Your Child

Brown hair,

Green eyes,

The spittin' image of you.

And you, oh you, conceived me,

And you, oh you, taught me.

People don't understand,

They think that I'm too wild,

But I'm still your child.

Confessed,

Depressed,

The same things that you went through.

And you, oh you, found me,

And you, oh you, forgave me,

Even though I sin again, again, again,

I guess I'm just that wild,

But I'm still your child.

Refused,

Confused,

A failure just like you,

And you, oh you, give hope to me,

And you, oh you, inspire me.

Even when I feel lost out in the wild,

I know I'm still your child.

Crying,

Denying,

As you say that you're dying.

And I, oh I, don't believe you,

'Cause I, oh I, still need you,

And I, thought I'd run away,

But I'm not that wild,

And I'm still your child.

Blood-red flowers,

Long, anxious hours,

I stand up as the new head,

And I, oh I, will miss you,

And I, oh I, don't know what to do,

'Cause I may be wild,

But I will always be,

Your docile baby child.

Battle of the Bands Lock-Down

< Yeah, I know, this isn't really what the battle of the bands is. Too bad. This was fun to write. >

We're holding out 'til ten,

They're trying to take me back,

To somewhere I never should have been.

We're busy talking,

About things we never said,

And the ones we left for dead,

In the streets.

And you're not the one to blame,

'Cause you're the one hurting now,

And every time I call your name,

I worry that I'm losing you somehow.

The clock is striking nine;

We're not ready to go.

The mad men here are mine,

Let htem have me,

Then they'll leave you alone;

I know I don't have to be here,

For you to remember.

And you're not the one to blame,

'Cause you're the one hurting now,

And every time I call your name,

I worry that I'm losing you somehow.

Stay with me, guys,

We'll get you help soon,

And under the srimson skies,

I'm sure that we can't lose,

So long as you remember who you are,

'Cause to me you'll always be the star,

Of the show.

And you're not the one to blame,

'Cause you're the one hurting now,

And every time I call your name,

I worry that I'm losing you somehow.

The crowd that was just cheering,

Has barred our way out,

If they ever really loved us,

I'm starting to doubt,

That they do now.

The only way around them,

Is to shoot them down.

And you're not the one to blame,

'Cause you're the one hurting now,

And every time I call your name,

I worry that I'm losing you somehow.

When people get this serious,

Being in a band is a dangerous job,

But if we can keep playing through this,

I know we will survive this mob.

I only wished I told them,

That I loved them one more time,

'Cause I'm not as sure as I sound.

And you're not the one to blame,

'Cause you're the one hurting now,

And every time I call your name,

I worry that I'm losing you somehow.

 No, you're not the one to blame,

'Cause you're the one hurting now,

And everytime I call your name,

I worry that I'm losing you somehow.

No you're not the one to blame,

And I jsut can't lose you right now.

I Still Feel: This Is Real

< This is NOT real; as in, a true story. >

I wish you'd take me down,

I wish you'd blot me out,

I wish you'd break me,

But you just make me,

Something real:

I still feel.

I wish you'd chained your door,

But now I'm hurting more,

I wish you'd sent me away,

'Cause this is not okay.

I wish you break me,

Instead of make me,

Something real:

I still feel.

I didn't expect that,

This wasjust an act,

I wish you'd chained your door,

That you'd told me before.

I wish you'd told me before,

You don't love me anymore.

I said that I'm okay,

But I don't want to stay.

You don't break me,

You still make me feel:

This is real.

I wish you'd told me that,

I wish I could go back,

To when we were just friends,

Here's what I'd do then:

I would take you down,

I would blot you out,

I would break you,

'Cause I don't make you something real,

'Cause you don't feel.

I wouldn't go to my door,

I don't wnat to feel anymore.

I would send you away,

Then maybe I'd be okay.

I would break you,

'Cause I don't make you feel:

This is real.

Did you feel what you wanted to,

Or did I jsut break you?

Do you ever wish I'd take you down,

That I would blot you out,

That I'd break you?

Did I ever make you,

Something real?

Did you feel?

Do you wish I'd chained my door,

Are you hurting more?

Do you wish I'd break you?

And did I make you feel?

This is real.

I wish you'd told me that,

I wish I could go back,

Just to take you down,

So I could blot you out,

So I could break you,

I wouldn't make you,

Something real.

I would chain my door,

I won't love you anymore,

I'd send you away,

I'm gonna be okay,

I would break you,

'Cause you can't make me feel;

I'm tired of being reeled in,

It won't happen again,

I won't let you make me feel:

You'd better believe this is real,

'Cause this is real,

Yeah, this is real,

This is real.

 

That's What Freedom Means

< Despite what this may look like, it's not another song about a suicide. It's about determination...And that sort of stuff... Good stuff... You know, hard workers... >

Frowned on,

Looked down on,

Turned away.

She was young,

A reckless one,

Had to have her way.

When the world keeps crying no,

No,

When there's nowhere left to go,

Oh,

It's up to ones like these,

'Cause that's what freedom means.

Cookies,

Door to door,

Looking for,

Someone young,

A reckless one,

To help[ her get her way.

When the world keeps crying no,

No,

When there's nowhere left to go,

Oh,

It's up to ones like these,

'Cause that's what freedom means.

Rag doll,

Dusty hall,

Look away.

She felt old,

Tired and cold,

But still reckless and young,Still looking for a way.

When the world keeps crying no,

No,

When there's nowhere left to go,

Oh,

It's up to ones like these,

'Cause that's what freedom means.

Sharp knife,

A hard life,

A long day.

She died young,

The reckless one,

Who saw no other way.

When the world keeps crying no,

No,

When there's nowhere left to go,

Oh,

It's up to ones like these,

'Cause that's what freedom means.

Brother,

Still works hard,

Fights the tears,

For a sister young,

A reckless one,

Who thought she was in the way.

When the world keeps crying no,

No,

When there's nowhere left to go,

Oh,

It's up to ones like these,

'Cause that's what freedom means.

What Happened At Christmas

< I admit it- this song basically only exists because I read Calico Captive. BUT, the only similarity is that it has the word 'calico' in it. Oh, right, and I liked the random nouns idea in Incense and Peppermints. Or was it Peppermints and Incense? I can't remember. And there's that phrase. 'what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas.'>

Calico,

Mistletoe,

Dosey-Doe,

red Jello,

Laughter,

Kisses,

Mister,

Missus.

What happens at Christmas,

What happens at Christmas,

What happens at Christmas,

Stays in my heart.

Nineteen,

Little Thing,

Drama Queen,

Crime Scene,

Crying,

Kisses,

Wrong place,

No misses.

What happens at Christmas,

What happens at Christmas,

What happens at Christmas,

Stays in my heart.

Rasberry tart,

Broken heart,

Funeral cart,

Guest Chart,

Regrets,

Kisses,

Old friends,

Relatives.

What happens at Christmas,

What happens at Christmas,

What happens at Christmas,

Stays in my heart.

Wild,

Mild,

Reconciled,

Baby child,

No mother,

Kisses,

Wishes,

And misses.

What happens at Christmas,

What happens at Christmas,

What happens at Christmas,

Stays in my heart.

Iris Spoof:HUNGER GAMES VERSION

< Come on, you knew this was coming. It's not great, but hey, I just had to do it, so let me know if you ahve any suggestions. Also, am I spelling Katniss correctly? Or does it have an e? :) >

Katniss:

And I'd give up forever to save you,

'Cause I know that you can make it somehow.

You're the only one from home that I'll ever se,

And I want you to win this right now.

Peeta:

And all I could taste was your sweet lips,

And all I could feel was your fright,

And sooner or later it's over,

I jsut don't was to lose you tonight.

Katniss:

And I don't want all Panem to see me,

'Cause I don't think taht they'd understand,

When everyone's born to be broken,

I just want you to know who I am.

Peeta:

And I can't fight the mutts that are coming,

Or the help that comes with Katniss' lies.

When everything's broadcast on tv,

Yeah, I bleed just to keep her alive.

Katniss:

And I don't want all Panem to see me,

'Cause I don't think that they'd understand.

When everyone's born to be broken,

I just want you to know who I am.

Both:

And I don't want all Panem to see me,

'Cause I don't think that they'd understand.

When everyone's born to be broken,

I just want you to know who I am.

Katniss:

I just want you to know who I am,

I just want you to know who I am,

I just want you to know who I am.

This Is Not A Fairy Tale

You've come to realize,

I see it in your eyes,

That I am not the girl,

You met once upon a time.

This is not a fairy tale,

Sometimes the good guys fail;

The people in thee mirror,

Are closer than they.

If it weren't for they're smiles,

It would all be an act.

If this were a fairy tale,

There'd be a happy end,

But not everyone can be happy,

When all their stories are connected.

This is not a fairy tale,

Sometimes the good guys fail;

The people in thee mirror,

Are closer than they.

If it weren't for they're smiles,

It would all be an act.

A young girl and a young boy,

Quarreling all the time,

But the things they both enjoy,

Sometimes slip and show the truth.

This is not a fairy tale,

Sometimes the good guys fail;

The people in thee mirror,

Are closer than they.

If it weren't for they're smiles,

It would all be an act.

I Love You, The End

I've got one chance to get this song right,

And I know you're not in the audience tonight,

But I thought you ought to know what I think of you.

And everybody's here but you,

And everybody's here 'cause they love you,

And everybody's here 'cause they'll miss you,

And everybody's here 'cause they remember the crazy things you used to do,

But you went and acted like a fool,

Thinking that nobody cared.

I wish I knew where you went,

So I could tell you what you meant to me,

And there's so many letters I haven't sent,

'Cause all you said in the note was,

I got to go,

I love you,

The end.

At least I know you're still living somewhere,

But I wish that I could tell you how much I care,

And I wasted so much time hoping you'd stay longer than you said you would,

And you know I'd bring you back if I could.

And everybody's here 'cause they love you,

And everybody's here 'cause they'll miss you,

And everybody's here 'cause they remember the crazy things you used to do,

But you went and acted like a fool,

Thinking that nobody cared.

And I wish I knew where in the world you are,

And if we're looking at the same stars.

And there's so many letters I haven't sent,

'Cause all you said in the note was,

I got to go,

I love you,

The end.

 

Tears Fall

Ev'rytime,

You open up that door,

I just stand and stare.

You don't really care,

You jsut ignore,

The fact that I'm out of things to say.

Oh, and I,

Won't tell you go away,

'Cause I don't mind,

If you want to stay,

What's really hard,

Is not crying when you choose to leave.

These feelings are a roller coaster,

Up and down,

Love and doubt,

In and out,

Tears fall on a doorknob that won't stop turning,

And I keep yearning,

For the day when we can make up our minds.

The night life,

Talking to each other,

Crying on your shoulder,

'Cause you understand,

Just how I feel,

Wond'ring how much of this love is real.

These feelings are a roller coaster,

Up and down,

Love and doubt,

In and out,

Tears fall on a doorknob that won't stop turning,

and I keep yearning,

For the day when we can make up our minds.

I promised,

That I wouldn't cry,

Oh, look, you're crying,

I guess so will I,

What's to wait for,

Were we really expecting a sign?

These feelings are a roller coaster,

Up and down,

Love and doubt,

In and out,

Tears fall on a doorknob that won't stop turning,

And I keep yearning,

For the day when we can make up our minds.

These feelings are a roller coaster,

Up and down,

Lvoe and doubt,

In and out,

Tears fall on a doorknob that won't stop turning,

And I keep yearning,

For the day when we can make up our minds.

Tears keep falling,

And tears keep falling,

Tears keep falling,

And we can't make up our minds.
