Welcome In The Dawn

(Posting songs Alena specifically said she liked: Welcome In The Dawn, followed by Touch Your Heart, Am I One Of Them,  and All These Stolen Rainbows! :)  However, I may not have time to post them all in one day... :/ Just be patient...)

Welcome in the dawn,

Welcome in the dawn,

Don't say goodbye,

Don't walk away,

Before you find,

The words to say,

To welcome in the dawn,

Welcome in the dawn.

Don't hurt yourself,

And get lost,

Don't pay the price,

Just count the cost,

To welcome in the dawn,

Welcome in the dawn.

Don't leave me here,

Upon a shelf,

Don't show your fear,

Just show yourself,

To welcome in the dawn,

Welcome in the dawn.
Don't forget,
You're only hope,
Forget regret,
And the end of your rope,
And welcome in the dawn,
Welcome in the dawn.
Don't tie the noose,
To hang yourself,
Listen for new,
That could mean help,
And welcome in the dawn,
Welcome in the dawn,
Welcome in the dawn,
Welcome in the dawn,
Welcome in the dawn,
Welcome in the dawn.

Pain

You can't just wash the pain away by crying,

No, no,

And you'll just give the pain away by dying,

I know, I know,

And there's no good in trying to hide it,

No, no,

You can just save the pain for another day,

Save the pain for another day,
Save the pain for another day.

Footsteps in the hall fade away,
As you forget the memory;
One day it will come back to haunt you,
But right now there's nothing you can do.
 You can't just wash the pain away by crying,

No, no,

And you'll just give the pain away by dying,

I know, I know,

And there's no good in trying to hide it,

No, no,

You can just save the pain for another day,

Save the pain for another day,
Save the pain for another day.

The cuts are too deep to try to cure,
And deeper down you can't be sure,
If you want to be fixed, anyway,
Or just watch your blood drain away.

You can't just wash the pain away by crying,

No, no,

And you'll just give the pain away by dying,

I know, I know,

And there's no good in trying to hide it,

No, no,

You can just save the pain for another day,

Save the pain for another day,
Save the pain for another day.

You find dark corners in your mind to hide,
And the people can't believe you've left them behind,
Yet there you are, and not the same,
As you patiently drive yourself insane.

You can't just wash the pain away by crying,

No, no,

And you'll just give the pain away by dying,

I know, I know,

And there's no good in trying to hide it,

No, no,

You can just save the pain for another day,

Save the pain for another day,
Save the pain for another day.

The rain hasn't leaked inside yet,
But your coverlet is wet,
Because all you can do is sit and cry,
And you don't even know if you remember why.

You can't just wash the pain away by crying,

No, no,

And you'll just give the pain away by dying,

I know, I know,

And there's no good in trying to hide it,

No, no,

You can just save the pain for another day,

Save the pain for another day,
Save the pain for another day.
Save the pain for another day,
Save the pain,

Save the pain,

Save the pain,

Pain,

Pain.

Tic-Tac-Toe Melody

< I LIKE THIS ONE!!! What do YOU think??? :D>

Last summer was a parody,

Or your favorite melody,

Criss-cross,

Applesauce,

On the sand,

Playing Tic-Tac-Toe.

The waves crashed against me,

Like a raging storm.

Up and down,

All around,

But I reach for your hand,

And you squeeze it tight.

Salty foam gathered in my eyes,

And tears dripped on my lips,

Fresh and wet,

Forget,

Just forget,

The pain I used to know.

The sand stuck to my feet like slippers,

Warm and comforting like a long lost dream,

Fairy dust,

Pick-up rust,

Sweet and salty,

Like the chocolate pretzels on our paper plates.

The sun shone on your hair,

And I froze your image forever in my mind,

Camera film,

Ocean foam,

Leaning back,

To laugh at the seaweed on my head.

Last summer was a parody,

Of your favorite melody,

Criss-cross,

Applesauce,

On the sand,

Playing Tic-Tac-Toe.

This summer is a parody,

On my favorite melody,

Criss-cross,

Applesauce,

On a bean-bag chair,

We've all bee there;

To that time we think "we'll never know"...

This summer is a parody,

On my favorite melody,

Criss-cross,

Applesauce,

On a bean bag chair.

Playing Tic-Tac-Toe to side-track my mind,

We'll never know...

We'll never know...

We'll never know...

And some of us have yet to care.

 

Captive

I'm not so sure I want to be set free,

At least I'm safe while in captivity,

Safe from myself...

I can't make any mistakes if I can't make my own choices,

And the clanging of the chains blocks out all the voices,

In my head...

REFRAIN:

So be careful what you wish for,

It's not always so lovely,

And sometimes it's safer to tell lies,

Than let the truth set you free,

And the monster doesn't know it,

But he protects you from the monster that you could be.

My eyes are accustomed to the dark and dirt,

And my heart couldn't endure as much as my body's hurt,

Nor could my mind...

My cup holds my blood, my plate holds my bones,

At least I'm not dead; I'd die on my own,

Here I'm not alone...

REFRAIN

The serpents are now waking,

They've no conscience against taking,

Anything from me...

I can do without my memory,

So long as they don't set me,

Free today...

REFRAIN

Everything You Do

I'm learning to love like you,

To play the tricks you do,

To trust people just like you,

I'll do everything you do.

I'm learning my hate from you,

Don't be surprised if we are through,

Or if I stay out drunk all night;

I'm doing everything you do.

Yeah, and I'll be hurt and lonely,

But you will be, too,

And I'll have all your ex's for a party,

'Cause that's just what you'd do.

<... This isn't what I remember this song being like... Oh, well. This is a stupid song I wrote a long time ago. Don't take anything seriously. :P >

Just A Little Scared You Love Me

I want to be friends,

I want to talk to you,

I don't want to turn aside,

I don't want to be rude.

REFRAIN:

I'm just a little scared that you love me,

And I know that I can't say the same.

I'm just a little scared that you love me,

If you do, 'just friends' ain't the same.

I'm not the sort who likes to break hearts,

And if you want more than I can give,

You'll refuse what little I've got.

Oh, no!

Love can tear friendship apart.

I'm just a little scared that you love me,

And I know that I can't say the same.

I want to be there,

When you are feelin' down,

I don't want to be cruel,

I don't want to give out.

REFRAIN

I want to be calm,

And I want to be fair,

I don't want to hesitate,

I'm just a little scared.

REFRAIN

The Night The Tears Stopped Coming

< Eh, this isn't exactly a song I guess, but I had to write it down, and this seemed like the place it belonged. It's kind of... spooky? Well, not spooky... You'll see. But I like it; it's my weird "Edgar Allan Poe" personality, I guess. :) >

Someone who was no longer a child,

But not quite an adult,

Sat and stared at the stars,

On the night they realized,

The tears weren't coming anymore.

They thought,

"I could have died;

I could have died before half the people I know,

Were even born.

Do I care?

I don't care.

I just realized my world was made to crumble,

I just realized I don't care anymore.

What's to care about?

If  it doesn't get better,
It can only get worse,
And if it get's worse,
Than this is nothing to worry about."
The stars shone on their face,
But not tears;
That was the night the tears stopped coming.
It happened when a part in their chest,
Expanded like a balloon;
Too full, but so empty and hollow,
You couldn't empty it.
It wasn't their stomach,
Or their heart;
It was just an empty space,
And when that empty space expanded,
It pressed their heart and stomach,
And everything,
Up against their chest,
Squeezing them tight, tight, tight,
Trying to squeeze out the last tears,
But the tears had stopped coming.
So they looked at the stars,
Brushing hair out of their dry eyes,
And whispered, "I am..."
But they did not finish.
When the tears stop coming,
You are not the same person anymore;
When the tears stopped coming,
They did not know who they were.
It was a very hot night,
And it usually is.
Maybe the heat expands the hollow space,
Crushing your inner being and changing who you are,
And dries the tears away forever,
Or maybe not;
Maybe it's just a coincidence that the day you change forever,
Is the day you're sweating like a dog.
They didn't care either way,
And they slept under the stars,
On the hard ground,
Just to prove they didn't care anymore.
They didn't care, not really.
The tears had stopped coming.
 And even if they did care,
No one would ever know.
No one would know what the person under the stars was thinking.
Ever again.
That's what happens when the tears stop coming.

It Is You I Love After All

Sometimes I see a light go out in the sky,

And I can't help but wonder if it's you that had to die.

And every chance I get I light a candle in the wall,

'Cause it is you, it is you I love after all.

Sometimes life feels like a Paradise,

And there are other times when everybody cries,

And don't think that I'm the exception to these rules,

'Cause it is you, it is you I love after all.

There are days when I wonder why I sent you away,

And there are other days when I think I'll be okay,

But any reassuring thought is all for naught,

'Cause it is you, it is you I love after all.

Sometimes I wonder where you could be,

And I wish that I could somehow bring you back to me,

But the space between us is a cast, unending sea,

Between me and the one that I love.

Carry On

     < A little song I came up with while I was on vacation, because I was bored and haven't posted on  Sing Along Blogger since June. It could use some editing... but for now, just enjoy it the way it is!>

Sometimes life is tougher than just being in love,

And sometimes wanting to do the right thing isn't enough.

Sometimes what you think is right turns out to be wrong,

And sometimes you've got to wonder why life has to take so long.

But carry on, You carry on, Just carry on.

Sometimes your friends will leave you choking on their dust,

And sometimes you feel like you joints are full of rust.

Sometimes you just cry when you hear a certain song;

You think you're strong enough to hide it, but turn out to be wrong.

But carry on, You carry on, Just carry on.

Sometimes the world falls apart around you,

And pressures you into things you shouldn't do.

Sometimes you think there's plenty, then all of it is gone,

And sometimes you just don't want to carry on.

But carry on, You carry on, Just carry on.

Sometimes they'll pull you to the dance floor,

And you don't think you can take anymore.

Sometimes you'll end up disappointed,

And what you want's not what you wanted.

But carry on, You carry on, Just carry on.

Sometimes you just wish the race was done,

And sometimes you don't even care who won.

Sometimes you just want to hide,.

And sometimes you spill everything you bottled up inside.

But carry on, You carry on, Just carry on.

But carry on,

You carry on,

Just carry on.

Carry on...

Carry on...

Carry on....
