Original Lyrics

Post by Lexington Steele »

Here is a song that i wrote about a year ago that i kinda forgot about! I know the rhyming is a bit repititious. Feel free to comment. . . . .

Funny how her dreams will take her anywhere
Away from this wasted life
Lost in a place beyond the sky
Where her falling stars burn bright

There’s dark side to heaven
And a light side to hell
It lurking deep within these dreams
She’s grown to trust so well

Promises made and shattered
As she fears a dull final breathe
What does it really matter?
When her dreams are all she has left

Days end brings darkness
As it drains the life from the sky
The time is nearing for all of us
As her faith begins to run dry
She runs from here
Breaking out if this place
Hiding alone in her room
With this hopeless feeling of hopelessness
At the whim of the stars and the moon

She wastes these hours
As the days go by
A false sense of wrong and right
Closing her eyes to escape her fate
Hiding alone in the dark of the night
Nothing is real
Nothing is wrong
Her problems are more than they seem
Tucks it away for another day
Hoping tomorrow it will all be a dream

PEACE!!! :wink:
don't kid yourself and don't fool yourself
this love's too good to last and i'm too old to dream

don't grow up too fast don't embrace the past
this life's too good to last and i'm too young to care

don't kid yourself and don't fool yourself
this life could be the last and we're too young to see

repetitious rhyming isn't always such a bad thing, it is pretty good too.

I'm not really sure what inspired it. I guess the frist 2 lines came from a poem i wrote during a nasty break up. Just used them while i was playing and a song came from it. Reading it over, i can't really say its about anyone though. I guess sad times call for sad ideas.

you have a great talent. It's a bummer that the fate you wrote for the girl is so damn dreary though. you did it really well, talented.

Yes there is a guitar part i have for it but the problem is singing it. I can't make my voice sound the way i want it to. Alot of it is to be sung like certain parts of grey street. . .forcefull, almost screaming. When i try it i sound like i'm going through puberty again. My brother sings so hopefully the 2 of us can get this posted soon.
