Aren't You Curious?

Well, I haven't written anything in a while.. (on here) school being ..well school. I hate it.
Well this song in untitled so far.. ill change that when i get a title..

So, this song is about, well more From the perspective of a soldier, in my mind it seems better to think of it as a soldier form WWI or WWII (and to put yourself in their shoes) the imagery impressed in your mind will be greater that way.

Anyway, its about a morning after not sleeping cause you fear for your life, being camped in enemy territory, and then things going terribly wrong, having horrible memories, and coming to the conclusion, you want out. your friends just died, and this is not fair.. then just lying there horribly wounded and you cant remember anything but the screams of children and those you have killed, then it is the end, and you wonder what it would be like if you could try everything again.

Aren't You Curious?





Daybreak comes and we have not slept
The smoke comes with morning light
The bombs crash down as the buildings fall
The fields are gone, They're just trenches now
Body's strewn across the ground

My mind is numb but so awake
The sound of gunshots, my knees fall to the dust
I awoke to find myself in tears
Not a soul, no voices, silence
Just the echo of my fears

Let me out, My friends are gone
I'm lying here, I'm the only one
Let me out, This is not right
Let me out.
I am done.


The screams of children in the air
It's all I remember, this is not fair
I see the light break through the smoke
The deepest red ... like all the blood I have shed


Let me out, My friends are gone
I'm lying here, I'm the only one
Let me out, This is not right
Let me out.
I am done.


I'm sorry to say, this is the end
I wish we could start all over again

Aren't You Curious?

Twenty-Three Below.

hello hello!
it is 5:57 am right now.. and i have still not gone to bed.
yes I am insane I know.
just tonight I saw this amazing songwriter named SHEVY SMITH. check out her songs on her MYSPACE>

So, I have been super down lately, all I wanna do it play shows with my band! I cant wait to get back this summer, I have 2 songs that I have to write.. (joke songs. of course.)
well, anyways, here is an old lyric for ya, I wrote this one on a plane.. the stewardess got kinda angry.. cause I took my guitar out and started writing a song. but hey inspiration waits for no one.. even if its 1 am any you are on a plane.. ha. so, this song is about this girl I have an enormous crush on.. she is in california, so I was flying away from Cali to Minnesota, and I really really missed her, I wrote this song.. so. It's begins on a plane, the main part of the song is about being in freezing cold weather but not "being" cold. and Then Not being able to wait to get back to be with her..
too bad she has no idea i like her.. BLAST.
so without saying another word:



Twenty-Three Below




Thirty thousand feet above the ground
Lights shining all around
I can't seem to find how
To get your smile out of my mind

The seven wonders can't compare
With your beauty so fair
Everything about you wild
My favorite color is your smile

Temperature says its twenty-three below
I can't seem to find a way to be cold
With thoughts of you running through my mind.

I can't wait to return to those shores
Stand bare feet in the sand
Watch the sun fade away
With your hand, your hand in mine

Temperature says its twenty-three below
I can't seem to find a way to be cold
With thoughts of you running through my mind.

Temperature says its twenty-three below
I can't seem to find a way to be cold
With thoughts of you running through my mind.

We'll run around without any shoes
We will act like fools
We'll skip across those California shores
And watch everyone fade away

Temperature says its twenty-three below
I can't seem to find a way to be cold
With thoughts of you running through my mind.

Tonight.

HEllo.
so this is more or less a love song.
i know the title is used a lot these days but hey its ok i wrote it a while back, before everyone started using it.. people seem to like it.. its a pretty decent song. but it depicts how i was feeling at that moment in time. so.. ya. hmm that was short. so here ya go.
i just finished it like 4 seconds ago, the last bridge is brand new. mmm.



Tonight.

As the Rain falls...
Falls Down on us..
The Ground beneath me Shakes,
The sound of thunder follows you.

I don't wanna fall asleep tonight,
I don't wanna hear you say goodbye,
I just want you here.
Tonight.

As the clouds Roar..
Thoughts of you caress me,
As I;m sitting here alone...
in the dark.

I don't wanna fall asleep tonight,
I don't wanna hear you say goodbye,
I just want you here.
Tonight.


As my soul explodes
Like Rockets from my heart
My stillness is driving me mad
Cause the stars are dancing tonight, so why can we

cause

I don't wanna fall asleep tonight,
I don't wanna hear you say goodbye,
I just want you here.
Tonight.
