Default DiSTANToblivion - Songs and Poems

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

Default poem...

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

Default poem...

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

Default song...

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...

Default song...

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)

Default song...

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

Hi DiSTANToblivion,

I find songs about faith issues interesting, and so would like to learn what "the fixtures fading (fell in black)" and "the figures leaving (call them back)" mean. I understand the basic idea of the song as being that the singer feels the woman who believes in god is wrong...but perhaps the singer feels the woman is losing her faith and can't help her? I can't tell the viewpoints of the singer, but would like to. Also, what is it that the singer "can't believe ... is happening?"

I like the line, "You've got a Pure Faith in the Unknown" because that, for me, summarizes what religion is...except that those who are religious feel the "unknown" is known.

I'm confused by all the different time references. You make frequent references to time in the song, so I know it must be important, but I'm not sure why:

Quote:

Dear Lord, Dear Lord
Looking at all your songs and poems together, I feel they deal with serious, weighty personal issues. They feel very troubled.

This mist, the fever and its embrace,
mind easing in its calm retrace
This tale lies
Woven within, seeping through,
it begins…
It ends with you

This mist, a comfort now replaced
Dismiss,
to enter this saving grace
Your dream, the story unfolds


^^^ wish i could finish this.
