lyric # 1: unnamed (currently)

 Edit: credited the cowriter.

So I am sort of a lyricist. I write lyrics with Jacky in which case, they're not all very good. In fact, id say 80% of them are terrible but nonetheless, Me and Jacky will put them up if we feel like it.

So this one is my most recent one that is close to being finished. I don't usually write instrumentals to my lyrics (guitar, piano, bass, drums, etc etc). Jacky usually does that but we have gotten started on this.
I have to say, i actually do really like this lyric because i wrote it when I had an inspiration so I have to say it actually means a lot to me.

This song is not done yet. There are still lyrics to be written. In fact, it doesn't have a name yet so if you have an idea of what the title should be, leave me a comment or send me an email.

So lets see. I wrote this lyric after my most recent ex-girlfriend broke up with me. Harsh eh? Not really. She was a really great girl. Well I'm not to sure i can call her my girlfriend because it was too short. Regardless, I am not gonna go into details about this.

This song isn't necessarily about her. Yeah strange eh? See my life is heavily based on the kinds of dreams I have. See after she broke up with me, I went home and took a nap in which i had this dream that if i talked about, it would cause this post to be longer then Miley Cyrus's penis.

So without further adeu, here it is:

I wiped away these tears
I wish i wasn't here
these bloodshot eyes
The mock at my demise
I wish away this epiphany
I wished i never had to see
Your eyes
Those lies I swore to her those years ago
I'd fall in love and forget her words
I tried
I tried
I healed these scars
From my wrists
the blood dried


I'm running from this fate
Your answer's kinda late
I can't forget
That last regret
The red that i know all to well
The part of me thats in a shell
I can't
forget
The scars they faded
but the knife in my hands
they make them come alive
come alive


But it  hurts to breathe right now
Cause you left me here in this hell


You crushed my heart
I hoped to die
This angel I thought was alive
Is dead 

(and that's all i got so far. Its only about 60% finished.)

Notes: Yes this is a very "emotional" song especially because it reopens old scars.
It starts off acoustic and slowly proceeds to a post-hardcore kind of feeling. There are screams at same point near the end especially at least from what i hear in my head.

If you have any feedback or suggestions, leave in the comment section but please remember, this is a very emotional song for me so don't be too harsh. =)
