Randomness
Hey!! It's my second thread! So, I was in theCrack ThreadFangirling/Fanboying Thread and was pretty depressed about my writing abilities. But then GypsyCarts verbally smacked me good and hard in the fucking face, so I will try being more courageous and post whatever random shit pops into my head.
Whether it's a story, song, or some other random idea, I'll try not to be a lazy little shit; I want to take steps to actually improve my writing so I can be proud of it again. Thanks to everyone in that thread for cheering me up and maybe getting me inspired again. That was very nice of you all.
--
Time to rehaul my opening post!!
Poems/Songs:
Spoiler:
The first thing I wrote after getting smacked awake was a song. No points for guessing what my inspiration was. It's so blatantly obvious. People riding on Train Rocket Crack should know what I'm talking about.
Spoiler:You hold me down and you hold me up
Because we're closer than brothers.
I don't need a reason to follow you,
but nobody should be alone.
I promise you we'll always be together.
Let's make a vow and share our dreams
Spending countless days and nights
Living like we'll never get old.
I want to sail away from here
because my life feels like a cage.
Outside, everything seems fine and well-dressed.
On the inside, nothing but sorrow and a heap of trash.
Before I turn of age, I'll go and live how I want.
I'll carry on the spirit of our adventures alone.
Even if we go our separate ways, I'm still here
Inside your heart; remember me now and forever.
Why did you have to disappear from me?
With my face pressed to the ground, the tears roll down.
There's nothing that can make this go back.
The sadness crushes me and I can't get up.
I swear I'm gonna get stronger and better
and greater and faster than I was before
So I won't lose anything else precious to me.
There's still something worth living for tomorrow.
Always lift your face to the sky.
Remember that it's not over.
Remember what the sun feels like on your face.
Bury your fears and let the past be a gear.
Take my hand if I hold it out to you.
I know we've got our own lives to live,
But I'm not backing down or letting go
Even if the world tries to sweep us off our feet.
I'd give my life away for you.
Bit by bit, threads are wearing thin,
But you can't break a bond so easily
No matter what stands in my way.
There is no shame in asking for a wish
Even if you kneel down in defeat,
The faces of the past and present
stand before you here and now.
Don't apologize if it's too late.
I leave my burdens behind.
Departing from this world with a smile at last
Don't let this be in vain.
Frustration wells up in my heart.
Is this just a repeat of the past?
Nothing's changed from way back when.
I'm still a kid playing in a field too big.
A wise sage said don't give it up yet.
Get going, get going on a little bit of optimism.
Today light your soul on fire.
I'll never let those sparks leave my heart.
Years from now I'll look back.
Think how far we've come!
There's a new world beyond the horizon,
And one day I'll make all our dreams come true.
Go
Spoiler:
Do you wanna go? Do you wanna know?
Do you wanna show? Do you wanna glow?
Wanna see what lies out your door?
What are you waiting for? Go!
I'm not the one who tells you right from wrong,
I'm just telling you my song!
I know that we all can die, but I'm gonna try to fly.
Try to catch a star in my hands, try to walk on clouds up above the land!!
There's no telling what we'll see, but it makes no difference to me!!
Walk on land, sail the seas!! Feel that wonderful breeze!
I'll show you now, let's sing it loud!
A tiny ship can brave any storm, just let her roam!
We may be a mischievous bunch, but treasure's waiting; I've got a hunch!
Point the way to the horizon and you will see
that the world doesn't end with me.
Shed a tear or two, but the world's far too precious to stay so blue.
Don't forget that you made yourself a goal, though your heart they stole.
Through thick and thin, we stay true.
We are comrades through and through.
Do you wanna go? Do you wanna know?
Do you wanna show? Do you wanna glow?
Wanna see what lies out your door? What are you waiting for? Go!
Stand on earth, fly through air!! Who cares if people stare?
We live our life as we want, we're so carefree and nonchalant!!
People can't believe their eyes, but who cares if what we do is wise?
We're a rowdy crew, but treasure's waiting, so adieu!!
What are you waiting for? What are you hoping for?
What more are you living for? What more are you asking for?
Step aboard, beast or man; if you've got spirit,
you can be a part of the clan!!
Bet it all on me and you will see!! We are happy and we are free!!
Step by Step
Spoiler:
Don't stop (all right all right)
Don't worry about complications ( all right all right)
You don't have to take it all the way.
Just one step at a time.
Who says nothing can get done?
You don't have to worry 'bout a thing cuz I've got your back tonight!
Doubting only takes up all the time that you have to see...
all the glory of this world.
So get up (get up) and wake up to a brand new dawn.
Feel the sun shine down down down on this face
and come with me to a place where your worries melt away!
You can't cure the world with sunshine and puppies
but loafing around all sad is no goal.
You can sit around moping
about how things won't change
or you can get up (get up)
Seek that change you want to be!!
So don't stop (all right all right)
Don't worry about complications (all right all right)
You don't have to take it all the way, just one step at a time.
Who says things can't get done?
You don't have to worry 'bout a thing cuz I've got your back tonight!
Talking only takes up all the time that you have to hear...
All the melodies of the world!
So get up (get up) and wake to a brand new symphony
Hear the angels' call from way way way up in this pretty sky.
Come with me to a place where your youth springs today!
Don't want to regret the things undone or said.
You gotta make the most and say "Seize the day"
or how can you salute to the stars with a smile
on your face and say what you did?
You never know what tomorrow equals today
but that's why you have to get up (get up)
and take this all the way!!
Just one step... at a time!!
Step by step, step by step.
You'll surely find the rainbow beyond the ribbon of sky!!! (Yeah)
The world goes on and on farther than you know!!
So take it one step by step... at a time!!!!!!
Love Sick
Spoiler:
They say your heart got stolen by a demon.
They say the world spins too fast.
Hold your breath, the end is nigh.
The day when I meet your eye.
Help me doctor, what's with me?
My sick heart just won't last.
Prescribe me pills to bring me down
'Cuz just the other day, I met an angel with a golden crown.
Why do I feel myself slipping away?
If you're a lighthouse then I'm a ship.
Wandering around like a sailor lost at sea.
Quick, send your light out to me!
Point me to a harbor in your arms.
Let me know it'll be alright.
Please, please show me a smile.
Hope you'd let me stay awhile.
Tell me what is this disease?
Afflicting all my senses like nothing before.
You make me do the craziest things.
I feel so light-headed, it gives me wings.
It's never been so clear.
You are the treasure I have found.
Won't you send me a sign?
All the stars and planets must be aligned.
I took my heart and locked it away,
but the sparkle in your eyes must have been the key.
I'm so affected by your voice.
Let's get together and make some noise.
Oh baby, let's sing it loud.
The tears I shed and the hope you bring.
If I'm a flower, then you're the gardener of my soul.
Let's pull out the weeds and make me whole.
Run, let's run to the shore!
Take my hand so you don't fall down.
Gotta let me know what you need.
Anything for you cuz I wanna set you free.
Let's set off to a magical place.
Years from now we'll get old.
But the memories of you won't fade.
With you by my side, I'm no longer afraid.
There's no telling what we'd find.
Stumbling into you was the best thing of my life.
The world can't quell my yearning.
Oh love, let's get the wheel of fortune turning.
A Lonely River
Spoiler:
Oh who wouldn't want to sail a river so wide?
I'm gonna leave and never look back
At that place where I lost my youth.
A current is changing, sweeping my little boat astray.
My lost hopes feel like stones that sink me to the depths.
No matter how many times you patch up those holes,
the water keeps rushing in. It's hard to let go of the
things which brought you so far.
You don't know what love is, and you've never had a friend.
One day I'll show you what it means to feel.
Stay with me for a night and tell me what's on your mind.
Don't walk the rocky shores alone.
There's never been a time so bitter-sweet
As the days when I smiled for real.
But I can't deny that the shadows are closing in.
My heart was made of ice, but the day I saw your smile,
I think the winter turned to spring.
If I stand up to the world and I scream my soul out
Would you accept this love of mine?
I can't grant a silent wish no matter how far I go.
Stay, stay a little bit longer.
We'll have the same old parties like we used to.
Hold on to your life and your bleeding heart.
If you entrust me with the yearning for a dream,
then maybe we can fight together.
We don't know anything at all.
Maybe we aren't meant to understand.
What I do know is that a friend is something true.
A light that beckons from the mist.
If I look away, I can't move forward anymore.
Whatever you might know, erase it with your tears.
Because the winds are facing a new direction.
Sail boat of mine keep sailing.
We can't see past the bend in the waters,
but I can see the joy reflected in our eyes.
It's enough to get me by.
Lonely river flow out to the sea!!
What were the goals you spoke of long ago?
Look up at the stars and think of me.
There's nothing in the world worth taking..
If I can't stand here with you.
Remind yourself why you're breathing.
Stop being so wound up in the past.
There's a new dawn that's breaking.
I'm gonna shake the world from its core.
So let's pick up those oars and start rowing.
Keep on Living
Spoiler:
You're always running from your past.
And you can't seem to get a clue
that the world would be less bright without you.
You haven't moved forward at all.
It's like you're running on a hamster wheel.
Getting nowhere, getting lost on a
broken-down train. What land is your destiny?
Gotta get frustrated and let loose
all the anguish and the tears.
What are you living or what are you dying for?
Scream it from the rooftops, scream it loud
so that I can hear you.
Say the words from my own heart cuz I don't
wanna stop believing in the magic of your smile.
Abandoned places and ancient books all tell a story.
Warm yourself in the rain with a smile, though it's sad,
cuz you don't wanna forget how to laugh.
"I'm not worried, I'm not scared,"
That's what you tried to say but why are you shaking?
Shaking from the core because it's not easy being you.
I don't care where you're coming from or where you were
heading to, but if you really wanna leave me,
let me send you off with a proper farewell.
I don't give a damn about these formalities or
whether the world judges my morality.
To the world you're a demon, but to me
you're my world that I walk on and breath in.
Looked at the sky for the longest time.
I ask myself what have I been doing with my life?
Gotta start living before you start dying,
This is the rhythm of our souls.
Gotta ask, gotta wonder why this can't last.
Good-bye to the old days, living in denial.
We're getting older and dying younger,
but the truth has stayed the same.
Don't let this be the end of the story.
Keep turning the pages of the last life
you were leading so the past can keep breathing.
Let's defy the world and break free.
If this is the peace of which they speak,
then I'd rather live in hell.
We're shattering the pillars of the old ways
and we're starting from the bottom.
Let's start building our foundation, let's do it together.
Reach for the stars, reach for the moon.
The shackles of the earth fall away.
We're blasting off in a rocket that can't be stopped.
Hope is the fuel of our engines in our minds.
Keep me going with a shoulder up against mine.
Good-bye to the night, hello to the dawn.
We're getting older and getting wiser,
but the goal has stayed the same.
I've spent seventeen years of my life
just staring out at the horizon,
but at last I set off with a light step.
Oh how it brings back the memories of long ago.
Let's discover a world that we've never known.
What would you be doing if we'd never met?
Destiny is strange and mixed up.
It's like a ball of yarn that keeps tangling.
Oh, who wouldn't want to walk down this road?
A road full of mystery and everything in between.
Let's paint the sky with colors, any way we want it.
Leave no stone unturned, leave it all to chance.
The way of life is grand when you roam in this band.
If I knew the secrets of the universe, I would abandon
all the wishes that I've been keeping in my heart.
With a keepsake in my arms, I will go.
So what are you waiting for?
All you need is motivation.
Optimism is quite contagious, so they say.
It keeps your blood pumping for just another day.
Wish for anything, wish on on a star.
Bet it on us and gamble it all.
There's nothing to lose and everything to gain.
One alone is tough, but together the odds just got better.
Arch-Nemesis
Spoiler:
They're the number one enemies.
Stumbled across each other one day.
They disagreed at the same time,
and look at them now!
Oh, we spend the day stealing waffles.
Hey, let's eat non-poisoned waffles together.
When you're feeling bored, you gotta have
an ice cream waffle party!!
Whenever they cross paths,
they get into silly fights
at the drop of a hat.
But then it's followed by a nap.
We don't know what we're fighting
about half the time, but that's all right!
Believe in Lazy Justice 24/7!!
One of them likes clowns and Amazon girls.
The other likes Crocs and Flamingos.
We're totally opposite on everything.
For one brief moment in time, we formed
a bond, when we supported the doctors,
but then we went back to the usual games.
One of 'em is a pharaoh, mind-crushing your soul
and the other is a sexy villain with great hair!
If you've killed me once, you've done it three more times.
Let slip a weakness now and again.
Random cute dogs and cats raining down!
Let it go on 'til the mod steps in.
Waffles! Let's have a waffle party!
We're too lazy to do much else.
Staying up watching movies is the best.
Then it's time for a nap!
It's Not Easy
Spoiler:
With each passing smile and moments shared,
I get sadder and more broken inside.
The way I feel, I can't express to you.
I'm not sure how to say goodbye.
Laughing and enjoying all these material things
won't make the real world go away.
The faces I've come to know and all the
little things about this place make me wish
I could stay here forever. That's not how life goes.
I wear a mask to hide my pain, even though my
heart feels torn between the lives I'm leading.
Not too long ago, I had a way to vent my desires.
Now it's gone and leaves an empty space.
I've been away from everything for far too long.
Now I can't seem to light a spark of life
in this empty shell, no matter where I stand.
Have I changed for better or for worse?
Maybe if I never knew paradise, being alone
wouldn't hurt so much.
I'm addicted to the sweet scent of your call.
God only knows how deep I'm digging my own grave.
The more I love, the worse the tears.
It's easy to say what's wrong with my mind.
It's not so easy to change my habits.
When you love something it's hard to replace.
Just walk away and eventually scars will fade.
Nobody ever said change was easy.
The more you know about the world, the less you hope.
I wish that I could live a life of delusion.
Pretending like I mattered to somebody.
But I know I'll just fade away in an unmarked
grave that leaves no trace.
What does it take to endure and live on?
Who can you turn to when shadows close in on your heart?
Stumbling on your knees, you take a gasp of air.
Help me understand what all this means.
I've never felt so lost or so afraid of things
I can't define.
I'm not okay, I'm not getting better.
I'm sinking faster with no compass to guide the way.
There comes a time when people grow up.
My mind is still just like a child's.
Stepping out from under the umbrella that
you've been holding is the last move I want to make.
The rain, it chills me to the bone.
What were you looking for anyway?
The warmth of my dreams dissolves in the mud.
You haven't even started living and I know it's not easy.
Even if it could be worse, it's not a solution.
All the kindness and all the support in the world
can't move my feet great distances.
In the end, a person's gotta walk on their own.
I wish I could tell you that it's not over.
I want you to know that I love you all.
It's not that I don't care, it's just that I'm angry.
Where have the days gone and what have I done?
Time never stops for anyone, not even God.
Why does the world seem less bright?
My innocent soul has been wandering for ages.
Alone in the dark, I lie down without a sound.
In my mind I could grow wings and nobody
would tell you about the fall.
I wish that a hug could be felt through the wires.
I want you to know that I haven't forgotten.
If you never see me again, life goes on.
A place of no beginning and end awaits me.
Could say that I'm sorry but it's not good enough.
My selfish desires make me disgusted with myself.
There's nothing I have left except broken promises.
I take things for granted and can't stop the feeling.
Life is not a story book and inspiration isn't enough.
You can talk all you want about dreams, but
a brother once told me that you have to leap.
I felt like a conversation is one I haven't had in years.
Yearning for contact more than you know.
I used to be fine drifting alone.
Once you taste desires you can't live without it.
I'll tell you, my friend, you can't be replaced.
That's why it's not easy to say good-bye.
Withhold all your frustration and anger.
Put on a smile and nobody would know.
I'd tell myself I won't look back to the cause,
but my feet won't obey the signs that are pointing.
My mind is so twisted, just who am I kidding?
Why would anyone want me here?
This is not the way I wanted to be.
I can't stop whining to the empty air.
Spending your days cringing in fear is not life.
Even a walking corpse could do better.
Let yourself go. Let this all fade away.
There's nothing on the other side.
One small drop of light is a barrier to darkness.
Is it a blessing or a curse?
Death is not the place you thought it would be.
Mysteries surround you and the drums keep beating.
Running or walking makes no difference.
This clock in your heart keep ticking down.
Say Hello to Doom
Spoiler:
Yesterday, yesterday I was sweating out all my pores.
Just letting you know how hard it can get
when you're looking for your fix.
Everything you thought you knew just makes things worse.
Oh, don't you know what it's like standing at the top of the world?
Enjoy the peace before the storm and don't let go!
Look into my eyes and see the universe implode on itself.
One day we're all gonna kick it and die. Oh yes, we're gonna die!
Had a bad day or two but it doesn't matter for shit
when all the world is crumbling and breaking apart.
Oh, get out the door and look, the sky is falling!
Tidal waves are rising, so we better learn how to swim.
We're gonna start rioting and fighting in the streets.
Throughout the city the flames get higher and all
the while, the situation's getting more dire.
Go tell your best friend that you love 'em.
Give your worst enemy a hug.
Say your prayers or curse to the empty air,
but the pendulum keeps swinging.
Maybe I can learn what I needed all along.
Strings unraveled and the party's getting started.
How's your life going as you find it ending?
What's up with the ashes falling like snow?
Got up this morning to find the same scene.
The end of the world is the best thing of my life.
If it's just a dream, don't wake me up.
I've never had so much fun in all my life.
Let's give a toast to foolish days.
Hope to see you again on the other side.
Panic spreads like a virus, but I don't give a damn.
We're all just specks adrift on the wind.
The monuments we built come crashing down.
Let's dance to the end of our species.
Haven't we had a good run?
Sayonara, world! Have fun without us.
We're the best and the worst of friends.
Hoping to let me down gently, but
leave my feet up in the sky.
Oh, don't you know the world is stationary?
Relish all the excitement if you want to.
I know where I'll be tonight.
Up on the observatory, there's a path up to the stars.
Get ready, get set; we're leaving.
Do I finally get some wings?
Good-bye to our saviors, and hello to our doom.
No need to be so uptight, my friend.
Isn't this the best night of your life too?
