i wrote this like a year ago, and it's gone through many different versions, but this is probably the final version.

"it's not like i forgot about you
you're in my head at night
all last year got blazed away in a series of burnt out nights
you may never hear this song but it still means a lot to me
that you effected me so much that it makes me feel the flight response

sent into a panic, you make me lose control
i never wanted any of this but you broke through the hull
and while our ship has sunk and our things are lost i am still alive
i will wear this shield just to keep that in mind

i walked the plank, slept with fish, i even fought a shark
there were a lot of things that you made me tear apart
ripped and smashed and broken
while you hold a gun to my head
wrapped around your fingers while you fucked me up again

no more silent nights spent in regret"

please gimme some feedback. i'm trying to actually get some songs together to play soon, and this is the only one i'm really proud of so far haha.

I'm really liking this one. Enough so that I'm listening to it for the 3rd time now. It's really good.

Oh also, I have one:

Excuse the shitty quality and vocals. I really ought to learn to sing in tune.

Lyrics:

She's only crossed the state line twice, she's in love with songs from outside.
She's in love with cities and people she'll never see or meet
And if the music's loud, it helps her try, kid herself she might make it out alive,
Cause who'd write a song about a town like this? it's suicide to try

If she could take a look at someone else's skyline for a change
If she could just wake up in another town with another name
If she could sing a little sweeter, if her voice was high and soft
Her dreams would take off,
Yeah you bet they'd take off.

It gets lonely, sometimes
It's a sorry way to survive,
Blinders can be nice, but they sure get smothering
It gets scary, sometimes
When she has to open her eyes
And the same old problems face her, and she's left wondering,
Same as from the start.

If she could take a look at someone else's skyline for a change
If she could just wake up in another town with another name
If she could sing a little sweeter, if her voice was high and soft
Her dreams would take off,
Yeah right they'd take off.

She might not get the theory, but those chords mean more than anything.
And if the vocals are off-key, that's just life as far as she can see.
She might not get the point, but she's sure in love with all the imagery--
leather jackets, ripped jeans and songs about Memphis, Tennessee.

Alright, so this is one that my friend and I wrote. We call ourselves Planet Canvas. It's pretty simple, but I think it's some of the best music I could write.

it's called "D Blues". I'm not gonna post lyrics for this one unless someone asks, simply because they aren't mine.

http://www.myspace.com/planetcanvas a few friends of mine that tried to download from the link couldn't get it to work, so if it doesn't work for people on here, it's on that myspace

Makes me thing of Planet Caravan. Listen to that song ppl! It's like watching a turtle cross the street. Slow, mellow, but oh wait... wtf? Crazy ass turtle.
