lead on

Empty wishes
No premonitions
Seeking moments
To rain upon us
Lacking freedom
Gives us no meaning
We’re still searching
But are we learning

Past mistakes
Arise again
They drag us down
Blocking forsaken dreams
Overlooking
The straight and narrow
The path is not hidden
Why can’t we see
The way is known
Why can no one lead

Crossing lines
So overdone
If this is evolution
Where did we all come from

We’re still waiting
We’re still wasting
We’re still looking
For the easy way out
The only thing I enjoy is having no feelings....being numb rocks!

And I won't make the same mistakes
(Because I know)
Because I know how much time that wastes
(And function)
Function is the key

    I really like this one. It just feels very real and applicable to everybody. Eventually though, you would hope that people would stop letting their past drag them down by learning from their mistakes and changing, but that takes effort and like you said everyones looking for the easy way out (no such thing)
  • Will you watch
    Pounding into the ground
    Can you stand
    I see you ignoring
    How can you just stand around
    Little breathes
    Something we so leave unappreciated
    What ones would give for half our lives
    Never let these moments slip
    Privilege is not for all
    Don’t ignore what you hold
    Though it has been handed to you
    It’s still a privilege
    Not your right

    what a nice piece.
    K-The lost will do their best to get home, if they are loved. To our soldiers who have given what they had.

  • Speak all those humble words
    Rise up
    Take the pedestal
    Say your bit
    Speak your mind
    Open up
    Bleed your words

    Living words
    What do they mean
    Are they true
    Do you believe
    Can you practice
    Or just stand and preach
    See lips moving
    But I don’t believe

    Washing the world
    Spreading the word
    Soap box dreams
    Is penance ever paid
    For the words that you mistreat
    The only thing I enjoy is having no feelings....being numb rocks!

    move on

    You keep on moving
    How is it that you carry on
    You keep on hoping
    What provides you vision
    Give a glimpse
    Maybe I can join along

    I see the shadows
    Symbols outlined in gray
    You see the middle
    Everything held within
    I see a border
    Can’t seem to find my way in
    You swim on shores
    It’s just the natural life you’ve lived

    I see some signs within your guiding light
    Only now I wish that I could read
    They put them up you smash them down
    Reconstruction deconstruction with all the passion you give
    Resurrection from imperfect from all the visions that you live
    The only thing I enjoy is having no feelings....being numb rocks!

    Good read depop! I especially like the lines above. I have found that often times I personally have experienced people who preach but don't help when it comes right down to it. We are to do, not just say, not if we are trying to spread love... :)

    I really like this one alot depop. Great read! I believe in living and being true and real to yourself and others - living what you believe. Great faith and compassion as a choice can yield more than you can expect. Many hardships can be a fantastic teacher and loving without expecting in return. What if we helped people because we really were thinking about them and not ourselves or how we could benefit? When they stumble loving them anyway and forgiving them when they are sorry and truly letting it go, not judging them but giving them a loving helping hand if they need it. The people who hide or build walls to keep others out are the ones that need love the most, those are the ones with the greatest internal hurts that keep them trapped in darkness. If only people realized their value and how much good they can do, opening up their minds and their hearts to something bigger than just themselves...the box wasn't meant to live in, only to die in...how can a bird soar when trapped in a cage... :)

    MODEST MOUSE LYRICS

    "Float On"

    I backed my car into a cop car the other day
    Well he just drove off sometimes life's ok
    I ran my mouth off a bit too much oh what did I say
    Well you just laughed it off it was all ok

    And we'll all float on ok
    And we'll all float on ok
    And we'll all float on ok
    And we'll all float on any way well

    Well, a fake Jamaican took every last dime with that scam
    It was worth it just to learn from sleight-of-hand
    Bad news comes don't you worry even when it lands
    Good news will work its way to all them plans
    We both got fired on the exactly the same day
    Well we'll float on good news is on the way

    And we'll all float on ok
    And we'll all float on ok
    And we'll all float on ok
    And we'll all float on alright
    Already we'll all float on
    Now don't you worry we'll all float on
    Alright already we'll all float on
    Alright don't worry we'll all float on

    And we'll all float on alright
    Already we'll all float on
    Aliright don't worry even if things end up a bit to heavy
    We'll all float on alright
    Already we'll all float on
    Alright already we'll all float on
    Ok don't worry we'll all float on
    Even if things get heavy we'll all float on
    Alright already we'll all float on
    Don't you worry we'll all float on
    All float on



    :D


    you can almost make a poem out of these poem's titles, alone :)

    keep it up! the second one's my favorite.. specially this part:

    Will you watch
    Pounding into the ground
    Can you stand
    I see you ignoring
    How can you just stand around
    Little breathes

  • depopulationINCdepopulationINC Posts: 2,074
    rave on


    Put my faith back in something
    Into something that I can feel
    Relinquish mind in something
    Don’t want to
    I can’t follow blind

    I don’t want to lead
    To something when I’m running blind
    I’ve got to have reason
    Something to get me to step in line
    Got to have a reason
    Something more than a feeling
    Something that makes me stand up and shout out loud
    That I can’t walk away from
    Something surpassing all shadow of doubt

    Do you see a reason
    Is there something that makes you feel so strong
    Show me something more to believe in
    Show me something that I can put my hands on
    The only thing I enjoy is having no feelings....being numb rocks!

    And I won't make the same mistakes
    (Because I know)

    It’s time to step up
    It’s time to put up
    It’s time to show up
    And force these fuckers out on the run
    I wanna show you
    I wanna own you
    I wanna hang you
    And show you how this world is really run

    Go on Go on Go on
    Show me what you really like
    Go on Go on Go on
    The way you want me to
    Go on Go on Go on
    Describe your feelings through and through
    Go on Go on Go on
    Show me what you really like

    Oh
    So
    So you don’t like the way you feel, yeah
    Oh
    And
    And you think I aim to mistreat you
    Oh
    Hey
    It really doesn’t matter
    This is the way it is
    Go on Go on Go on
    I’ll let you know when I feel I’m done
    Go on Go on Go on
    Go on Go on Go on

    Oh you don’t really wanna own you
    No there’s no way you can prove true
    Go on Go on Go on
    It’s my time
    It’s my place
    It’s my life
    I’ll decide exactly how your run

    Go on Go on Go on
    I’ll show you
    I’ll have my fun
    Go on Go on Go on
    It’s my way
    It’s my right

    Nothing has to change
    There’s nothing here that says we’ll end up with our way
    What says things have to sway
    Opinions are the burden of a man who’s mind’s constrained

    Oh I see the passion
    Yes it may all be in vain
    And I know there’s reason
    Why so many reach out for the same
    Yeah I see motivation
    To see our lives lived out a better way
    And I sense believing
    But there’s nothing for sure today

    I know
    There doesn’t have to be a sense
    That leads away from solitude
    I know
    That many here are grieving
    But there’s nothing I can really do
    I know
    So many keep on trying
    But are we willing to follow it all the way until it’s through

    My mind it makes me
    Think about these little things
    The ones that rely on reason
    That don’t bring whimpers
    Even when I stumble up upon the roots

    Sneaking up upon me
    Leading me
    Which way leads me to the truth
    Did I fall
    Did I brush myself
    Am I clean
    Are my memories void of what I’ve never seen

    What connects
    What links us to
    What hides away
    What breaks on through
    What’s inside
    What leads on
    What can we see
    What are we willing to

    Do the fears begin to fade
    When reality is very comforting
    Can we set our minds at bay
    When we realize we’ve given everything
    Does it cause an ease
    Knowing that didn’t really provide us anything
    The only thing I enjoy is having no feelings....being numb rocks!

    And I won't make the same mistakes
    (Because I know)
    Because I know how much time that wastes

    What the heck, I will post another couple:




    Falsified
    Forgone
    Freedom

    What now rings
    What now tolls
    I once heard some chiming
    That has not been here in quite a while
    And what now will the future bring
    I do wish that it wasn’t so clear
    How I love these temptations
    Drawing discontent ever so near
    Maybe a dead-end will cause retraction
    Wiping the tables clear
    Maybe undaunting footsteps will bring something else
    Thrust evolution
    Something more than what is drowning in our tears
    Trusting in the progress of man
    Leaves me weeping
    Leaves my head lowered into my hands

    But I can not tolerate
    Standing here and watching this
    May not do many things right
    Just aiming for something less than what already here
    Just need something
    Begging for something
    To tame what the future brings
    A little potential
    Glimmering hope
    To bring us some lesser things

    Bittersweet revelations
    Realizing no master plan
    Give in to this world
    Another to follow the lead of a weaker man
    The only thing I enjoy is having no feelings....being numb rocks!

    And I won't make the same mistakes

    With no feeling
    Am I numb
    Am I breathing
    Have I come undone
    It all seems senseless
    What is the point
    Am I living
    Is this life

    I’ve been hiding, in deeper holes
    I’ve stopped shaking, done growing cold
    Upside
    I’ll see it through
    I’m not trying
    Not living too
    Walking zombie
    Unconscious to pain
    It’s not hurting
    I’m numb once again

    Insincere conclusion
    Delusions of where it all began
    Former moments
    Miss recalled time and time again
    Fictionary pissing
    Of a life that’s not to blame
    The only thing I enjoy is having no feelings....being numb rocks!
