Death Won't Stop

It crept up silently behind us.
Our lives were too busy to notice.
Suffering went on without any hope.
Agony and pain were known all too well.
Our happy spirits have turned for the worst.
Death won't stop to say "sorry."

Invisible Children

A child is alone.
A child is crying.
A child is needy.
A child is gone.

While we walk to our bedrooms,
They walk miles to find sleep tonight.
While we sleep in peace and comfort,
They sleep with the fear of being taken and killed.
While we live our lives,
They are invisible children.

Children are stolen.
Children are murdered.
Children are soldiers.
Children are gone.

While we go to school freely,
They study in hiding.
While we are having fun with our friends,
They are being stolen and forced to be soldiers.
While we live our lives,
They are invisible children.

Children lose their innocence.
Children lose their voice.
Children lose their lives.
Children are lost.

As long as we do nothing,
We add to their fear.
As long as we're comfortable,
We add to their pain.
As long as we have plenty of food,
We add to their starvation.
As long as we live and not have compassion,
We add to their invisibility.

new chorus

so yeahhh. here's the chorus to one of the songs I've been workin' on lately. It's not very good, and I'm still working on the rest of the song. It's not as depressing as my regular stuff, it's got hope. =]

Yeah, I'll scream
And I'll cry
No, I won't deny
The pain that I felt
When I turned off the lights.
Yeah, I'll run
And I'll hide
Alone in the dark
Then you came and I felt
You sit down by my side.

Always Alone

I walk down this road. Alone. Everyday. Alone. I think of life. I think of love. But I'm alone. Always alone.

In the rain I walk down this road. Alone. I feel no one. I hear no one. But I can hear faint whispers falling from the sky. The raindrops are talking. And yet I'm alone. Always Alone.

In the wind I walk down this road. Alone. There's no one here. There's no one there. I hear the voices again. Only they're louder now. They're running through my hair. Brushing against my face. The cool air blows against my back. I then realized the air is talking. But I'm alone. Always Alone.

In the thunder I walk down this road. Alone. Nobody's with me. No one's beside me. And they're back. The voices. They're stronger and louder. Now they're talking loudly to me. It's syncopated with my heart. The beating rhythm is speaking. It has life in it. I'm still alone. Always alone.

In the lightening I walk down this road. Alone. Nobody remembers me. Nobody thinks of me. They're screaming. With rain. With wind. With thunder. Now lightening. A bolt cracked. The lightening lit up this lonely road. The lights flashed. And now nothing. Just lonliness. Always Alone.

You walked down this road. Alone. Everyday. Alone. You thought of life. You thought of love. Wake up. You're dead. You died alone in a lonely crowd. But you're alone. Always alone.

We Feel

You're optimism
Is Shocking.
My depressive realism
Is true.
We're two seperate people,
And yet the same we feel.

You're interests
Are wierd.
My ideas of fun
Are different.
We're two seperate people,
And yet the same we feel.

You're thoughts
Are deep.
My insights
Are strange.
We're two seperate people,
And yet the same we feel.

You're one
With Me
I'm one
With you.
We're suddenly a whole
And yet differently we feel.

Secrets

Verse 1:
So she's lying on her bed
She's wondering why these thoughts keep coming into her head.
Everybody thinks she's fine,
But they don't see the real girl,
Only her lies.

Pre-Chorus:
(Lies) Behind the music.
'Cause she's trying not to show it;
Show the pain inside.

Chorus:
She's just sick of this world
Her life is falling to pieces.
All she knows is pain and sadness.
Oh, will this nightmare ever end?
She needs to find some peace within.
Is there a cure to this madness?

Verse 2:
So now she's cutting her wrists,
And she hides the scars with bracelets.
No one suspects a problem
'Cause no one sees her thoughts,
The ones that she hides.

Pre-Chorus:
(Hides) Behind the music.
'Cause she doesn't wanna show it.
Show the hurt inside.

Chorus:
She's just sick of this world
Her life is falling to pieces.
All she knows is pain and sadness.
Oh, will this nightmare ever end?
She needs to find some peace within.
Is there a cure to this madness?

Verse 3:
She's gettin' tired of lying,
And she's been doin' a lot of crying.
Nobody knows of her tears,
'Cause she keeps them inside,
'Cause those are her fears.

Chorus:
She's just sick of this world
Her life is falling to pieces.
All she knows is pain and sadness.
Oh, will this nightmare ever end?
She needs to find some peace within.
Is there a cure to this madness?

Bridge:
She needs help
But doesn't know where to go.
She wants love
But she only knows sorrow.
She's gonna push the limits tonight.
She's either gonna die or be alright.

Verse 4/Outro:
Now she's got her razor.
She's gonna end the pain tonight.
'Cause she thinks that death will save her.
A beautiful life is lost again,
Will this demise ever end?

None

So I sit here day after day,
Unknown and alone;
Listening to your song a thousand times over,
So when the music stops
I can still hear it eternally playing.
But there was no song.
No noise.
No movement.
No memory.
