My songbook

[Dan]

So, clearing out my room the other day, and found this. It’s a small book of songs I wrote a while ago. I must point out when I wrote these I was rather depressed, so the majority of them are 'emo'...

I did actually come up with vocal melodies for al of these, bar the last one.... Shame I'm in a punk band now, so we're never going to use them. I don’t think any of them are that good (however, we are adapting Unifinished 1 into another song, so its not all bad).

There were 4 songs I never finished, and never came up with a name for, which is a shame.

Feel free to tell me what you think of any of them.

Dying In My Arms

Now I'm standing all alone,
I can't seem to see,
Or feel you anymore,
It's hard for me to just pretend,
You know its coming to the end,
When I swear I've grown

Swear I've grown...

Don’t come crying,
Back to me,
You’re always lying,
I won’t agree,
This time im sighing,
Your stupid charms,
When you’re dying,
Dying in my arms

Don't ask me now the time's not right,
And even though I feel alright,
I know you’re not the one,
But now I see we're both alone,
I really hope we're coming home,
To when we belong

Yeah, where we belong...

Don't come crying,
Back to me,
You’re always lying,
I won't agree,
This time I’m sighing,
Your stupid charms,
When you’re dying,
Dying in my arms

*Bridge*

Where have you gone?
I'm right here waiting,
Don't you know that,
I've stopped hating you?

Im not over you...

Please come crying,
Back to me,
You’re lying,
Is fine with me this,
Sympathising,
I love your charms,
I'll end up dying,
Dying in your arms.




Harriet

Harriet, you were the one I won't forget, and,
Harriet, you were my lover, and
Harriet, we'd still be together, but
Harriet, you went and fucked my brother,

'Cause you are,
A little fucking liar,
And you were,
An object of desire,
And we would,
Still be together but,
You had,
Gone and fucked my brother,

Harriet, you tore out my heart, and,
Harriet, you threw it on the floor, and,
Harriet, your a stupid fucking whore, and,
Harriet, you’re not going to win this war,

'Cause you are,
A little fucking liar,
And you were,
An object of desire,
And we would,
Still be together but,
You had,
Gone and fucked my brother,

Harriet, get this into your head you slut, and,
Harriet, I hate your fucking guts, and
Harriet, I hope you die a painful death, and,
Harriet, with your one last gasping breath,

I'd say

You are,
A little fucking liar,
And you were,
An object of desire,
And we would,
Still be together but,
You had,
Gone and fucked my brother,




Unfinished 1

Spitting out words that aint right in the head
Not much longer till we'll all be dead
Keep optimistic
Stay realistic
I never wanna be the one who’s stuck home in bed
I wanna be the one who’s getting drunk on parade
Your the opposition n were gonna invade
So much for trying
Just keep on lying
My mind is more destructive than a hand grenade

I gotta tattoo of a heart on the back of my hand
Everything I think about is carefully planned
Feeling excited
The fire is ignited
Stop telling me to do stuff that I don’t understand
Young and rebellious and full of rage
Gotta job paying out the minimum wage
Who's in charge
Were living it large
Got my scribbling and drawings all over the page




Unfinished 2

Skip down the lane,
You fell straight into my arms again,
I'll take this pain

Don't care how it really happens,
But I know what matter,
Is your here

Drowning in your floods of tears
Now I’ve lost my fears,
I can see

Take what you have and hold it close,
You’ve got much more than most,
People I know,

You can’t make it through holding my hand,
'Cause none of this is planned,
I hope we land.

Safely on the other side,
I can't believe you lied,
In front of me.




Unfinished 3

The state,
The state of things to come,

The fate,
The fate of what I've done

A lie,
The story of my life

As I walk my path,
To my lonely grave,
I know that I am not ok,
I've asked you once,
So please just try,
Leave me alone,
And let me die.

The truth,
The truth of who I am,

They say,
Hey I'm your biggest fan,

Please don't,
Let them see me like this




Unfinished 4

I can't believe it
We made it here,
After all this killing,
All this dying,
All this hoping,
All this trying
We’re coming home.

Journeys end,
I see the light,
So supernatural,
And all of this,
Is nothing
In my eyes,
I’ve done it all before

This Stockholm syndrome
You're insecure,
I forgave you,
So forget me.

some of them really sound kinda emo-ish but on the paper, i really liked 'em :D

I mean, today people are so dumb they think emo is a style of playing the guitar rather than lyrical, so really, if you play actual punk and shit (stupid people actually think every punk is emo) or metal, stupid fucks would never check your lyrics, rather if you play a little softer music with brutal death metal lyrics people still will say it's emo - that's how today's world is fucked up.

Rock on dude! 8)
