Best Song Lyricme Poems
(my lyrics for a country song, but with no music yet.)
Well, my momma -bless her soul - she brought me up good.
She taught me all she knew and she taught me what she should,
She took me to a church and she made me knock on wood.
Still, Honey, I’m a half-baked sinner.
‘Cause I’m sittin’ here and thinkin’ that you’re look’in mighty fine.
You set my heart to pound’in and I’d like to make you mine.
But I’m such a careful gal though I walk a thin line,
Yeah, Honey, I’m a half-baked sinner.
Chorus:
Oh, a half-baked sinner; that’s all I am.
Stuck here in the middle of “Nowhere Land.”
A half-baked sinner, I’m God’s little joke,
but I still have my spirit ‘cause I’m only half-broke!
Well, I’m contemplatin’ things with you I’m not supposed to do.
If I’m halfway to Hell, they’ll put me all the way through!
But I’m only HALF-stupid - unlucky for you!
Yes, Honey, I’m a half-baked sinner.
Yes, I know you’ve got your pride, but listen, so do I.
I might not tell the truth, but I sure don’t tell no lie!
And I never will give in, for if you ask me why,
It’s because I’m just a half-baked sinner.
Repeat Chorus:
Oh, a half-baked sinner; that’s all I am.
Stuck here in the middle of “Nowhere Land.”
A half-baked sinner, I’m God’s little joke
but I still have my spirit ‘cause I’m only half-broke!
Inspired by one of my favorite bands, Rise Against, and the song is called,
“Ever-changing” (Acoustic). Please listen to this song if you don’t know of it. It’s raw &
powerful.
“Have you ever been a part of something? That you thought would never end. But then, of
course, it did.” –Rise Against
“I fell in ‘Like’ with you”
With her smile
I melted unto oblivion’s redemption
Candy coated perceptions, windows’ gap
Seeping brilliance refreshment
Uncertainty resolution, polished
Absorbed into closeness sun
Yet these eyes still…see
Butterflies taking notice, missing you…as you stood in front of me
Strong, yet soft legs
Foundation of my face to rest upon
Scars…fading
A cremated sin
Yet, elongated moments of silence
Created abruption’s new face
The face of change
When she turned to me and said
“I’m not sure, anymore”
Emotional lullaby, rocking me to sleep
New battles with spectral flashback
Trying to get under my skin, a drunken tick facing demise
Phoenix’s sunrise, rejuvenating my recycled defenses
Yet, today, these rays just aren’t bright enough to burn sadness away
And with these sounds of storm clouds & Fall on horizon’s breath
These grounds are so familiar, yet bittersweet
This heart doesn’t want to be enlightened by karma today
It wants to be held for how it shines now
Denied…distance wins again today
Slavery whipped punishments in miles and blocks
This must end
Because I try to keep lines open to get a call from you
Yet all I hear are booty calls with busy signals
And yet something has kept me here too long
But can they leave me, if I’m already gone?
Something has kept me here too long
Karma’s laughter
But, through it all, I will shine
…
How I wish my mere presence can bring joy’s tear to her eye
Sadly though, now, the lines are drawn
Yet I wonder if this feeling is gone
Have the best parts of this…come and gone?
…
Maybe I’ll never know the truth
Perhaps she was misguided by jealousy’s deprivation
Deteriorating heart’s splendor
While I fell in “like” with her
Perhaps “Better Man 2.0” appeared from Cloud 9’s fallacy
While I fell in “like” with her
Perhaps
She held onto the past
As I, drawn to waterfall’s edge
Allowed myself
To let go…and F

“We adore those who hurt us. Yet, we hurt those who adore us.” -Anonymous
Which road would lead me to heaven?
I've been looking for that road.
Which road would lead me to freedom?
I’ve been a slave since my birth.
Which road would lead me to sanity?
I’m going crazy with all the rules.
Oft voiceless 'neath society's shadow,
it’s time to get out of this life.
My mind's aching, my heart's slowly breaking,
they don’t realize what they are doing.
I can’t bear it all it’s time to get home,
they’re making me a fool I can’t go on.
Which road leads me to that long-lost place?
where everything is love, no trace of hate.
I’ll find it someday, tomorrow maybe,
although they’re blocking my way.
Which road would lead me to laughter?
I’ve been crying all my life.
Take my hand and come with me,
just say the word and we’ll be free.
If you could step into my shoes
Would you see the things I see,
Would your head feel dizzy like mine is now
Or would you still walk easily?
If I resisted like you do
Would I be this wreck of a girl,
Do you think I'd have turned out stronger?
... A lighter step, a happy twirl
If I was as white as you are
(Or as you seem to be)
Would I be someone's angel too?
Like the angel you are to me.
If you could step in my shoes
Would you understand my pain,
Would you have fallen just as hard
Or do you think it was all in vain?
Take a look through my eyes
And tell me what I'm doing wrong
Tell me how to fix it all
Whether the situation be short or long.
If you could step in my shoes
You'd see much better than I
Your beauty, wisdom, pure intent
Is enough to make me cry
If I could step in your shoes
I wonder what I'd see,
Would the world become more beautiful;
Does it all depend on me?
Mesmerized...she's playing with purpose
fingers delicate, skilled...searching
finding the keys that speak to me
High
Low
The notes they flow
from the baby grand she plays
emotion frays
and sways with no malaise
Stage lights light her-a blue dimension of lovely
shadow lingers on the features
brows furrowed intense
lips pursed to words intense
eyes gazed into the grand...recalling
recalling the spirit that birthed this song
She transforms...
A medium for this spirit...
I see now through her eyes...
reliving a moment I'd not lived at all
Captured completely...she sings to me sweetly
A moment she shows me her soul
She smiles back knowing--the melody flowing
pockets the heart that she stole
Liar, run, run
Falling, burn, burn
Discomfort, i did't told you to live
Spit on my face, i want you dead
Reduce to ashes, you better blow it all away
Chained down to hell, set me free
Gone to sleep, just shoot in my head
Pull the trigger, pull the trigger
You coward
You've gone too far
Bless me god, i can take you down now
Hate me forever, eternity will not save you
Liar, i want you dead
Hater, your gonna hate me more
Lying to me, better spit on my face
Candles, are place in line for your welcome
So long i waited
So far has gone
I know i made the mistake to let you live one more night
Still i breath
Not long before dead
Wait one more
One more night of survival
Long distant screams
Can you hear it?
Is you child's mercy
I don't care how much i do
Is my last line
I will slice my blade on him
Blood splatters the wall
The wall my name is placed on
Mercy for dead i may not ever have
Eyes of god have seen worst these days
Don't tell me im dead
I fell more alive killing your creation
Jail's broke loose
I can see you suffer deep inside
This streets will never tell how to survive
You exposed the child to my hands
Run, run away
No were to hide anyways
So long i waited
So far has gone
I know i made the mistake to let you live one more night
Still i breath
Not long before dead
Wait one more
One more night of survival
I can feel your hate
To me and will always be me
Because i took the step no one else did before
Crushing you dream's with axe and hammer
Your mind is weak
I took down your defenses
No were to hide and no were to run
Run, run
There's no were to hide
Hide, hide
There's no were to run
Twist it sideways
Still the same story
Make me cry
You wont ever see me sad
So long i waited
So far has gone
I know i made the mistake to let you live one more night
Still i breath
Not long before dead
Wait one more
One more night of survival
The more we wait
The better will be
For me indeed
I can see you smile
The day we married
The pact we made
Real forever
And dead tonight...
Mama always told me
girl you must be wise
the Devil's out there somewhere
and he's wearing a disguise
he will try to trick you
with his evil ways
and he will make a fool of you
with the games he plays.
Listen to me baby
he could be headed your way.
I tried to heed her warning
was good as I could be
keeping all those eager men
so far away from me
then I met a stranger
who had a gentle way
and when he took me by the hand
I heard my mama say
you better watch your step now
don't let him lead you astray.
He was so very charming
and I was so unwise
he had such a handsome face
and oh such pretty eyes
his laughter was appealing
so were the words he said
and when he looked deep in my eyes
I really lost my head.
Please forgive me Mama
I should be heeding what you said.
His love was sweet and tender
it took my breath away
he held me through the cold dark nights
and loved me through the day
he told me that he needed me
so I gave him my heart
that's when he sent it straight to Hell
and tore it all apart.
I tried to listen Mama
but he had me from the start.
The Devil's out there somewhere
so girl's I must advise
beware of handsome strangers
they may have Devil eyes
he'll tempt you with his laughter
and with the things he'll say
don't look too deep into those eyes
'cause you will rue the day.
Listen to me ladies
he could be headed your way.
You were just a fairy tale
a dream that sometimes felt so real
a secret I kept safely locked away
You were there and I was here
and never would I ever dare
that is until one very crazy day
Then all at once it hit me
like nothing else I've ever known
I have tried to calm this storm
but since then it has grown
and I have tried to tame this beast
but I've been overthrown
and know I'm ready to admit
what I have always known
You're a dream that's oh so real
and I love how you make me feel
and this feels something like a dream come true
I could never stay away from you
Caught between Heaven and Hell
I've been captured by your spell
please show me all the magic you can make
And when my body cries for you
there is nothing I won't do
and what you want to give me I will take
Since this whole thing started
you haven't seen the tears I've cried
but I know you've seen me tremble
and you know how hard I've tried
You've watched me struggle with myself
then try to run and hide
You've watched me come right back again
and swallow all my pride
I've been weak more times than strong
but whether this is right or wrong
you must know the same thing that I do
I could never walk away from you
I don't know where this will go
and I don't really need to know
I just know I need you close to me
You said you'd always be my friend
and I will trust you to the end
but don't forget you are my fantasy
I'm so wrapped up in desire
sometimes it takes my breath away
sometimes it seems so many things
are standing in our way
and sometimes I can't tell you
all the things I need to say
but then you take me in your arms
and everything's okay
With your love I am set free
you know you mean the world to me
and I would go through Hell to be with you
because I am in Heaven when I do

I left my hometown and didn't much look back,
headed southward bound in my Cowboy Cadillac,
arrived at this store to grab me some snacks,
Yea, they're right about this town, of how it really attracks,
Yea, here in the town called Nashville, where the Grand Ole Opry's on TV,
They say it's the real deal, where upcoming singers need to be,
but I don't do much singing, 'cause the hound dogs howl at me,
though I sure hope it's worth bringing, my songs, for some to see,
I've got them on the internet, downloading them is free,
I haven't had any right connections yet, but I'm hoping patiently,
gonna find me country singer, try to pitch them a dog gone hit,
like pitching a horseshoe ringer, you know you just can't quit,
Yea, here in the town of Nashville, where the Grand Ole Opry's on TV,
they say it's the real deal, where even writers need to be,
no, I don't do much singing, 'cause the hound dogs howl at me,
but I sure hope it's well worth bringing, my songs, for some to see,
Yea, here in the town of Nashville, where the Grand Ole Opry's on TV,
they say it's the real deal, where upcoming singers hope patiently,
Got some songs to pitch the singers, like me, they just can't quit,
like making a horseshoe ringer, knowing one of them could hit,
I've got them at Poetry Soup, where printing them is free,
log on in, enjoy the view, it's finger friendly as can be,
become a welcomed member, without any sort of fee,
no matter what's your gender, or your nationality,
Yea, here in the town of Nashville, where the Grand Ole Opry's on TV,
they say it's the real deal, where upcoming singers need to be,
Gonna find me a country singer, try to pitch them a dog gone hit,
like throwing a horseshoe ringer, knowing you just can't quit,
Yea, I left my hometown and didn't much look back,

Yea, they're right about this town, of how it really attracks.
I admit what I did was wrong
And for six months I tried to hold out and be strong
But your sister’s advances were persistent
She just didn’t want to leave me alone
She would grope me in the basement
And kiss me in the corridor
She’d feel me in the kitchen
And whisper she can do me better as long as I didn’t tell a soul
She would touch me in the basement just behind the storage wall
Then she would stroke me in the boiler room and have herself a ball
Your sister was promiscuous and didn’t care to stop
All she wanted was to steel me from you so she climbed up on top
In her mind she was older
And tried to justify her lustful actions as being right
And even though she too had a boy friend
Her jealousy ran deep because it was me she wanted to keep
Her imagination had convinced me too
That you were sleeping between the sheets
She planted this view in the back of my mind of John and you
I didn’t know and couldn’t discern what was right
She didn’t want a condom
She made that very clear
All she wanted was my seed
So she rode me like a bull to breed
From the stroking and petting
To the hugging and tonguing
She would bend over easy
But wouldn’t swallow a drop
A thought comes to mind
Why do I post this on line
Because this is only part of the story
To simply hurt you the way you did me
They say karma has a kick
That is fine with me
I have a temper with an onion to peel
I hold back no more as the truth shall set me free
From our actions to our deeds
My desires as a writer run deep
In Buddhism they say to reflect and let go and be saved
or give your pain to Jesus and everything will be ok
I have triggered a beast of suppressed anger by remembering
I have danced through fire the door way of lust
I sacrificed my heart and created a hole in my soul
But I could not save a love that meant the most to me
Look at me, boy how things have changed
Don’t know how life got so rearranged
Never saw it coming but it feels so good
One day my eyes, my heart, my soul opened up
Life’s been full of surprises since I was a young pup
Your love is what saved me, and it feels so good
Can’t plan it, or force it, love will come to you
Can’t tell you how often, can’t even tell you who
Life’s hard and sometimes things just get in the way
But if you’re open to it, love will come to you and stay
Sometimes we’re blessed to find what really matters
To our hearts content, nothing’s left in tatters
Didn’t think this way for a long time, why couldn’t I see?
Now look at me, now look at me
Having a drink in an old country bar
Sitting with strangers, listening to a guy play guitar
The bar tender looks twelve, pours another beer
Three old men talking loud force me to me hear
It’s been a hell of a week working in my torn dungarees
Has me thinking is this how it ought to be?
Then I smile, ‘cause it might not have turned out okay
If in 3rd grade, Mrs. Harrington hadn’t sat me in your way
You’re the best thing that ever happened to me
Just to see your smile makes it all as it should be
I wasn’t this way for a long time, why couldn’t I see?
Now look at me, now look at me
One old man sees the smile on my face and says
Your newlywed glow will soon be gone without a trace
Didn’t have the heart to tell him it’s been fifteen years
Since I fell in love with you forever, ‘cause it’s the heart that hears
As I drive up to our house that night
I remember the last time we sat and cried
Expecting our first child, we were so scared
Thinking back on that time, so special and shared
Sometimes we’re blessed to find what really matters
To our hearts content, nothing left in tatters
Been this way a long time, why couldn’t I see?
Now look at me
Look at me
In my car with the soft top down
Driving down an old country road
I’m taking it all in but my head’s about to explode
When you looked at me that way
I can still remember the very day
I find myself smiling just thinking of you
The world through your love is such a great view
With thoughts of you running though my head
I feel like I’m in a movie but I wish you were here with me instead
Here with me instead
That farm over there has its own story
Of hard work and love, and maybe faded glory
We’ll have our time just you and me girl
I wouldn’t trade it for the whole world
I know I’m in love and it’s so surprising
Being part of your life is so revising
I’m so in love that I don’t want to sleep
Life with you is better than a dream
With thoughts of you running though my head
I feel like I’m in a movie but I wish you were here with me instead
Here with me instead
As the world fly’s by my thoughts are in rhyme
And your simple sweet face conquers my whole mind
I’ve stopped somewhere to take in the view
My love for you baby will forever renew
With thoughts of you running though my head
I feel like I’m in a movie but I wish you were here with me instead
Here with me instead
Here with me instead

propriocetion of an unhappy deltoid
the eyeball flambé of envy
and other itches stitches palsies and gouts
shout give up, throw it in, it’s too much!
such suggestions never make me waver
rather raise a stubborness in my endeavour
ring a bell far out in my stormy sea
inchcape finisterre inistrahull light
oh no stubborness is the star
stops me bailing out
keeps me bailing
in the teeth of howl gales bark
though land and home and sky are out of sight
and my unwilling bark
fills fast in time’s approaching night
and all is mist and sea’s unstable carp.

"Without You"
By M. Taha Effendi
(Ballad)
Every day without her I spend crying,
praying there's always a smile on her face.
i'm tired of hiding from her that i'm lying,
i'm tired of hiding that i'm losing my grace.
She called me last night to ask if i'm well.
I lied,"i have a girlfriend now... I'm alright."
she's unaware, actually i'm going through hell,
for i still dream about her every single night.
I still walk the streets alone, she doesn't know,
every night i think of her with someone else.
With every tear i shed, my love will only grow,
can't she see that when i lost her, i really fell?
but I'll never let her know that i'm hurt,
I'll hide my face from her whenever i frown.
and I'll fake a smile when it hurts me the most,
because I don't want to cast her down.
I'll tell her only what she wants to hear,
just so that she won't feel so bad.
I'll pretend to her that I do not care,
because I don't want to make her sad.
Every day without you I spend crying,
but I still pray there's a smile on your face.
and in my heart I sure feel like dying,
because your memories I just cant erase.
You'll hear from me everything that you need,
just so that you won't feel so bad.
I'll pretend to you that I do not bleed,
because I dont want to make you sad.
