BAM UPDATE AFTER 3 MONTHS

I am out of time
And it looks like I fucked up again
unfulfilled promises that were meant to last
but ended with the shattering of happiness

(Chorus) You've had way to much practice with this
And yet with this in my mind
I still let you into my heart
Hoping for a chance in making a change

Why can't I just get this through my head
You were much too good for me
For such a simpleton like me
Who had fallen under the witch's spell
With no sign of breaking this curse

(Chorus) You've had way to much practice with this
And yet with this in my mind
I still let you into my heart
Hoping for a chance in making a change

Your name had became a taboo to me
But trying to scratch your name out of my memories
Proved to be way too much for me to handle
This impact you've made still continues to exist
With no sign of eradication

(Chorus) You've had way to much practice with this
And yet with this in my mind
I still let you into my heart
Hoping for a chance in making a change

Then I realized that... (Deep down on the inside x2)

(Chorus) You've had way to much practice with this
And yet with this in my mind
I still let you into my heart
Hoping for a chance in making a change

Then I realized that deep down on the inside.
I'd do it again just to see you smile.

You're getting better, KD. I think this one is fantastic. It feels like I'm really starting to understand your thoughts more these days.

[kdowns]

I don't know if that is a good or bad thing! O.o

And Thank you

Good Guys finish last
Bad Guys finish first
But you can never finish
Something that you've never started.

(Chrous)
Left alone by myself in isolation
My thoughts constantly eating me alive
I've got no where left to hid
No where to run.
It's time to face things head on

You'd never believe it when I said I never tried
When I tried everything on you
With a cold brush of reality
You destroyed everything in a single instant.

(Chrous)
Left alone by myself in isolation
My thoughts constantly eating me alive
I've got no where left to hid
No where to run.
It's time to face things head on

It's time to give it all up
You'd never get a second chance
To royally fuck my life over
It's time to say Good-Bye
Is the hardest thing anyone can hear

(Chrous)
Left alone by myself in isolation
My thoughts constantly eating me alive
I've got no where left to hid
No where to run.
It's time to face things head on

No where to run.
It's time to face things head on

[NiggaPlz]

i didnt think that people would make a thread like this is it ok to share some of my songs to you

[kdowns]

I have so many things to tell you
but I cannot find the words to say it.
Can you feel it?
This heart that beats for you and only you.

-Chrous-
I am giving up on caring for people.
Who can never return the favor.
Laying it all on the table
and having it shoved in my face (Shoved in my face)


You've got me right where you want me.
In the palms of your hands, Just waiting for your approval.
Your Love is all that I ever wanted.
Just to escape from this Endless Abyss
That my Heart has Captivated me in.

-Chrous-
I am giving up on caring for people.
Who can never return the favor.
Laying it all on the table
and having it shoved in my face (Shoved in my face)

I am walking out of this door
Escaping this abyss On my own
Not waiting for any help from anyone
It's time I did something for myself
And escape the restraints of myself.

-Chrous-
I am giving up on caring for people.
Who can never return the favor.
Laying it all on the table
and having it shoved in my face (Shoved in my face)

This is who I really am.
Can you judge me for something you've molded me into
Breaking the mold
Is all that I have left to do for myself
Then I can be myself again

-Chrous-
I am giving up on caring for people.
Who can never return the favor.
Laying it all on the table
and having it shoved in my face (Shoved in my face)

I wrote this to escape - when I felt trapped and became depressed.

When, it doesn't work out the way you want - original, writing by me.

Can't call it a song... I think.... but whatever. The () are supposed to be pauses or short pauses in the verse and its supposed to be read straight through. The style for this that i envisioned is more like Frank Ocean's song - thinking about you forever.

Truth is I...

Gave it my best and walked away from you but... (It)

Was sincerity when (I)

Wished you the best and I still do, for you, a world thats open, happy and joyful but ... (I)

Thought I could handle it and be fine being myself (without you) but it was... (a)

Lie, I realized far too quickly that I’m lost and lonely (without you)....

(I) Went through downs and ups over (you)

(I) Didn't want to tell you (That)

It was the hardest pain I went through... (De)

Pression hit me before I knew (I)

Would feel it, flowing from straight through

(Those) Were the hardest days for me, I never told you

(My) Tears flowed down - with waves of strong emotions.

(No) I don’t blame you. If you didn’t leave the future would have been wide as an ocean (So Open).

Reality, fact or fiction - wherever my mind was put to, it could not (escape you)

(I)... just couldn’t get over you. (Realization)

(Time) Was taking too long to heal and I couldn't hide it, So (I)

Turned to friends for advice, even so, understanding - the heart only hears what it wants to, its really selfish.

* Silence *

(My) body injected me with a drug, to save me

(It) Feels like an anesthetic - novacane flows through me and chilled out the emotions (I)

Had for You -

(My) Body shut off what my mind failed to do and (I)

Needed this salvation... to be me, myself again.

(I) Left the future possibilities open, maybe the closed doors will be open once more (And)

We’ll start out as being friends again.

Truth.



------- After thoughts

Hope you guys enjoy this writing. I really haven't wrote anything in a long whiles, it been sometime. When the idea for this first came to me, thoughts were just flying around in my head .

However, I couldn’t remember all the words that came to me first nor the flow and it was a mistake to not right it down. Still wanting to express myself, I started off from scratch trying to remember how it should be. Thanks for reading.

V1
Jonas came from another town
Looking to settle down
Been travelling for all his life
Just to chase his dream
But dreams can’t be caught, and battles can’t be fought
If you don’t have a friend beside you
And time’s ticking down, no time to mess around
You need to find out what to do

R1
You need to
Run away, far away
Until you reach tomorrow
You need to understand
That all that’s left is regret and sorrow
Don’t look back, don’t hold back
Give it all you’ve got
You need to understand
It has to be more than a thought

V2
Jonas came from another town
Spoke a different tongue
He didn’t know what he had to do
While he still was young
His dreams weren’t caught, no battles were fought
He had no friend beside him
The time was ticking down, he had no time to mess around
He never, found out what he had to do

R2
He had to
Run away, far away
Until he reached tomorrow
He had to understand
That all that’s left would be regret and sorrow
Don’t look back, don’t hold back
Give it all he got
He had to understand
It had to be more than a thought

V3
Jonas now is old and alone
With no aspirations
And if you have no friend of your own
Let him be a part of yours

R3
Together you can
Run away, far away
Until you reach tomorrow
You can, understand
That all that’s left is regret and sorrow
Don’t look back, don’t hold back
Give it all you got
You will, understand
It’s so much more than a thought

It's in an early stage, need to switch some of it up a bit, remove some and add a bridge but that's how it looks after the first writing. ^^,

It's supposed to be played in D#m
(verse - D#b, Bb, C#, G#)

Or something like that. :3
