I wanted to go for something simple and loud this time. I like the chorus more than the verse. I couldn't figure out what to do with that kind of chord structure.

Lyrics:
We are so blind to the little strings which tie our brains
No shame
We take these drugs to swallow down and drown our pains
No blame

I don't accept you I don't respect you
I overlooked you I mistook you
and rationalize it and compromise it
and make myself feel tall and you feel small
I think I'm better And I must sever
All my commitments To the system
Dont' understand you I can't stand you
I only look out for my own  leave you alone

I'm sick of giving to the living Self contradiction is my mission
Don't recognize my mistaken lies  I keep it all for my own; leave it alone
You can't take it you can't erase it my disillusion, my confusion
I shout loudly, I bleat proudly If I am ugly enough, then they'll think I'm tough

I managed to unpack all of my recording equipment today and write a song. I feel that with this song I had a lot of disjointed ideas that each should have been made into their own songs. I'm not very happy with it.

Lyrics:
Do I have to believe, everything I see?
In the beauty of the sun, that shines in everyone

That's not the way it is. I can't swallow this
I won't accept the fact. No, I can't purchase that
I can't purchase that

Maybe I'm alone or I can't recognize my own
But I find that kind of weird. It fills me with such fear

Zombies, everyone and they're having too much fun
Eating other's brains. It's clinically insane
It's clinically insane


Something's amiss in the smell of this
Something rotten is going down somewhere underground
Something's not right; the subtle stench of fright
Something big is going down somewhere underground

You may say I'm crazy but I tell you I'm not
I'll overturn your every secret that you think you've got

Its not all in my head -- the creatures beneath my bed
And everyone I know is betting on the show

Don't you lie to me with your cameras and TVs
You're messing with my brain
You're messing with my brain
It's clinically insane
It's clinically insane

I just got back from Christmas Break, and was looking at some of the stuff I was recording before I left. I decided that I really couldn't take this one much further, so here it is.

EDIT: In case you're wondering, I was inspired by overhearing an amateur death metal band live at my school.

I have a ton of homework, so rather than do it, I wrote a song today! I'm pretty happy with this one, save for the ending, which was sort of hacked together.

I'm so afraid of letting you go
Where I can be I just don't know
I'm trapped in a cage without a floor
You hold the keys to the door

I don't want to drift apart
Throw me the lifesaver, throw me your heart
Then we can pull each other in
I don't want to be alone
Throw me the lifesaver, throw me your phone
Then we can pull each other in

My body shakes from head to toe
My mind is racing to and frow
Thinking that you can't remember my name
Things will never be the same

I'm terrified of the coming storm
I keep you close to stay warm
But you want to go out into the rain
Your happiness causes me pai

I recorded this song fairly quickly. Unfortunatley this means that the vocals are a bit sloppy, so I don't like them that much. I wrote it while feeling jealous about a certain ex-girlfriends new boyfriend.

I'm not angry i'm  just a bit irrational and
I'm just jealous  I know it's unintentional and
I don't hate you but I'm not comprehensible and
The way I treat you Is very reprehensible

I hate this jealousy From which I can never be free
I'm sick of leaving my mark Of thrashing around in the dark

It's not healthy To hide it all inside of me
To stay in silence and never let it leave my head
I know its going to  Blow the cap off the top
I shake it up just to see the bubbles rising up

Frankly i'm in a bad position
don't you know it? I'm living life in the
ocean and I'm drowing slowly
This conversation is imploding
and its going nowhere so I'll talk to myself
and maybe I'll get somewhere

When he kisses you I feel like
He is punching me In the gut with no responsibilities
His intentions are surely to be good to you
But I can't keep him  from eating my intestines out
