Poem
[ This song will have guitars, a choir, a few back-up singers and drums with it in the near future...enjoy your read and later, a solo recording with it. :^) It's unedited and will be changed up as soon as possible. ] (Verse 1) I remember a few nights when I was 8 (Background singers: don't worry, have no sorrow) Ever since those nights, I didn't know it was too late...(there is always tomorrow) To turn the other cheek I have no words to speak... (Drums) I know I wasn't to blame But, I still cradle this shame Inside me (x2) I need your sympathy Right now, please... Put my heart at ease... (Background singers) They don't see The pain I feel, It's no big deal... Just leave me be I need your sympathy Right now, please... Pound to the rhythm Of our heart Before we tear apart (Pre-chorus) Revenge ain't helpful at all Forgiveness made me stand tall I'm not alone, I'm not a failure And I'm stronger than I realize Don't pour out your lies And your mindless excuses I want to hear your hi's, Not your goodbyes... (Choir) Hmmmm. Hmmm. Hmm. Dealing with low self-esteem I just wanna sleep forever I just have the urge to scream I need to control my anger... Whatever floats your boat... Well, I'm not wearing your denial coat Hmm. Hmmm. Hmmmm. (Fast-paced chorus) 8...8...8...8... 8 times I forgave you on the phone I forgive you, though I'm on my own What have I become? So numb? So dumb? Can't accept myself in my skin I hadn't a clue where you've been I wish I can keep pace with your trace of grace I'm going through these bipolar blues...I'm not alone, running this race (Solo with background singers, singing ooooh's) I will give in to success I will be positive more or less I will not be sad, but I'll be glad That I'm not 8, but 18 at last It's been years since I lived with my lonely past Til I opened up so fast (Verse 2) I see the sunlight of Christ in your eyes But, what if I said 'no' to your offer instead of saying 'yes'? I'm sick of saying your lies and your silent goodbyes I still cradle this shame Inside me...I'm a marvelous mess! I was schizophrenic when I was young... I learned that as a cheery guy, what a delight... I've started to know right from wrong... I was livin' under a rock til I found His might... (Background singers) (Pre-chorus) (Choir) (Fast-paced chorus) ...etc. (Verse 3) Tryin' to renew my happiness I won't live in fear or give up, Dismiss my worthless distress I'll rejoice with a half-full cup He walked out the door!! Ignored, hurt to the core!! Dealt with a condition called depression.. While tryin' to make a good impression.. Dealing with low self-esteem I just wanna sleep forever I just have the urge to scream I need to control my anger... Ahhhhhhh oooooh mmmmm Whatever floats your boat... Well, I'm not wearing your denial coat (Choir with singer) Ah (x10) Ahhhhh Hmmmm Ahhhhh Hmmmm (Whisper with chorus in background) I forgive you frankly But it's hard to forget... What you did to me I'm happy, not upset...
