A place for my lyrics.

[Thesumbum]

“Anger and Frustration”

Anger and frustration seem to be my only sense of truth
A madness deep within that doesn’t seem to go away
I’m tired of being a puppet, a pawn in your game of fiction
You’re only human just like me, like everyone else

Draining the ocean of hope and tradition
Taking lives that don’t belong to you
You’re the saint of the soulless, you can’t stand the hopeless
No one under your highest power even matters anyway

I’m so sick of all the people just like you
Our lives are about to be taken as the toll
All because you don’t care about anyone beyond yourself
You don’t care about the prayers to help the lower class

Draining the ocean of hope and tradition
Taking lives that don’t belong to you
You’re the saint of the soulless, you can’t stand the hopeless
No one under your highest power even matters anyway

A world buried in crimes committed by past generations
Along with the sins of a more powerful modern world
With all this knowledge comes destruction and confusion
Life’s all a part of someone’s mass delusion

Draining the ocean of hope and tradition
Taking lives that don’t belong to you
You’re the saint of the soulless, you can’t stand the hopeless
No one under your highest power even matters anyway

“You’re To Blame (I’m To Blame)”

The mindless are praying to the government
The hopeless are asking for help that will never come
We’re living in a fantasy with a truth that is lost
The end of your life is the beginning of another
But who’s going to comfort them when you die
It’s up to nobody because no one cares

No one wants to be here for you
Was anybody there for you
Do you know what you’ll do
Can you go through with this

It’s your own fault they pushed you down
You’re the one who led them to believe they wore the crown
Now you resent them, when you’re the one to blame
It’s you fault, it’s my fault for giving them the powder

Your conscience is no longer working for your brain
The people of this world left you dying in agony and pain
The money they waste on useless projects is like water going down the drain
If there was a solution today
Maybe all the hopelessly lost wouldn’t have to pay or die in vain

No one wants to be here for you
Was anybody there for you
Do you know what you’ll do
Can you go through with this

It’s your own fault they pushed you down
You’re the one who led them to believe they wore the crown
Now you resent them, when you’re the one to blame
It’s you fault, it’s my fault for giving them the powder

What’s killing us is now a part of this sick game
The ones who are to blame are you and me
Everybody gave in to the evil of the power hungry monster
We let it run our lives and ruin the youth of our nation
So please don’t come to me to solve your own problems

No one wants to be here for you
Was anybody there for you
Do you know what you’ll do
Can you go through with this

It’s your own fault they pushed you down
You’re the one who led them to believe they wore the crown
Now you resent them, when you’re the one to blame
It’s you fault, it’s my fault for giving them the powder

“Live To Inspire”

I look around at everything in sight
I realize I’ve said all that I can say
Now the day grows old and dark
The time is late, and retirement is here

I’m tired and worn down from the world around me
Now there’s nothing left to be said
This is just a goodbye to all those who care
Remember me words, remember me well

My words are buried cold with my thoughts
Years after my life, the words I once said are still around
Even though I do not make any true sound
I was a whisper in time, just a legacy left behind

I’m tired and worn down from the world around me
Now there’s nothing left to be said
This is just a goodbye to all those who care
Remember me words, remember me well

Just living life to inspire, keep my memory alive
I never know when I’m going to go
So I’m leaving my words all once said
To the people long after I’m gone

I’m tired and worn down from the world around me
Now there’s nothing left to be said
This is just a goodbye to all those who care
Remember me words, remember me well

“Is There Something Here”

I was all alone
It was a dark, cold night
In the corner I saw a light
I had no clue what it was, it gave me a fright

Things inside your head begin to come back from the dead
Your fears come back to life
You’re all alone and no one will comfort you
Anxiety keeps giving you something to do

There’s nobody that can hear you
There’s also nobody near you
But your fear gets the best of you
What are you going to do?

Things inside your head begin to come back from the dead
Your fears come back to life
You’re all alone and no one will comfort you
Anxiety keeps giving you something to do

The light soon disappears
You glance around the room
You know you are alone
But you just can’t help the feeling that something is there

Things inside your head begin to come back from the dead
Your fears come back to life
You’re all alone and no one will comfort you
Anxiety keeps giving you something to do

Sorry if you don't like my lack of optimism. This is just the stuff I've been writing lately. Usually I write more optimistic lyrics, sometimes the occasional love song, but my style has changed again. I've gone through a few stylistic changes in how I've written in the past two years. But I hope you enjoy it. I'll post more whenI get newer stuff, since I don't see the point in posting my older stuff. The reason I'm talking about my older stuff is because I'm a member of GDC (for those of you who don't know, it's Green Day Community) and I've got 10 pages, and many lyrics/poetry on there, not to mention the stuff I've got inmy notebooks from the past two years. Usually I write lyrics while I'm posting, and that's how I do it best. Once again, enjoy and have a great day.

[ReemFTW]

HOLY SHIT! fucking amazing. I'd NEVER come up with something like that!
your experience in writing really shows! it doesn't matter if it isn't optimistic, they're really good lyrics, thats the important bit.

[Thesumbum]

Thanks a lot, I'm glad you enjoyed it. I just came up with a new one.

“One Truth (They Won’t Accept)”

I’m stepping out of my position of opposition
The weight of all the hate seems to keep dragging me down
Considering the world’s problems gets heavier all the time
I might as well give up my right to live freely
But to give up the fight and all that I stand for would be a crime

I’m not ever learning from all of your mistakes
I’m just hurting from all that life’s put me through
Are these struggles good for me
Is there a purpose for all of this, a higher power

I’m questing my faith because I just don’t know
With all the bad times I’ve had to get hit by on the road to success
Although at times I’m pessimist I must confess one thing
I really get happier when I start to sing
So what do you ask I am complaining about

I’m not ever learning from all of your mistakes
I’m just hurting from all that life’s put me through
Are these struggles good for me
Is there a purpose for all of this, a higher power

It’s a world of infinite fallacies and false beliefs
But there is one true belief and a whole truth we don’t know
Some may believe it, in some they falsely show
I am only falling into a struggle to find the right words
As people become less accepting and more self-centered these days

I’m not ever learning from all of your mistakes
I’m just hurting from all that life’s put me through
Are these struggles good for me
Is there a purpose for all of this, a higher power

[ReemFTW]

wow that really made sense! i've never really read or heard asong about that subject, but it's awesome! keep it up!

[Thesumbum]

Thank you very much. I'm very glad you're enjoying it, and that it makes sense.

“Prison of Love”

I don’t care what most people have to say
But when I’m with you I feel so much different
Everything you say is important to me
Even if I don’t agree

My mind is just a prison, trapping me from you
I wish there was some way to be free
So I could tell you what I see
My love for you seems to be stopping me from being my best around you
But I know you don’t think I’m a fool

Every sound I hear makes me want you more
You remind me that I’m as important as everybody else
Maybe even more so to you
But your friends don’t like me one bit

My mind is just a prison, trapping me from you
I wish there was some way to be free
So I could tell you what I see
My love for you seems to be stopping me from being my best around you
But I know you don’t think I’m a fool

Normally I could think this situation right through
Clearly see how I could get to be with you
Bit I seem to be at a blank when I’m thinking this love is true
Just a song to vent my feelings about you

My mind is just a prison, trapping me from you
I wish there was some way to be free
So I could tell you what I see
My love for you seems to be stopping me from being my best around you
But I know you don’t think I’m a fool

[ReemFTW]

aww that one was sweet, it was really good! but not as powerful as the others
maybe it's just me that i'm not into love-ish songs, i dunno.

and why am I the only one reading your lyrics?!

[Thesumbum]

Thanks, I just had to do a love song, but my love for the girl I wrote about is fading away, it seems to be getting less and less everyday. I'm gonna post a new song.

“Days Like This”

Undecided on whether or not this nation’s divided
The leaders hold the power, yet have no control
Just another face, a puppet to their masters
Waiting one person at a time to cause unnatural disasters

It’s days like today that make me realize I can’t take the lies
There’s no more to be said on the subject of a government
Anarchy’s not a solution, but governments become corrupt
The classes teach the children to live exactly like them

I’m finding out more and more that we’re not so unique after all
We’re the same in a few ways, fighting for our causes
What makes a better world is what we need to answer
But how can there be an answer to a question with too much diversity

It’s days like today that make me realize I can’t take the lies
There’s no more to be said on the subject of a government
Anarchy’s not a solution, but governments become corrupt
The classes teach the children to live exactly like them

I’m helping you, you’re helping me, we’re hurting each other
No one can save us unless there’s a figure of power in the picture
Not power as in leader, but power as in the highest form thought of
Do we pray, do we ignore it, do we believe but not bow down to it

It’s days like today that make me realize I can’t take the lies
There’s no more to be said on the subject of a government
Anarchy’s not a solution, but governments become corrupt
The classes teach the children to live exactly like them

[ReemFTW]

wow. it's hard to be able to think of things like this, let alone actually write a song about them.
your songs don't rhyme, but they have this special rhythm to them which makes them perfect, even without music :D

[Thesumbum]

Thank you. Yeah, trying to rhyme in songs just for the sake of it isn't how you get something good written, if you rely on rhyming, your music can never be gold. I used to rhyme just because I thought it needed to rhyme, but I realized it made my lyrics less interesting to read.

“Your Own Time”

How obscene does this human scene seem to you
It’s leading the followers of the hidden agendas of mass murders
It seems to me that time will never stop, it is not a conscious being
But the reality of it is from the thing that we all follow with great significance

I’m an unattractive truth you can’t ever deny
If you do, I know you doubt the truth of my scientific significance
I’m not a number in an equation, I’m not just another statistic
I’m destined for something, it’s not just nothing at all

I wish the supply of time for me was an unlimited thing
But I don’t want to see all the chaos the far future brings
I’m happy to be a memory passed down for eternity
Life doesn’t work on anybody’s side, but underlying cause is greater than me

I’m an unattractive truth you can’t ever deny
If you do, I know you doubt the truth of my scientific significance
I’m not a number in an equation, I’m not just another statistic
I’m destined for something, it’s not just nothing at all

If your tired of my random rambling, than lucky for you, you don’t have to stay
You should live your life the way you want, not the way you’re told to do it
Don’t miscalculate all the random and dangerous possibilities there are
Don’t live too cautiously, don’t make false and safe assumptions (Don’t listen to me)

I’m an unattractive truth you can’t ever deny
If you do, I know you doubt the truth of my scientific significance
I’m not a number in an equation, I’m not just another statistic
I’m destined for something, it’s not just nothing at all

[Thesumbum]

“Not A Savior (Is The Such A Thing?)”

If you ever knew the truth you would try to rub it in my face
But I’m not the one who’s falling behind in this human race
You’re not a savior of anything, and you’ve never even won
One last day to get things straight, you screw it all up, you vent off your hate

I can’t help you if you’re not willing to be saved from self destruction
From your worthless whining comes a never ending false security
You’re life’s so much different from anyone in history
But that doesn’t make you unique, it makes you the same

I’m failing to accomplish my ultimate goals
Nobody knows whether I ultimately succeed in the end
We only know what has happened and what’s going on now
Somehow we falsely decode our findings in the world where we’re accomplished people

I can’t help you if you’re not willing to be saved from self destruction
From your worthless whining comes a never ending false security
You’re life’s so much different from anyone in history
But that doesn’t make you unique, it makes you the same

Goodbye to all of your frustrations in this endless situation
Our hesitation is the end of all days to come
Hope is what we pray for, hope is what we need
Can I believe in such a thing if never get an answer, can I have faith?

I can’t help you if you’re not willing to be saved from self destruction
From your worthless whining comes a never ending false security
You’re life’s so much different from anyone in history
But that doesn’t make you unique, it makes you the same

[Thesumbum]

“Don’t Spend Life Alone”

I’m dreaming of a day where I can meet a friendly face
On the streets in the world’s own backyard
I’ve only become a disgrace to all who walk along this empty street
I’m the last loser left standing, does that make me a winner

Sympathy in the cold is no closer than the end of the world
They say it’ll happen so soon, without caring for the “helplessly lost”
A group that hates individuality tells me I’m wasting my life for nothing
Telling me I’m going to burn eternally in the ice cold depths of the center of my grave

It’s a party for those who are aligned with the opposing truths
Yelling at the fading youth of a not so forgiving world
I wish there was a friend to help me fight the system that I find losing it’s goals
We all start out good, but we become shaped and molded into the world’s shadow of lies

Sympathy in the cold is no closer than the end of the world
They say it’ll happen so soon, without caring for the “helplessly lost”
A group that hates individuality tells me I’m wasting my life for nothing
Telling me I’m going to burn eternally in the ice cold depths of the center of my grave

I’m hoping that my final days aren’t spent living in my pointless ranting hate
I’m slipping into a hole that I just can’t escape from
I wish you could see the best in me, a sight for all the believers to see
I have dreams of a better world for the future, and an indisputable truth

Sympathy in the cold is no closer than the end of the world
They say it’ll happen so soon, without caring for the “helplessly lost”
A group that hates individuality tells me I’m wasting my life for nothing
Telling me I’m going to burn eternally in the ice cold depths of the center of my grave

[ReemFTW]

a m a z i n g.
you're gonna make it big one day =P!

[Max]

Dude. You're shitting out lyrics. Write some guitar for it and then record yourself singing it or something.

[Thesumbum]

Thanks.

“Meet Again”

Could it be that everything I know is just a big lie
Is there a meaning to anything and everything
What makes it seem so unlikely, yet so real
Am I the only one who thinks this way, or does anybody out there even care

I’ll be home if that’s where I’m truly supposed to be
I’m wandering off for now to find myself and my place in this life
I’ll be missing my past, but I’ll assure you I’ve got to find my own reason
We’ve got so little to build from, and from that amount comes so much

I’m still only young, finding myself longing to be at home again
But we’ve all got to find something to believe in, some sense of inspiration
This hesitation on your part is only keeping us from moving on
You can’t ignore what’s right in front of you, so let me get on my way

I’ll be home if that’s where I’m truly supposed to be
I’m wandering off for now to find myself and my place in this life
I’ll be missing my past, but I’ll assure you I’ve got to find my own reason
We’ve got so little to build from, and from that amount comes so much

You were a really good friend, I’m just not sure there’s much to offer right now
I’m off to defend myself, win my prize, and succeed in life
You should go your own way, fight your own battles
Soon enough we’ll meet again, who knows or even cares when

I’ll be home if that’s where I’m truly supposed to be
I’m wandering off for now to find myself and my place in this life
I’ll be missing my past, but I’ll assure you I’ve got to find my own reason
We’ve got so little to build from, and from that amount comes so much

[Neverwakeup]

sing it. record it.

[Thesumbum]

Thanks. I will once I have a way to record it. This next song is about an awkward transition from being immature and ignorant to growing up. I feel like I needed to write something about it because that's what I'm feeling right now. At times I feel like myself, other times I feel like I'm growing up too fast. This might not be the best I've done, but the message is just as meaningful, if not, even more so than the rest of them to me. Strange how the simplest of things can describe how some of us feel sometimes. Also, when I feel the pressures of growing up, I find an escape, such as music (lately I've been more into Sum 41 than I used to be) and sometimes I've just got to take it all in, relax, and sometimes write. so here you go, after my long description of a simpler meaning of the song, although there are deeper meanings within the song that don't express themselves in a literal sense.

“Keep On Changing (Don’t Get Old)”

I get a feeling I’ve rarely felt before, a feeling of responsibility
I’m getting older, but I don’t feel good at all about this
I feel I’m growing older way too fast, I just might crash
I’ve got the world on my shoulders and everything else in my hands

Life is dragging me down
I feel like never losing what fun I’ve always wanted to have
Maturing is all I’m ever going to do, I don’t want the world to consume me
Living my ways makes all the difference to me

Where are we heading?
Am I always going to be the same person?
I know I’ve got to change a little at one point or another
I just don’t feel I need to go into this head first

Life is dragging me down
I feel like never losing what fun I’ve always wanted to have
Maturing is all I’m ever going to do, I don’t want the world to consume me
Living my ways makes all the difference to me

I wish you could hear me now
I need someone to save me from becoming older and more bitter
What can be true of life if there is nothing left to live?
I’m a musician, not an adult, I just want to live my life

[Thesumbum]

“Keep It Up”

I’ve always had the motivation to keep myself going on
I’m not aware of a reason to stop what I love to do
No amount of hate can stop me from doing this my whole life
I’ve got ambition, I will always be moving forward, learning more every day

Knowledge to keep my inspirations fresh, not make myself the same forever
I’m here for me, not you, but I’ll gladly do it for you to
I don’t mean to disappoint anyone, but I don’t care what they’ve got to say
I’m living my life now how I want to, so much is different, it’s all the same today

I’m wasting away right in front of myself
I’m losing my head because of lack of desire to keep moving on
A few minutes later I feel like a new person again
I need a creative outlet no matter what I decide to do

Knowledge to keep my inspirations fresh, not make myself the same forever
I’m here for me, not you, but I’ll gladly do it for you to
I don’t mean to disappoint anyone, but I don’t care what they’ve got to say
I’m living my life now how I want to, so much is different, it’s all the same today

The world seems to be cheering me on
The world seems to be hating the things that I do
The right crowd for me is all of you who care
I’m not sure about the rest, it’s all just for fun

Knowledge to keep my inspirations fresh, not make myself the same forever
I’m here for me, not you, but I’ll gladly do it for you to
I don’t mean to disappoint anyone, but I don’t care what they’ve got to say
I’m living my life now how I want to, so much is different, it’s all the same today

[xmarryxx]

jeez how do you write good lyrics so fast, thats fucking awsome!

[Thesumbum]

Thanks, and it all just sort of comes to me.

“Trapped In Paradise (Stuck In Hell)”

I’m stuck in paradise
I’m rotting in the bitter cold
I’m not sure who is to blame for all of this love and suffering
I’m having the time of my life and I’m in pain

The pressures of a new day seem to disappear
There’s no more questions or answer hidden in here
I’m living in a fearful place, a cold yet scorching flame
I’m too confused to know when I go back to a world of discontent

I’m a stolen image from the leaders of the world
I’m only a small piece of the puzzle
But I finish the picture for my prize
I’m nobody but someone left in the back of someone’s eyes

The pressures of a new day seem to disappear
There’s no more questions or answer hidden in here
I’m living in a fearful place, a cold yet scorching flame
I’m too confused to know when I go back to a world of discontent

They came and they conquered leaving nothing but wreckage in their wake
All the times have come to what I know as now
Somehow I think there is more than an unestablished truth hidden in the heart of it all
I’m standing by while I let the world falls down in ashes, hidden in the dust

The pressures of a new day seem to disappear
There’s no more questions or answer hidden in here
I’m living in a fearful place, a cold yet scorching flame
I’m too confused to know when I go back to a world of discontent

[Thesumbum]

“Falling Down”

Falling, falling, falling down
One nation nation’s head stuck in the ground
We’re all here to take the fall
There’s no one left to hear our final call

One man’s problem seems to be ours too
There’s nothing left that we can do
We sit back and watch the world slowly collapse
Enjoy your life, enjoy the show, the problems will neither stay nor go

Falling, falling, falling down
One world losing all control
We’re all okay as long as we do our own thing
Create a worthless anarchy

One man’s problem seems to be ours too
There’s nothing left that we can do
We sit back and watch the world slowly collapse
Enjoy your life, enjoy the show, the problems will neither stay nor go

Corrupting powers, no power at all
It all seems to be self-destructive either way
No perfect world, no perfect power
I’ve come to see the only conclusion is the one on your mind

One man’s problem seems to be ours too
There’s nothing left that we can do
We sit back and watch the world slowly collapse
Enjoy your life, enjoy the show, the problems will neither stay nor go
