Creative Endeavors / ode to writer's block *snort*

« on: June 20, 2004, 03:56:25 pm »

sitting here, thinking, trying to write this stinking song
but the words wont come...i feel so dumb,
staring at this black bic softfeel pen.
a piece of paper mocking me, writer's block keeps stalking me --
its ugly stare, my paper bare
and i promise i'll never write a song like this again.
creativity
has deserted me.
all that remains is overused cliche
and inside my head all ideas fall dead
and leave me with nothing left to say.
writer's block, dear writer's block, please please go away...
i truly hope that you're not here to stay, my unwanted guest.
and now i think it best
to end, my friend --
the end.

sometimes, its all i can do to form some ridiculous little rhymes...

Creative Endeavors / Turbulence

« on: June 20, 2004, 03:40:06 pm »

would you like to fly
my friendly sky sometime?
well, i cant guarantee you
safe passage over rough waters
and rocky mountains
but if you try and reach the other side
what lies behind that choppy air is
something you never thought you'd find there

my landing gear is stuck
and im circling, circling
for somewhere to land
can i land in you?
(oh, can i land in you?)

and the next time i nosedive
and my headwind gives way and
the ground rushes up to meet me
i hope that you'll be waiting there
to greet me with your patient smile
and pick up my scattered pieces
mend my tattered wings when
i've bent and broken down
and send me skyward where i belong
because im finally, finally homeward bound


written on the way home from a Vegas weekend this morning, on two hours of sleep...

and sorry for my absence, life gets in the way sometimes...

ps. i may record this tomorrow, ill see what i can do.

Creative Endeavors / Where Are We Going

« on: May 07, 2004, 07:47:22 pm »

lyrics...no music...too busy for music right now :?

where are we going
so lost and wandering
seems no one can say
the way to get back to a place
where everythings right again
so everything falls apart and then
we're right back where we started and
where are we going again?

where are we going
without knowing where
this road might lead
and maybe we need some directions
a map to find out where we're at
before we can know the way to go
to get where we're going
(this confusion keeps growing)
and where are we going again?

circling like this pains my head
and its not working, so when will it end
when will it stop
when will it stay
ignoring these problems wont chase them away, away, away
so far away
so lost
we're so lost
admit it, we're lost

where are we going
oh, where are we going again?

Creative Endeavors / Nothing [thats the title]

« on: May 04, 2004, 06:48:12 pm »

you try so hard
to get through my walls
but its too far
when you break through to fall and
i tell you this
but you dont get it
no, but you dont get it at all

soon youll be crawling
your way back up that steep incline
battling against the tide that
pushes me and pulls at me and please
how can i make you see that

CHORUS:
there is nothing inside me
as empty as a girl can be
i dont know why no one can see
the emptiness inside of me
the emptiness inside...of me

you think that you
alone can get through to me
thats isnt true
but i cant make you see that
the things you do
dont make it better
no, dont make it better this time

i feel me sliding
further down to where i came from
right back where i started and sometimes
i think to myself will this all forever be the same?
it never changes

CHORUS

oh

there is nothing inside me
as empty as a girl can be
i dont know why no one can see
the emptiness inside of me
the emptiness inside...of me

you try so hard but its too far...
cant get to me, cant make you see...

nothing inside me.


its actually got music...i need to re-record it before anyone can hear, though :oops:

Creative Endeavors / black as night

« on: April 16, 2004, 12:34:13 am »

black as night

my pain is black as night
and stifling, like hot july
like a blanket of starful sorrow.
and the moon in the simmering sky
longs for calm november,
and snow that silently smothers
the world in icy indifference.
but this blazing heat covers
and hangs in a hateful haze.
and the moon cries red and angry tears
but no bright dawn relief comes.
no welcome shining sun appears.

*sigh* more 4 am ramblings...sleep is no friend of mine...

Creative Endeavors / letting go

« on: April 11, 2004, 12:49:30 pm »

Wow.  8O Totally impressive. You should always be awake at 4-something AM if this is what it produces. Not to say, though, that whatever it is you felt that caused you to write something so full of emotion and movement... not to say that it should always accompany you.

thanks for the compliment *smallsmile*

and thankyou also for the rest of it...

who are you
and whats that song you wrote
the words are nice
but the melody is a little lacking
it has no style
it has no rhythm, just a tune
and i think it needs a little bit of
dynamics
to set the mood

you make the music, and ill sing the song
write me a fairytale, ill play along
im not sure where we're going to
but thats the story of me and you

how are you
and what'd you do today
im not quite fine
but thankyou very much for asking
i need a cure
i need a remedy, a fix
for the mess inside my head and
its still growing
im still sick

so you lie to me, and ill lie to you
and ill tell you what im gonna do
ill wear the mask, ill act the part
and ill do what i can to spare your heart

because i love to shove it in and rip it out again
the dagger that is who i am
but i know somehow im everything you cant live without
so ill do what i can
bury my head deep in the sand
to stifle the demons trying to scream
and try to keep faking life in this dream
but my palms are secretly bloody
and i dont know how much longer
i can hold onto this
before my grip
releases

im letting go now while the going's still good
im letting go now because i should
im letting go now its for your own good
im letting go...
(im warning you, im letting go
come morning i am letting go)

---
i dont know, its 430 am and my brain is rambling...

and ive just gone through a saga of epic proportions to get my internet back, so i promise ill make real posts one of these days...
