on this pitiful assignment!
I deserve to be in full command of everything!
It is my destiny to lead, my desire for power is as great as the master's
Now is the time for actions not words, my time is now
I am the Leader of the Future!

Through the art of treachery, and dark seeds of deception
Through my wicked genius and superb intellect
And through the power of manipulation
The Master, unfit to lead, will fall before me!
Time shall make all things possible for me!

I am the Leader of the Future!
I will pave the way of the future for our race
Take my rightful place in Royal Hierachy!
Look up at the stars and scream my name: Night Scream!
I am the Leader of the Future!
I am the Leader of the Future!
I am the Leader of the Future!
It is my destiny to lead!

[Emperor Violenjiger]

PURITY,
By: Matt Gardiner

Purification is the key to our salvation
Purification is the cursed dream of the Dragon
A perfect world, a technological paradise
A new world order cleansed of it's imperfections

And the only thing that stands in my way
Of restoring the machine-like purity to my world
The only thing that can stand between me and destiny
Are these four mongrels in their mishapen forms!
Their disgusting organics contaminate the visions that I see!

PURITY!

I can never be pure!
As long as the beast still exists within me!
I can never be pure,
As long as I'm still ruled by emotions!
Purity!

I will stop at nothing, to cleanse me of this form!
I will stop at nothing, to fulfill my twisted vision of purity!
For once I reach our planet's core
I will form the perfect world, a technological paradise
With me as it's coreconscience
No more individual thoughs, no more intelligence: Just MINE!

I can never be pure!
As long as the beast still exists within me!
I can never be pure,
As long as I'm still ruled by emotions!
Purity!

Destiny cannot be denied this time! Yeah!
For all that remains
Is to unleash the seeds of my future! Yes!
The perfect techno-world! The perfect techno-sphere!
I am the Destron Emissary!

The seeds of your future,
Lies buried in the ruins of your past
The era of your kind,
Has at last reached it's fiery end!
Purity will be perfected!
Now for my grand ascension!

I can never be pure!
As long as the beast still exists within me!
I can never be pure,
As long as I'm still ruled by emotions!
Purity!

I can never be pure!
As long as the beast still exists within me!
I can never be pure,
As long as I'm still ruled by emotions!
Purity!

At last I'm pure!

THE UNREAL ILLUSORY,
By: Matt Gardiner & Elise MacIntyre

Feeling dead inside,
Feeling claustripohic; scared
I feel as though I've lost you
But our love was never real at all

I took the knife
To spill the true emotions
To, you, the beholder of my affection
Too bad you can not hear

Love seems so close, yet so far
Why can't any of this be real?
Am I suffering from the loss of love,
Or not being able to love at all

No appreciation, and no respect
Constant paranoia attacking me
I was holding her close,
But she was never really there

This love was never real
Its all an undying fantasy
About the way I wish it could be
If these unfixable circumstnces weren't separating us

Battling a weakened mental state
The voices never stop
I'm calling for help, no one seems to hear
The voices always telling me to kill those who stand in the way of love

Little did I realize,
The problem exists within myself
I'm the one who stands in the way
I'm your pain; I would kill you to love you

I once saw it reasonable
To kill others who stood in the way of love
Realizing now the problem rests if me
Oh please, I wish God would help me

My mental state is increasing fast; insanity
How can I possibly live with myself
Knowing I just don't fit the standards
With life playing bitter cruel games on my heart

I'd ask you to take one look
And stare into my eyes
Unfortunately, you'll never see
How much you meant to me in the first place

I don't belong, you don't exist
This is where I draw the line,
I would kill you to love you
But its I who needs to die

As I prepare the rope, and tie it around my neck
I leave for you a note,
To ensure you learn of the insufferable feelings I felt for you
Feelings which could never be shared, Goodbye cruel, cruel world

[Emperor Violenjiger]

Another add on...

HAPPINESS IS ONLY A DREAM,
By: Matt Gardiner

Happiness is only a dream,
Love is sick dillusions of the heart
Compassion is a lie that can not be real
It is the one thing that can never be found

I'm paranoid of everything and everyone
Always under the attack of anxiety
Fearful that someone is out to get me; that the world is my enemy
Can't trust anyone; Keep them out of your heart and you will never be hurt

Inside of me I am lost
Inside me my soul is empty; my shell is incomplete
There is something missing from my soul and life
A hole inside of me and my life that needs to be filled

Nothing seems true, always questioning life and everything in it
Wandering the darkened streets at night
I'm wondering if life is even worth a dime?
Even when surrounded by the comfort of my friends I feel alone

Often I take the time at night to sit awhile and think about my life
Each night spent alone I dream about the future
I have visions of being a better person and a better man
Dreams of being a loving husband and father where mine failed

And when the dream is over
I am faced with the sad reality
That my dream will never be real
I don't believe in the one thing I want the most

I lack the confidence required of me
I don't believe in my own self
I have lost all faith and hope for a bright tomorrow
I've already given up

This is causing for me
A major dilemma in my life
The desire for love, which is something I not only fear
I disbelieve in

Happiness is not real, Happiness is only a dream
Pain and suffering, Pain is real
Live the pain, embrace the pain
Or hide away to live a lie called happiness.

^ Very good. you should send those to a record company or something.

[Black Libra]

Ladies and gentlemen... I present to you some of the songs that I have written. Just a small warning, they are very depressing and laden with a lot of metaphors, so if you don't understand the meaning of some of them, then please do ask, and I'll try to explain. Oh yes, if you hadn't already noticed, I've embraced Roger Waters' writing style. That means I write what's on my mind, and I sometimes sacrifice the rhyme for the meaning. Enough of that, please enjoy...

A love song...

Henriette

Do you think they'll let us in?
Do you think they'l leave us to swim?
Do you think they'll turn away?
Do you think they'll let us stay?
Oh Henriette
Do you think they'll mention God?

It wouldn't be fair
If they took away the love we share
With their pompous American stares

Do you think it would be alright
If we held each other tight?
Do you think they'd be alright
If we held each other tight?
Do you think they would mind
If we asked for the chance to take the time?

It wouldn't be fair
If they took away the love we share
With their pompous American stares

My sweet Henriette
Do you think it'd be alright
If I came over and kept you company tonight?

It wouldn't be fair
If they took away the love we share
With their pompous American stares

Wouldn't it be fair
If they had just a little time to spare?

---

And now a suicide song...

The Ledge

Don't laugh too hard
Because I'm showing you my weak side
Don't be too suprised
That someone wants you as their bride

Taking the path beyond the ledge
Won't lead lead you anywhere

Remember all those times we had together
Keeping each other in one piece?
Remember the chases, the broken faces
The activities under the sheets?

Don't let it all go in vain
Don't let me fall victim to pain
Don't let me walk down the road
All alone

Because taking the path beyond the ledge
Won't lead lead you anywhere

Don't laugh too hard
Because I'm showing you my weak side
Don't be too suprised
That someone wants you as their bride

You danced with Death himself
And it cost you everything
But don't take it out on me
And leave

Because taking the path beyond the ledge
Won't lead lead you anywhere

It's not hard for me to understand
That you still want to leave
So if that's the way it's gonna be
Then don't let go
Cause we're gonna do this together

---

And now, a song inspired by the spice operations in Sly 2: Band Of Theives...

The Spice Dream

All alone
In the cargo hold, my second home
Waiting for this ninety-mile ride to stop
And dreaming of the fortunes I'll make at the shop

If you think you can get past the dangers
Then give it your best shot, soldier
And when everything isn't as it seems
Then you know, you've entered the spice dream

If you think you can live through the cons
Then tell me before dawn, before I've gone
And if you think you can crack a smile
At some bodies breaking
Then try your best to stop the shaking

And if you think you can get past the dangers
Then give it your best shot, soldier
And when everything isn't as it seems
Then you know, you've entered the spice dream

---

Please tell me what you think of them. Do you hate them, do you love them? Could they use some work? Lets hear it.

[Black Libra]

awesome songs man. Your a very talented songwriter

Thank you very much, godofPH. I do appriciate it.

Now what about you the rest of you? C'mon, don't be coy.

P.S. Expect a short song about Terri Schiavo coming up real soon. Don't worry, it doesn't take the side of her husband, or her crazy parents. It's more of a doctor/patient sort of thing.

[Raptor]

From Sithre: I wrote a song without thinking about it:

Shame


I teared it again
I ripped it open
Threw it aside and watched the red fall.
Why does this thrive in me?
What I see
Is it truely....
Me staring back?
What I see
Red eye glaring back at me
Red eye staring back at me,
Piercing me, reading.
I find myself bleeding.
Yet again I drop the blade,
Hide it like a shame,
A shame so harmless
That it eats away at me....
That red eye continues to see....

(the chorus is seeing the glaring part)

Here's the next one that isn't finished:

Chained away


It continues to pry,
Eat away at me.
But I hold it in,
Store it away.
Lock it up deep inside.
...
It is now growing,
Walking around me,
Speaking,
Whispering in my ear
To kill
Is its request.
To bleed is its thirst.
Why must you do this to me?
Why must you pry at me?

(Sent over AIM as he can't post because he's using AOL. AOL users are still having problems accessing the board, apparently...)

[Trauma]

Thanks a ton Raptor for posting these for me.


I had sudden inspirration and i wrote these, i have a couple more and some longer ones, I hope you guys like em...

I don't think they are quite as good as Lord K's or Black Libra's though...

[Black Libra]

I like 'em. Even though I have absolutely no clue what they're about...

Keep on writing, man.

[godofPH]

^ I know what their about, cuz he told me about em on AIM. I won't tell what theyre really about unless Sithre wants me to.

[Black Libra]

Not bad, BL. Though, it might have greater impact if I heard the music and melodies along with the lyrics.

Well, I am planning on taking guitar lessons soon... so perhaps you might just find an acoustic version of "Henriette" being posted sometime next year if the lessons go well.

Oh yeah, here's the next song everyone. Personally, I think it's the weakest one that I've written so far. It's also by far the shortest.

Enjoy.

---

In The Middle Of It All

I watch your curious eyes
Carefully navigate the ceiling
You twitch a bit once you find that nobody's up there
Now Terri, can you feel what we're feeling?
Can you speak for me?
Can you follow my hand?
Can you give it your best try?
Can you show me that you still know how to cry?
Give me your silent answer
Do you want me to pull the plug?
Do you want me to give you one last hug
And say goodbye for good?

In the bottom of your heart
You never wanted to be in the middle of it all
But... here you are
Caught in a battle between those who value life
Above all else
And those who want your suffering to finally end

Whose side are you on?
Give me your silent answer

[Archaic_Avenger]

by the artist formerly known as You...

okay, here's the dealio, just post lyrics written by you! about you, about life, about other people, about evil mutant aliens, about anything. any songs that you have written, especially if you dont want to start a whole new thread for just yours, you can post here. i have just written 2 songs, and i thought i'd kill 2 birds with one stone. instead of just making a thread for my songs only, i'd make one for everone (seeing as how popular the song writing profession is getting around here). so here goes nothing.

Mr. Nostalgia

Hard to be moving forward,

When you’re living in the past,

But why look to the future,

When you’re walking back the track,

Turn back the clock, rewind the song,

Return to a time of far along,

Look behind, I thought I’d tell ya,

Its only me, Mr. Nostalgia.



There’s a figure behind you,

Wordless to the world,

He’s facing away from you,

Eyes backward hurled,

He’s walking against the stream,

Against time and the unforeseen,

He’s walking where he knows the people,

That’s right, its me, Mr. Nostalgia.



So I’m going back in time,

I’ll enjoy the trip along,

Not meeting mew friends or acquaintances,

But a little old school goodness,

So let me be, and walk my walk,

Do my thing, and talk my talk,

I’ll see you when the night is over,

Remember me, I’m Mr. Nostalgia.

[Godzilla guy]

It's pretty good, but it's more of a poem.

[Emperor Violenjiger]

ELUDING DARKNESS,
By: Matt Gardiner

Twistin' and turnin', I am caught in the twilight
Knowing that I was left here to die
Hear the sound of my hallowed screams
Feel the wrath of my shallowed pain

Hatred is swelling me
Fuel for the fire of my burning resolution
Death comes creeping in, my one true friend has arrived
I can hide no more secrets from the world

I never believed that I could feel so alive
Never believed I could love somoneone
Like the way I loved you
Damn, it was love that brought me here!

I scream your name, as they bury me in this hole
Begging you to stay with me
I'll be your hero for today
Hear the hallowed sceams of my shallowed pain

Why must I learn my lessons the hard way?
And know that none of this was real
Just a sick game set up
To play with my mind, and now...

Its no secret to the world
Everyone in it already knows my pain
Its nothing that I can hide from them
That I hate myself this day

Torn apart at the heart
I'm shaking at my knees
Falling to the floor
As the trees whisper with the wind

The kind person who I used to be
I thought was gone forever
As the madness was my driving force to kill
The paranoia seemed to set my mind free

Forced to live through the fire and the rain
Into the curse of the Reaper
Where I was left by my friends to die
The light had been embraced and eclisped by the darkness

Alone inside my head, dwelling on the vile past
Remembering the mistakes of my life
Instead of living for today, I was livin' in the yesterday
Dwelling on the past I had no future and no tomorrow

Until I found the person that I used to be
And stepped out from the darkness
After breaking free from these chains
So that I may step into the light

I'm starting over new
With this second chance at life
That God has granted me
To fix the mistakes of my taunting past
So that I may elude the darkness
And finally move on with my life

[Emperor Violenjiger]

LIFE OF THE MENTALLY INSANE,
By: Matt Gardiner

Welcome to what is my life
The novelized story of a madman
Welcome to the place
Where time is standing still for me

Each day that passes by
Feels like its neverended
Is it day break or dawn
I can never tell

All alone inside my mind is decaying
My soul is trapped inside of my head
Stuck within my thoughts there is no escape
Can't tell what's real and what's not

Suffering with me is great emotional pain
That has left my mind mentally scarred
Am I tied, am I doing better?
I can never tell as they inject me with these drugs

Living a fantasy, with sweet delusions of reality
Psychotic and in a schizophrenic state
The doctors took me in, but little do they care
Locked me up and threw away the keys

Never to return to the out doors
I'll never see the light of day again
Never smell smell the open air
Never knowing what's really out there

Once there was a time when I had everything a man could ask for
I was graced by God with a wife and kids
A family that cared for me and meant the world
Until the day I was shipped off to sea to fight a war

Months spent on the frontlines
I had seen more death than most could ever dream of
Driven mad by the horrific sights I had seen
The war had changed me forever

Now I spend my days
Rotting alone inside of this cage
There's no one to befriend
All I've got is myself

The memories of my life are fading each day
Yesterday seems as though it never happened
Was the war real, or have I always been in this cage?
I can't even recall my name...

Trapped inside of this fantasy world I've created
I wither and decay, as I dream off my own death
Dozing off, as visitors are arriving in my cell
"Daddy," this girl cries, but I do not recognize her at all

[Emperor Violenjiger]

TRANSFORM AND TRANSCEND,
By: Matt Gardiner

Far out in the universe, light years ago
Is where life exists
Unlike anything we know today
Machines that can think and feel

But war raged across their lands
Between the forces of good and evil
Devastating everything in its black path
Now driven on the verge of total extinction
We, the forces of good, struggle to survive

Colliding from the stars
We came here to Earth
Trapped inside of this battle
Fought within the cosmos
Robotic warriors, battling in disguise
Changer before your eyes!

(Transform!)
Transform your destiny
To train the brute within
Release the hero without
Transform your destiny
Transform and transcend

Legends speak of a hero
Destined to rise from our ranks
And light our darkest hour
Until the day when the world shall live as one

Intertwining between realities
A shadow rises from the clouds above
Something evil's spawning within you
O' Lord what can we do?

With no where to run
This is where we make our stand
Eclisped within the seize
Of the evil Dark Nova

(Transform!)
Transform your destiny
To train the brute within
Release the hero without
Transform your destiny
Transform and transcend

Power to break the will of men
We must stand united
With our hands together
Stay divided and we are garanteed to fall

As long as you've got faith
Dare to believe
That you can do anything
Make your dreams alive

(Transform!)
Transform your destiny
To train the brute within
Release the hero without
Transform your destiny
Transform and transcend

Its the day of judgement
And the war has come to a halt
The Emperor of Destruction and his rising darkness
Has been driven from our homes

The threat of Dark Nova is no more
And as the battle comes to a close
This war is only beginning
Till the day when the world can live as one

(Transform!)
Transform your destiny
To train the brute within
Release the hero without
Transform your destiny
Transform and transcend

From the ashes of an old foe
A new enemy is born
The world needs a hero now
And now no force can stop the Sentinel Patrol

The prophesy is fulfilled
The wisdom of the ages
Has not been lost
We're all a little wiser now
Roll for action!

(Transform!)
Transform your destiny
To train the brute within
Release the hero without
Transform your destiny
Transform and transcend

[Faith]

my god these are BRILLIANT! I really mean it too! I love all your work and they always leave me saying holy *****. I'm good at writing but no where near as good as you! Keep up the good work!:D

[Emperor Violenjiger]

My lastest poem/song... and it is without a title:

Hiding your pain,
Through death and dignity,
Disgraced,
Purity,
Cold and perverted,
Whats pure is dead,
Destroyed,
Through man's sickness,
Chaos,
Coming, Corrupting,
Waiting for the sign,
To stare the face of death,
Pain,
Pain is salvation,
For the undead ones,
Immoral,
There is no good left,
Only tainted sins,
Happiness,
Is only a dream,
Pain,
Pain is real,
Pain,
Touch this pain you'll feel

[Burkion]

I wrote it, quite litterly, in five minuets. Five minuets ago... here it is. (I don't think it's very good but still.)

Song: My Love can never be…



For as long as I live,

My love will be eternal

For as long as she lives

My love will never be…

For my love

Is not ment to be

With her

But with out

My love will die

Why, oh why

Must I be cursed

With an eternal love

That can never be

Why, oh why

Must I love

Some one such as her

Why oh why

Must my love be

Immortal

Why oh why

Must she be mortal

Why oh why

Must she not even know my name

For as long as I live,

My love will never be known

For she must never know…

Why oh why,

Why must love be

Eternal…

I will be singing this song with back ground singers two of which are my friends and very good singers. Also there will be a panio player and the drums and vaiolanes everything.

Here is the song Taylor Dayne's Love will Lead You Back.


Saying goodbye is never an easy thing
But you never said you'd stay forever
So if you must go, darling I'll set you free
But I know in time we'll be together
I won't try to stop you from leaving
Cause in my heart I know
Love will lead you back
Someday I just know that
Love will lead you back to my arms
Where you belong
I'm sure, sure as stars are shining
One day you will find me again
It won't be long
One of these days our love will lead you back
One of these nights I'll hear your voice again
You're gonna say how much you miss me
You'll walk out this door
But someday you'll walk back in
Darling I know, I know this will be
Sometimes it takes
Some time out on your own now
To find your way back home
Love will lead you back
Someday I just know that
Love will lead you back to my arms
Where you belong
I'm sure, sure as stars are shining
One day you will find me again
It won't be long
One of these days our love will lead you back
I won't try to stop you now from leaving
Cause in my heart I know, oh
Love will lead you back
Someday I just know that
Love will lead you back to my arms
Where you belong
I'm sure, sure as stars are shining
One day you will find me again
It won't be long
One of these days our love will lead you back

Its a very very good song and when mikalah Gordon singed it on american idol it sounded even better when she singed it two weeks ago on 80's billboard top 100 day on american idol two weeks ago.

Also I have a friend who lives in New York,Long Island Old WestBury they actully live in the same neighborhood as the Gotti's like 1 house down from them.

[Zearatul]

Heh, it's times like that when you wish you could tell what they were thinking. Hell, it'd make a descision I think I'm going to have to make a helluva lot easier.

Anyhow, the song poses a nice question. Although I think 'Say' was used too much. But, still, a good song.

Song: What would you say?



If I came to you and said

What you wanted me to say

Would you laugh at me

Would you scold me

Or would you say it back

Why can?t I say

What it is I want to say

Is it because

My heart is cold

Is it because

I fear what you might say

With out your warmth

My heart is cold

Why must my

Heart be so cold

Why must we

Stay apart

As we do

What would you do

If I told you so

Would you laugh

Would you scold

Or would you say

You loved me?
Now that was better than the first. In fact, it was pretty good.

Song: Why Lord?



I lay awake

Screaming

And yelling

In pain

And hate

Wondering why

Why they must die

I lay awake

Wondering why they must hurt

No tears will come

No sadness will surface

Only undeniable

Hate and loathing

In life,

There is death

And there is pain

In life,

There is joy

And pleasure

So I must ask

Where is joy

And where is pleasure

For all I see

Is nothing but death

And hate

And pain

What have I done

Oh Lord

To deserve this

Why won’t you answer me

Lord, why won’t you answer me

Who can I blame

The driver

The heart

Or the people around

Why can’t I fight

To protect the ones I love

Why is it

Oh Lord

Why won’t you answer me

Lord, why won’t you answer me

In life

There is death

And there is pain

In life

There is joy

And there is pleasure

Why Lord, won’t you answer me

Why won’t you answer me

You remain silent

As all I can do is scream

And yell

Why Lord

Why won’t you answer me…

[Trauma]

Identity

My life, once so repetitive
So average, so boring

My eyes were shut, yet I saw everything.



But now, so slowly

The lid is eaten away; the norm is torn from under me

My eyes were shut, now I see everything.



I see the pain, the anguish

It flows all around me, washes over me

My eyes were shut, now I see this true society.



My body shows the same wounds

The scars mark me. We are all the same

My eyes were shut, now I see I am the same as them.



How can this be me, I am myself

But what I see is the same as what I view in the mirror

My eyes were shut, now I see we are all society



It is all so clear. We are all the same

For so long it has been this way, it is all so clear

My eyes were shut, now I see no one has an identity



My eyes were shut for so long

But now I know the true society

My eyes are shut, now I walk with my true identity



Society

[Trauma]

Autobiography



Silence overwhelms

Shadows cover all

My mind is tranquil,

The calm before the storm



Unorthodox is my fear

My own mind questions me

Is this all part of me,

This feeling, unfamiliar



Like bolts from the sky

The new emotion bursts through

Destroying all I built,

All I live for



Silence creeps in

Shadows appear

Again it is happening,

My greatest fear



Rising hot,

Boiling

I stop it at the surface

My last chance



Overcome by emotion

Hate is my sin

Anger my plague,

Wipe my slate clean



It all starts again

[Trauma]

Epic Romance



Tragic battle.

My body strikes out,

My mind lashes back

At war with myself.



Your presence. Your love.

My body wants,

My mind embraces.

It cannot be.



I choke it down, shove it back.

Strangle my body

Suffocate the mind.

This cannot be.



Your eyes strike at me, so inviting.

Scratch mine out won’t you please,

Rid me of them.

This will never be.



Collapsing reality.

Body falls away,

Mind disintegrates.

I will make this be.



**** Society.

I will embrace you,

My mind and body.

This has to be
My one true sanity.

This is about a girlfriend who i can never be with, becuase of distance

[Kaiser Kronos]

"The Doom of all."

There is a silence, a silence we know. A silence.
A world riven by war, turmoil and violence.
Once we said, never again.
Now, millions have died from that same sin.
Doom shall come upon us, when we flee.
Doom shall bestride us, when we plead.
The dim Thule of Hope,
now overtaken by the throat.
Why has this come upon us? The politicians cry.
They are not alone. The People also ask why.
What is reality,
but our minds and what they see?
CHORUS:
We will die by dawn,
we will be slaughtered alone.
We will be thrown,
we will be strong!
The King is dead, the president's shot,
we all cry, "Guten Gott!"
Night has fallen, the darkness comes,
all fears have been summed.
The agents and the Supers have begun,
the world knows not its Son.
We are alone, there is no one.
The nation has fired its great gun.
I find this has been a decline,
monsters haunt my mind!
Doom shall come upon us all.
Tomorrow we all shall fall!
Chorus again.
So what do ya'll think?

[Emperor Violenjiger]

Interesting songs BD. Who said emotional suffering was such a bad thing, as it always inspires wonderful art (which has to be the only positive thing about it). I think I liked the second one, "What would you say?" the best. The first one reminded me of Afiag a bit.

[Zearatul]

Glad to hear you did well.
But is singed like sang? :p

Here...

MY WORLD,
By: Matt Gardiner

My world to me
Is your own hell
Where I reign in happiness
You suffer the scorn

And in my world
You can't see me
But I see you
And every move you make

No secrets
Can you hide from me
I'm always there
In the shadows of your mind

My world to me
Is a dungeon for you
Where I reign in happiness
You suffer the torture of a mad man

In my world
Your mind was raped
Purity lost forever
You can never go back

And in my world
Your privilege to live free
Is no more
You belong to me

Welcome to my world
And now that you're here
I won't keep you long
I'll keep you for eternity

[ConanEdogawa]

Oh yeah sang sorry about that.:p


But I can't wait to go to NewYork.:D

Heh, I guess it dose remind me alittle bit of Afiag...would explain why I had the guy moaining about her being mortal....about the second one, yeah I like it too. But, MY personal favoerit was 'Why Lord' because it really has alot to do with that has been happening around me...

[Emperor Violenjiger]

What's going on, or is it too personal to discuss?

[Burkion]

Well, my grandmother died not too long ago(I belive it was just a month or so...) of a heartattack, and one of my favoriet dogs got hit by a car and died. Then another one got hit, and that's when I wrote the 'Why Lord' song...while my mom and sister was taking the dog to the vet. Thus, the 'Should I blame the heart, the Driver' line. Plus...I wonder if you know how it is to be utterly useless, when you can do nothing to help others.

[Trauma]

Hmm, I am learning bass. But for guitar i don't know, and drumgs?. Can't you sing, Khan?I hope you liked your poems, i think we should have some "poetry" sharing in the chatroom some time....

[Emperor Violenjiger]

My lastest poem/song... and it is without a title:

Hiding your pain,
Through death and dignity,
Disgraced,
Purity,
Cold and perverted,
Whats pure is dead,
Destroyed,
Through man's sickness,
Chaos,
Coming, Corrupting,
Waiting for the sign,
To stare the face of death,
Pain,
Pain is salvation,
For the undead ones,
Immoral,
There is no good left,
Only tainted sins,
Happiness,
Is only a dream,
Pain,
Pain is real,
Pain,
Touch this pain you'll feelAny ideas for a title?

[Burkion]

I have a triple header for you guys today. I was in a song writing mood last night...note the third one may as well be a continuation of 'What would you say', and is kinda sad.
My Heart is so Cold…



My heart,

Is so, so cold

With out you

Why did you leave

Why did you

With out you,

My heart is stone

With out you

My heart is cold

How is it

That we spend

All our time

Fighting and screaming

Over the same damn thing

Why can’t I care for you

Like I used to

Is it because

My heart is stone

Is it because

My heart is cold

I walk down the path of Redemption

And found Damnation

I walked down the path of Damnation

And found Redemption

Why’d you leave

Why did you take

My heart with you

You were the only one

I could ever love

And now I am alone

With just another doll

Why did you

Have to leave

Why did you

Have to take my heart

I walked down the path of Redemption

And found Damnation

I walked down the path of Damnation

And found Redemption

Why did you leave

Why, why can’t I love you

anymore…







I can see



I’m the weird one

You’re the perfect one

You are flawless

I am flawed

You cannot stand

To see me as I am

This is me

That is you

I am who I am

You are nothing more then

A pretty porcelain doll

I am the original

You are the copy

Who is real

And who is fake

I know this now

You are an empty shell

With nothing inside

But pretty feelings

Inside of me,

There is an untold rage

Inside of you

There is nothing

Inside of me

There is a powerful soul

Inside of you, there is nothing

You are what you are

A glorified *****

I am what I am

An original weirdo

Who has a tormented soul

Why no one else

Can see you

I do not know

Am I the only one who can see

The truth

You are nothing with our your beauty

I am everything you wish to be

And yet

You resent me

For this very reason

That I am not

A hollow shell

That I am

An original

Yeah

That’s what I am

An original

You are a shell

With nothing left inside

You are just another pretty doll…



The Choice



Here we are

Finally together

Now I must make a choice

But why

He stands with you

I hold the knife

He holds you to him

As I hold none

Here we are

Finally together

Now I must

Make a choice

I look away

As I run forward

And knock the gun away

Here we are

Finally together

The choice has been made

Here we lay

In each other’s arms

As she lays my head

In her lap

The knife in his chest

The bullet in my heart

Life is slipping

From our grasp

We had a choice

And yet

We did not

Now the light fades

As your voice

Filled with despair

Your face

Looks down on me

I wipe a tear from your eye

And accept my fate

My choice has been made

My life

For yours

Yeah,

The choice

Has been made

Now,

I have but one request

Take care of our

Little girl

And you whisper

‘I love you’ as you lay

Holding your body

Against mine

Crying and hugging my body

Telling me it’ll be alright

As my body falls limp

With a small smile

On my face

As I whisper

I love you too…

You can join chrous and sing but you they will teach you how to learn stuff like reading musicstuff like that.

MY NEWEST SONG!

THE RED EYES,
By: Matt Gardiner

Dormant in a land
Devoid of light
Where darkness reigns

From my window
...Its creeping through
I can see the red eyes of the devil
Staring back at me

I can run but not hide
No matter where I turn
I cannot escape the glare of
The red eyes (shout my name with envy)
I can run but not hide
Trapped inside the closest
I cannot escape the gaze of
The red eyes, screaming my name with envy

Stalking me in the darkness of the night
Fearing the scars of the emotionless ones
The flame of the soul ignites
Stealing away the hearts of the innocent

The spell has been cast
Leaving behind the mark of the evil eyes
That burns on through the ill-will
Unredeemed in hollow vanity

I can run but not hide
No matter where I turn
I cannot escape the glare of
The red eyes (shout my name with envy)
I can run but not hide
Trapped inside the closest
I cannot escape the gaze of
The red eyes, screaming my name with envy

Believing in the lies of yesterday
I want to know what love is
But it seems impossible to find
Lost through my mortality

If I could look inside of me
Tell me what you know I'd see
Would I be able to face me?
Only the red eyes can see

I can run but not hide
No matter where I turn
I cannot escape the glare of
The red eyes (shout my name with envy)
I can run but not hide
Trapped inside the closest
I cannot escape the gaze of
The red eyes, screaming my name with envy

There is nowhere left for me to run
And nowhere left to hide
The red eyes will hunt down
Caught in the dead of night

I cannot run or hide
No matter where I turn
I cannot escape the glare of
The red eyes (shout my name with envy)
I cannot run or hide
Trapped inside the closest
I cannot escape the gaze of
The red eyes, screaming my name with envy

[Emperor Violenjiger]

IF YOU WERE HERE,
By: Matt Gardiner

I'm lost and torn through
Wearing this chain around my heart
I'm looking for something
That feeling that I've lost

Is my pain see through?
Can you see straight through this lie?
Can you see straight through my urban mask?
Can you see straight through my heart?

Trying to hold on
To these feelings
That aren't there no more
They died when she broke me
For what I thought
Would last a life time
The broken heart
I thought would never mend

Nothing to hide
My heart and soul
An open book
For the world to see
It doesn't matter to me
I'm the one they'll never understand

If you were here
Would I be able
To tell you how
I really feel In my heart?
If you were here
Would I be able
To tell you that I love you?

Can you see behind my skeletal mask
The real me who hides behind this deathly lie?
Can you see beneath my skin
That I'm not feeling alright?
Cab you see that truth within my eyes
Knowing that all I've done is lie away my pain?

Why is it so hard for me
To say to you, I love you
Am I afraid of the things you'll say
What is it that makes me this way?

Too scared to open up at all
There are times I think
I would be better off dead
If I just up and left

If you were here
Would I be able
To tell you how
I really feel in my heart?
If you were here
Would I be able
To tell you that I love you?

I want to be at your side
And be your hero of the day
To pick you up when you feel down
To shut them up when they laugh at you

You were standing in a horde
Of a thousand people
And the only one that I could se
Was you, all alone amongst the crowd

If only I could let you know
Just how I feel
So I won't try and change
These feelings that I feel

If you were here
Would I be able
To tell you how
I really feel In my heart?
If you were here
Would I be able
To tell you that I love you?

[Trauma]

That is some good ****, you are better at writing poems/songs them me, and although I have had tragedy in my life, most of my poems are of what i observe not what i have endured...

That reaper poem reminds be about the one i need to post in my section, i think its pretty good. But like I have said before, me and you and other more darkly poetic writers need to get together in the chat and make a collaboration of poems or just one poem or something...

[Trauma]

Reaper all my own



1.

Held up by

My final chain,

I pull and tug

There is no escape



Trapped within the labyrinth

Of my mind

I wander and search

There is no escape



Leading him through every passage

And every emotion

I lead him through to you

There is no escape



Providing me with sanity,

Reassurance

He urges and pushes me to you

There is no escape for you know



I have sealed your fate,

I have showed him the way

He will kill you,

There is no escape



2.

My reward is sanity,

To finally gain control

I have sealed your fate,

Rewarded with my own



But what is this,

It is rotten and impure

This guilt has plagued me

Has taken my sanity



He has taken all

Wiped my life away

Like the disease I really am

The Reaper claims his prize



My sanity



3.

Stripped of life,

Of essence and emotion

I sit here

Ridden with the words of his mind



Why are you here

End it now

Sacrifice, suicide

These are his benedictions



I cannot face him,

I killed you, he did not

I stripped you of your skin,

I tore your mind away



He is not here

He is not real

Reaper all my own

Reaper of all I’ve known



Sanity is the Reaper

So enticing, so luscious

I never needed it

It needed me



It has me know

Take me, embrace me

Sanity is my Reaper

Insanity my angel



Reaper all my own

Plaguing me to kill all that I love

[Trauma]

True Friends die for you



So pitiful, I almost feel sorry

The look in those eyes

The feel of the skin

Cold and dieing



This pleasure, this body

Is worthless to me now

Empty of terror

A vessel of sin



Quenched is my thirst now

This one’s soul was vast with hope, and dreams yet to unfold

Like a parasite I have fed off these souls

Ate away their life



From the first cut, to their last breath

I embrace their screams

I take in their pain

It is theirs to give, mine to take



Crimson are my tools

Black are my eyes

The colors of death my mind

The next vessel has been chosen



Concealed by the shadows

Waiting

For it has fallen into my mind, my trap

It will now quench my thirst



These screams don’t satisfy

This blood isn’t red

For this was a stranger

Not a friend

[Emperor Violenjiger]

TRUST,
By: Matt Gardiner

Swallowing your truth
With a trust that only tells lies
Doubting your faithfulness
Why are you even here?

I've loved you
And I've hated you
For the games you play
Now I feel nothing
For you but suspicion of mistrust

I don't believe in
The things you say to me

I think you're here
To drive me mad
I think you're here
To make me sad
I think you're here
To turn me bad
Why can't you go away?

I remember there was a time
When we were closer than friends
And we had everything
What happened
To the reliance we once knew?
What the Hell has happened to you?!

Once you were
Like a best friend to me
Someone I could rely on
When I was feeling down

Now, I know you so well
That I don't even know
Who, exactly, you've become
Or if I ever knew you at all

I think you're here
To drive me mad
I think you're here
To make me sad
I think you're here
To turn me bad
Why can't you go away?

Swallowing your truth
With a trust that only tells lies
The feeling that never dies
Can we go back
To the friendship we once knew?
Or will I always be
Caught in the web of this lie?!

[Emperor Violenjiger]

Plus...I wonder if you know how it is to be utterly useless, when you can do nothing to help others.Now I'm sure that can't to be completely true...

[Wiz]

Song: Candy Corn

It's that time of year again
Halloween has come at last
I would think, hey, I'd have a blast
The reality sets in and I realize
Holy crap, I'm nineteen
Peope don't appreciate me knocking on their door
"Trick or treat!"
Depriving a toddler of candy forever more
So I sit watching Friday the 13th Part 4

Midnight hits and I know the kids are done
Done annoying me, done ringing the bell
Done celebrating a holiday that is the reason we're going to Hell
My time to reap the benefits
Candy, what's left over in the bowl will surely be mine
Reaching in, hoping for a Mr. Crackel or even a Twix
But God, he loves to play his tricks

CANDY CORN!
Who thought up this crap?
CANDY CORN!
It doesn't even come in a wrap
CANDY CORN!
Corn that tastes like candy
CANDY CORN!
Candy that looks like corn
CANDY CORN!
It's promises go unfilled
CANDY CORN!
Your as much fun as Jerry Fallwell
CANDY CORN!
But only half the fat
CANDY CORN!
You don't even fit the rhyme scheme
CANDY CORN!
I could rhyme you with 'Sandy Porn'.
CANDY CORN!
But that doesn't make any damn sense.



......HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! :intears: :intears: Okay...I think I'm done now.

as for BD's, they are pretty good. They started out a little short for a song, but now they are longer. I noticed that they don't exactly have verses or a chorus. It seems more like a poem.

[Trauma]

Untitled for now

You look
But you don’t see

You touch

But you don’t feel

You think

But you don’t know



Who I am

What I am

Beneath this mask

Every day

It covers my face



Every thought

Each emotion

And intention

They hide behind

My mask



My life,

Me

It is all a masquerade

All you see

All you feel

It is false

A lie



For you have chose to stay

Within the darkness you will lye

To never see the truth

Is your gift

Your one true god given prayer



Oblivious, ignorant

All your sins

Your curse

I have chosen a lie

But you live it



Remove my mask

You will see

Behind the lie

Is a mirror for all to see

[Emperor Violenjiger]

Two new ones:

WITHHOLD TO SHAME,
By: Matt Gardiner

Tangled within the sanctuary
Of my darkest hour
Cremating in the abyss of my heart
Withholding your shame

Secreted across your face
Ruining dignity with pride
Raped of your independence
You can't ignore the truth

Withholding your shame
Beneath my mask
Pride was destroyed with purity
From the beast that lives inside you

Scolded by anomosity
We exist only to feed
Off the phobia of the living
Among this spreading disease

Our faces you can't see
Who is the one hiding behind me?
Our names you can't recall
You're not the hero standing tall

We are the Forgotten
The disgrace of humanity
Creations of man's unfaithful ways
Children of a nation's twisted dream

The bleeding won't stop (for you)
As the world just died
Garanteed to lose all control
The pain never takes a day off

You've tangled yourself
Within the web of our darkest hour
Cremating in the abyss of my heart
I withhold your shame

Denying your name
We're not the ones to blame
Can you feel this flame?
Its I that hides your shame
---

MY DISASTERPIECE,
By: Matt Gardiner

Screaming, across the boundaries of time
But no one can hear you
Eluded within your mind
All alone without the pain

You're livin' another lie
And you don't care
Quit pretendin' to be something you're not
I know you don't have anything I've got

You can't hide from the truth
I told you we could never be
Why did you choose to stay?
Step into the fire

Memories fade away
Just like yesterday
The moments spent with you
They're gone - gone - gone

Crawling to the doorsteps
Of your heart
Why pretend I'm fine
When your smile hides a lie?
Why pretend I'm fine
When simple smiles mask bold lies?

You'll never understand
These feelings I feel today
You'll never understand
The reason I am today

Makin' another stop
At the heartbreak station
I never knew what I had
And now its gone - gone - gone!

Scream, like you never did before
As I deny my face
This is no masterpiece, or work of art
Its a disasterpiece!

Crawling to the doorsteps
Of your heart
Why pretend I'm fine
When your smile hides a lie?
Why pretend I'm fine
When simple smiles mask bold lies?

Crawling to the doorsteps
Of your heart
Why pretend I'm fine
When your smile hides a lie?
Why pretend I'm fine
When simple smiles mask bold lies?

Don't speak of love that never was
The end is always truthful
Its the end that never lies
The end that never tries
The end that never dies!

[Trauma]

“I love you,

I need you”

From my breath

Yours returned to me



I placed the noose around my neck

Stoop upon the chair

Patiently I waited,

For you to kick it out



“I want you,

Can’t live without you”

From my smile

Yours returned to me



Why won’t you answer me?

Talk to me

Bring me down

And make this feel real



Standing there

Obviously plotting there

What to be done with this,

Ignorant fool



Laying there,

Phone in hand

Waiting for the familiar

Hearing all but your comfort



Broke without you,

Dying with you

Pulled by my want,

My need

Down from this noose around my neck

[Kaiser Kronos]

My name is Legion, for we are many.
Nightime sharpens, darkness awakes,
voices echo, bodies shake.
Carnick's mocking laughter echoes in the background,
Christoffels's dark humor always makes a sound.
Walter speaks loudly, singing "Desolation Row,"
Patricia mocks him, saying"Why're you so slow?"
The demoniac of the Gerasenes's voice calls,
"My name is Legion, for we are many," the
agents speak, their voices causing falls.
The Roth sisters chat and mutter,
Monroe speaks his childish voice, saying "Oh, brother."
The three Christian brothers walk down the street,
hyper Johnathan dancing to his own beat.
"My name is Legion, for we are many,"
we say, knowing our lives ain't worth a penny.
William Milligan mocks all, his selves conversing,
we hear the shouts and laughter, reputations besmirching.
The monsters pace and roar, voices all a-burning,
constantly evolving, we are ever learning.
This is our truth, we are many in one body,
no matter what the mockery, and laughter that is shoddy.
Once more the dreadful call comes forth from the depths,
"My name is Legion, for we are many!" Good Heavens,
are we possessed?

[Burkion]

Very good KK! Hey, EV, how about we make a ballad or something? I forgot what the long songs that tells a story were called...any other song/poem writers?

[Emperor Violenjiger]

Two new additions to my collection:

NEVER TURN YOUR BACK ON A BLACK WIDOW SPIDER,
By: Matt Gardiner

Into my life this beauty crawled
Unaware of the evil inside
She was innocent, yet so devious
I didn't see behind her myramid eyes

She was the biggest mistake I ever made
She was the greatest mistake I ever made
She was the worst mistake I ever made
She's the last mistake I'll ever make

Loving her was wrong
It was she I could never trust
Now I've learnt my lesson
Never turn your back
On a black widow spider

Bending my mind with surreal lies
I have become entangled and trapped
Within her deceitful games
And unrivaled treachery

Now I've got myself tangled in her
Web of love and lies
I'm caught within this
Web of hate and passion

Loving her was wrong
It was she I could never trust
Now I've learnt my lesson
Never turn your back
On a black widow spider

I'm living my life her way
Behind these lies
Masked and blinded from all truth
Unable to move, I'm living in her way

Because I'm tangled in her
Web of love and lies
I'm caught within this
Web of hate and passion

Never again will I turn my back
To a black widow spider
Now that I'm dead!



...and here is the second one....

LOVE SHINES THROUGH THE RAIN,
By: Matt Gardiner

Turned on the radio today
Heard your favourite song
O' baby how it made me think of you
And I wish that I was there right now

I know its hard
To share love
When we're so far apart
But if you give me a chance
I can show you love
Like never before
If you give me this chance
I can show you to the stars
And let our love shine through the rain

I constantly find you on my mind
Your love makes me feel
So warm and complete inside
I want to show
These same feelings

And I'd give it all away
To spend the night with you
And hold you close, hold you near
To hold you in my arms

I know its hard
To share love
When we're so far apart
But if you give me a chance
I can show you love
Like never before
If you give me this chance
I can show you to the stars
And let our love shine through the rain

I'm alone without you
Dreaming about you
You're in my heart
You're in my soul
And I know
That you and I were meant to be
As my heart beats on
Guiding me to you

I know its hard
To share love
When we're so far apart
But if you give me a chance
I can show you love
Like never before
If you give me this chance
I can show you to the stars
And let our love shine through the rain

I know this is hard
To share our love
When we're so far from each other
So give me a chance, please
To show you loving like never before
Give me this chance
To take you to the stars
And let our love shine through the rain...
