sorry guys, forgot to look back on this thread

something I wrote a while ago:

[intro]

"[verse 1]
can't get my feet back on the ground
me and you are running in the sky
no fear of falling at all

[chorus]
and you wonder why
we found ourselves up high
and we're not coming down
never before have I been this free

[verse 2]
can't get my feet back on the ground,
got my head stuck in the clouds
I sense the feeling all around

[chorus]
and you wonder why
what else have we got to live for?
cuz we're not coming down
we're living now
never shall we fall back down"


something I am writing at the moment:

"[verse 1]
you face the depression with open arms
I've never seen, such a broken heart,
all those things that you never did,
and never saw, you could've lived

[chorus]
But you were on your own
inside those four walls that you called home
the thought of those times never left
and we will never forget, we will never forget"


lol not the best but not the worst :)

I write some stuff for my band. We all sort of come up with stuff equally though, even though most of the stuff we actually use is my lead guitarist's - kid's a bloody genius when it comes to music.
 
better ones i've written:

Closing in on the night
My thought consumes my mind
Lost within my own shallow grave
I tell myself everything will be okay
I can only hope everything will be okay

Why don't I know how to feel?
My mind is tired of playing these games
But the thoughts that haunt my mind wont rest
Blackened skies tell me my future
Surely, my only true weakness is myself

Empty cries resonate through my body
This torture is enough
You and I both know I want out
The blood I've spilled won't ever be enough for you, will it?
Falling down was the easy part
The real task is getting up

Why don't I know how to feel?
My mind is tired of playing these games
But the thoughts that haunt my mind wont rest
Blackened skies tell me my future
Surely, my only true weakness is myself

I'm stuck in a never-ending lie
Digging deeper and deeper never seemed so real
These words have never been so true
"You reap what you sew"
My desperate, worn facade will tell you everything you ever wanted

I've built myself to where I wanted to be
And I crush myself under it all
I've never hoped for so much
And seen so little of it come true
Nothing is okay anymore, is it?
All I'm hearing is shallow lies
Nothing is okay anymore, is it?
Screaming is like music to your ears
And all I'll ever do is hope to break that barrier
But the fog assures me
I will never see who I am again

---

Of course I will always remember the day
I saw her bright eyes leave the room, worn and torn
She had given the world to me but decided to take it back
Paper ghosts and statuesque stares drill away
My heart, left open and blue, sighing, wishing it was no longer you

Don't tell me that those things called dreams
Are just as painful as reality
Because I wasted my life away, and the last thing I want to see
Is reality wasn't any better than what I hoped it would be

We all live under the hope that apologies mean something
It's different when I'm not being looked at face to face
While my heart breaks, for all anyone knows, you care much less
I'll hear you and him, talking back and forth.
And unknowingly, I'll hear the three words I didn't want to hear you say again

Don't tell me that those things called dreams
Are just as painful as reality
Because I wasted my life away, and the last thing I want to see
Is reality wasn't any better than what I hoped it would be

You used to tell me not to crack, used to whisper in my ear
"You and I, we know how to work this out."
And maybe for a while you told the truth
Cause I told myself to believe you
And for the longest while, you knew I did

I'm burning all these pictures now
You would claim they make us remember the good times
Why is it that when I see your face, I don't remember what your voice was like?
Back when there was a difference between love and hate
I don't see a point in remembering your voice
