Note: These are lyrics to a song I hope to create with my band. These lyrics will have a range of vocals singing them, for example the first 2 verses will be a kind of rapping but the chorus will be quite soft and obviously you can see so screaming will be introduced at the outrol. Anyway it's a work in process and I expect these lyrics to change at some point but for now here they are: Wondering Astray I probably should have dealt with this right from the start As the tell tale signs were dragged right out of my heart Ripped me open from inside and revealed the disguise That every day I would hide and lie about in every smile Every word I spoke, every breath I took The clock ticked away as everyone read my mind like a book Symbols and pictures told an expression of my shame A bourdon of pain I gained that I live through every day I dunno how I got it but it’s a weight on my shoulders Melting my self-esteem as my soul gets colder These symptoms are so clear and yet so vague I dunno what has force upon me this excruciating pain That I can’t even describe or decipher its cause It just leaves me here trying to find an open door I have no cure, I have no clue The only thing I have in this world is you Help me in this time of need I need you more than the air I breathe You’re so close to me yet we couldn’t be further away Into the darkness I’m wondering astray This candle is slowly fading into the night And although I’m alive, I’m losing the fight I’m getting cold, colder than a winter’s peak As I’m walking down this dark, empty street I’m crying in pain but it’s all in vein Because no one notices you when you don’t feel sane They just stare for a moment but act like they never saw it Acting like I’m the one responsible, like I’m the one who caused this And no one’s listening when I try to explain When I try to emphasize with them the extent of this pain I don’t know what it is and it’s hard to describe It’s not physical or mental; it’s just something inside It longs to know my purpose, what is my cause? The questions leave my lying here on the floor You’ve always been there to fulfil my needs But for now I have only one – to be Help me in this time of need I need you more than the air I breathe You’re so close to me yet we couldn’t be further away Into the darkness I’m wondering astray Astray…I’m wondering astray Will you find me? Will you help me? Will you soothe my pains? Will you make them go away? Will you find me? Will you help me? Will you soothe my pains? Will you make them go away? No...because you’re not fucking real! You’re not real! Real! Real! You’re not real! Real! Real! You’re not here beside me Into the darkness I’m falling further away… You'll never exist here I'm wondering astray This pain will never leave me And you’re so far away Into the darkness I’m falling I’m wondering astray…
Holeeee shite!...I luv it!...it reads extremely well and the choice of words...I'm all like OMFG!!!...I got friggin goosebumps like...a billion times...if the LPA had a *favorite* function for writer's cove this one would def. be getting faved!...
Nice piece. I really liked it. I couldn't get a hint of it referring to God, but knowing your stance on that I doubt that was the intention. Great piece overall though. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Bourdon though? Did you mean burden? And "vein" should be spelled "vain" in that context. Good job.
