De's new songs 2

Post by InnocentDe »

This is bout a friend of mine... he died, but it's how I feel bout him.
13: We're still crying

What can I do
to ease your pain?
Can you still feel it?
I did nothing to stop the rain
now it covers us all-and-

Were you there to see her tears
-and- we're still crying
Did it hurt to die
-when- you spend your whole life dying?

Hello?
Can you hear me?
You sound so far
away-hello?
I miss you near me
can you please tell me
is it better-is it better- where you
are?

Was it a waste to live for us
and not us for you?
Do you still abhore us
for letting you go through
the reain alone?

Hello?
Can you hear me?
You sound so far
away-hello?
I miss you near me
can you please tell me
is it better where you are?-and-

Were you there to see her cry
-and- we're still cryinga
Did it hurt to die
-when- you spend
when you spend your
when you spend your whole life your whole life
dying?
whoah, we're still crying

Well, this one's for a friend of mine, too. He's really a great guy, but he takes everything in on himself, like me. and it's really not his fault the stuff that happens, but he feels guilty.
15: Not your fault

Little boy-
you've flown too far
take a look around you
Superman-
take my hand
and let me ground you
Cause it's been
so hard
to stay up there
I know-
you've been feeling guilty and
it's not fair

I feel like a burden to you
extra weight on fragile heart
you don't believe but i do
and it's not your fault

It's not your fault,
trust me, he was already gone
And it's okay,
I wouldn't have it any other way

I've got my
arms out,
and I'm
trying to catch you
Cause you keep
falling into
the river of confusion

You're stuck in my illusion
and it's not fair
when you came into the confusion,
we were already there

Little boy-
it'll be alright
Superman-
get it all out tonight
I know,
you've got more important things to do,
you may not believe, but I do

I feel like a burden to you
extra weight on fragile heart
you don't believe but i do
and it's not your fault

It's not your fault,
trust me, he was already gone
And it's okay,
I wouldn't have it any other way

She stands/ in the rain/
always outside looking in/
trying to hide her pain/
trying to find your sin/
with a shiver and a tear/
it's everything you've feared-

I'm sorry your friend died, and I hope you don't take this personally or anything, but your rhymes just seemed forced....
I faced death. I went in with my arms swinging. But I heard my own breath and had to face that I'm still living. I'm still flesh. I hold on to awful feelings. I'm not dead... My chest still draws breath. I hold it. I'm buoyant. There's no end.

I kno it's not 1 of my better works, but I owed it to danny to post it. And both of those came from my sybconscious. pent up guilt about his death, and guilt about my other friends feelings, u kno? I heard this one one nite in my head and wrote it down.
