Hey do any of you have the Powertab Editor on your computer?
If you do, I'm inspired by the lyrics to one of your songs, VanessaCarltonMania, and I'd be glad if you could hear it.
Though I'm not done yet. I've got this tune stuck in my head and it's not coming out. Grr.

Fooling with her

While fooling with her, u were fooling with me.
Oh baby, y cant u see?

Everything I do is for you
Every breath, every word i say is true.

So give me a break and get going, get gone-
I cant believe ure still fooling with my heart.
I want this to be done.

While fooling with her, u fooled with me.
Why does my heart make this such a tragedy?
I know Im not yours, oh but when will you learn
that hearts break at the tiniest word?
and oh boy, youre the one i thought i deserved.


P.S:
(see if u can interpret the event behind that  :lol:  :lol:  :wink:  )

No Reward

Im fighting for no reward
stranded on this island
with no ocean to surround me
in the place of the ocean, its u

Im fighting with all my heart
giving u all i got
but ofcourse there is no reward
nothing, nothing.
on this island im just a tiny dot.


Im fighting for u
but u never seem to care
im fighting my way through thunder and lightning
but u never seem to be there

Ive cried myself an ocean
Ive cried myself a sea
When will i cry enough to drown u and save me?

[VanessaCarltonMania]

Wise Man

Chorus:
It's all meant to be
someone once said to me
was this wise man really wise?
did he see, see, my sweet demise?


"Beware my child, said this wise man to me.
The path u have chosen, it will never come to be."
But as i look up into ur eyes, i swear i can't breathe.


Are u the path i shuld've never taken?
Are those the words i wish he'd never spoken?
As i sit here and think it through,
I realize i don't want to live without you.

This Wise man saw my sweet demise.
He made it clear, though i never believed him to be wise.
With eyes misted over, tension hung in the air.
My heart beating at a rate unimaginable.
I wished u were there.





I feel like I'd rather witness this sweet demise of mine than give u up.
Oh wise man am I running out of time?

[VanessaCarltonMania]

My Present Reality

You are my present reality
But i want u in the past
You are constantly reminding me
what ive done wrong
what has passed.


Hoping and praying didnt work for me
i guess its just not meant to be
i cant help but want this all over
i cant help it, cause u still adore her

My present reality is making me so unsure
I cant hear any sound
no one knocking at my door
Its like the spirits inside me calmed down
but now i have this sense...im overwhelmed

I will miss the thought of me and you
but i guess theres nothing else left to do
I wonder if u will still think of me when its all done
I wonder if its worth this, worth me coming undone?


I will miss the thought of you and me
but ive tried and theres noone else i can be
crying will do no good
i shuldve known, i shuldve understood.

[VanessaCarltonMania]

Over You

*i want a love i dont have to lose
somehow life will go on, even if i dont want it to
I guess the light will shine on me one day
i need to move on, i need to give my heart a break*

i wont need u to survive
i cant wait til that day
i wont need to hold on to every word u say

im waiting on my heart to change
my mind is already made up
im waiting so patiently
but it seems as if im stuck

(*chorus*)

Im ready to give up on u.
This idea, and this pain its put me through
It might take awhile
but i will get there one day
it might take awhile
but im sick of this pain

bridge:
its going, going....
im waiting for it to be gone
im waiting for this to be done
im waiting for my heart to breathe
im waiting to be freed

(*chorus*)

[VanessaCarltonMania]

This song isnt one of my best, but I liked it cause it has some Latin in it...and I think Latin is a beautiful language since it is the base of most other languages.... (A)(A)

The words in [---] are supposed to be whispered either in between words or in the background....

Harmony in Discord

I hear a voice
A voice and nothing more
Empty words filled with no trace of remorse
[ vox et proeterea nihil]

This cruel, cruel world
Well, we're against it all
This poetic frenzy [furor poeticus]
Love conquers all!
[amor vincit omnia]

The art of loving [ars amandi]
it comes from the heart [ex animo]
Harmony in discord [concordia discors]
It passes away the glory  of the world
[sic tansit gloria mundi]

We are tossed by the waves, but we never sink
[flactuat nec megritur]
Time flies [tempus fugit]
in the blink of an eye
just a blink! [tempus fugit]

Concordia discors
sic tansit gloria mundi

ars amandi
ex animo


any comments or suggestions are appreciated!

Cool, I really like Wise Man and My Present Reality, and the one with latin in it is neat. That's a new idea.

I know its been a veryyy long time since ive posted any sons but i have PLENTY to share now :razz: :lol:

Here is one called ' LOVING U '

though getting over u is hard
i dont think its the hardest thing ill have to do
loving u was hard enough
after all of that, why is it punishment i have to go through?

loving u was like hell
it burnt and stung
yet i still wanted more
loving u tore my heart apart
and now im sprawled out, face down on the floor.



i still say it doesnt hurt
my heart has gone numb from the pain
if i waited long enough, i wonder if u wuldve figured it out
well, its too late, im done, im sick of the rain.

She's Gone(poem)

and she wills him away
as he creeps into her memory
and she wishes he could stay
but she sees there's no future

and she tries to hide her tears
but it's so hard sometimes
and she wants to have something
to comfort her at night

so she runs on her own
wishing he'd hurt like she does
and she sings him a song
wondering if he'd ever stop to hear her

and as her breaths become shallow
and the days are growing short
she holds on to this man
and the hope that he once gave her

well he doesn't know what he's done to her
and she'll never tell him
that just won't happen

her life is slipping away
as she tries to cry out to him
he's not by her side
but she says what she has been longing to say
she screams his name and cries out
'I LOVE YOU!'
and it all slips away
the light in her eyes begins to fade
she's gone, she's gone
will you miss her now?
she's gone and not coming back
she's gone...
