♥♥ Јϋѕт Ŝсаяѕ ♥♥: BEAUTIFUL SOLITUDE
By: CanadianGuitarist24
May 28, 2009
(song on myspace: www.myspace.com/gmansmuzac)


Everything's the same as the yesterday I know,
'Cause everybody's changing, the people come and go,
This life is over-aging, its leaves are turning brown,
Too many days we watched fall, into the lake and drown...

The sky is falling,
I've lost a sense of why I hold my head up high,
But something good is calling,
but i don't know how long it takes to arrive.

This life is clouding over, there's nothing left to say,
If only I could wake up and escape this lonely place,
I hate this life without you, you've taken all i need,
But soon I know you'll show up and see the same old me.

The sky is falling,
I've lost a sense of why I hold my head up high,
And paradise is stalling,
and i don't know how long it takes to arrive.

CHORUS:
So you threw me out today, but you'll bring me back tomorrow,
and in time I'll find a way, to get my feet on the floor,
soon I'll view today as a lesson for tomorrow
show the world what's on display, I'll be searching for more.

retaardvark: "Cafe Confidential"
(it could be a poem, but I wrote it as a song)


I've been sitting here
just minding my own business
When suddenly in my ear
I caught a distant conversation

Now, I believe in a rule of thumb that claims:
If you're in earshot
then technically one can't be blamed
for any form of eves-drop

So I inadvertently tuned in to the
beautiful couple with the ugly relationship
and before the hour was up
I found myself assessing the damage

Now, I don't recall it word for word
but I do believe it was trivial
and by the time she grabbed her purse
the big hand was on the twelve

And I couldn't help myself
I yelled...

"Go after her...
Apologize.
You're in love with her...
It's in your eyes."

♥♥ Јϋѕт Ŝсаяѕ ♥♥
♥♥ Јϋѕт Ŝсаяѕ ♥♥: Crazy for now
CO written with Blake/Anarchitech

FEMALE:
Staring into your window I see your face
Broken down, and a little out of place
Such a sad look, too bad I put it there
to bad, despite the distance we both care
Staring back at me, you know this look by now
I'm not crazy, crazy just has me for now

MALE:
I've sat and I've watched through your window
As you light up the world with half a smile
And there's an inkling of some kind of logic
That tells us that this seems worthwhile
We've talked about what it all seems to be
And we can come up with theories for now
BUt I swear, I was never crazy
But crazy's just got me for now



FEMALE:
Whispering to you across the lonely miles
Some melodies never do go out of style
The way that we've dance with out ever touching
the strength of your glance seems to be clutching
upon more than we ever did intend
seems life would only have me call you friend
I think there's more to it that we just haven't found
I tell you I"m not crazy, crazy just has me for now


MALE:
There's no aphrodisiac like loneliness
From what I can understand
It explains why I'm always feeling
Like you keep slipping through my hands.
I'll be more than happy to argue my point
In another 10 or 20 years from now
But I promise, I was never crazy
It's just that crazy's got me for now....



FEMALE:
Theres just no cure for this aching inside
no switch to flip, no way to make it right
Keep reaching into our happy unending
Tormented by life, no sense in pretending
Though we keep it mostly inside somehow
I'm not crazy, crazy just has me for now



TOGETHER:
So frustrated with the situation yet nothing can change it
No way to meet in the middle, the ocean its tainted
In this nightly exchange, you and I keep testing our strength
Drowning in this ocean, emotions crashing like a tidal wave
I realized I"m not crazy there's nothing I can do....
Maybe I've always been crazy over you.



FEMALE:
I might be fooling myself
But some things ring true
Like how you're there for me
As long as I'm there for you.
I can fly free as a bird
But by your heart I'm bound
Cos I was never really crazy
But crazy can have me for now....

MALE:
I've tried to make sense of it
And I've thought other wise
And I've thought how those blue eyes
Could clear up these grey Melbourne skies
I've tried to be a dreamer
And hope hope that wishes can come true
But you can call me crazy
But I was just crazy about you.....



FEMALE:
You light up the night with your sweet face
Is it any wonder, my hearts shaking in place
Keeping these late hours upon you I feast
Feeding the the fire, while time is our priest
Reminding us that we'll have to pay for these sins
I'm not crazy, but maybe I've just always been
Crazy for you... and what I can never be
I'm crazy alright, with a capitol C

TOGETHER:
Would it just show weakness if they both gave in
How much pain can two hearts take if they did
knowing that in the end they'd have to walk away
with salty tear filled eyes, and a bitter taste
Knowing all along they were both crazy anyhow
Crazy sure got them, it sure got them somehow

♥♥ Јϋѕт Ŝсаяѕ ♥♥
♥♥ Јϋѕт Ŝсаяѕ ♥♥: BECAUSE

Another page torn, another one burned
You won't know the future till its been turned
Let go of your ego, cause I've let go fo mine
Leave me here in solitude, all I need is time
To ease the pain of this fading day
and the madness that fills my mind
Because....

I don't wanna be an after thought I don't wanna be the cause
I don't wanna be the one you run to when you get lost
I don't wanna be the secret garden in which you hide
I refuse to be the one who feeds upon your empty lies

Reaching back to turn out the lights...
I see one last vision of you as I bid good night
You'll be gone by the time I wake
No sign left of the heart you played
Moving forward, and moving on
A new me wakes with the dawn
Because....

I don't wanna be an after thought I don't wanna be the cause
I don't wanna be the one you run to when you get lost
I don't wanna be the secret garden in which you hide
I refuse to be the one who feeds upon your empty lies

♥♥ Јϋѕт Ŝсаяѕ ♥♥
♥♥ Јϋѕт Ŝсаяѕ ♥♥: CLEAN

We meet in the place where reality and fantasy collide
Daring to walk this wire, brave enough to tease the tide
No net below and the water seems so enticing
The undertow smirks, and I swear it's laughing
Waiting to take us further into its dismay
Farther from one another, slowly drifting away

Everything I ever wanted, and all I seem to need
The things I want most, love to watch me bleed
What purpose does it serve, this addiction I have
Dangling just before me, and man I want it bad
So cut to the chase, and pause this scene
What do I stand to loose, just my sanity.

We fight so hard to swim against the current
thought we were ready,but maybe we weren't
Getting weaker by the minuet, loosing faith
Tired and worn from the struggle we face
I feel our fingertips touch, as we try to reach out
reaching out for what we want, theres no doubt

Everything we ever wanted, all we'd ever need
the things we want most, love to make us bleed
What purpose does it serve, this addiction we have
Dangling just before us, we want it so bad
So cut to the chase, and pause this scene
Whats left to lose, only our sanity

Everything you ever wanted, fading into a memory
the things you wanted most, only made you bleed
Only fueled the addiction, you knew you had
Dangling just before you, do you still want it that bad
So cut to the chase, and pause this scene
What you'll lose now.... is staying clean.

No net below and the water seems so inticing
The undertoe smirks, and I swear it's laughing
Waiting to take us further into its dismay
Farther from one another, slowly drifting away

♥♥ Јϋѕт Ŝсаяѕ ♥♥
♥♥ Јϋѕт Ŝсаяѕ ♥♥: DAMNED


Barricaded by my own sins
let me out of this hell
Wake me up from this dream I'm in
let me out of myself
Save me from the demons,
that lurk inside my mind
Fill the void and emptiness
Turn back the hands of time

Maybe its to late to save me
maybe no one can
Maybe you're afraid of me
I know I am..... the damned
So cloak me in your visions
See me for who I'm not
Eventually you'll give up
and let me rot

What you see isn't always what you get
Maybe I can't sit still, maybe I don't fit
I can't change this trust me I've tried
We've been over this a million times
I am I what am nothing more nothing less
The me you see IS me at my best.

♥♥ Јϋѕт Ŝсаяѕ ♥♥
♥♥ Јϋѕт Ŝсаяѕ ♥♥: MY HALO


Well rested, but still worse for wear
the lies I fed myself, still rip and tear
Feeding the chaos isn't it half the fun
Blood shot eyes, and a half missing face
All that I've become leaves a bitter taste
these SCARS remind me, I am one!
Falling just as fast as I'm falling from grace
Trading in my halo, I don't need it these days
but feeding the chaos isn't it half the fun

Go on and get going, don't let me keep you here
Left to drown in my manifested fears
You can't save me!
I've done this to myself, I've tied my own knot
I chose to take a chance, I knew that cost
You can't save ME!
oooooo hhhhhhh... ohhhhh oh
oooooo hhhhhhh... ohhhhh oh

Trading in my halo, I don't need it anymore
Puttin down my EGO, It's time for me to go
oooooo hhhhhhh... ohhhhh oh
oooooo hhhhhhh... ohhhhh oh
Trading in my halo, I don't need it anymore
Puttin down my EGO, It's time for me to go

♥♥ Јϋѕт Ŝсаяѕ ♥♥
♥♥ Јϋѕт Ŝсаяѕ ♥♥: TELL ME

The things you see inside your mind, the places that you hide.
Only keep you from the things in which you long to find
So I tuck myself away, put my heart up on a shelf
Would hate to see you come to me askin for some help
I can't help the damned, I can't fix your pain
I can't even save myself, from my own game
Its funny how that works sometimes, as sad as it is
There's one who loves me, and for him I do not give

I've locked myself in, and I'll keep them all away
Self inflicted solitude, sure has its price to pay
Darker than the night with out a hint of moon
I'd crawl to your window, but I'd never make it through
Scars remind me, and its simply nothing new
I never mean to hurt them, and yet I always do

So tell me, is it my scars or the ones I leave behind
which scars will last, and which will fade with time
He thinks I'm unscathed, and imuned to it all
Little does he know, I break the most when I fall
So fragile from the life that seems to tear me down
My smiles just a mask I wear, to hide the clown
Only but a joke to all who pass my way
They laugh at all the crazy things I say
Nothing meaning full, nothing profound
Nothing to build on, I'm just crumbling anyhow

So I'll lock myself in, and keep them all away
Self Inflicted solitude, sure has its price to pay
Darker than the night, with out a hint of moon
I'd crawl to your window but I'd never make it through
Scares remind me, and its simply nothing new
I never meant to hurt them, and yet I always do

I never meant to hurt them
Oh I never meant to
Never meant to hurt them
No I never meant to...
NEVER MEANT TO HURT.... YOU

♥♥ Јϋѕт Ŝсаяѕ ♥♥
♥♥ Јϋѕт Ŝсаяѕ ♥♥: Every time I open my eyes
Another memory finds me
Being here with out you
only seems to remind me
I never could admit
That I needed you
So I let you go
Its all I could do

And now... I'm cryin
tryin to find my way
Breaking a little more
the farther you move away
My heart cant take it
My minds driving me crazy
I never thought I'd say this
I need you... no maybe's

I don't know why
loving you scares me
I don't know why
I can't just believe
I don't know how to
Let my fears go
I don't understand
Why I couldn't let you know


And now... I'm cryin
tryin to find my way
Breaking a little more
the farther you move away
My heart cant take it
My minds driving me crazy
I never thought I'd say this
I need you ... no maybe's

Prayin you'll turn around
and come back to me
If I could only tell you
I'd beg you not to leave
But I didn't ask you to stay
So you had to go
Boy was I ever wrong
I should of let you know

And now... I'm cryin
tryin to find my way
Breaking a little more
the farther you move away
My heart cant take it
My minds driving me crazy
I never thought I'd say this
I need you here, no maybe's

Adam_Joshua: one of my many attempts to write a good song.

"All Gone"

As he stands at the door
She falls down to the floor
Thinking
How could this happen to her

Now he's out in his car
And he knows that he took it to far
But now she's gone
It's all gone

No matter how much she cries
No matter how hard he tries
It won't change
Cause it's gone
It's all gone
Forever

She tries to get up
While he's on his second cup
This is way harder than he thought
It would be

No matter how much she cries
No matter how hard he tries
It won't change
Cause it's gone
It's all gone
Forever

She knows it's the end
But she's going to pretend
That everything is ok
But it's not

No matter how much she cries
No matter how hard he tries
It won't change
Cause it's gone
It's all gone
Forever

She begged him to let her go
But he shouted no
It would all end tonight

Now her tears are all dry
And he no longer tries
They know it won't change
Cause it's gone
It's all gone
Forever

luppy013: All this time spent wondering why
try and find a way to pacify
all the voices singing in your mind
maybe i've seen better days
watched the skyline kiss the waves
and wonder who else
this day has passed by
and oh
its a wicked cycle
and oh
its just a way to recycle
your previous emotions
while you submerge in your own ocean
pplease oh please
cant you help me make some sense
from anyone elses misery
ya anyone but me
is it really so hard to see
that half of ninety percent
of your life is a mystery
take what you want
but nothings free
so conceed to the fire within
free yourself of bitter dreams and sin
come and spend some time with me
lost inside your eyes
i love to hear your history
and forget the demons now
they never helped you
anyhow
lets build something new
we can take our time
just me and you
and if you dont
ever want to understand
i think ill be okay
because your souls still lying naked in the sand
and if i never see you
untill the final stand
i hope you can live without regret
because you made me
a better

I just wanna miss you 06/04/2012

Is it too much to ask for
Never wanted much more
Than to see you smile
Never thought you’d be gone
Oh, not for this long
But, baby it’s been a while

And I just wanna miss you
Forget that we ever kissed too
I just wanna miss you tonight
I just want to let you go
Wish I didn’t know
But we can’t make it right

Lost you to a sickness
You could never dismiss
You lost that light in your eye
Miss you with a quickness
I’ll never get this
Why you’d say goodbye

I wasn’t ready to let go
but little did I know
You were done holding on
Too much hurt in your heart
Too much time in the dark
To see another dawn

And I just wanna miss you
Forget that we ever kissed too
I just wanna miss you tonight
I just want to let you go
Wish I didn’t know
But we can’t make it right

Lost you to that sickness
That you could never dismiss
You lost that god damn fight
I’ll never get this
Why’d you have to say goodbye
Now, I just wanna miss you tonight
We can never make it right
