If you are the moon, then I am a star,
You christened me that,
You said I was a star shining underground, Stolen words but they were special to me,
Was that a moment of clarity for you or one of dreadful confusion?
In that moment did you understand the depth of my feelings for you?
In that moment did you understand my position?
I could be the girl, maybe not capable of taming you but I could try save you, If you could save me.
In this universe, stars dance around you, I dance by myself.
Drawn to you like a moth to a flame.
You, the powerful one, the burning light, only sometimes willing to watch me dance for you,
Willing to warm me with your light, for a while,
But if I get too close, I will get burnt,
So I flutter around you.
When your light is hidden behind clouds, I dance with the other stars but I'm always waiting for you to reappear and light up this dark sky.
I understand these confusing steps I dance.
I want only you but I am not even sure of my desire for you.
To protect myself from the others i focus only on you while you enjoy the sparkle of all the other stars.
But i understand, you didn't ask for this.
Hey Snowbaby, I'm new to this site and I love your lyrics from both songs this one has a beautiful flow to it and it has a hell of a lot of potential. it already kicks ass as a poem.

Hey Guys,
everyone that has posted lyrics are awesome there is a lot of talent.
I thought i'd post a song from my band it was the first (and only one completed) so please any feed back would be cool.

It aint gonna be me

Need time
need some distance.
Great pain
and great resistance.
I was beggin you to stay,
it could never be that way.

You made me see the end of light
my best friend, that same night.
you think I'll cry
you think I'll fall
you think I'll crumble, cause of it all.

Chorus.

Who said it aint gonna be me
Thats standin here in darkness of sorrow
Who said it aint gonna be me
That's missin' you when your gone tomorrow
I said it aint gonna be you
Who leaves me when your through
I said it aint gonna be me
That's a victum of your love so blinding

I think
I've given all I got
that been said you want more
I'm strong enough,
this you'll see.
why cant you just let me be.

you made me see the end of light
our trust destroyed, in just one night
you think I'll cry
you think I'll fall
you think I'll crumble, cause of it all.

Chorus

You say you love me when you look inton these eyes
but when I look at you now I see nothing but lies
I cant believe you think you can with me this way
then act all surpirsed when I dont care if you stay.

Chorus to Outro.

Thanks for Reading

hey guys, this is the first time ive ever shown anybody any of my stuff and im kinda nervous, so here goes and just tell me what you think.



Im lost, confused,
I try to make head or tail of my thoughts,
But nothing I try
Clears the fog you've placed around me.
Time spent together throws me
into spirals of bliss,
So random,
So unexpected, that I never know when
My next hit of happiness will come.

So, tell me now,
Do you still love her?
Does your mind wander to thoughts of her
When wrapped up in me?
When you kiss me, is it me you're kissing?
so tell me now,
Will you ever love me?

I wait, wondering,
Tormenting my mind with thoughts of you,
Obsessive, compulsive,
I dream, eat, think, see you.
Infatuation is taking over,
Help me, unblind me,
Help me
Know where to place my feet as I dont know
Where to stand, when I stand with you.

So, tell me now,
Do you still love her?
Does your mind wander to thoughts of her
When wrapped up in me?
When you kiss me, is it me your kissing?
So tell me now,
Will you ever love me?

lemme know what ye think!

Hey Kel,

These lyrics are awesome! Its one of those things where you can just tell that this is a song from personal experience. its beautifully articulated. I really like the line "help me know where to place my feet as i dont know where i stand, when i stand with you"
make sure you place any other songs up

hey guys just wrote this, not really a song yet a bit stuck with it at the moment

Garbage Man.

What can I say here I am again, same situation still ending up friends.
What is it about me that cannot be transcended
From becoming a lover after the broken heart is mended
How is it that you can be standing up, and being strong
Without looking downwards seeing me you’re standing on.

After tears that have fallen which you never knew you caused.
After the pains have been wiped away while my life was on pause.
When I stay awake watching for the sunrise on your tomorrow.
You sleep well knowing that my heart is always there to borrow.

Why I don’t get affection for making your world so bearable
Would you notice if I was replaced by another not nearly as capable.
But then I say no because this is the person that I am.
guess that’s why thank yous aren’t heard by garbage men

ok, here goes, another one i found that i wrote a while back:

Tracing your face with my fingers
I memorise every detail of your skin.
Eyelashes flutter with touch
Cheeks are flushed, skin is soft.
I lightly brush my lips against yours
Captivated by sight, enraptured by love.

Eyes are closed, all senses aware,
Your breath soft, I feel the rise and fall
of your body as your arms draw me closer.
Your lips are moist and barely chapped.
Your breath deepens, as does your kiss
And my head starts to spin.

Your hands cup my face gently
And you slowly draw us apart.
You stare into my eyes and your face
crinkles to a smile that is beautiful.
Lost for words, i watch and then
My heart soars as you say
"I love you"

okay...i need to push myself to creating more lyrics so i'm gonna try to make some on the spot right now..


spring leaves
fall from their trees
here is mine
grow back with time

calm breeze
that would comfort me
starts to fail
grows cold in time

beauty that can't be blinded by the sun
close my eyes and i feel its warmth

what we find
brings us to redefine
something so unique,
yet so quickly put behind.


well, i just can't seem to make something that at all cohesive in structure or motif. i give up

basically this is spring, and i'm supposed to be feeling all new with love and all that crap, but right now i'm the exact opposite, waiting for it to come back. a girl that i make "melt to the floor" and finds originality in no one but me, is soooo quick to forget me and move on to anyone...

which pisses me off, cuz she's a girl that is always looking for a guy, and never it working. she'll go out on a date with anybody, but because she's far away she thinks i don't need to exist in her world. well maybe not that far...but i don't know what the crap she wants to find, and i know she won't find it again, she's so temporary with guys, not that she can't commit, just that she's looking for me, but closer in proximity. her patience really sucks, and it frustrates me more than anything in the world right now.

the chorus to one of my songs is

I've fallen from a cloud,
so fast i'm gonna
hit the ground and i
wish i had wings to fly,
but you make everything allright
you took the rain and
made it bright for me
and for you

Somehow I have fashioned a longing for you,
Yet unlike like the seasons, your time is now and for always.
Though trends of love blossom and fade,
This feeling glows with a radiance of all times, never diminishing in its beauty.
No expense spared when it comes to matters of the heart,
For all the fabrics of the human soul embroider us together now.
I have dreamt of your hands of silk, your heart of gold,
Cloaked I have stood in the fields of desire,
Watching the colours of day and night fuse to fabricate all that is pure.
The colours of night so truly covet my longing for you now
As daylight rises, I’m exposed once again to your light.
None so true as the fabrics of the heart
None so pure as emotion
None so bare as the stillness of my soul
The quiet little stirring of commotion.

Every Inch of My Being
Every line of my soul
Pours out for you now
I’ve waited for this feeling to come
Every lyric from my mind
Is shed in these pages
I’ve longed for a love like ours
Every picture in my heart
Fades with memories
I’ve wished for something new
Every part of my being
Longs to have you near
I’ve hoped for a love that’s true…


Its a work in progress...Grrrr

Broken Ticker

From across the room
over heads and conversations
I still can't look at your face, scared you'll catch on to what I'm feeling

the guy who should be enraptured
stopped listening an age ago
I hear every word, feel every vibration, feel the blush rising from my heart

I know I'm being rash
I know I'm being unfair, on myself, you, them
I know I'm wrong but even a broken clock is right twice a day

I see you looking around the room
you smile and sing and share your song
and still I think when you look at me, it's unique and I'm the only one

I pretend you share this secret
that it's us against them, they don't know
I know you need a friend, nothing more, I love you more than you could ever know

I know I'm being rash
I know I'm being unfair, on myself, you, them
I know I'm wrong but even a broken clock is right twice a day

im wrote 1 about the pope dying, and me losing faith and not understanding the significance of a religion

"The world has lost its leader
and the sky is fallin down
He's tryin hard to please her,
But babe cant budge that frown,

Little Buddah's losing weight
Waves come crashing in
While children scream and pray for faith,
I'm not cosey in my skin

Chorus-

So i dance a little harder
Smile a little wider
Cuddle up beside me
When jesus trys to find me
You dance a little harder smile a little wider
I cuddle up beside you
When Jesus tries to find you"
