Is there any way to change the title of my thread? I want to change it to "sljslj's songs" or something like that.

...TO ASTOUND

We are wanderers.
Not lost, but never to be found.
With the intention to thrive and astound.
We are ponderers.
Challenging everything.
Questioning all opposition.
We are vampires.
Knowledge is our blood.
We catalyze an observational flood. **
We are warriors
Traveling through snow and sand.
Ammunition always near at hand.
With the intention to understand and*astound.

Wanderers.
With no destination.
Ponderers.
Hungering for information.
Vampires.
Fueled by the life of others.
Warriors.
With murderous intent.
Bleeding for the oppurtunity to astound.

We are all that strives to exist.
We are every oppurtunity that's ever been missed.
We are every being who has ever set out with the intention to astound.

Would this be Metal? I could just imagine What it would sound like, not bad!

Thanks for checking it out. I'm not sure if I meant it to be metal, as it's a bit different than my other stuff. I think it has potential to make a brutal metal track though.

I've been trying to articulate this one for a few days now with zero success. Every time I attempted to write it, it just wouldn't come out right. It's still in need of some a few adjustments, but it's finished in the sense that I've said what I needed to say. Check it out and please reply.

HURTS LIKE NOTHING

You just walk by without a second glance.
I guess you've no belief in a second chance.
There*is no more ground between me and you.
Only water under a broken bridge.
I'll have to sink way, way down before I decide to swim.

Harsh words hit me like a ****in semi.
And your eyes can set a fire inside.
But you simply ignore me and I know,
Nothing hurts like nothing.

You've*made*me*a*satellite*without*a*course.
You*are*my*star*and*I*need*your*gravity.
Even*if*your not willing to share your heat.
But I*don't see it ever happening,
For you, admittance of your faults would be an amazing feat.

Harsh words hit me like a ****in semi
And your eyes can set a set a fire inside.
But you simply ignore me and I know,
Nothing hurts like nothing.

KEEPIN' ME DOWN AGAIN.

Perseverance.
Perseverance is not a matter of choice.
Some are set to fail, derail.
Others just sail, oh so smoothly.
I am in league with the former.
Doomed to walk inches behind forever.

Lost intentions pave the surface.
A car nearly finds it's way, then reverses.
Situation almost resolved when it worsens.
These curses keeping me down again.

Interference.
Finding interference in every ****ing thing I do.
Try to start anew, but I'm still nailed down by the old.
My skull begins to break and I continue to fold.
The lights dim and it becomes cold.

Lost intentions pave the surface.
A car nearly finds it's way, then reverses.
Situation almost resolved when it worsens.
Unforeseen forces keeping me down again.

Assurance.
I need assurance so I may stand upon solid ground.
Days long gone stalk me like a starving hound.
Turns my life into a viscious game of hide and seek.
Might the tables turn, I'll be waiting.
Tired, but never weak.

I will persevere.
None will interfere.
I am more than assured.
To go down like this is absurd

Lost intentions pave the surface.
A car nearly finds it's way, then reverses.
Situation almost resolved when it worsens.
I will not be kept down again.
Keeping me down.
Keeping me down.
No more.

This is one I wrote back in '07. I recently rediscovered and finished (although it was basically done when I found it) it. Check it out and feedback is always welcome.

LIFE WASTED IN NEVADA

Snake eyes stare straight through your face
You find yourself relying on a single spaded ace.

Life wasted in Nevada.
Falling till you shatter.
You were born here,
Right into a loaded gun.
Now you die here,
Cause you always hit on 21.

For thousndth time, you go all in.
But in this table, the dealer always wins.
Like vampires, they feed on your affliction.
And gamble on your addictions.

Life wasted in Nevada.
Fall from the top of the ladder.
You were born here,
Right into a loaded gun.
You will die here,
Cause you always hit on 21.

You will die, right along with me, right here in Nevada.
Now face this, your life wasted.
Traded for a six word epitaph.
Life wasted right here in Nevada.
Life wasted right here in Nevada.
Life wasted right here in Nevada.

TEMPTATION'S SMILE

Vicariously living through the reaper.
Pain is my gain, self-control becomes weaker.
Uphill battle, steeper and steeper.
Gimme the knife, make the wounds deeper.

Haunting me.
Temptation's smile.
Taunting me.
Temptation's smile.
All the while, the dealers sneaking like thieves.
And after the substance is gone, hate is all it leaves.

I am one in a million, one of a million.
Another fish in the sea, yet every time they choose me.
Crafting my addictions to make them what they need.
Come, beasts of temptation, it's time to feed.

Haunting me.
Temptation's smile.
Taunting me.
Temptation's smile.
All the while, my body makes my brain believe...
That the substance is part of me, yet pain is all it leaves.

Haunting me.
The ****'s taunting me.
I'm falling apart.
For the chemical, the organic, the liquid, the anything.
Anything to make reality go away.

Temptation's smile.
All the while, walk a mile to get a seconds high.
Temptation's smile.
Got me crying like a child, I know it's not my style.
But temptation changes me.

THEFT

Stolen diction.
Frivolous friction.
This affliction.
Nothing is my own.

Art is theft.
Creation is manipulation.
I demand inspiration.
Art is theft.

Is it my duty?
Makin' beauty.
For a pirates booty.
Nothing is my own.

Art is theft.
Creation is manipulation.
I demand inspiration.
Art is theft.

Nothing is mine.
My words belong to you.
Nothing is yours.
Your words belong to me.
Art is theft.
Theft.
