CantGiveItAway Posted September 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2011 (edited) Will you FIGHT like the DEVIL, to just, keep your head, above WATER ~~~Chained, to whatever, you got, that you cant, throw away ~~~And youre shootin' through SPACE, on this river, of life, that youre RIDIN'~~~And its squirlin' and suckin', you deeper on down everyDAY ~~~So you turn to your, trustee, old partner, to share, some old feelin's ~~~And you find, to your shock, that your faithful, companion, is GONE ~~~ (roll on Stephen) ~~~And the TRUTH slowly dawns, that youre, LOST and ALONE in DEEEEEEP water ~~~And you dont even know, how much longer, there is ~~~~~~ to go, on ~~~~~~Like an old holy bible, you clung to, through so many seasons ~~~With the rules of survival, and words, you could still understand ~~~When they prove somethin' wrong, you believed in, so long you go CRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAZY ~~~And youre so close, to foldin', the cards, that you hold, in your hand ~~~Singin' HOLY, toledo, I cant see the LIIIIIIIIIGHT anymore ~~~All those, horizons that I, used to guide me are GONE ~~~And the DARKNESS, is drivin' me farther, away from the SHORE ~~~~~~Take from, a rhyme, or a reason, to try to go on ~~~ Edited April 4, 2013 by CantGiveItAway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CantGiveItAway Posted September 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2011 (edited) Hello darkness, my old friend...Ive called, to talk with you, again...Because, the vision softly, creepin'...Left its seeds, while I was sleepin'...And the vision that was planted, in my, brainStill remains...Within'......The Sound, Of SilienceRestless dreams, I walked alone...Narrow streets of cobblestone...Neath the halo, of a, street lamp...I turned! my collar, to the cold, and damp...When my eyes were stabbed, by the flash! of a neon, lightThat split the, night...And touched......The Sound, Of Silence...And in the naked light I saw...Ten thousand people, maybe more... People talking without, speaking...People hearing, without, listening...People writing, songs, that voices, never shareAnd no one, dared...Disturd......The Sound, Of, SilenceFools said "I, You do not know"...Silence like a cancer GROWS...Hear my words, that I might, teach you...Take my arms, that I might reach out to you...But my, words, like silent, raindrops, fellAnd echoed...In the wells, of silence...And the people, bowed and prayedTo, the neon God, they made...And the sign! flashed its, warning...And the words, that it was forming...Said "The words, of the prophets!, are written! on the subway walls"And, tenement halls...And whispered, in......The Sound, Of Silence......I dont drink the way, that I used toReally, that just aint my, style...And the hard, times, dont hurt, like they once, did...They pass more quickly, like when I, was wild...And somehow, I learned how, to listen......to a sound, like the sun, goin', down...In the magic!...the mornin'!, is briiiiinnnngggin'...theres a Song, For The Life, I have found...Those mid-summer days, aint to heavyThey just flow, like a breeze, through my mind...And nothin', appears, in a hurry...To make up, for some old, lost time...And somehow, Ive learned how, to listen......to a sound, like, the sun goin', down...In the magic!...the mornin'!, is briiiiinnnngggin'...theres, a Song, For The Life, I have found...Somehow, I learned how, to listen......to a sound, like the breeze, dyin', down...In the magic!...the mornin'!, is briiiiinnnngggin'...theres, a Song, For The Life, I have, found...

Athena Posted October 15, 2011 Report Share Posted October 15, 2011 CGIA, I love that song. Brings back memories. Here's another i love from from that time zone:If you could read my mind loveWhat a tale my thoughts could tellJust like an old time movie'Bout a ghost from a wishin' wellIn a castle dark or a fortress strongWith chains upon my feetYou know that ghost is meAnd I will never be set freeAs long as I'm a ghost that you can't seeIf I could read your mind loveWhat a tale your thoughts could tellJust like a paperback novelThe kind that drugstores sellWhen you reach the part where the heartaches comeThe hero would be meBut heroes often failAnd you won't read that book againBecause the ending's just too hard to takeI'd walk away like a movie starWho gets burned in a three way scriptEnter number twoA movie queen to play the sceneOf bringing all the good things out in meBut for now love, let's be real* I never thought I could ACT this way *And I've got to say that I just don't get itI don't know where we went wrongBut the feelin's goneAnd I just can't get it backIf you could read my mind loveWhat a tale my thoughts could tellJust like an old time movie'Bout a ghost from a wishin' wellIn a castle dark or a fortress strongWith chains upon my feetBut stories always endAnd if you read between the linesYou'll know that I'm just tryin' to understandThe feelin's that you lackI never thought I could feel this wayAnd I've got to say that I just don't get itI don't know where we went wrongBut the feelin's goneAnd I just can't get it back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CantGiveItAway Posted March 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2013 The angels were singin' , a sad counrty songIt sounded, like somethin' of yours...With a conscience as clear as the tear, in your eyeAnd a heart, beaten golden and pure...And I felt all the feelins, we said down in songTore, from the body and soul...And the fortunes that faded, like stars into daylightAnd teardrops, we turned into gold...Every hard rockin' wreck, on the highwayEvery heart broken rule, of the road...Every true thing we wrote on the wind, is still singin'Love, is The Last Thing To Go...Love, is the reason, we happened at allAnd it paid for, the damage we done...And it bought us the freedom, to fall into graceOn our way, to our place in the sun...Every hard rockin' wreck on the HIGHwayEvery heart broken rule, of the road...Every true thing we wrote on, the wind is still singinLove, is The Last Thing To Go...
