    This is a song I wrote about five months ago. I found it lying about on my hd and was surprised at how good it read, so I thought I'd share.


    "Reality"

    Find me a quiet place
    Somewhere all alone
    So I can sit and think
    About these things
    That won't me leave me alone
    Try and get away from the everyday
    And things it brings to mind
    Reminding me of my memories
    And how it hurts inside

    (Building sand castles out of air
    To remind myself that I'm still here
    I feel the fear coming from out of me
    I'm so afraid of my reality)

    Feeling a serious lack of vision
    Cause I don't do much than
    Sit around about the house
    And worry myself away
    Voices from my past
    I hear them whispering
    Reminding me of yesterday
    And all I could have been

    Build a wall around myself
    So I can keep me here
    And keep the memories without
    Then there's no reason to fear
    I'm afraid of what I think
    And all it means to me
    I wish sometimes I could hide
    From this reality

    Wish there were someone else
    Who could relate to me
    To what I feel everyday
    Try to sedate and drown this pain
    But it never works, I only feel the same
    I need to run away and never look back
    Anything just to get away from the wreckage of my past

    (Seeing the hate for my past I place inside
    Realizing there's only one place to hide
    Retreating to a place deep within me
    To escape from my reality)

    Build a wall around myself
    So I can keep me here
    And keep the memories without
    Then there's no reason to fear
    I'm afraid of what I think
    And all it means to me
    I wish sometimes I could hide
    From this reality

    (I've been here before so many times
    Going back again to the place inside
    Retreating to this fortress inside of me
    A place where I could bide my time
    And hide from my reality
    There's more to life than hiding inside
    And ignoring what's going on outside
    But if I withdraw then I'll fall
    To these memories again
    Feel like I'm stuck in a tunnel
    With darkness at both ends
    Will this reality ever make me happy?
    For now I can only pretend)

    Build a wall around myself
    So I can keep me here...

    Usually I get inspired from other songs, or feelings I've had or are happening to have while I'm writing the song. I try and write all my songs so that people can relate to them, and as such they are usually all about things that people can relate to.
