Well, I have gotten into wrting songs.
Yes. Me and lyrics go somewhat good together.
I don't consider me a very good writer, but everyone I know seems to disagree with me. So, I write lyrics for my band and made myself the vocals. Not because I want the spotlight, just because when I write songs, I get in my head how they will sound, and if I don't sing them, they are going to come out wrong.
So, here is a little diddy I just wrote, I got the inspiration from my life experiences and a kind of unknown Nine Inch Nails song called "And All That Could Have Been":
My heart has betrayed me.
It has led me astray.
It has made me believe in this thing called love.
It has made me give myself away.
It has trapped the thought of you in my mind.
It has let me believe.
But I won’t lose this time.
I know it will never be.
I will not let myself believe.
I am no one.
You are the light.
I will never let me believe
That we both can burn bright.
Just run. Run away from me.
I am only bringing you down.
Your life has promise.
You could become world renown.
I’ll just sit in my dark corner.
Watching you slip away.
But this is better for you.
It is better this way.
In my final dying breaths,
I will wish I did something.
But then I will realize
that I clipped my wing.
With the thought of you in my mind
I could do anything.
But knowing it will never be
broke down everything.
My whole life in pieces
hoping for some help.
Fuck that.
I’ll pick it up myself.
You were the wind beneath my wings.
But the wind that never was.
We were never there.
Nor will we ever be there.
So finish me.
Take the final piece of my heart.
You were my everything
But you fucking finish what you did start.
How could you of been my lifeline
If we never were?
I can’t think straight without you.
Everything is a blur.
When you lifted me up
It was all in my head
I’d rather stay down here,
Stay down here and rot instead.
As I will say
In my last breath
Better to have never gotten what you loved
Then to have lost it in the end.
