I love to write songs, and some of my friends already know that the only reason I don't put many up here is because I'm horrible at coming up with choruses. But, for those rare occasions when I like them, I shall try to put them up. (Btw, the melody for the verses of this first one comes from This Wild Life's song Roots and Branches)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The violence that leaves us feeling empty,
Destroys hope that we might have in a dream,
This feeling in my chest,
Gives way to eternal rest,
But I can't sleep just yet tonight.
You don't understand, I need to get away,
Locked in my head, I guess I'm here to stay,
My life within your eyes,
Look past this strange disguise,
I don't know who I am tonight.
I've lost myself, going down that road again,
I couldn't find my way, don't know where I was then (eh)
All I remember from the past,
We were reliant to the last,
But there are times when even love can't help you out.
This blackness it splits my soul into shards,
Feeling my way I'm trying so hard,
The light from your heart it guides me,
I know that you are right beside me,
But there are times when I wander off the path.
I remember once, when you loved me back.
I felt like I was finally on the right track.
You left me high and dry,
But look to the moonlit sky,
It's the same one I see every night.
I've lost myself, going down that road again,
I couldn't find my way, don't know where I was then (eh)
All I remember from the past,
We were reliant to the last,
But there are times when even love can't help you out.
