*These are the lyrics I wrote for my bands next gig. It's actually a song, but I just wanted to see if any of ya'll like it. Thanx guys!*

Similarly strange is
The girl who sits in your doorway
What I can't explain is
The hell you put her through today
You're not a lover
You're not a friend
You're not another
She'll be your end
When the world comes crashing down
You won't still be popular
You will find
The debt unsigned
And shadows crawling on the floor
In her head she cries
In her head she dies
In her head, inside her crazy head
She flys to me
As she lets go she hears me say
Come, my pretty one
Bring your tears and burn them in the golden sun
Leave your sorrows here
Just close your eyes, my dear
He never meant for it to go this far
But I am strength, and I am where you are
Underestimated is
The crime you hid beneath your bed
So approximated is
Your living lie that she was fed
You're not a hero
You're not a king
You're not a good man
But she's everything
When the world comes crashing down
You won't still be popular
You will find
The debt unsigned
And flames crawling on the floor
In her head she cries
In her head she dies
In her head, inside her crazy head
She flys to me
As she lets go she hears me say
Come, my pretty one
Bring your tears and burn them in the golden sun
Leave your sorrows here
Just close your eyes, my dear
He never meant for it to go this far
But I am love,and I am where you are
Take one look in to her eyes
All the pain she can't disguise
Her blood is on your hands
Can't wash it away
Take one look into her soul
See the bitter, aching hole
Her blood is on your hands
Never wash it, can't wash it away
Your violence still stands
But when the world comes crashing down
You won't still be popular
You will find
There's no rewind
The past that is behind you
Forcing your head to the floor
In your head you cry
In your head you die
In your head, inside your crazy head
You should have learned to fly......
In her head she cries
In her head she dies
In her head,inside her crazy head
She flys to me
Flying just to hear me say
Come, my pretty one
Bring your tears and burn them in the golden sun
Leave your sorrows here
Just close your eyes, my dear
I promise you, it will not go this far
Because you're home, and I am where you are
Yes, I am where you are


 It's another world
But it's something more than ordinary
Such a lovely day
And it's nothing more than ordinary living
That you're living

I loved the lyrics.  Last night my boyfriend and I broke up because he was a coward.  The pain hurt me so bad, but it all stopped after I talked to my best friend.  I love the part that says, "In her head she cries, In her head she dies, In her head, inside her crazy head"  Thanks for posting it.  Good luck.

Very pretty lyric! I like it, and someday I'd love to hear it set to music? I'll listen for it on the radio soem day  )

Crystal

 "The worst of what people do to one another is deceive.
Because when you love someone you control their version
of reality. If you lie to them that's like making them
autistic so that what they believe is reality is in fact,
not their true situation at all."

It's not the angry words that break the heart, it's the silence.

Someone said that true love is like a ghost -- often spoke of but never seen.
I've seen both and yet in my darkest hours, tend to believe that neither exits.

This is extremely excellent... I'll be looking for it on the top 10...   What instrument do you play?

Well, I'm not so sure about the whole top-10 thing, cause we're just a local band, but hey, I'm flattered! I play guitar, tamborine, and do vocals, depending on which song we play. (we're a multi-talented group) Just to tell ya some other stuff, our band name is Valet Parking, there's 6 of us, we have a permanent drummer and base player, the other four of us do guitar or vocals, usually two people sing and one of those two will play tamborine while the other two play guitar. Confusing, eh? yeah, I know. Oh, we play like punk?grunge music, with a bit of hard-core thrown in sometimes. Okay I'll really shut up now. Crazy.
