Alright, I decided to post a few of the lyrics the garage band I'm in is working with. This is the before, with little or no editting and all done by me. Later, I'll post the reworked versions by my friend Anthony, the bass player.
1.A WORLD MADE
A world made through her eyes
Jaded, rosy, bereft of lies
Skinless and empty skies
Taintlessly pure, fulfilling cries
Time stretches, never dies
Her hair entwined only defies
Exposing light through dyes
And Aerotes proclaim their good-byes
As each mark testifies
Growing short never justifies
The sole feather defies
Faithful and true fills not with lies
Four gone forth, sightful eyes
Purpose and meaning, graceful cries
Dreamless sight just defines
And to no one the soul-tear dries
Chorus
This is a new world
This is my new life
Watch it unfurl through the strife
Now this is my pearl
This is my new knife
Watch me unfurl in the strife
2.A.B.M.F.
Torture at your hands
And hate in your soul
It bled through your eyes
And quickly seized control
It was sick of it
I was horrified
I’m horrified that that
It’s still inside
I bled you all out
And thought it was gone
Cannot fight or shout
But bring the pain on
I’ll tear it away
The grey won’t fade
You’ll die today
A demon you made
I was so pure
All was white or black
Now I’m not sure
But I’ll still attack
ATTACK
ATTACK
ATTACK
BACK-TRACK
MOVE BACK
FILL THE LACK
3.APATHETIC
Guess I should feel something,
But I’m filled with nothing.
All my tears have been cried,
Trickled down, then dried.
All the anger left me
Was a lot of empty.
I don’t feel degraded.
It’s all pretty faded.
Just want to be sedated.
Maybe it’s belated.
As I drift down to rest,
Trying my very best.
To just feel something,
But I’m filled with nothing
4.CYCLIC
Pills to stop the pain
Pain to end the buzz
Buzz to numb the hate
For hate kills far too much
Chorus
See through the deceptions
False are the “exceptions”
Truth finds its own way out
Whisper over a shout
Bends to start the trend
Trends to kill the mind
Lack to force you blind
Can’t you see that I’m blind?
Chorus
See through the deceptions
False are the “exceptions”
Truth finds its own way out
Whisper over a shout
Hand to force the end
End to lose the mind
Lost to gain the friend
Friends to see where I’m blind
5.FACE-TO-FACELESS
You’re in the system
As an enemy
You’re the motivation
For spreading the disease
You attempt to change
The world to suit you
But you’re just failing
The aggressive methods
Just prove their words true
Face-to-Faceless
We’ve just been falling
Our way through eternity
The system was made
Within selfish fantasies
The foul corruption
Eats away, buried deep
Injustice seems
To be our weakness
The strong are jaded
With purity in ashes
Our selfish nature
Is slaying ourselves
Agonizingly slow
It’s grinding on
And we’ve dragged down
Down into the dark
The darkness of sleep
6.FOR THE SCAPEGOAT
You point your finger
When the deed is done.
You vent the anger
That should be gone.
You choose the victim
And have your fun.
Now you select them
Put ‘em on the run
Chorus
You blame their lack of foresight
With your biased hindsight
You ask “With all that’s lost
Who shall bear the cost?”
You point your finger
Though the deed is done
You vent your anger
That you held too long
7.GET UP AND
Get up and move
Feed it all into the motion
Get up and prove
That your soul is worth the emotion
Shut up and choose
Existence lies in the motion
Do it or lose
Find it all in the commotion
8.MODERNIZATION
Ballads of anger, hate, and pain
SYNCOPATION
Completely reckless and insane
MASS DEPRESSION
Scarcely managing survival
ISOLATION
Fragmented, hateful revival
DESOLATION
Society’s underbelly
IN AGRESSION
Madness drug-induced revelry
IN CONFESSION
9.REALITY LIES
You’re on a dead end street
And there’s one way to go
Stop all the acting.
This isn’t a friggin’ show
If you’d open your eyes
You’d see that you’re plastic
Reality lies plain
Through the idealistic
It all just contradicts
Your reality lies
Lies within lies
All friggin’ deception
Stop the act, burn the script
Douse it in gas, have a blast
False conception, misdirection
10.SOLD
Chorus
You’re selling fornication
Sodomizing the nation
Perversions of the mind
Driving all of us blind
Sex on the television
Raping virgin vision
There’s no innocence
All is now corrupt
Our minds are now waste
I’ve had enough!
Chorus
You’re selling fornication
Sodomizing the nation
Perversions of the mind
Driving all of us blind
Sex on the television
Raping virgin vision
Morals cast aside
United in lust
Your acts condemn you
Justice is served
Chorus
You’re selling fornication
Sodomizing the nation
Perversions of the mind
Driving all of us blind
Sex on the television
Raping virgin vision
You’ve forsaken truth
Indulge corruption
Something you denied
You chose your fate
11.THIRSTS
It’s what you want
And it is what you need.
It’s paramount
That you feed
Slake your thirsts
Feeding upon what I bleed
Ignore the curse
Just fill your greed
I wait for you
Tainting myself inside
Suppress the blue
With my pride
Deserving pain
Within my falling ride
My lungs will strain
I can’t hide
It throbs
It burns
It robs
It turns
It’s all an inside job
Within me, a storm churns
post comments or whatever if you feel like it, or even if you dont... O.o
