Songs I've Written
So I decided to throw some songs up that I've written. I hope nobody finds them to be too terrible. :)
NOTE - THESE ARE ALL NOT COMPLETE.
This one is a new one. This one IS complete. I had the chorus in my head, but nothing to sing about to lead to the chorus. so due to recent circumstances in my life, I penned this tune. The way it sounds is great.
From Deep Within
You called me up and told the news; yeah, it was bad.
It was too much to bear, it almost drove me mad
to think you think that this was not so wrong.
To think you think nothing. Seems that we won't last too long.
I've seen it before and I'll see it again,
all lies come from deep within.
And I've seen it before and I'll see it again,
all lies come from deep within
Cheat and hide and then come forward. I've seen better days.
You promise me it's over and you'll mend your ways
away from the way that I feel inside me
inside, deep inside, is where you'll never find me, baby, yeah
I've seen it before and I'll see it again
all lies come from deep within
and I've seen it before and I'll see it again
all lies come from deep within
The trust is gone, can't deny the fact.
I want you to try to earn it back.
Do you care enough, enough to show me lots
of attempts to try to break thorugh these locks?
I've seen it before and I'll see it again
all lies come from deep within
and I've seen it before and I'll see it again
all lies come from deep within
And now, we sit in silence, not really knowing what to say
I see you crying, and in my eyes, that's okay.
And I feel like you feel that you finally realize
the wrong in this song. Now I'll permit you within my eyes
I've seen it before and I'll see it again
sorrow comes from deep within
and I've seen it before and I'll see it again
forgiveness comes from deep within
and I lived it before and I'll live it again
consolance comes from deep within
and I've craved you before and I'll crave you again
my love comes from deep within
from deep within
from deep within
from deep within
from deep within

The Great Beyond (I totally wrote this before the REM song came out!)
Sitting, waiting
Anticipating catastrophes and
Why should I try to deny that I cry through the night
Because I’m terrified and scared for you?
Do you wish to see the great beyond?
Darkness and cold, you have grown so fond…
Do you wish to see the great beyond?
Just one problem – you’re not leaving me.
Waiting, hoping
Constantly moping, my heart is hoping for
Just one chance to balance and enhance
Make you dance, and see the brighter side of the moon
Do you wish to see the great beyond?v
Darkness and cold, you have grown so fond…
Do you wish to see the great beyond?
Just one problem – you’re not leaving me.
Hoping, dying,
Constantly crying, my heart is dying for
A way to say that today is the way to a way that is safe
And better for you.
Do you wish to see the great beyond?
Darkness and cold, you have grown so fond…
Do you wish to see the great beyond?
Just one problem – you’re not leaving me.

Again
On a cold windy night
I realized that my world was not right
and I cried until dawn
until all my dreams were not wrong.
I tried to run away,
but I knew that I could never leave, just stay
and I believe that days will become better than these
and the morning sun made me feel right at ease.
And I saw another way out, but I turned back ‘round again
And I sit and sip a mellow drink from my wild best friend.
And I search through deep meanings and deep feelings
And I say to myself so softly . . .
“AGAIN!”
The morning sun turned to moon
and I was depressed cause bliss had left so soon.
But I realized right then
that things are the same as they had been.
Familiarity sometimes dons a different hood,
but change comes with life, as it always should.
So, I sat and laughed a while
and, for the first time, out came my smile
And I saw another way out, but I turned back ‘round again
And I sit and sip a mellow drink from my wild best friend.
And I search through deep meanings and deep feelings
And I say to myself so softly . . .
“AGAIN!”
So no more running from home.
It’s time to grow up and deal with things just so.
I feel that I’ve finally found my place
And I can’t run from the future when it’s right in my face.
And I finally feel at home
With things that I’ve always known
so I pocket my troubles and face the oncoming wind
and I feel delighted that I found a way to win.
And I saw another way out, but I turned back ‘round again
And I sit and sip a mellow drink from my wild best friend.
And I search through deep meanings and deep feelings
And I say to myself so softly . . .
“AGAIN!”

Genuine
And I wonder if there is a place for me
On this earth that is so fresh and green
And I know that there is resolution
In my solution
And I know that I am sounding kinda weird
But something inside me has steered
Toward thinking that something is freaky and weekly within
I like to think about my life
(All the time, all the time, all the time)
And I like to discuss it all if it’s genuine
And I see the pretty little people walking
And the pretty little people talking
And I wonder if I should be walking and talking with them
And I need to shut up for now and think
And realize my own mistake
To think that I am a mistake on walls that takes out time
I like to cry out to the moon at night
And I smile and dry my tears cause I know that it is genuine
I like to laugh and to sleep and to dream and to feel high
As long as it’s with friends, I know I’m feeling genuine

Hole
White porcelain walls can’t keep clean what came out…
And soft pillows and comforters can’t make up for nights sleep lost in doubt
And I held your feet from touching the ground
And I made sure your life was safe and sound . . .
You’ve dug this hole
You’ve dug this hole
And while I can fill it up high and move on with my life
You’ve dug this hole
On the highways, I watched billboards as they turned from black to gray
And I noticed that, day by day, you didn't want me to stay
And on the radio, I heard you pleasantly say that you really hated the way
I wanted to be in the way.
You dug this hole
You dug it deep and wide
And while I can fill it up high and move on with my life
That hole will remain inside
I came forward, said what’s the deal?
You said, no sir, no way, that’s all false, what we have is real
And I bought it
And I asked again, later, in the day,
and you had something different to say
Without a word, you told me no, to move on, get a life
I’m not right, I have no hope to have a life
You dug this hole
You dug it with your hands
And while I can fill it up high and move on with my life
I think I’ll never understand
