two new songs

[matt986]

I'm an emo/punk/whatever songwriter, and i thought after reading some of the great work in here i could maybe get some help on my lyrics. Any feedback and opinions would be great!! Thanks,

5/11/04

(intro/bridge)
It said not meant for saving lives
I throw it aside
I’m looking for the one that fits
This tragedy I’m in
Cause I am sinking oh so deep
In this see of despair
Without you I feel so cold
And I’m so scared

(verse)
Why does it always
End like this
Our friends pulled in
To oblivion
This world of darkness
Comes to light
Find myself wishing
For one more night

(pre chorus)
With you
Everything would be okay
I’ve got just one thing left to say

(chorus)
It’s not fair *note is held on fair*
It’s not fair the way they
took you away
But it’s okay *held on okay*
Cause it’s better where
You’re going anyway

(verse)
When I knelt by
You that night
Look at you
For the last time
When you get where
You’re going
Promise me you’ll
Ask God why

(pre chorus)
5/11/04 was not your time
We never even said goodbye

(chorus)



*bridge*
It said not meant for saving lives
I throw it aside
I’m looking for the one that fits
This tragedy I’m in
Cause I am sinking oh so deep
In this see of despair
Without you I feel so cold
And I’m so scared

(verse)
Even as the
Days go by
You will never
Fade into the night
In our hearts and
Minds you’ll stay
We will always
Look to brighter days

(pre chorus)
With you
Everything will be okay
I’ve got just one thing left to say

(chorus) x 2
It’s not fair *note is held on fair*
It’s not fair the way they
took you away
But it’s okay *held on okay*
Cause it’s better where
You’re going anyway

(outro)
And as I wipe these tears
And dry these eyes
I send to you
One last goodbye

New Years Resolutions

verse:
There is a high place
Where we throw things off
Memories we don’t want
Memories long lost
A living breathing junkyard
Of forgotten things
Never to be looked upon
In the lives we lead

(Broken dreams) *whispered

chorus:
Old machines, ancient means
Time passed by, pointless lives
Chards of pain, faded pictures
Expectations, unanswered wishes

verse:
At the bottom of this cliff
Amidst all of the mist
These problems fade away
Like a new years resolution
But when we do look back
Upon the burning heap
We see the faintest glimmer
That hope still remains

(It’s fading)*whispered

chorus:
Old machines, ancient means
Time passed by, pointless lives
Chards of pain, faded pictures
Expectations, unanswered wishes

*bridge*
Apathy ringing clear
Run away far from here
As fires rage
We turn a page
Before these machines
Come back seeking us

(Apathy breaths)*whispered

(chorus) x 2
Old machines, ancient means
Time passed by, pointless lives
Chards of pain, faded pictures
Expectations, unanswered wishes
