Hold on...



You say you're only getting older
babe you can't stop the advent of time
you can't rush this short ride
or you risk missing the chance to fly


I know it feels a little colder
on your own facing the tide
I've faced the fact that it can't be me
who puts that smile on your face


but it won't be long, 'til you're walking in the sun again
no it won't be long, 'til you're walking in the sun again


take your little book of confidence
and show this world your beautiful eyes
a smile like that should never be left
without someone to aim it at


you mean more to me than empty frames
my heart has a long memory
you'll walk your path with someone new
nothing changes 'cept the names


but it won't be long, 'til you're walking in the sun again
no it won't be long, 'til you're walking in the sun again
but it won't be long, 'til you're walking in the sun again
no it won't be long, 'til you're walking in the sun again


hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on

but it won't be long, 'til you're walking in the sun again
no it won't be long, 'til you're walking in the sun again

Very first time

Everything's exciting
when you meet someone new
as you explore me
and I discover you
but there is something that I can not share with you
there is something that I do not dare to...
so I'll hold on to my farts, for another week or two
another week or two

I am having sleepless nights
friends are asking if I'm alright
and I swear that there's nothing wrong
I'm just lying awake, hoping you are asleep
so I can drop these bombs
drop these bombs

so next time that I go outside
to make that call
it's my ass doing the talking
out in your hall
and every squeeking chair
every cough and sneeze
it's probably just me, cutting the cheese
cutting the cheese

I am having sleepless nights
friends are asking if I'm alright
and I swear that there's nothing wrong
I'm just lying awake, hoping you are asleep
so I can drop these bombs
drop these bombs

and I'll never forget
that day in June
was I being presumptuous
was it too soon
when I let one go... it was a good one
and you looked at me
like only you can do... and you dropped one too!
dropped one too

there'll be no more sleepless nights
no more asking if I'm alright
and I swear that there's nothing wrong
no more lying awake, hoping you are asleep
so I can drop these bombs
drop these bombs

Default what do you think

this is a song i wrote about 10mins ago. its just after 1am here and i couldn't sleep, while thinking about my girlfriend. its not really a good song. it actually sucks in my opinion. my girlfriend and i had a rough time for awhile and we were fighting and she broke up with me falling back onto some other guy who really ment nothing to her, but she was just lookin for somewhere to run when times were tough. she completely regrets what she did and i'm glad it happened cause she realized how much she cared about me and now we are in love! its a wonderful feeling. but this is about when it happened and some of my feelings i still feel sometimes... like maybe i'm not good enough. PLEASE GIVE ME FEEDBACK.... EVEN IF YOU HATE IT... TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK!!!!! cheers

I’ve cursed myself
Cursed the ground you’ve walked upon
I’ve shut you out in my mind
Lying to myself
Sayin what makes you happy is better for me
I know that I’m not wrong
But I can help but blame myself
Troubling thoughts float through my mind
Questioning everything we were to be

Is he everything I’m not
Am I’m everything you hate
Am I everything you look for in love
Is that why you keep running away
You’ve begged me not to love you
But only a fool could turn you away
Now, am I a fool for letting you get away

You run, fly, float, glide outta sight
While I trip, slip, fumble, I’m stumbling again
To get these three words off my chest
But I’m stumbling, fumbling, and looking like a fool
The fool I am
Full of regret
The fool you left
Crusing everything he is
Everything I should have been
Is this the love I was told not to fall for
I should have listened when you said to stay away
There is no in between for us
Its’ just love or hate
You pick which it is
While I sit back praying on my knees for what shouldn’t be

My guitars the only thing who knows how I’m feeling
We’re laughing together at your foolish decision
But who’s the fool know as you’re begging at my feet
Asking for forgiveness, while admitting your mistakes
I guess I’m still the fool
In this ****ed up situation
But I’d rather have it this way
Then to spend another night without hearing your voice
You’re my new drug
Stronger then all the others
The only way to get clean is to leave this town

Cause, I’m everything he’s not
I’m everything he’ll never be
I’m everything you want
I’m giving all I have
Tears of joy stream
They overwhelm me
Cause I’m the one you kiss good night
I hope this is worth putting up a fight

These three words seem to have so much more meaning now
I’ve found the greatest high to ever be found
Just don’t forget next time he is around
While you’re holding my fragile heart
On the edge of tearing it apart
The power of love leaves unremovable scars


all types of feedback wanted! its not that great. just reflecting on some old feelings that still keep me up at night. i goto my guitar when i need to talk. not a friend. i prefer to not have any friends, because as you can see from this song. people have played me for a fool and i've played myself. trust is important to me and i've found one person who i can now fully love and trust : )

peace

heya all... this is something i wrote just there... i decided to stick it up for anyone who is interested in giving some critical views...

IN OUR HANDS

You've been talking up an idea,
That's not far from the truth infront of the lies,
You're still living with that grip on the past,
And you still find it hard to let go.

In this city, In this town,
Don't let anyone take you down,
In this city, In this town,
You and I Will Make It Out,
We've got it all in our hands.

You've been forcing changes upon yourself,
Making yourself a better person,
How long is this all going to last?
It can't go on forever, don't you know?

In this city, In this town,
Don't let anyone take you down,
In this city, In this town,
You and I Will Make It Out,
We've got it all in our hands.

You've spat out the bad and drank the good,
You're forcing yourself to look forward, Make eye contact,
Playing it out like you feel you should,
Breaking the rules just to see how they'll all react...

In this city, In this town,
Don't let anyone take you down,
In this city, In this town,
You and I Will Make It Out,
We've got it all in our hands.

You've been forcing changes upon yourself,
Making yourself a better person,
How long is this all going to last?
It can't go on forever, don't you know?

In this city, In this town,
Don't let anyone take you down,
In this city, In this town,
You and I Will Make It Out,
We've got it all in our hands.

This is a grunge song I wrote. Uses a fair bit of distortion and some loud drums. Think Neil Young around the Ragged Glory era.

Hidden Children

Up on the hill, next to the theatre,
I saw you there
Holding flowers, next to the old man
with the broken guitar
You were singing songs to the new morning
With the old man
Oh how passersbys just spared a glance
They didn't under stand

We are are not stolen children
We are hidden
And you will never find us

Pouring with rain on the mainstreet I walk
All alone
The place is empty, just like it's
plagued with ghosts
Then I heard a scream from around
The theatre area
I ran there and in my heart I was
hoping it was not her

We are not stolen children
We are hidden
And you will never find us
Until today
Until today

When I got there the rain had washed
The blood away
It happned in the morning before
The break of day
The old man was there, looking all
Pale and thing
He looked at me, he looked at you
He didn't say a thing

We are not hidden children
We are dead
And you will never see us again

Good Morning

I woke up today to find there are no clouds in my sky
And all the birds in my ear singing "Good morning,

Say goodbye to all you've ever known
Say goodbye to all you've ever known
You won't need it"

I got out for a walk and see all the people smiling
I think of all the places where I want to be and realise I am there

I've welcomed in all you've wanted me to
I've welcomed in all you've wanted me to
And it's not helping

Why won't get out of my dreams?
Can I not get some peace?

There was once a time where I'd do anything just for you
I'd write your name in a constellation of the stars

But I think I've had enough
But I think I've had enough
Of you




And a-listen to it here, if you want: www.myspace.com/dominicgray

It's summer somewhere

it's the line-up
it's the water
it's the surf wax in my car

it's the music
it's the people
it's the folks behind the bar

will I find it, will you show me, will I care
we can find it, we can make it, take me there

it's the sun, it's the sun, it's the sun, it's the sun

it's the dancing
it's the lovin'
it's your kisses in the dark

it's the children
they are laughing
amazin' mazes, beach and park

will I find it, will you show me, will I care
we can find it, we can make it, take me there

it's the sun, it's the sun, it's the sun, it's the sun

hi all

this is called VV song :

Last night I sat by your bed
And I watched you sleep
I promised myself I will always keep
In mind that an armour can sometimes break too

Rest your eyes, they must be hurting
From the tears that you have shed
You’re deserving praises, they show disrespect instead
They’re just fools, too lazy or too scared to see through

They’re all busy spreading rumours
Choosing who to ignore or who to blame
I long decided not to notice
Now it’s your turn to try and do the same

Sometimes I feel you think
That everyone but you knows exactly where they’re going
But you should know that we’re all lost
And suffering the cost of forgetting where we’ve been

And at times you must be tempted
To fall for the promise of a settled life
But the values that you treasure
Should never be the ones to sacrifice

I havent posted on here for ages, but this is something I really couldnt keep to myself.

My Grandfather died a decade ago this year, and I wrote this to mark the time.

For A Day

You’re ageless to me
And although I cant see you
You’d still look as young
As the day that I lost you
And the stars are crying out to the Fates
To bring you back to me…

Tell me, can I have you for a day?

So look those constellations in the eye,
Tell a beautiful girl a beautiful lie
Kiss her hands and lips and say goodbye
Those stars just aren’t for me

I’d walk miles and miles
To meet with Persephone
To beg of her seeds
And regain your company
But like Atlas’s task
The weight of it’s crushing me
And the stars are crying out to the Fates
To bring you back to me…

No, I can’t even have you for a day

So look those constellations in the eye,
Tell a beautiful girl a beautiful lie
Kiss her hands and lips and say goodbye
Those stars just aren’t for me


All comments welcome.

Default rose soldier

something i wrote earlier today:

you guard your mind
like a rose solider
your gates made of iron
though rusted and older
and all out of order
held over your shoulder
like a boat with no water
not starboard but port or
just a garden of wonder where you

bide your time
like a rose soldier
youll bloom when its right
and shine till she knows ya
like a flame in the night
youll push the darkness to bright
and with all of your might you

hold your front line
like a rose soldier
your thoughts marching in time
to crystal clear waters
cross mountains of tortures
and valleys of horrors
and oceans of forlorn
your love still

waits for you
like a rose soldier
glistening with pride
like the ice from the snow
as its talks to the sun
screaming this one's the one
no matter what's done
when summer has come
and like tears we will run
to an ocean of fun
together in time
in spirit and mind
when i hit your front line
the oceans will split
and a path will be lit
and angels will sit
and sing this is it
and the earth will be lighter
and gold will shine brighter
and as drops of wet
will be woth water
our sons and daughters
just like a gardener
careful when older
we will tend our rose soldiers

and after all i hear your name so long floating my ink i laid on your back and now you blowing new trace of who like stars your words are falling into me but what was it what did you say then just only echo of your blindness fever came again and walked around me blew i blew did i but to say so said why it is so still clear so bright and the days used to flow beside yours but now i i have to build my tower and my ship will embark afar of my dreams like screeching string and joy you tinted all over my frame like stinking now in wet sun light i do one more time but did i send did i send my love was floating like you touched but who finds a whisper whisper of above if we both were looking so high and now you letting me fall into the river but i sunk into the ocean and i saw your reflection your heart tremble when you sat in me with your thoughts you sat and held my love a distance was illusion for your deftness i was talking to your beside your star your star and your waving trace is still there still laying on the same green and if it is too soon to see but open your window and stretch your line i see i feel and i listen your chosen way my grace beneath my feet no stitches melted in flooding fall of wet like eyes falling back from china burned dreams ooze like immensity of your trace and to die a little bit sad if you leave your dreams behind and...caught my utter if you wrote that word of one's feelings did you feel it though open your eyes for the world did you see merging rivers and a boat floating the ocean i saw your desire to step i saw your dream to find i saw your love for the being flow i saw your strength to wake my heart you taught me to rise and morn faded the dark dark dark faded....2005 autumn

Unknown Soldier

Fortune lost for the man hiding behind his own eyes
The chaos triggers no calm after the storm
How many years can we live behind these lies?
And in his Mother's thoughts there's none done wrong

The hills roll away, built up by the corpses
Of men stolen from the lives they never knew
And their names shall be written in no stories
Except the ones who no-one knows were slew

Written in the lines as an unknown soldier
Caught in the mines that no-one told us
Called on before you were an unknown soldier
Blacking out now, getting colder

"Fortify the sould" the men back home had said
But are any of those men around you now?
Are they screaming on the wind or maybe even dead?
Or are they back home claiming gallancy somehow?

Your thoughts run back home, now to black
Freewill is backstabbed by the governmental knife
For all your screams and cries you ain't ever going back
Sink into the unkown as just another soldier who lost his life

Called on before you were an unknown soldier
Blacking out now, getting colder
Written in the lines as an unknown soldier
Caught in the mines that no-one told us
Called on before you were an unknown soldier
Blacking out now, getting colder

Written in the lines as an unknown soldier
Caught in the mines that no-one told us

just wrote this last night but some of it was buzzing around for a few weeks now:

(doesn't have a name yet - any suggestions welcome!)

i live here in silence
with the spiders and their webs
i walk the road barefoot
every night the night of the debs

i see you standing there
i see you standing there
and for you the stars would shine
for you, you look so fine

you see those stars? they shine for you
cos all your stars are black and blue
dreams from a lack of reality and too much time
looks like your dreams are just like mine

i see you standing there
i see you standing there
and for you, the stars would shine
before that, i'd make you mine

i'm dreaming of you now
i'm dreaming of you now
and we're kissing by the river
and we look so good together


kind of needs a lil tweaking still though..

I think its perfect it as it is! I loveeeeeeeee the use of stars, i love it! I love the Chorus too, and that verse the most! Reminds me of Coldplay!

Brilliant Livi!!

obody wil probably understand this, i think only i do and a girl i know! Nobody else gets it! but its kind of what happend during one day, then the next morning i didnt wanna forget it, so i wrote it down!

"~Last Night~

Your smell still clings to my pillow,
The smell of flowers through my window.
Hanging on the distant memories of yesterday,
On a cold, wet day in may.
We've played our games,
And someones lost an eye.
Your catching your trains,
And now your the "apple of my eye."
Indecisive questions and answers,
Of where to go, and who to see.
No straight answers,
Just "we'll see" and " Let it be".

Watching M:I,
And hearing Boos childish giggles.
On our backs,
Feeling you wiggles get comfy.
"I cant take my eyes of you"
As i fall and drowned in their beauty.
Kissing you, tasting you, being with you,
I wanna be there again.

Staying up till the small hours,
biting my weakness on its bum.
Awashed in summer showers
The hum of silence, as we stare at each other.
Drawing blood to my skin,
As you kiss my arm.
Testicle elbow skin,
Itching from my Washing powder.
And your cutting my skin,
As you draw on my arm.

Going back to all those memories,
I wish we had years ago.
Finding new lows,
Forgetting how to let go and leave.

A blade over my face,
Cutting my lips.
Gone without a trace,
Only my lips, and double chin here now.

If this was a perfect world,
I would be Noonan and you'd be you.
But this isn't a perfect world,
Because i write "I love you" on receipts.
Instead of saying it to your eyes,
I write it honest, without no lies.
With red ink,
Not with my tongue.
You may think its ****,
But deep down, you know you are wrong.

Going back to all those memories,
I wish we had years ago.
Finding new lows,
Forgetting how to let go and leave."

sometime in summer
all these shadows were cast
but there werent a single cloud in the sky
i started wondering
am i just a wonderer
of why the black settled in my eyes
fall followed faithfully
and the light ran away
to vacation somewhere i heard
somewhere down south i think i was told
that maybe is was guiding the birds

and i saw no feathers floating on the wind
i saw no feathers floating on the wind

march it came slow and not a moment to soon
i stepped outside to what had bloomed
all of the sudden its like a switch had turned
it was against everything i had learned
no blooms here, and not a leaf to be heard
all i saw was gray like ashes
the ashes from the nothing that had burned

and i saw no feathers floating on the wind
i saw no feathers floating on the wind

i took down south so i could plead the sun
and to catch a glimpse of spring
because i know it had begun
and maybe hear that all familiar ring
of thousand pretty bluebirds beating their wings

but i saw no feathers floating on the wind
i saw no feathers floating on the wind

i heard the sun sizzle as it set
into an ocean full of pain and regret
and i was hopin
maybe i could rope the moon
and get it to start burnin again
i took aim used the stars as my guide
and threw with all of my might
i lost sight somewhere over the ocean
and heard all the world let out a cry

i turned my eyes to the skies and empty
was the only thing greeted me
i let out a shout from the nearest tree top
dont you know where your supposed to be

but i heard no voices returned on the wind
i saw no feathers floating on the wind.

and that was when i lost faith in the heavens above
and the fires that burned down below
and it was then that i sat down and whispered
my god i think that were all alone

it was a particularly strange thing to write.

We argued again the other day
Was it our fault that the sun went away?
You shouted at me and I started to pray
That I wouldnt go and drive you away

We made love again the other night
With passion so fierce that it almost burned bright
I clutched at you and you held me tight
Until the first rays of the morning light

I cried again the other day
But it didnt make the pain go away
Only your touch and your lips mouthing 'stay'
Kept me in your arms that day

Its a lil thing I threw together during an arguement with my other half, I know its not as good as it could be, has anyone got any suggestions?

don't hold yourself like that
you'll hurt your knees
i kissed your mouth and back
but thats all i need
don't build your world around
volcanoes melt you down

...just kidding. i'm a bit nervous to actually post something of mine...there's ALOT of really amazing stuff already up here...well, here i go....

texas is for the loveless
colorado is for the heart broken
and illinios is for moving on and out

your words are now for the breaking
my body is for the taking
i'm broken and i am making
time out of doubt

and so it is this the way it will always be
i alone fighting these filters to fill my sea

i need some new weather
here in my bed
i need to stop this rain
from drowning my head
i need to let you go
now that your dead
i need to let you..

yesterday's for regretting
tomorrow is for forgetting
and today is for the letting
my knees into harm

roads are paved for the leaving
my city is for the greiving
and she is now for the sleeping
there in your arms

and so it is this the way you will take your leave
burning your bridges oh so afraid of what you can't see

i need some new weather
here in my bed
i need to stop this rain
from drowning my head
i need to let you go
now that your dead
i need to let you...

what we made
has burnt all away
and i'm standing in the ruin

what we made
you gave in away
and i don't know what you're doin
now...
just need to let you go
some how

i need some new weather
here in my bed
i need to stop this rain
from drowning my head
i need to let you go
now that your dead
i need to let you..

texas is for the loveless
colorado is for the heart broken
and illinios is for moving on and out

No need to be nervous - this is just wonderful. If you've got a tune for it I'd really like to hear it!

And thank you CarvinKid! Noones said anything about my stuff in while, I wont deny its nice for someone to say something nice I think we all need to take some time to really look at other people's work.

As I've said before I'm never really sure of my stuff before taking it to my band. This especially as it's only a few hours old.

As always feedback appreciated but hard to find. Hehe.. It's called 'Light for your dark soul'

How far can this river run?
How close can you fly to the sun?
You are fire putting out the flame,
You're the flooded town welcoming rain.

You know if I could,
I'd turn the tables round,
If it'd stop you from falling down,
I'd lift you out of this black hole,
If it'd bring you light for your dark soul.

You're the addict who loves the fame,
The instant celeb who can live with the shame,
Can you resist from shooting the gun?
Cause in the end who will be left to kill the guilty one?

You know if I could,
I'd turn the tables round,
If it'd stop you from falling down,
I'd lift you out of this black hole,
If it'd bring you light for your dark soul.

You say this city moves too fast,
It doesn't give you a chance to feel the past,
But if you were naked in '68,
You'd tell me you don't have the patience to wait.

You know if I could,
I'd turn the tables round,
If it'd stop you from falling down,
I'd lift you out of this black hole,
If it'd bring you light for your dark soul.

thank you ladies and gentlemen...your stuff is really lovely as well. its such creative poetry...not the same old "roses are red" crap. its inventive. good show.

miss always echos, i would love to share my music with you....all of my stuff has music before it ever has lyrics, however, i am rather computer-challenged and am limited to making good old fashioned casette tapes...

You swear you’re thinking straight
Though the hour’s getting late
The dandy candy tempted
But the quicker liquor won

Now the allure of his touch
May have seemed a bit too much
But curse your stupid charm
You couldn’t help but lead him on

Hoping to God
That the pieces don’t shatter
But then again God’s never been in love

Searching for your honesty
Wading through the tears
Empty promises replaced with empty lies

Please listen closely as I plea for my life
I swear we’ll make it through this
I swear we’ll make it through this

I’m so damn pathetic, to myself I even lie
I swear we’ll make it through this
I swear we’ll make it through this

I’ve abandoned all the hope
Going back on all I wanted
No excuses, no questions; my love

Counting away my ceiling tiles
Living in denial
Our future destroyed by a drunken daze

Please listen closely as I plea for my life
I swear we’ll make it through this
I swear we’ll make it through this

I’m so damn pathetic, to myself I even lie
I swear we’ll make it through this
I swear we’ll make it through this

The innocence has vanished
The chastity is gone
Please forgive my blunt surrender to the truth

That the faith I once exalted
Left not a note
But another chip away at my soul

Please listen closely as I plea for my life
I swear we’ll make it through this
I swear we’ll make it through this

I’m so damn pathetic, to myself I even lie
I swear we’ll make it through this
I swear we’ll make it through this

Event Horizon

You said you want a 'sit down'
said you want the lowdown
wanna talk face to face
I can't think of anything worse than you
putting me in my place
why are you so in love, so in love with me
I'm just a 2bit loser who always keeps his heart
safely under lock and key

sooner or later there's a warning sign
sooner or later you'll change your mind
but I want to know why
I want to know why
you persevere, you're still here
what do you see in me

you said you had an inkling
said you had a feeling
wanna know how I feel
I can't think of anything worst than that
articulating how I feel
why are you so in love, so in love with me
I'm just a 2bit loser who always keeps his heart
safely under lock and key

sooner or later there's a warning sign
sooner or later you'll change your mind
but I want to know why
I want to know why
you persevere, you're still here
what do you see in me

self-fulfilling prophecy, event horizon time for me

self-fulfilling prophecy, event horizon time for me

Wow, didnt think I would get a reply. Thank you!

Juzzza, your song (especially the verses) has quite a Damien tone to it in my opinion. But as to where Damo may have more of a classical feel, an old fashioned poetry sort of form but still being cold and dark, yours is a bit modern, but as I said, has a Damien feel to it. I will say to you as you did me; Brilliant.

this song isn't exactly traditional in its lyrical organization...that is to say, the verses, chorus, and bridge are indentified strictly by the music...by what i play on piano. i was never really going to put words to this in the first place, but then i was playing one day and just started singing this...

be nicely

he bees nicely to me
as bees tend to be
breaking my heart with his honey tongue.

he says capture the flag
i say light me a fag
breathe for me baby, clean up my lungs

i'll give to your fall
giving nothing at all
drip slow the smile from your mouth to mine.

your touching me slow
your cheeks and your glow
i turn on the lights to lessen your shine.

wipe blood from my nose
wash stains from my clothes
fix me arachnid with spindles and thread

the days smell our fear
its drunk and its clear
i will be gone before you're out of bed

i write songs for you
cherry flavoured and blue
i'm singing now i'm singing now i'm singing for him.

don't love me like that
play the frets of my back
kiss the teller on the mouth, kiss the son for his sin.

your eyes

your eyes

(make mine look so small.)

your eyes

your eyes.

(make no sense at all.)

your eyes.

your. eyes.

.your.eyes.


at the end i never really say the same thing, i just switch out "make no sense at all" with phrases that rhyme...such as: are breaking my walls, have no place to fall, etc...

i can't decide on one i like best...

i really love it! i think you should never decide how to end it. there's no reason for it to be set in stone, except tradition. and that's just habit after all.
