Personal Piece - Safe - Lyrics for two songs i wrote (Acoustic)
Two songs i wrote about five years ago. First one is self explanatory and i ended up being with that girl for five years. Second one was written while i was with that girl and inspired by some pictures i found in my loft. The girl has since left me and i'm considerably more miserable now than when i wrote that song haha.
I'd be grateful for any feedback anyone would like to give me as i'm considering using these for some solo stuff i want to do. I'm aware some lines are not that great but i was a teenager at the time!
First song (Diseased)
The air i breathe is diseased
A sea of empty souls surround me
Look to the sky this can't be it
Nothing ives it just exists
I've no time no time for this now
Iv'e no time no time for this now
My souls vacant nothing here makes me lose my breath
Empty heart empty heart
Except this one thing that i always knew would be trouble
Yeah she was trouble from the start
I knew she was trouble from the start
The air she breathed was diseased
Crucified by anothers needs
I hoped someday that she'd decide to stray
And find herself walking my way
And find herself walking my way
Two souls vacant nothing here makes us lose our breath
Empty hearts empty hearts
Why'd she make those eyes when we both know shes got
To just walk on by
I couldn't stop her if i tried
The cure is there but out of reach
We both share the same disease
How i would make her sweat slip that dress from round her neck
I could fill her empty heart
I could fill her empty heart
Then one night to my surprise she came through with a smile
A look i'd never seen before
She pressed her body to mine an i held her in tight
Our clothes on the bedroom floor
Her heart beat fast that night
I awoke alone in a cold sweat
With visions i could not forget
Though its hard to pretend
These thoughts they have to end
For she belongs to my friend
Second song (under the sun)
Looking at the pictures in black and white
All the faces that are shown thought they'd always see the sky
I see you in me now it's clear i have your eyes
But all else about you has been lost in time
Your smile tells me that you loved her, hers says she felt the same
two lovers side by side for every hour of the day
But you were blind to time that was flying by
and you aged each night the sun fled the sky
Till the day came when your children played
In the fields and stream where you'd spent your days
And so you watched them from your chairs
Your tired eyes and graying hair
show how long it had been since you first met
couldn't work out where the time went
The house you built it's been knocked down, To make space for the swelling town
Now there's junkies on the street,the spot where you used to meet
sadly its like this now, no one knows just quite how
To build anything that lasts, should take a leaf from the past
(because)
Faces and names are soon forgot
All you work for will be lost
those you care for those you love
Even that girl sent from up above
Will share one final resting 'place'
At the end of lifes long race
No more will your laughter be heard
As you make way for the new world
Now the picture is in colour the one of us arms round each other
What will they think of you and me when this is all they have to see
To prove that we once walked on the same land as them
Once again things will have changed and we'll seem so alien
but
nothings new under the sun,
shining down on everyone
And though through sight things may have changed,
the way we feel stays the same
You'd give it all up for your girl
to you shes worth more than the world
Nothing else gets to cross your mind
don't care if i am losing time
Cause shes by my side and i love it
Shes shares my mind and i love it
Im ****in high and i love it
This is my life and i love it
