(singing for this moment-)

[Phoenix_Tears]

ok, so i did not write these, they are part of a song i really like.. by my fave band!!!
c if ya recognize um.

there's something inside me that pulls beneath the surface
consuming/confusing
this lack of self-control I fear is never ending
controlling/I can't seem


to find myself again
my walls are closing in
(without a sense of confidence and I'm convinced that there's just too much pressure to take)
I've felt this way before
so insecure

#2
I cannot take this anymore
I'm saying everything I've said before
All these words they make no sense
I find bliss in ignorance
Less I hear the less you'll say
But you'll find that out anyway
Just like before...

Everything you say to me
Takes me one step closer to the edge
And I'm about to break
I need a little room to breathe
Cause I'm one step closer to the edge
And I'm about to break

I find the answers aren't so clear
Wish I could find a way to disappear
All these thoughts they make no sense
I find bliss in ignorance
Nothing seems to go away
Over and over again

#3
Sometimes I
Need to remember just to breathe
Sometimes I
Need you to stay away from me
Sometimes I'm
In disbelief I didn't know
Somehow I
Need you to go

Sometimes I
Feel like I trusted you too well
Sometimes I
Just feel like screaming at myself
Somestimes I'm
In Disbelief I didn't know
Somehow I
Need to be alone

and finally #4
When this began
I had nothing to say
And I'd get lost in the nothingness inside of me
I was confused
And I let it all out to find/That I'm
Not the only person with these things in mind

I want to heal
I want to feel
What I thought was never real
I want to let go of the pain I've held so long
[Erase all the pain 'til it's gone]

And I've got nothing to say
I can't believe I didn't fall right down on my face
I was confused
Looking everywhere/Only to fin that it's
Not the way I had imagined it all in my mind
So what am I
What do I have but negativity
'Cause I can't justify the
Way everyone is looking at me
Nothing to lose
Nothing to gain/Hollow and alone
And the fault is my own
The fault is my own

if you read all that, lucky you. i really dunno why i am posting this really. if you havn't guessed. i worship linkin park. lol. these are really good. make good poems to i guess. always worth a read through.

Gotta love Linkin Park(sp?). Really good at evoking primal emotions; rage, fear, etc.... I listen to it alot right before a game or a track meet because it clears the mind and gets the adrenaline flowing. At the same time, you can listen to it and analyze the poetry of the lyrics and the messages in the songs.

[Phoenix_Tears]

yea. linkin park. they're my favourite band. they are just real. plus chester looks so hot(exuse me) in crawling the video. if u agree that would be weird. lol. thanks though. i just downed a entire margarita and i feel woozy so i am going to bed(i do not drink often).

Ok, I been thinkin' about this topic so here's some lyrics that make good poetry from one of my favorite bands. If you can name them, I salute you(they're Canadian, and from the West Coast). I'm probably gonna catch some $hit from this, since "rap isn't poetry" according to some people.

#1
Thinkin' of quittin'?
Do it, now's the time.
There's more job opportunities at the back of a line.
Applications, and registrations,
Feels more like an investigation.
Now how's that for a demonstration?

#2(not a poem, but my favorite quote)
___*___ __*____ adds up to one thing and you can quote this,
Temporary relief for the hopeless.

*group name

#3
Manic depression,
I panic from too much stressin'
Of course I'm sefcond guessin'
'cause life is just a question.

#4
Two steps ahead, too hard to swallow this
Eye glass reflection tubes of astrologists
Stars, galaxies, galleries of harm's way
Front and back row's untamed
Crucial, using maximum amount of brain
Grinding the edge of my axe to stay awake
Lanes shifted, stay at a distance
Half my with the sentence, hail the viscous
Double helix, mumbling rejects
Hear in the rock terrible knuckles our defense
Buckle under the enormous pressure of my prez
Since I humble those with even the most eager of intentions.

It hurts, when it works, in reverse and you find
That you truly have a mind of art
But your mouth doesn't want to help you out
When you speak and all you do is spit a line of chalk


#5
In the beginning all I hear is people singing
Deep and low with iron bells ringing
And there's a source of heat near my feet
Im so weak I pass in and out of sleep

Flashes of light blotches of colour
I yell out for help but its drown out by weather
Downpour terenchal power of the vengeful
This was all triggered by the sub-conscious central

Sweet dreams are hideous lets not confuse those
Bad dreams will find you confine you to circles
Every other movement is slowed by your mind
That's why stabbing them blind is no crime

With no REM. your bound to cave in
And life in the conscious life is quite grim
If I can't escape than I'll die in my sleep
Cause the cliff is to steep and the waters to deep


They say that most people can only dream in black and white
That's why he packs a knife and only reappears at night
I pray for the light to turn him back to stone
And shine bright enough so I can find my way home

Watching myself from above and just behind
Like im controlling video games inside my mind
Be careful what you dream for because its right there
Sometimes day dreams turn into nightmares

I've prepared the chair
electricity rumbles through the air
You don't want to have to wake up here
Its cold in the morning
Breath the eternal frost of our dawning

Plus its dark and damp
With slight hints of death
So cold im spitting icicles
Rip right through the flesh

Smoke forms with every breath
The sound of children screaming
Pinch my self I have to wake up
Afraid of dreaming



You're not the only one who can ramble. :)

[Phoenix_Tears]

i think personally they are very good lyrics(raps, poems makin). It is cool that they are canadian.i like a scottish band that is very much like beatles(meets the)beach boys. the only thing odd about them is that the lead singer is not very.. good at singing. he wines. so i like the other dude named sean. lol..

heres something funny i got off a linkin park site that chester said about their weirdest fan

"There's this 13-year-old kid from Pittsburgh. He comes up to us and goes, 'I'm stalking you dude, and when you reach the peak of your success I'm going to kill you.' Then, during the show he's down the front telling Mike that he wants to 'rape his soul'! I think that's cool, but he probably needs to chill out a bit."

Cool topic! I'm the first one to believe that (good) lyrics ARE poetry. I'll post something soon, when i'm a bit more awake than now, and when i've chosen somethign really worth it, otherwise i'd just flood you with words and words and words

(btw, i never really paid attention to linkin park, they seem to make some sense tho! good for them)
