The other thread I had got deleted so I'm going to be posting all of my songs and poems again. Hopefully things will be neater this time :P:
So, here we go again...

(a poem)

The Rose Of May

May rests her emerald eyes
for a moment in time
They open slowly as she weeps
Softly, her silent sadness seeps
into her heart and into her soul
This emotion she can no longer control

May lies upon a cold floor
as she dreams…
Pale snow white skin and a frost filling the air
A single red rose nestled within her hand,
it’s colour bleeds crimson across the white
It’s colour burns
long into her night

May awakens from her dreamscape
For a moment in time,
to questions without an clue
Buried deep and building into blue
into her thoughts and into her mind
These dreams that always leave her blind

May clutches her red rose,
tightly pressed against her naked stomach
Scared…
One red rose continues to bleed there
May feels no comfort as she bears the pain
May feels nothing more,
not the cold frost or the burning flame

Solitary

I sit uncompromising and jaded
Seeking company,
a way to fight this loneliness
Only to see those I told,
I hated
Waiting for someone…
Someone to fill the vacant space beside me

Move my fingers along
and across the empty seat
sitting here for too long…
and I am turning to stone
In my defeat
This sole, lonely need,
has overtaken me

If only I could turn to see
I cannot move at all
Someone sits next to me
As they cry out their soul

They want company
They need somebody
a way to fight this loneliness
All I can do is listen,
as lonely as they are, as long as the stone man sits
As long as they can bear it
They just need someone to listen

The Further The Distance

He walks alone at night, through the cold
He is unstable
The street sign in disguise and the road reflects
He takes it all tonight, unwillingly
He is unstable tonight

The signs point to him and aim
Still, this night remains
He sleeps on damp ground, he drinks
to silence the sound,
to drown the voices,
to end it all tonight..

He wakes alone today, mourning still cold
and he is still grey
He left it all last night
Serenity sold,
he was nameless last night

He walks
In the morning glow, he walks…
to forget his father,
to stop his words
To escape forever...

Now he runs,
from the past, he runs…
to live for a future,
to start anew
Into a new day
Into a new light

Bridging The Gapless Mind

- INTRO -
You drain me
of all that I have learnt
and I
am burning in silence
So take me away...

Same old
tired excuses
So sick, of being like this
Same words
you will always speak them
So take me away...

- VERSE 1 -
Away...
I walk, astray
(Away)
I start today...
In peace I feel the pain
In love I feel the strain
and I know this feeling
now I know this feeling

- CHORUS 1 -
All that You have done
All that You will do
All of this anger, built from inside you
All of these pages
From which you taught me
Are all of the pages
That will now haunt me

- VERSE 2 -
Insane...
I slip away
(Insane)
I've fallen today...
No cover from all this rain
No shelter from all it stains
and I know this meaning
now I know the meaning...

- CHORUS 1 -

- CHORUS 2 -
All that You have done
All that You will do
All of this anger
I'm the voice inside you
All of these pages
That will now haunt me
Are all of the pages
That have been brought to me

- BRIDGE -
I'm lost...
I don't know
who I am

I've drained me
of all that I have learnt
and I
have been burnt in silence
So tired
of making excuses
Same words
and different meanings
still speaking, these words
These words...

- CHORUS 3 - (x3)
All that you have done
All that you will do
All of this anger
I'm the voice inside you
All of these pages
(torn from under)
That will now haunt me
Are all of the pages
(torn asunder)
That have been brought to me

- OUTRO -
...and I'm lost now
far from who I was
and I
never lived a moment
So tired
of all the excuses
The same words
with different meanings
still speaking, these words
These words...

Pure Faith

- INTRO -
The Fixtures
Painted... (pained with black)
The Figures
Moving... (turned your back)

- VERSE 1 -
You've got a 'Pure Faith'
in the unknown
I'd like to tell you, but you don't know
You're losing what (you make-believe...)
I'd like to show you, but you wont see

- CHORUS 1 -
Yesterday
called again tomorrow...
too long, too long
You hold your head and pray to...
your God, your God
and damn you for believing...
it's wrong, it's wrong
So don't hold their hand and say...
Dear Lord
Dear Lord

- VERSE 2 -
So about this... (Pure Faith in the Unknown)
There's no miracle... (now I've been told)
I'll tell you
You wont see
This can't be happening...
Right in front of me...

- CHORUS 2 -
Yesterday
called again tomorrow...
too long, too long
You hold your head and pray to...
your God, your God
and damn you for believing...
it's wrong, it's wrong
So don't hold their hand and say...
Dear Lord
Dear Lord...

Yesterday
called again tomorrow... Today
Too Late... To hold His hand and say
Dear Lord, Dear Lord
Damn you for believing... anymore
Damn you for believing... anymore
So don't hold my hand and say...
You're God...
You're God...
(my God..)

- BRIDGE -
(my God... my God...)
What are we doing?
Where are we going?
Things we keep saying
We aren't knowing

My God
My God...
Where are you going?
What are you doing?
Things you're saying
I never hear you anymore...
...anymore

- CHORUS 2 -

- VERSE 3 / OUTRO -
You've got a Pure Faith in the Unknown
I'd like to show you but you now know
I wont tell you what you now see...

The Fixtures
Fading... (fell in black)
The Figures
Leaving... (call them back)

Awake Without Sleep

- VERSE 1 -
Wake up blind, born again deaf
Yet you see the signs
and hear those names
Will you ever find
The truth and what it is?
An alibi…
fit for your mistakes

Your pathway crossed
upon this broken home
Of hollow hearts
and empty beds
This cold dark room
It stains your mind
and all that’s left…
Is left behind

Now it’s turning over again
Now it’s turning over again
It’s turning over again…

- CHORUS 1 -
and you cant breathe now
They’re pulling the curtain closed
It’s the last time, the final call to rise…
This is the last time
they place this pain within your eyes

You can’t breathe now
They’re leaving this open door
It’s the last time, the final call to rise…
This is the last time
they live their life inside your mind

- VERSE 2 -
Wake up lost, left again dead
now you fear the signs
and scream those names
Will you ever stop
and think for once and all
Or will your thoughts
be never yours?

Now it’s turning over again
Now it’s turning over again
It’s turning over again…

- CHORUS 1 -

- BRIDGE -
What is turning you away?
Now you’re turning over again…
What is turning you away?
Now you’re turning over again…

What is turning you away?
Now you’re turning over again…
What is turning you away?
Now you’re turning over again…
It’s turning over again…

- CHORUS 2 - (x2)
and you feel free now
You’ve torn the curtain down
It’s the last time, the final call to rise…
This is the last time
they place this pain within your eyes

You feel free now
You’re walking through the open door
It’s the last time, the final call to rise…
This is the last time
they live their life inside your mind

Looking Through

This mask covers, cold
Upon the skin it rests, frozen
and I see through it,
as your words bleed upon it
This is my protection
But it’s not who I am

I see your face, afar
Pulling away from my hands
I look into your eyes…
As your silence means so much
Now my mask turns to ash
and this persona with it

I fear the revelation
As this lay bare, with intention
I look into your eyes…
As you’re still so silent now
Can I see myself as you do,
without this mask I have lived through?

Discuss & Disassemble

- VERSE 1 -
The day goes by, the TV on
The daily flicker and then
the day is gone...
The past replays, the life before
The future dims and then
the past ignored...

- CHORUS 1 -
His futile efforts in vain…
can't erase
or kill the shame
His decision to clear his name…
can't cover
or shape the blame

- VERSE 2 -
The night falls now, the TV off
The nightly silence and then
the night is lost...
The time decays, the man before
The timely quiet and then
the time restored...

- CHORUS 1 - (x2)
His futile efforts in vain…
can't erase
or kill the shame
His decision to clear his name…
can't cover
or shape the blame

- BRIDGE -
He has lived with this now
seems like forever…
He needs someone, somehow
(seems like forever)
Disassemble…
to start again

He has lived with this now
seems like forever…
He needs someone, somehow
(seems like forever)
Disassemble…
to start again
Discuss his life again

- CHORUS 2 - (x2)
His futile…
efforts in vain
can't erase
or kill the shame
His decision…
to clear his name
can't cover
or shape the blame

- VERSE 3 -
The future is here
The time has come
The past fades, and now
the man won't run...

- CHORUS 3 - (x3)
His futile efforts in vain
(discuss this now...)
can't erase, or kill the shame
His decision to clear his name
(disassemble and start again...)
can't cover, or shape the blame

Okay so it's been a while but I have some new finished lyrics, hope you like them...

Burning Bridge

- VERSE 1 -
Smoke filling the air, as this burning bridge remains
The barren shore beckoning
Calling upon your restless reckoning
no communication, no communication

Your eyes can’t look back now
Your voice echoes a silence
You long for the beginning again
but you speak with such violence

- CHORUS - (x2)
Think past
All those days
No going back now
What you’ve done
Has been done, never to be the same

- VERSE 2 -
Step into the river, into the dirty water
Swimming against the argument
The lonely distant shore (disappear)
Triggering your innermost fear
no communication, no communication

The smoke now clouds the skyline
Your eyes can’t see the shore
Your voice speaks a silent whisper
and you can’t bear it anymore

- CHORUS - (x2)

- VERSE 3 / OUTRO -
The bridge burns
Brighter still
Collapsing into the water
You lay upon your riverside
As the smoke clears
You see no shoreline
(As the smoke clears)
You see no shoreline
(As the smoke clears)
in your mind,
your burning bridge remains…

Truth

I want you to tell me a lie and tell me I'm fine,
that I'm happy with myself and I'm alright
I can't take the truth
It has a hold on me
I don't want the truth
Lie be told to me…

“I need you to tell me to smile
and feel something new
Not this hollow heart
and not without you”

But you won’t lie to me
or tell me I’m fine
I’m not happy with myself
and I’m not alright
To hear your words,
the truth must be spoken…

“I wish you could smile,
feel something new
Forget this hollow heart
I am here for you”
