What a wonderful world.
Livin' in a powder keg givin' off sparks
ain't water under the bridge
I don't belong here
Head spinning
no kidding
You're a firework
The brightest colors
fill my head
Addicted to a certain kind of sadness
Walk the plank
Remember the dream
With our eyes wide open we
bullets scream
to the sound of the beat
Floating around in ecstasy
I was born this way
I was born in the U. S. A.
Grief
Touch me, it's so easy to leave me
All alone with the memory.
Goodnight, my angel.
Now it's time to sleep.
I kissed her our last kiss. I lost my love, my life that night.
I walk this empty street
On the Boulevard of Broken Dreams.
Oh, look at all the lonely people.
I must be strong.
And carry on.
All by myself. Don't want to live, all by myself anymore.
Exit light.
Enter night.
In restless dreams, I walked alone. Narrow streets of cobblestone.
I see you, I feel you.
”Are you lonesome tonight? Do you miss me tonight?
You're in the arms of the angel.
And I will always love you.
I will always love you.”
Turbo Lover, fast and loose, noble sufferings, substance, and light from stars.
Judas Priest inspired today's show, or rather informed the mood of the morning and coffee while a handful of writers waited to be read and heard, by you. One hell of a show today. Sit your asses down, grab a tall, cool beverage of choice, and go into this world of words by these stone statues of stanza and ink.
Here's a link to the show.

I’m a few years older than you
I was at my lowest
Acting funny
No colours anymore
And my head keeps spinning
Running back to you
Running up that road
Running up that hill
Through the darkness
You didn't stand by me
Can't believe you played me out
Whatever happened to you?
Whatever I've done
I'm a few years older than you
Even children get older
I'm not the guy I used to be
I'm gonna make a change
Love Paradise
I wake in vain
I dream of love as time runs through my hand
Baby, won't you understand
That your wish is my command
I've got this feelin' that won't subside
I look at you and I fantasize
As I look into your eyes I see the sunrise
The light behind your face helps me realize
Oh, think twice, it's just another day for you
You and me in paradise
Every move you make
Every step you take
Nothing but a heartache
Hits you when it's too late
You know that I want to be with you all the time
You know that I won't stop until I make you mine
You know we're two hearts believing in just one mind
Together forever till the end of time
Just another love song
I would do anything for love
You smiled and then the spell was cast
I've been watching you for some time
I would catch a grenade for ya
Can't drink without thinkin' about you
I could stay awake, just to watch you breathing
I want to stand with you on a mountain
I would walk in the rain and the snow
Walk through the storm I would
I want to kiss you in Paris
Cos I would walk 500 miles
I drove all night to get to you
I'll take a bruise, I know you're worth it
I'll give you all I've got, blood, sweat and tears
Oh, I would hold you for a million years
You are the apple of my eye
And I'd give up forever to touch you
Take my heart and please don't break it
You're changing my whole state of mind
Think I'm addicted to your light
And I just want to hold you close
I have died every day waiting for you
I knew I loved you before I met you
At last my love has come along
When food is gone you are my daily meal
And I will try to fix you
I still feel everything when you are near
Cause I will love you for the rest of my life
It's you, it's you, it's all for you
Everything I do, I do it for you
I wanna live with you even when we're ghosts
Losing you is like living in a world with no air
You know when I die, you'll be on my mind
Love story (repost)
I honestly love you
Just the way you are
From here to the moon and back
Sweet love;
Even now,
In case you didn't know,
Nobody loves me like you do;
Remember:
I will always love you,
Nobody but you,
It had to be you,
It was always you,
Nothing compares 2 you -
My Immortal,
I'm yours,
Dust to dust;
Please,
Dance me to the end of love.
It was never me.
Couldn't share the pain and...watch you suffer. They watch you suffer. You should've told me, but you left me far behind. But in some sense, one day, when people look at you, you'll feel shame. Shame you left my life so soon. See, I know, the pain. Now maybe I didn't mean to treat you oh so bad and then maybe some would say your life was sad but...you lived it anyway. They. Your friends they come and watch you crumble to the ground, they watch you suffer. They're the ones holding you down. And maybe, it was never me.
"Your life is sad."
He spat this out with disgust evident in his tone, turning around and slamming the door as he left.
There was a time when he stood with me through it all; my highs and lows, my falling, my flying. There is a limit to a person's patience, however kind they might be. His wore thin eventually, watching me destroy myself slowly through every means possible. As I crumbled, when he would have once held out his hands to catch the pieces; now he simply watches.
"I lived it anyway." I mumbled at the closed door, waiting.
Best Friends Forever
Sitting against your headstone, I leaned reaching to brush the leaves aside.
“I Couldn't share the pain, and watch you suffer! I hate heroin”, I cried out.
Memories began flooding my mind and our favorite songs like “Far Behind”, creating an eerie sadness in my heart.
“Some would say your life was sad but you lived it anyway. I never thought you’d touch it after seeing your parents flying oh so high. They left you far behind too”, I whispered.
All I see is you, in ICU hooked to machines on the cold day when you lost control.
