    You sound like a home-wrecking milf-lover.

    not that there isn't a niche.

    I assure you I'm not...well regularly ;)

    anyway I'm just gonna post all my lyrics I've wrote this week here as I'm feeling crazy :

    The Rain

    Unwind and continue what has just begun.
    Realise there is nothing and you'll feel better tomorrow.
    Stop asking questions and miss the end.
    Broken dreams and scented images.

    I let them down, breaking expectations.
    They barely scratch the fragments remaining from what you left.
    Worthless existence was caused by hollow tips.
    What they leave behind is the same.
    Empty shells and mental scars.

    Bury the epitome as it's only fantasy.
    Sooner than you think you will know.
    Beautiful evidence defies me.
    I'll never admit I'm wrong.

    Callow of this part the headlines glower
    You never wished for it to end in this way
    But you switched without accepting.

    A Fresh Start to Someone New.

    Half Empty
    I'm clear focused all around,
    I can keep both feet on the ground,
    I can follow the path, I can read the signs,
    Stay right with it, when the road unwinds,
    I can handle whatever I stumble upon,
    I sometimes notice when she's gone,
    The sparkle of my eyes as well.

    It's well understood that I would change if I could
    I could deal with this situation and try to make it good
    I used to survive, used to endure
    But now I just think about her.

    I'm strong enough not to hate
    They build up illusions till it makes me sick,
    I ain't afraid of confusion no matter how thick
    Smile in the face of feelings buried inside
    Can't remember what her lips felt like on mine.

    She ain't far behind in mind,
    although she may be gone from sight
    Surrounded by scratchings of emery
    Tracing her naked beauty from memory

    I can't even be sure
    If she was ever with me
    Or if I was always with her.

    I'm halfway content with my friends situation
    I'll always be there for them especially after the rain
    I'm not compromised and I don't pretend,
    Would do anything just see her smile again.

    Like an unfinished song missing the major line
    I don't cheat on myself, I don't run and hide.

    This was inspired by a Dylan song I heard a while back.

    Release
    If I could sing these words
    With all the conviction my tears show
    It made me smile- the gems of a friend
    And maybe one day you'll understand

    Analysing every word like mending a broken glass
    I sat on the fence so long, it broke tumbling to one side
    Theres no smoke without fire and I don't have a light
    Succeed in staying sober as a competition to fail

    The double tree of your symmetry
    Flower of fire, Open circle of candles,
    Inversely unhappy to the actions I take
    Comforting them as my heart slowly breaks

    I need to begin so one day it will end
    And it made me feel better to trust a friend
    Songs are never quite the answer..I hope its the way It looks
    Just a soundtrack to a life that's all over too soon.

    Talk not of love, it gives me pain;
    It is a friendship that I need now
    And they understand therefore I have it
    Just when I need it the most

    (And I trusted you
    We'll see how long it lasts)

    Understand
    Didnt ever look you straight in the eyes
    Afraid not scared of what it might imply
    Got questions I can't bring myself to ask
    If I didnt care I wouldnt be here

    You were always a star in someone elses sky, (briefly smiling).
    I was always thinking of what to say,( the next line)
    To think I'd never be good enough (for you)
    Well at least i was honest (with myself)

    Maybe he only kissed you because it was her you embraced goodnight.
    I'm tired of people asking me if I'm still alright
    A rose with hidden thorns
    But hell I'll hold it tight

    I'd swap my time waiting to win one more chance
    Your words delivered with little more than a glance
    To be trusted is a greater compliment than being loved
    Your smile might have lost its meaning but not its comfort.

    You were always a star in someone elses sky, (briefly smiling).
    I was always thinking of what to say,( the next line)
    To think I'd never be good enough (for you)
    Well at least i was honest (with myself)

    If the days werent so short we could think about this
    **** it all just judge me amiss
    Not telling the truth but I never lied
    You go and come but my world abides
    Life is like a Pearl Jam concert.....you never know what you're gonna get

    Unheard
    And every so often you make me smile
    realising that inside i bear no denial
    makes things easier; smoothing your sharp edges
    life so fucking angular with all these wedges
    quirks of nothingness are times last word
    the riot really is the rhyme of the unheard.
    bite my tongue despite your face
    words so fragile; an untied lace
    you're always too close before I realise and that's too late
    blatantly fishing for compliments you know thats what I hate
    my minds an unmade bed
    loosening that central thread
    and if i ended the beginning would there be a finishing line
    I'm sure their would although not mine
    You understand my words but not the meaning
    the technique but not the feeling
    rewrite my song every day
    their enthusiasm sways
    confide to everyone that will never know
    neglecting the only one who failed to show
    the wind whispers poetic nucances
    and i write them down
    if only for the unheard. love of you
    Life is like a Pearl Jam concert.....you never know what you're gonna get

    Untitled
    Don't try to understand because you're not me and you never will be
    Sometimes the blind ones are the ones who think they can see
    I contradict these voices I don't know
    Living my own little absurd life
    And thats fine by me.

    Slurred arpeggios reaching the peak
    the very moment where you begin to speak
    and I ignore the idealistic message you leak
    Blissfully Arrogant is the way I shall live
    I gave up trying as my mind was freed

    It's been seven years and I don't remember smashing mirrors
    Perhaps the drinking was to avoid the fear
    Last chance to say anything as I wont accept you
    And People may misinterpret my roughly spoken words
    Fine by me.
