New Compositions : A Few Months Later

Lord, I am weak
And I am weary
And all I can think of
Is how cold it is
Outside

Can’t see what’s ahead
I can’t see behind my head
And all I can think of
Is how cold it is
Outside

Shed some light my way
Turn my night----- into day
And fill this emptiness~

A few months later
Would find me sitting in a little food place
Alone
Smiling at every other face
A few months later
Has found me sitting in a little food place
Alone
Strangers, but still saved by grace
Still saved by grace

Inhaling rust
Exhaling pain
I’ve lost my trust
To the blithering rain
Outside

Your face I keep
In the nooks and crannies
Of my mind’s deep
In my soul’s cold
I hide

Shed some light my way
Turn my night--- into day
And fill this emptiness~

A few months later
Would find me sitting in a little train
Alone
Staring at every other face
(How could I know?) A few months later
Would find me sitting in a little train
Alone
Strangers, but your grace sustains
Your grace sustains

New Compositions: Weary Eyes

I've had the privilege of working with a good friend and musician for two weeks now, and it's been awesome! I now have several songs in the soup factory and it is BOILING!! Haha. Just thought the two (or few, no difference) of you who actually read my blog entries, might like a little teaser to my songs. So i'm gonna be posting up my new lyrics everytime i come up with new stuff. Afterwhich, they shall all be archived into: http://pocket-tissues.livejournal.com/ (This is basically where i stash all my lyrical compositions)

So without further ado, my first song in a long while:

WEARY EYES

VERSE I

Exhausted and it’s no surprise
It’s how I meet each day’s demise
And I’m all burnt out and tried
No pondering of hows and whys
It’s time I recognized
What my mind denies

PRE-CHORUS
Shadows merge to solids
Jovial smiles turn morbid, yeah

CHORUS
All I want to do
Is sit with you and hear you speak
And watch you dream
All I want to do
Is dance with you and be with you
Till I….
All I want to do
Is walk with you and watch you think
And see you breathe
So be with me till I
Have to close these weary eyes

BRIDGE
I know I’m a little tired
But only just a little
I’ll stay with you, if you don’t mind
For only just a little
I know I’m a little tired
But only just a little
Stay, please stay
Till I close this weary eyes

Over You - Chris Daughtry

Now that it's all said and done,

I can't believe you were the one

To build me up and tear me down,

Like an old abandoned house.

What you said when you left

Just left me cold and out of breath.

I fell too far, was in way too deep.

Guess I let you get the best of me.

Well, I never saw it coming.

And I should've started running

A long, long time ago.

And I never thought I'd doubt you,

I'm better off without you

More than you, more than you know.

I'm slowly getting closure.

I guess it's really over.

I'm finally getting better.

And now I'm picking up the pieces.

From spending all of these years

Putting my heart back together.

'Cause the day I thought I'd never get through,

I got over you.

You took a hammer to these walls,

Dragged the memories down the hall,

Packed your bags and walked away.
There was nothing I could say.

And when you slammed the front door shut,

A lot of others opened up,

So did my eyes so I could see

That you never were the best for me.

Well, I never saw it coming.

And I should've started running

A long, long time ago.

And I never thought I'd doubt you,

I'm better off without you

More than you, more than you know.

I'm slowly getting closure.

I guess it's really over.

I'm finally getting better.

And now I'm picking up the pieces.

From spending all of these years

Putting my heart back together.

'Cause the day I thought I'd never get through,

I got over you.

Well, I never saw it coming.

And I should've started running

A long, long time ago.

And I never thought I'd doubt you,

I'm better off without you

More than you, more than you know.

Well, I never saw it coming.

And I should've started running

A long, long time ago.

And I never thought I'd doubt you,

I'm better off without you

More than you, more than you know.

I'm slowly getting closure.

I guess it's really over.

I'm finally getting better.

And now I'm picking up the pieces.

From spending all of these years

Putting my heart back together.

Well I'm putting my heart back together,

'Cause I got over you.

Well I got over you.

I got over you.

'Cause the day I thought

I'd never get through,

I got over you.
