Guest Prince Posted August 4, 2004 Report Share Posted August 4, 2004 (edited) Hopefully it'll make you think a bit... I wrote it under immense emotional strain, but feel it was rushed a bit to get everything written that I wanted to get written, although I still feel I couldnt say anything I wanted to... Make of it what you like... Feedback welcome ----- 03. Isn't it Strange [10th June 2004] [Spoken] In no way can I put into words the feeling towards the fallen from my hearts calling. Seize the moment while you still have the opportunity man, seize the moment... [Sigh] Yo, in memory of... The fight to remember the fallen... Doesn't matter any fame, your name, or who you once became // Will I be seen a dying flame, or as one that changed the picture in the frame // People don't notice but they too will one day be a part of the game // Their minds falter and yet they remain unaware of the change // No matter if you are rich or poor because in death there's no gain // Your money becomes worthless because in the end we are all the same // I just can't stop thinking about you, especially now I'm without you // Because without a doubt; you, knew I couldn't live to spite you // Through thoughts and song the memories of y'all will survive // Put on a strong exterior but I miss 'em and you can see it in my eyes // The memories begin burning me, seeing you lying still for eternity // I crumble internally, though the experience only furtherly burdens me // I cry hidden at night, then pick up my pen and I sit and I write // A pen and pad all I have to confide, if I'm not ashamed why do I hide// Never in my mind will the memories of y'all brothers and sisters rust // Because yo this goes out to y'all that've fallen and bit the dust... // [Chorus: sung softly and slowly] ... And isn't it strange, how things can change, And how every breath, is a mask for death... Who am I but a child inside a shell, left punching glass doors // Punishing myself 'cause they fell, grinding my feet along splintered floors // I wonder what fate holds in store, I take the thought to my core // Like waves lapping a shore, we all hold out until we can fight no more // Like soldiers in a firing line, no matter how strong as all fall in time // For the fallen through rhyme, I pour out my heart into every line // I'm only living for the present, not the previous, not the future // To some extent, it's the devious, that prove to be my best tutor // As I watch your memories fade, I'm not passing the blame // You're deeply lost in your ways, you know what I claim // What you say, is you will save things for another day, but hey // We all have death to pay, and you too will one day face decay // I feel alone as the darkness surrounds me leaving me out cold // Turn by turn the inner pain in my mind begins to unfold // But never will the memories of y'all brothers and sisters rust // Because yo this goes out to y'all that've fallen and bit the dust... // [Chorus sung softly and slowly] I get pushed towards the edge, as I try to ignore my conscience // The voice has me on the ledge, and eats at me in a tone that's raucous // As the voice dominates my mind, the confusion descends // I'm just scared of what I fear I'll find, that I do something nothing can amend // I try to reach out to safe ground, but nothing grasps my hands // My sanity whirls around, as my body ignores my minds commands // As I sit here in darkness, my mind blank and stony // Overwhelmed by loneliness, you were the one and the only // My life turned into a toil, a constant battle to understanding // My blood boils, why wasn't it another is what I'm demanding // Caught between both anger and personal misery // Wish I could have prevented it but I ain't no visionary // My heart and mind becomes a twisted blur of confusion // People think I'm placid inside but that's just an illusion // The problem is that I no longer know myself // As I sit here wishing it was happening to someone else...// [Softly spoken]Hell was so kind at first, It held me gently within it's fingers, It soon grew warmer on earth, But deep inside; the scar lingers… [Softly speak chorus in background as music fades] Edited August 4, 2004 by Prince Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Prince Posted August 4, 2004 Report Share Posted August 4, 2004 (edited) Thank you man, I'm really glad of your opinions because they really mean alot. As you may have guessed, it was mostly written at night when I was lying awake... I think some of the lines in there really make you think... Or at least they made me think.

bigted Posted August 5, 2004 Report Share Posted August 5, 2004 It's very deep, it reminds me of a song that I wrote after my grandma passed away called "A Letter To God", maybe one of these days when I have time to type it on my computer I'll show you it!

Guest Prince Posted August 5, 2004 Report Share Posted August 5, 2004 (edited) Thanks... I'm not sure if it's meant to be deep or not, just one of those days when you write what's on your mind I guess. I appreciate your feedback bigted and thanks for taking the time to reply! And yeah... I would really like to read more of your lyrics. :dancingcool: Edited August 5, 2004 by Prince Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
