What’s your password?
If I told you, I’d have to kill you.
So I had this great music blog idea the other day, but because I’m dumb and lazy, I didn’t write it down. So now I don’t know what to talk about…
Ok, you know what? I’m going to type up some of my newest lyrics, and you guys critique their musicality. I don’t think that’s a word…
*NO TITLE*
There’s five years of my life
That I’m not getting back
And it’s weighing on my mind
Strength was what I lacked
I met you on a sunny day
But now you’re done, the skies are grey
I guess some things were never meant to last
I’ve wasted so much time
Hoping I could call you mine
Even when the crush was through
I was always waiting ’round for you
I trusted too many times
Until you said goodbye to me
Why wasn’t I the one
Who had the guts to set you free?
I met you on a sunny day
But now you’re done, the skies are grey
I guess some things were never meant to last
I’ve wasted so much time
Hoping I could call you mine
Even when the crush was through
I still waited ’round for you
You left me broken on the floor
You didn’t want me anymore
Was I expected to lie and wait?
To be picked up at a later date?
I met you on a sunny day
But now you’re done, the skies are grey
I guess some things were never meant to last
I’ve wasted so much time
Hoping I could call you mine
Even when the crush was through
I still waited ’round for you
(People who know me should know what that one is about…)
*SONG I WROTE IN ASTRONOMY*
There’s faith and then there’s logic
There’s heart and then there’s mind
Why can’t they be put together?
Together, we could shine
It doesn’t matter what you worship
But that you practice what you love
You don’t have to have a God
Just turn your gun in for a dove
There’s wrong and then there’s right
You’ve got your heaven and your hell
Who are we to hurt each other?
In hatred, we control the swell
It doesn’t matter what you worship
But that you practice what you love
You don’t have to have a God
Just turn your gun in for a dove
Love your neighbor and your brother
Your friends, and all the others
Do to me what I’d do to you
To everyone, not just a few
Love the beauties and the flaws
And we’ll stay out of hatred’s claws
Show a smile before a frown
And not a one can bring us down
It doesn’t matter what you worship
But that you practice what you love
You don’t have to have a God
Just turn your gun in for a dove
(Yay!)
A little for everyone
You’re like Dirt to me now
A flower without it’s petals
A mine without it’s metals
A dog without it’s bark
A playground without the park
I don’t care if it is stupid
I know what I want
You are suffering too
We’re like dirt without a pot
It’s like a fire without the flames
Pieces without the games
A garden without it’s flowers
Superman without his powers
I don’t care if it is stupid
I know what I want
You are suffering too
We’re like dirt without a pot
We might get hurt
But at least we’d have tried
Don’t want to wonder “what if”
For the rest of my life…
I don’t care if it is stupid
I know what I want
You are suffering too
We’re like dirt without a pot
When there’s nothing left
Her eyes are black
Just like the skin above her cheek
Her skin is red
From the thirteenth scab this week
Her hands are shaking
As she cowers in her room
Her ears are ringing
But his rant is ending soon
Why do you look away?
Why does she have to pay?
She has done nothing wrong
Her head hurts from being strong
But she’s got nowhere left to go
His arm is broken
Because papa lost his job
His face is bruised
But he can not even sob
His will is taken
So he hides himself away
His head is spinning
He’s got no choice but to stay
Why do you look away?
Why does he have to pay?
He has done nothing wrong
His heart hurts from being strong
But he’s got nowhere left to go
She’s waited so long
To turn eighteen
He joined the army
So they can’t hear him scream
Why me?
Why do you look away?
Why do they have to pay?
They have done nothing wrong
Their hearts strain from being strong
But still they’re crying all alone
AH Lyrics
Since I’m in a hotel room right now and I have been either travelling or without sufficient computer access for the past few days, today’s (late) music blog will be a bit pathetic. I also forgot to bring my flash drive with my Nine Days CD review on it so yeah.
I just compiled some of my favorite lyrics for today. Kudos if you can identify them without looking them up, but I’ll forgive you someday if you have to Google ’em. Anyways, enjoy!
“You should never let the sun shine on tomorrow before the sun rises today”
“Hate is a strong word, but I really really really don’t like you”
“If you want better answers ask better questions”
“Shelter me oh genius words, just give me strength, to pen these things”
“I will write you a song, that’s how you’ll know that my love is still strong”
“When you’re dreaming with a broken heart, the waking up is the hardest part”
“We’ve learned to change but did we change to learn”
“OOOH THIS IS AN S-O-S!!!”
Sorry had to throw that last one in. Muahaha.

In case no one read my blog a couple days ago, I will now be doing music reviews and blogs as well as regular blogging. So here’s my first, my top six favorite songs. I picked each for a different reason; most have excellent lyrics, always a plus, and some have just a great sound.
Ok, I admit it. Lyrics are the most important part. I’m including a quote from each song so you get a feel for it.
TOP SIX BEST SONGS IN THE WHOLE WIDE WORLD
1. Dare You To Move- Switchfoot
The tension is here
Between who you are and who you could be
Between how it is and how it should be
2. Hallelujah- Paramore
Holding onto patience wearing thin
I can’t force these eyes to see the end
3. Wasted- Cartel
And I’m 18 couldn’t wait to move out
It’s been 5 years and now I’m starting to doubt…
Whether all my dreams are just aimless stares
Looking off to someplace that isn’t there
4. I’m Like a Lawyer- Fall Out Boy
From a sour bottle baby girl
With eyes the size of baby worlds
5. If I Am- Nine Days
But it’s always too late when you’ve got nothing,
So you say
And you should never let the sun set on tomorrow,
Before the sun rises today
6. When I’m Gone (Acoustic)- Simple Plan
Life it’s what happens
While you’re busy making your excuses
Ahh, music. More to come.
Model Girl
I may not look like a runway girl
I may not wear the latest fashions
My nose may be a bit big
But that doesn't mean I have don't have a passion
I may not look like your
model girl
I may not look like I can
carry the weight of the world
But I hold my head high!
And I try not to cry
I might not be the prettiest!
But I'm not who you should detest
I'm not your model girl
But I'm more, so much more
What's inside my head is
what really matters
What's on the outside
well, it can shatter
I may not look like your
model girl
I may not look like I can
carry the weight of the world
But I hold my head high!
And I try not to cry
I might not be the prettiest!
But I'm not who you should detest
I'm not your model girl
But I'm more, so much more
Don't compare me
To the girls you see on TV
I will never look like that
But I've got more to offer
than a pretty face,
a pretty face
I may not look like your
model girl
I may not look like I can
carry the weight of the world
But I hold my head high!
And I try not to cry
I might not be the prettiest!
But I'm not who you should detest
I'm not your model girl
But I'm more, so much more
I may not look like your
model girl
I may not look like I can
carry the weight of the world
But I hold my head high!
And I try not to cry
I might not be the prettiest!
But I'm not who you should detest
I'm not your model girl
But I'm more, so much more

Clones of Society (a song I wrote a couple years ago, one of my first)
When I look out into my world
I see an army
immature duplicates
Their thoughts are unfurled
Only nothing is heard
They are all clones of our un-reality
We are all caught in this web of misery
I don’t wanna be
A clone of so-ci-e-ty
I wish we all were
In touch with re-al-i-ty
Why can’t we find
The beauty that was once inside?
It’s lost to us
Now
It’s gone
Looking to the east
The scuf-ling of feet
Shuffling, the sound of the
zombies of now
I wish I could get out
Of this stampede!
But really all I can do is
Watch all them feed
On the common look and thoughts that we’ve made
I don’t wanna be
A clone of so-ci-e-ty
I wish we all were
In touch with re-al-i-ty
Why can’t we find
The beauty that was once inside?
It’s lost to us
Now
It’s gone
No no no!
I will rebel
I can fortell
The outcome of this
The bells are ringing
Girls are singing
The same tune again!
We’ve all made it clear
That we’re locked in this fear
But no one can tell that
They’re trapped
Trapped
The clones start to shut down
The sameness, they’re overwhelmed
They can not find all that something
That was once inside
They’ve allowed themselves to
Drown in all that
com-mon crap
They all, at the store, bought the same map
But I will fight!
I don’t wanna be
A clone of so-ci-e-ty
I wish we all were
In touch with re-al-i-ty
Why can’t we find
The beauty that was once inside?
It’s lost to us
Now
It’s gone
Disappeared!
Vanished, whisked away
Into the skies of yesterday
Here is a song I wrote one day when it was raining…
This song, Fall Rain Fall, is meant to be sung slowly, in a pitch that even I can manage.
Fall Rain Fall
Thunder claps
Lightning strikes
Fall rain fall
Tears stream
Down her face
Fall rain fall
Drown out the sound
Of her cries for help
Erase the traces
Of the tears that fell
You wouldn't listen then
So why do you, now?
The river, the river
Overflows
Fall rain fall
She call, she calls
For help
Fall rain fall
Drown out the sound
While she cries in fear
Erase the traces that she was here
You wouldn't listen then
So why are you near
Let the rain
Let it fall
You wouldn't
help at all
Fall rain fall
She's still crying
She may never stop
The tears
Just keep coming
Fall rain fall
Drown out the sound
As she sobs on the floor
Erase the traces
Forever more
You wouldn't listen then
So fall, rain, fall
Whatcha think?
Here's a link so you can listen to it. You'll hear Vannah (who sings it) rustling the paper at one point, because, I being the writer, she didn't completely know the song. Sorry.
