Make your mark

He never saw it coming if he did he'd still be running
Somewhere gunning down a little town until no sound is uttered
Pumping shells into the masses; anger, blood, and broken glass is
Falling down around the massive losses; blasting, lost in chaos

The military came with all their weapons make him famous
For a crime he got away with an escape that TV broadcast
Shooting footage of the man who shot a town under an hour
Show the world of today that we the people have the power

Even though they say he's evil with intelligence revealed
Someone sees the man on TV recognizing how he feels
Another time another place the memory of lying faces
Fills the space inside his brain with anger, hate, and constant failure

If I am to die

If I were to die tonight, I die a death of shame
If I had died back then, I'd have died with a grin
If I am to die tomorrow, I die locked in the past
But Death is a coyote
He tricks you into think you're dying
He makes you cold when someone's lying
He grabs your soul and closes fist
And laughs because you can't resist

So cruel a man can not be found, though evil rules this world
A fool in love is chained and bound, so people hear no cries
Disguise the shiver down your spine that comes up from another time
I can't get sick but I can suffer, from the pain an empty crime

The days of true joy have been and spent,
but at least they did while they were

Trapped In My Head part 4

Dripping come her words unheard spit venom in my throat
A spiny snake of half-truths, blind emotion on the road
I choke down her breakdown and float on knowin' it's broke now
Salvation's reservation called and they don't want the table
Always stripped away today as never takes its place
And reigns in rain pulling the reigns of blackening embrace
Where once a face now scars from pains that I could not let go
There is no way out of my head I'm trapped inside this place

Breakdown

Thanks Tom Petty

Okay, so here's what I envision for this song. A homeless man sings and there is also a lead singer, and of course, well, instruments of all kinds working together.
L.S. = lead singer, H.M = homeless man

Homeless man:
It's alright if you love me
It's alright if you won't
I'm not afraid if I die here today
Here I lay by the side of the road

Lead singer:
Do you remember seeing him so weak and thin out in the rain
While you watched him fade away from within the comfort of your train
His cold, old bones that fought for you now lie in the drain that is his grave
Red, white, and blue now forgot who he was, just another cardboard "Jesus Saves"

L.S:
Breakdown
H.M.:
Go ahead and give it to me
L.S.:
Breakdown
H.M.:
Death will take me in the night
Together:
Breakdown, oooooooo
H.M.:
It's alright, it's alright

How can he explain how hard it is if no one cares?
Everybody shifts their guilty glaze from him to anywhere
Limping every street downtown from the shrapnel of the past still there
Is it too late to save this man who lost it all? That don't seem fair

L.S:
Breakdown
H.M.:
Go ahead and give it to me
L.S.:
Breakdown
H.M.:
Death will take me in the night
Together:
Breakdown, oooooooo
H.M.:
It's alright, it's alright




Thats all i have.

Abyss

Pouring rain drips off the bridge that man just walked across
Shivering cold, soaking wet, just another broken cross
Upon his chest is written death, internal bloody holocaust
Past battles won and lost now he's left inside the thoughts
The bridge begins to burn everything that this man has lost
The sins within him hurt now manifesting into greater loss


Where once was green and good now gone and in the ground
He makes another footstep that echoes with no sound
Abyss so deep he lives in sleep a place to walk around
No place to call his home
Hope has left this man and now he shivers in the rain
Unforgotten lost in memory these scars will never fade
He crossed another bridge ticking clocks will never change
Crumbled away the former yesterday
