Your Heart in a Jar

 

sometimes i feel you slipping away

away from my hands

i know you'l disapear from me one day

no one but me understands

but i can keep a part of you

the part that left me with a permanent scar

i can keep your heart in a glass jar

 

you always said i'm crazy

you tried to lock me up

well now we'll see who's laughing last

we'll see who's mind's corrupt.

 

i will keep your heart in a glass jar

and store it on my shelf,

and when i'll look at it i'll remember what a ***** you are

and be glad that i'm alone with myself

 

this is my revenge

for all the times you pained my heart

you can say that i'm deranged

it will nevermore tear me apart.

so now your heart belongs to me

i can do with it as i please

but i wont torment it the way you did

just use it to bring you to your knees.

 

you always said i'm crazy

you tried to lock me up

well now we'll see who's laughing last

we'll see who's mind's corrupt.

 

i will keep your heart in a glass jar

and store it on my shelf,

and when i'll look at it i'll remember what a ***** you are

and be glad that i'm alone with myself,

i'm forever alone with myself.

Teenage Crisis

 

 

You grownups think it’s so easy for us

You’ve forgot about all the stress, the mess

That us teens need to go through to achieve success

Nevertheless,

You have to understand

Were at the prime of out lives

And were waisting it on a moment that never arrives

You give us responsibility

You take away our freedom

You trust on our ability

But we always disappoint you.

 

We don’t have a moment of rest

House-work, jobs and school tests,

And when we finally have a moment of peace

You remind us of how perfect you used to be. (Oh please!)

It’s the time we discover love

Its the time were young and have the power to live!

But you make us stay home and study, were so sick of this!

 

"You need to graduate

To get a good job,

If you don’t study all day,

You’ll turn out to be a slob"

Who cares?!

Let us live!

We’ll achieve what we can achieve

But in the time be,

Let us live

Let us live

Oh let us live

I WANT TO LIVE!!

Shredded (family) Tree

 

they keep asking me questions

questions i dont want to answer

they ask me about my family

i dont like talking about my family

its not my fault i come from a broken home...

stop investigating me!

i said i dont like to talk about it!

STOP IT!!!!

 

So what? you think your better?

cause you got a 2 parents and a perfect home?

what, you think i'm a freak now?

cause i live with my mom, and my dad lives alone?

what, does that make me a weirdo?

cause i have to visit my dad and step sis' every week?

what, you feel sorry for me now?

well i dont need your pitty, SHOVE IT, you dick!

 

i dont want to talk about it!

i said stop, i said quit it, so stop it so quit!

why do you have to make a big deal out of it?

i was born, i was raised

i turned out a bit crazed

its not a big issue

dont hand me your tissues,

just accept me as a person

is all i want!

just accept me as a person

is all i want!

 

so what? you think i'm not normal?

cause my life is not as glamourous as yours is?

what, you want to ignore me?

cause my dads proffesion isnt as good as your dads biz?

what, now you have different opinions bout me?

cause i dont have anyone wo take care of me when i'm sick?

what, you feel sorry for me now?

well i dont need your pitty, SHOVE IT, you dick!

 

i dont want to talk about it!

i said stop, i said quit it, so stop it so quit!

why do you have to make a big deal out of it?

i was born, i was raised

i turned out a bit crazed

its not a big issue

dont hand me your tissues,

just accept me as a person

is all i want!

just accept me as a person

is all i want!

JUST ACCEPT ME AS A PERSON IS ALL I WANT!!

heres another one i just wrote:

 

 

 

Speechless thoughts

 

 

Life confused me today

Left me with a blank stare and disarray.

Left me on a one way street

I’ve never felt so incomplete.

I want someone to go into my head

Someone to explore my thoughts

Cause right now I feel my mind is dead.

I’ve battled with my brain, I really fought

But i can’t understand my own mind

It’s hard to say what I’m meaning to say

I need to relax, to let go, to unwind,

I feel a good brain is waisting away...

 

I know something that no one else does

I know the meaning of life

But i can never share my knowledge because

Its so complex i can’t put into words.

 

Its so frustrating to cant say what’s on your mind

The words i try but can not find.

I have to unload and share this with some one

Some one who will understand and wont make fun

Of me, i can’t take this pressure any longer

The pressure is just getting stronger!

I can’t take it any longer!

The pressure is just getting stronger!

 

I know something that no one else does

I know the meaning of life

But i can never share my knowledge because

Its so complex i can’t put into words.

 

I’m sure you know something to

Something that is bigger than you

And you can’t really explain it

And you really need to share it...

 

You can share it in many ways…

But not communication…

Yeah, and my band can't practice until the new school year because our lead guitarist broke his collarbone, and the other guitarist pulled out to work on his own band, Pyrotechnic Llama...

I'm not sure why I'm calling it my band...I'm not even in it :D Ah, well.

so what, all the popular bands dont even write their own songs, so ur special..

 

I totally agree with that... there are so many bands/groups that don't right their own lyrics and then say that they put so much into the music and that it reflects where they are in their lives but really its someone elses.

 

the 1st one? thats the one i like the least...it didnt came from the heart.

 

its still a great song.. diffent compared to a lot of the stuff you hear today. The other two are great aswell, I can relate to them, which makes a song really stand out... i'd love to hear what they sound like.

Do you only write the lyrics (I do), or do you compose music too? Is there music to those lyrics?

 

I only write lyrics, but I hand them over to my brother. I can see you’re a grunge/punk kind of guy. I’m more of a Dream Theater/Transatlantic/Spock’s Beard kind of guy. Those are my favourite bands (for the moment).

 

Here’s one I wrote…

 

 

 

Myself Again

 

Verse1

I wake up in the middle of the night

Standing in my room, with myself to the right

At last I see where I am going to

But I don’t want to go, must be something I can do

 

Verse2

All this time I never cared to really see

Everything I needed is right in front of me

“If I could make it, I would do it right away”

Those are the memories of the words of yesterday

 

Chorus

Everything I longed for

Everything I used to need

Has become an offer

To the beast I used to feed

Now times are changing

I have water in my veins

Now all I long for

Is to be myself again

 

Verse3

Today’s the day when I take my final step

Out of the vision of a path my father set

I’m giving up the illusion that is me

This is the day when I finally break free

 

Verse4

As for the past, I’ve been play for too long

It wasn’t me that made it all go wrong

But now I understand, my life was just a scene

I’ve lived my nightmare, instead of living out my dream

 

Bridge

I’ve been used now I’m bruised

I’ve become but now I’m gone

Can’t accept it, can’t regret it

This is everything I am

I refuse to let this through I must make my final stand

 

Bridge out

Disturbance ended that day

My other me has flown away

Agony has left, dissappeard into the past

I’ve become myself again, at last
