A Life worth living for
Heres some lyrics that ive recently got into a state that I'm happy(ish) with. If anyone fancies putting some notes to it or working on it with me i'd be eternally gratefull (well.. i dont plan on living for eternity.. i couldnt stand that many wrinkles...).
Some of you may notice that some of my lyrics seem to have a similar story line/subject/feeling.. all I can say is that, for now, i need to get them out of my system. I am on the mend after a period of major depression (2 years+ on the bloody tablets) but am getting the better of it now.. and this place offers a vehicle for me to get some of the issues out of my head. Not all my works are the same.. for instance i'm working on a song with a chorus that goes like..(just to prove i can do it!)
My whole bodies rocking,
Theres nothing i can do,
My heart beat's the baseline,
But the melody's all you.
Which is more upbeat than the few ive posted here so far.. but thats for another day.. for now.. heres my latest humble offering..
A life worth living for
--------------------
In the darkest corners of my mind,
Are the memories that i left behind,
With the feelings,
That i just put to one side,
I just left them there over the years,
Building hurt and bottled tears,
Till one by one
Bits of me slowley died.
All i want is to be set free,
Of the baggage bottled up inside of me,
Of the feelings
I dont want round me anymore,
Cant somebody please take away,
The pain i carry through
each and every day,
And make this life,
One thats worth living for.
Lovers came and went, heartbreak too,
All put on the shelf underneath you,
Some pain time,
just dosn't seem to fade,
At night when i cant take anymore,
When the deamons of my past
come knocking on my door,
I hide alone,
In this nightmare that ive made.
All i want is to be set free,
Of the baggage bottled up inside of me,
Of the feelings
I dont want round me anymore,
Cant somebody please take away,
The pain i carry through
each and every day,
And make this life,
One thats worth living for.
Now looking back i can clearly see,
All the memories are, of you recently,
Of your smile, your laugh,
Your joy to be around.
Yet each time i look i just get hurt more,
How much heartache must a man endure,
A treasured life with you
Is Six feet underground.
All i need is you to set me free,
release this baggage from inside of me,
Surround me with loving feelings,
forever more,
Only you could sooth the pain,
Clear the skies and dry the rain,
Making this life,
A life worth living for.
Much time has passed, the years rolled on
All my pain and angers gone,
I think of you and wonder,
Do you do the same,
For deep inside the fire burns,
The body aches and the heart still yearns,
In my sleep
I still call out your name.
All i need is you to set me free,
release this baggage from inside of me,
Surround me with loving feelings,
forever more,
Only you could sooth the pain,
Clear the skies and dry the rain,
Making this life,
A life worth living for.
Making this life,
A life worth living for.
