dreaming someone else's dream
Right then... some of these are U2/Bono inspired, others aren't. Just random shite I've written. I warn you, I'm no poet, though I wish I was :p


Raindrops

Sometimes, when I lose my sight
I feel the cold embrace of the night
And I just want it all to end
Yeah, I just want it all to end

But then I hear your song
And I realize I was wrong
I should continue on
Yeah, gotta continue on


When I?ve almost wasted away
Your voice shatters the gray
And for once I feel
I feel alive
You make me feel alive


Sometimes, I lose all will to live
Don?t think I have anything to give
And I can?t feel anything
No, I can?t feel anything

But even in the darkest hour
When life seems too sour
You give me hope
Yeah, you give me hope


When I?ve almost wasted away
Your voice shatters the gray
And for once I feel
I feel alive
You make me feel alive


And in my self-pity and pain
I no longer fight the pouring rain
Drenched and shivering I can finally smile
Something I haven?t done for awhile
The taste is bittersweet, but
I like it that way


You don?t know me; hell, I don?t know you
But that doesn?t matter ?cause
You make me feel alive
For once I feel alive
I feel alive


And as the light pierces through
I can feel what I never knew
I can finally see the rainbow


The Fall

Sometimes I feel like nothing is real
It's just all a dream
That's the way I want to feel
But most often I feel sorry
Sorry for myself.

Sometimes I don't want to even try
Tired of nightmares
I'd rather just lay down and die
But even though I want it
I can't.

You kill me
You keep me alive
I'm never free
I'm barely hanging on the ledge
Can you pull me up
Or will you push me off the edge?

And I know that nobody knows
If life is just a ride
And if so, where the ride goes
If the destination is even
Even reachable.

So what if I suddenly stand and
Walk out the backdoor
Lose my balance, lose the sand
In the wind
Your wind.

You kill me
You keep me alive
I'm never free
I'm barely hanging on the ledge
Can you pull me up
Or will you push me off the edge?

And if I let go, will you catch me?
I can feel myself slipping.
Our hands are too sweaty
You can't hold on much
Much longer.

Everything is because of you
The life I have and
The pain I put myself through
Tell me now, would you die
Die for me...
As I would for you.

You kill me and you keep me alive
Finally free I leap off the edge
Was it all something you contrived
Or did I jump off the ride
On my own?

I am what you are
I am what you'll be
I'm not what you are
And you'll never be me
Was the fall worth it?

The Beautiful and the Obscene

In this state of mind
Perhaps I can find
The answers to questions I've asked for so long.
A different sort of numb
Thrown in with some
Ideas never pondered by anyone but ourselves.

The beautiful and the obscene
What does it all mean?

My eyes slowly close
And I begin to doze
But my head is busy solving itself.
Go beyond the surface
And try to find the purpose
Behind all of this insanity.

The beautiful and the obscene
What does it all mean?
The beautiful and the obscene
What does it all mean?

I don't want to stay
Feeling myself slip away.
They all want me to stay
I just want to slip away.
This is my only comfort.
Tired of excess effort.
Just drift away, slip away
Hope I won't be lead astray.
And then maybe the answers will find me
And the rest of humanity.

The beautiful and the obscene
What does it all mean?
Such a lovely scene
Everything is blue and green
Nothing to extreme
Life is but a dream
So what does it all mean?

Sour Eggs

Pearl scratches and muddy touch
Hurt yourself a little too much
His fault, my fault, who to blame
When everything changes to stay the same?

Take a piss and blood shower
Eat whole the egg gone sour
When all that you are is fake
What is there for me to take?

Stuck in a downward spiral
Give me an emotional opiate.

Never happy never sane never dying never the same
Here we go again.

Reveling in the world?s holy sin
The antithesis will strike again
Give all you don?t have away
When you have nothing and everything to pay

He sees I see we all see no one sees you fade
And in the end we?re all betrayed.

Give me an emotional opiate.

And let me make the gash deeper still
Against my own screaming will
It is now my duty to drain you
And destroy myself too

Because I?m bleeding inside
And I?m sick of life?s twisted ride
I love you and hate you and heal you and kill you
Every time you smile.

Stuck on a downward spiral
Give me an emotional opiate
In the end we?re all betrayed.

In the Trash

Everything is different, what a pain
You're so confused, going insane
I weep for you.

Inter-changing
Suffocating
Germinating
Your words stick.

Pop is punk
The pure are drunk
On death.

Analyzing
Realizing
Compromising
Or not.
Still they stick.

Dismiss this trash
Throw it away for cash
Yeah, that's where it's at.
What's the point?

Reminiscing
Contradicting
Full of feeling
How your words stick.

Scream em shout em
Trust em doubt em
Kill em feel em
Hear em steal em
These words do stick.

Everything is different, what a pain
You're so confused, going insane
I weep for you.

Everything you swore you'd never be
You are.
Everything you thought you'd never see
You can.
Good or bad
Happy or sad
These childish rhymes
Are so inspiring.

How pitiful.

And still these words stick.

Invincible

Well I've come here to
Give this caution to you
Invincible

You think this world is for you to take
But soon all the ideals you have will break
So I'll warn you now for your sake

Manufactured wings will surely fail
All your effort to no avail
Your grip is loosening on the rail

Oh crystal eyes do lie
Your soul aching to defy
Invincible
I don't think so

I came here to
Give a gift to you

Invincible, invincible
Irresistible to me
Unconceivable
Yet undeniable
Are you invincible?
I don't know
I don't think so

If You Are The Sun

It hurts
When I look into your eyes
It hurts
And I guess it's no surprise
The pain keeps me alive.

It hurts
Hearing your voice sing
It hurts
Watching your angel wings
Why are you everything?

I reach out
To touch you
I speak out
To know you
I fake it
To live through
I break it
To see through
Life's many clouds

It hurts
Seeing your perfect creed
It hurts
Watching all your good deeds
Makes me wanna bleed.

It hurts
Seeing you so far away
It hurts
Seeing you so close today
Too bad you'll never stay.

I reach out
To touch you
I speak out
To know you
I fake it
To live through
I break it
To see through
Life's many clouds

It hurts
Just to think of you
It hurts
And there's not much I can do
But live through this too.

I reach out to touch you
But you're just out of reach
I speak out to know you
But your words I can't teach
I fake it to live through
The constant strain
I break it to see through
The blinding pain.

My heart hurts watching you
The pull on my chest will not subdue
Life is a rain cloud, and you are the sun
Then, why are love and blood forever one?
