What you say
They’re all lies
I can see in your cold dark eyes

What you say
Hypnotize
Just to see what the world buys

I don’t need your gossip
You never tell the truth
Speaking to pass the boredom
You life has become aloof
I don’t respect what you say
Cant follow your belief
Hide all you want inside
Burry the storm beneath

What you say
Its dramatized
Why must you go to that place just to hide

What you say
They’re all lies
Don’t you think its about time to realize

Can not take another word
Floating upon that anger
Doing nothing that your told
You have become a stranger
When I say believe me
Honesty is what I bring
But when you say the same
It doesn’t mean a thing

What you say
They’re all lies
I can see right through your thin disguise

What you say
They’re all lies
I can see in your cold dark eyes
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

    same here!
    You ask me to enter
    But then You make me crawl
    And I can't be holding on
    To what You got
    When all You've got is hurt
    ----
    Underneath this smile lies everything
    All my hopes and anger, pride and shame

    One of the best poems I've read on here in awhile.
    I shouldn't have to fight a battle I'll never win, just to lose those I've never had.

    very depressing. I have really felt like this before. It was the worst time in my life, so to think of someone enjoying it is very depressing.

    a valid point, but there is also something to be said for ignoring the world if it bothers you. I am not saying I am a hermit or anything, but I am saying that peoples attitudes towards me will shatter me. Nor will it build me up. I respect the words of friends, but as for many people...no. I respect your opinion, but dont get me wrong...I feel, I care, I just wont be crushed by others

    ok, if you mean you won't be affected by the (negative) things people say to you, then that is cool. I think I got the wrong vibe from it cos it says "the only thing I enjoy" like that is what your life consists of, at least the comfortable part.

    btw, I showed this song to the band, and while I dont overly like it, they want to record it. I made some minor changes, just to make it flow a bit

    I enjoyed reading that, depopulationINC. I thought it read like lyrics and as I read the comments, I see that you said your band wanted to record it. I think it'll make a good tune, thanks for sharing! :)

    we tried recording this. We are having some differences of opinion. I want it light, I would actually like it to the point of a near 'unplugged'. They want to play heavy through it.

    :) Hmmmm, you guys could compromise!? Switch back & forth between light & heavy, maybe.

    - sung softly with a light & acoustic feel, then music builds & gets heavy

    - this is sung all heavy (maybe screamed)and raw and then the music changes back to the acousticy feel for the chorus...

    I like this one too. It does read like a song.

    Hey, thanks for the feedback enlightened. Uber idea. I think that may work.

    Twin, I actually right most of my poetry as lyrics...or the intension of being lyrics. I always have a specific beat in my head when I start on something. Thanks for seeing that tough... :)
