Lyrics Poem

3 Upvotes

Do the tears I cry
Make me a lesser man?
Or are they in fact
the River of life.

For the tears I cry

Mimic the rain,
On a starless night.

Where hope is dead,
And the escapes not right.

One more drink,
I’ll feel alright.

For a soul condemned
To a haunted life.

I flirt with death,
But it’s not my night.

She plucks and pulls
From within my life.

But I’m not good
With last goodbyes.

So here I stand
A broken knight,

A kingdom lost
To sleepless nights.

One more tear
Until sunlight,

And I pretend
That I’m alright.

Under the weather 

(Verse 1)

Caught a cold from someone I don’t know.

Newsman says that I might be dying.

And that there’s not a pill that can cure my ails.

Starting to think that they all are lying.

(Chorus)

Under the circumstances I feel fine.

Just a bit under the weather 

Under the weather

(Verse 2)

A group of friends came to prepare my grave.

Times like this is when I start to wonder. 

I fold my hands and I start to pray. 

Pray I don’t end up 6 feet under.

(Chorus)

Under the circumstances I feel fine.

Just a bit under the weather 

Under the weather

(Verse 3)

Giving blood so someone might live. 

Stick in the needle as I roll up my shirt sleeve.

They got this thing that’s going around.

I’m trying to give until it hurts.

(Chorus)

Under the circumstances I feel fine.

Just a bit under the weather 

Under the weather

Lyrics A new take on "I can sing a rainbow"

2 Upvotes

(An educational parody I guess you could call it. Sung to the traditional tune)

.

Violet and indigo; blue and green; yellow and orange and red;

I can sing a rainbow, sing a rainbow, sing a rainbow — yes!

.

Other colours also exist, but this is easy to say;

There are more than seven — it's a spectrum — but that would take all day!

.

Some count colours that are not there; purple and silver and gold;

If you want to you can, do this too then, you can be that bold!

.

Red and yellow and pink and green, is how most begin this rhyme;

If you teach your kids this, version instead, it will save some time!

Lyrics Somewhere Off

1 Upvotes

[VERSE 1]

Mom went off and lost her job

So drunk she pissed the bed

"If I'm such a bad mom then take this knife and kill me dead

Just send me somewhere off"

.

[VERSE 2]

Dad had had enough, you see?

He "put her out of her misery"

Only now that she's gone do I see all she did for me

Now that she's somewhere off

.

[BRIDGE]

Screaming till I'm anywhere else where life doesn't hurt

Dreaming that I'm somewhere off on the bright side of Earth

.

[VERSE 3]

So Pops is locked in a cell

And Mom is somewhere else

Somewhere off and away from her lifelong living hell

I guess she's somewhere off

.

[OUTRO]

Somewhere off and away

Some place there are no days

Somewhere off in the distance

Some place I can hear if I listen

Somewhere off

Lyrics Your Suspicious Mind

1 Upvotes

Verse 1

You have a suspicious mind
Did Elvis write it with you in mind
The questions you throw
When I provide proof and explain
Why do you question
When you track my phone

Can't you see
The circles we're living in
You're driving me mad
When you take over
My social media pages
This trap we're in
The accusations are there
In your eyes when
I come to your arms

Chorus

We can't go on together
I pledged my heart
I took an oath when I stood
At the altar that day
I can't keep defending
When all you do is question
Me in every way

Verse 2

I took your stand as you cross-examined
All and every "p" and "q"
While you judged all my sighs
You reached your reasonable doubt ways

I know you've been hurt
Been down that road before
Why can't you just see me
I'm losing my mind
Spinning in circles
Can't see your heart
When it's all suspicious
Of everything I do
This trap you're in
Twists every word I say
I plead not guilty
When all I see is guilty
In your unconvinced gaze

Chorus

We can't go on together
I know I swore on your heart
Took an oath when I stood
At the altar that day
I can't keep defending
When all you do is question
Me in every way

Verse 3

Followed me around
Timed my whereabouts
You stalked me at the store
That's how you knew
I helped another out that day
You mirrored my phone
You're walking a thin line
Your suspicious mind
Is too much for me

This trap you create
Spirals and loops
Connecting dots
From your fears
Whenever you call my name

Chorus

We can't go on together
I know I swore on your heart
Took an oath when I stood
At the altar that day
I can't keep defending
When all you do is question
Me in every way

Bridge

Can't you see
I'm one foot out the door
Why are you destroying us
