Don't like it? Then don't read it. Simple solution.
Songs
I've written a few songs that I've actually kept secret from... like... everyone.
The guys in the band found my book, though, and decided to read the songs.
I believe at least three of them are going to be played, and I figured I'd share them on here.

Dream

(Verse 1)
I'm floating
Embraced by this nothingness
Its inticing
Inviting
But still invading
And I'm suffocating

(Chrous)
I refuse to think (Refuse to think)
And I refuse to move (I won't move)
Instead I'll look back
At my 'could have been'

(Verse 2)
And I feel so trapped
Chained to my past
Don't wanna look
Don't wanna feel
And I can't tell if any of this is real

(Bridge 1)
I'm pulling left
And I'm pulling right.
Oh, please come back
Before these chains hold tight.

(Bridge 2)
You are the key
To my light
I'm begging you to end
The sweetest dreams of night.

(Order goes: Verse 1, Verse 1, Chorus, Chorus, Verse 2, Chorus, Chorus, Verse 1, Chorus, Chorus, Chorus, Chorus, Bridge, Bridge, Bridge 2)
That one looks like a bunch of repeating, but we have a lot of musical breaks.

Fade

I've always watched you
From afar
I've seen you fall
I've seen you laugh
I've seen you cry
And I've seen you crash.

And now you're wishing to fade
Fade, Fade away
While I can't stand to see
You in this misery
I can't let you go
No

I'll always support you
No matter what road you choose
It was fate that we became who we are
And destined for our paths to cross
Perhaps it wasn't the ideal way
But through certain eyes
It was a fair trade

And yet you're still wishing
Wishing to fade, fade away
And you walk for miles
Through these painful trials
Yet I can't imagine a 'me' without a 'you'
Each word I say; so true

You've given me a purpose
You've never done me wrong
You've given me a purpose here
A reason to go on

You've got me begging
Don't fade, Don't fade away
You've killed this darkness
And brought the light of day

Don't fade...
Don't fade away...

Don't fade...
I'm begging you...
Stay...

This was basically a conversation that me and a friend had, and I found it amazing, so I wrote this song.
...Honestly, all my songs are experiences or conversations I had. They all tell a story, deep down.

Accidental Love
It wasn't meant to be
I have to convince myself
Just a 'spur-of-the-moment'
That's what I want it to mean

Yet you fell from the heavens
And straight into my hold
The sensation I felt was so new
It could never grow old

It was accidental
This accidental love
You crashed so harshly
From falling from high above
So I label what I felt
As "Accidental Love"

I watched you heal over time
And as you did, so did I
My feelings have changed
Or so I'll say
But my mind still wanders
And it asks why

It was accidental
This accidental love
You crashed so harshly
From falling high above
So I label what I felt
As "Accidental Love"

I'm close enough to wipe your tears
For when you need to cry
And I'm always here
To fight your silly fears

While I stay close
I must also stay away
My heart my betray me
And my emotions might say

Towards this accident
This accidental love
You crashed so harshly
From falling from high above
So I forcefully label this
"Accidental Love"

I wrote this one to a truth box thing on myspace that I got. "I fell in love with you by accident".
I know who said it an all, but he tells me a lot that he loves me, and that he wishes he told me sooner.
This one is just my idea of how he felt. Not positive, though.

Twilight Song

(Chorus)
We're living in the Twilight of today
Still watching out for tomorrow
I'll be stealing your heart away
But you'll live without a sorrow

(Verse)
This world isn't what it seems
There's mythical creatures
Its a world of make-believe

(Brigde?)
Just close your eyes
Enjoy the ride
Just keep on breathing
We'll all be fine

(Verse)
How was I supposed to know
Such creatures were alive?
You loathed me at first
Now you can't leave my side

(Bridge)
My skin, so warm
You skin is ice
I was scared to confess
But your trust is so nice

(Quick bridge?)
I dream about
Being with you
Forever...

I wrote this when I saw the Twilight poem that Eyren-nee-chan wrote.
Its supposed to be a duet between a girl and boy.
Any Twilight fans want to guess who sings what?
Here's a hint: The chorus is sung by both. XD

Black and Gray

(Chorus)
Black and Gray just makes my day
They're the colors of the words you say
And if repetition is your weapon
Then keep it comin'. Keep it comin'.
It'll never get old.

(Verse)
You're trapped in a bleak world
Where history never fails to repeat
And you wish to go back
Back to the past
To a time of me and you

(Bridge?)
Well, I've made those regrets
I'm not traveling down that same path
Yeah, I've made those regrets
And I'm not letting history have a chance to come back

(?)
I'm trying to move on
You're pulling me back
I want the future
You long the past

(?)
You're reaching out for me;
Fingers spread wide
You're reaching out for me
But the choice is now mine

(?)
I really long for the older days
Where truth and honesty had its ways
Yet I've now come to realize
I can't let history repeat this time

I wrote this one as a way to convince myself to say "NO." to this guy who decided to talk to me about two days ago.
He was a real a*****e to me, so I wrote this to remind myself "Yeah. He did this to you, and history likes to repeat, so just end it now."
I talk to him a little.
Not much, though.

So, yeah.
That's all my songs, as of now.




Here's a funny one for the road, though.

"If I had a hammer,
I'd build a house for two.
And if I had a sailing ship,
I'd take a trip with you.
And if I had a poet's hand,
I'd write a verse for thee.
And if I had the painter's touch,
On canvas, you would be.
But I don't have a hammer.
And I don't have a ship.
So I can't build a house.
And we can't take a trip.
And I'll never be a poet,
Nor have the painter's grace,
So I'll never write your verse,
Nor immortalize your face.
...And also, I have herpes."
Just gotta love Stephen Lynch. Seriously. XD

You're a really good song writer.
