No Regrets

[Bonochick]

Dead end roads with no signs of warning
Too scared of myself to face the morning
Empty bed crashing through the floor
I guess my heart is heavier than it was before

The exposing day drags on so slowly
Brushing my skin with things that seem holy
But I can see the shadows that they cast
Reflections of hypocrisy from my past

The sun shuts down, and I can do no wrong
Nighttime arrives, and the moon tags along
Empty echoes of love through my telephone
Being grasped by hands but still feeling alone

I?m sick of telling old stories in bars
I?m sick of bumping my head on the stars
I watch the ashes dance from your cigarettes
And contemplate the meaning of ?no regrets?

 

[HandMeDown]

this is beautiful. It stirs up many things in me...likely too much to go into. I love the line "Nighttime arrives, and the moon tags along" that brought such a vivid mental picture to my mind. I love how you paint with words.

 

[HeadsOnSticks]

It's a dark and empty room
The sun beating hard on your door
I feel emotion roar within you
You're flesh and blood like anyone

Make some sense of your life
Move your hand and make the mark
I don't know why you're so confused
You're flesh and blood, there's no excuse

And the hunger inside
Won't go away, it's starting to rise
And the longer you hide
The more you deny
And the sea rushes in

The wind is howling at your back
The past is always overturned
It's a dead man who would refuse
And twice the man to fill his shoes

And the hunger inside
Won't go away, it's starting to rise
And the longer you hide
The more you deny
And the hunger inside
It won't go away, it's starting to rise
And the sea rushes in
Into my world

I can feel a king tide coming
All my senses overflowing
One of them waiting out the back
Horns blowing, cymbals crash
So paint a circle in the sky
I was reckless in the arms of love
There's a bruise on my back
And a new understanding too

 

[HandMeDown]

I was reckless in the arms of love
There's a bruise on my back
And a new understanding too


I loved the entire piece, it's beautiful. But these lines....they are the ones that made me shed a tear.
