Laughter On The Murder Scene

And that you
Really meant to mean it when you
Promised
To stay with me forever
To keep me safe from harm
(In your arms)

Ah! My favorite verse. That was a really good one, Tosha. I couldn't really relate to it, but it was gorgeous, nonetheless. I loved it.

*applause*

Like a Cradle to Our Sins: Dark but beautiful.

Static Lullabies Breed Wishful Thinking *claps* Beautiful as ever, Lady Tosha! A little more upbeat this time, eh?

Thankee kids.

Old song. Probably the one that conveys the strongest memories and emotions for me.

Kept Quiet on this Street Side

She feels like the world ends in your eyes
She knows that you don’t care
Take your half pity somewhere else
The tone of your voice ensnares…

Neglect and abandonment
Are two paired evils, from your movement
Raining down upon this patch of land she is confined to
Waiting gently
Watching you

They are your necessities…
She is swept aside
Like lifeless, in the tide
False hope helps her bide
This time

But come tomorrow
What are we waiting for?
We watch her sit there, stay still there
Looking for something more
Back over her shoulder
Calling him over
With a glance from her eyes to his back
Tears push behind eyes in a rapid attack
And then they are gone

We all move on…

They are your necessities…
She is swept aside
Like lifeless, in the tide
False hope helps her bide
This time

Mmmhm... it does, but it's beautifully sorrowful at points.

Nice, ominous title.
Hah, I see why you don't like it so much.

Favourite verse, indeed ^.^

Wow, Tosha. I love it. I envision it in kind of dark, punk-rockish music, kinda like Evanescense or Avril Lavigne.

I'm interested in knowing what inspired you to write this one.

Very brilliant. Kind of dark and sad. Pushed aside lifeless is a good discription. Keep it up.

What kind of music? Scremo.

insaney, Wolfen, Djinn, thank you very much.

Precisely.

So tosha, what inspired you to write that one?

-_-

Being ignored by the one person I wanted to be noticed by, and not feeling anywhere near good enough for him to so much as look at. Seeing as how I felt that way about myself, I wonder why I was even disappointed when he never so much as glanced in my direction.

We ended up together, but broke up soon after. I realized that he wasn't at all as amazing as I thought he was. Unfortunately...I realized that about a month after he dumped me.

Anyway kids =D.

These songs were written for a very good friend of mine...she once told me that she wished someone would write her a song, and we both always wondered about the girls all the bands sing about. We figured that they must be pretty amazing.

Bailee was amazing.

It's definately not the best song; it was actually one of my first, but It's special to me.

So...

Bailee’s Song


Things aren’t as bad as they seem
From the bottom
Lying on broken wings
Drowning in shattered dreams
But you know that I’ll pull you back up to your feet
Every time that you fall

You might be in denial but you’re beautiful
It’s true
It’s just a shame that you can’t see the world
The way that it sees you
But…what do you see when you looking the mirror?
Can you see behind your own eyes?
Do you wish you could change what you see there?
Do you wish you could tell yourself lies?

Things aren’t as bad as they seem
From the bottom
Lying on broken wings
Drowning in shattered dreams
But you know that I’ll pull you back up to your feet
Every time that you fall

She’s holding the gun tight
Her vision is blurred
By the tears that stain her face
She’s praying that someone will take her, take her hand
Take her away from the place
But no one hears her screams
And you know what that means
It means that she’ll turn off the light
Put the gun to the side
And she’ll stay on this ride
For one more miserable night

Things aren’t as bad as they seem
From the bottom
Lying on broken wings
Drowning in shattered dreams
But you know that I’ll pull you back up to your feet
Every time that you fall

A giggle, a smile
Keep it up for a while
And maybe they’ll believe you’re okay
You’ve been here before
You feel dead to the core
But if they found out,
What would they say?
And you feel like you’re falling apart when they ask
If there’s something you’d like to talk about
It kills you to know
That you can’t let it show
That you can’t just let it all out

Things aren’t as bad as they seem
From the bottom
Lying on broken wings
Drowning in shattered dreams
But you know that I’ll pull you back up to your feet
Every time that you fall

She’s so broken and it kills me
To look into her eyes
Because I know what’s on the outside
Is a masquerade of lies
And behind them I can see that you
Are fighting for control
Yet something’s pulling you back down
But I will never let you drown
I will never let you down

Things aren’t as bad as they seem
From the bottom
Lying on broken wings
Drowning in shattered dreams
But you know that I’ll pull you back up to your feet
Every time that you fall


So she's been talking about moving to Minnesota to live with her real dad, because she had no relationship with him. There's was a huge possibility that she would be moving over summer. The last day of school before Christmas break, we got into a fight. It was stupid, fueled by misunderstandings and jealousy. She left a few days later for her dad's house, to visit. I didn't get to say goodbye.

First day back at school and we're expecting Bailee to join us around noon. My friend calls her stepdad on her cell phone. He tells her that Bailee isn't coming home; she's staying in Minnesota with her dad.

Yay for false hopes and missed chances.

I never got to say goodbye.

Good Morning Minnesota

We all knew something beautiful
But the signs on all our faces read the same
“She is not here”
And when, in our minds, fears of the future
Finally cease to exist
We’re faced with something just like this
It feels like someone’s playing games with us
And if they are
I don’t feel like playing anymore

And the beautiful thing I’ve ever seen
Is you
angry with me
Because it was so much more
Than all the put-ons from before
So tonight we’re all dreaming
That you’ll come back to us
Because everyone needs something to adore

And always on that pretty face, a smile
Something contrasting terribly with
All the feelings that you kept inside
Everything you tried to hide
And it’s sort of like how-
I won’t look this over till it’s done
We won’t look behind us till we’ve run
So far from all these things
Then look back on everything and know
“She’s never coming home”

And the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen
Is you
angry with me
Because it was so much more
Than all the put-ons from before
So tonight we’re all dreaming
That you’ll come back to us
Because everyone needs something to adore

Why bother with long goodbyes
Or bother with goodbyes at all
No fair warning and it’s over
And we all step up and take a fall
(For you)
But that’s okay
You came and left, but came and meant
Something that no goodbye could erase
You came and left, but came and meant
Something unforgettable to this place

And the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen
Is you
angry with me
Because it was so much more
Than all the put-ons from before
So tonight we’re all dreaming
That you’ll come back to us
Because everyone needs something to adore

It feels like someone’s playing games with us
And if they are
I don’t feel like playing anymore


My, what a lovely reminiscence.

Those two songs, they are wonderful. Just like all the others.

Things aren’t as bad as they seem
From the bottom
Lying on broken wings
Drowning in shattered dreams
But you know that I’ll pull you back up to your feet
Every time that you fall

That is just <3

Good Morning Minnesota is quite sad, in a beautiful way.

It feels like someone’s playing games with us
And if they are
I don’t feel like playing anymore

sad face. ={

They´re both beautiful. Shame she left like that..

Thanks, James <3.


Pour Yourself a Glass of Best Intentions

We’re so cinematic in this shadow
And we’re so cinematic as we fall
And I am lost and panic stricken
And you know, you’ve got me up against your wall

And I can’t see what I’m against
Tell me what I am up against
And we’ll face it together
Or I’ll go

For a glorious ring
We’re intertwined
And dancing for the fates our hands collide
Can you promise me
This mystery will fade
Fade in time
Dim the lights
For this glorious ring our
Lives have intertwined
Glory fades
Love survives

And we’re so cinematic in this shadow
And we’re so cinematic as we fall

Has forever fallen on broken wings
A downward spiral
And I wonder how it feels to know you’re dying
Give me one last kiss goodnight

I find it best to leave before
I’m weighed down with promises
That I could never keep
Before I’m in too deep
Can I break away?

For a glorious ring
We’re intertwined
And dancing for the fates our hands collide
Can you promise me
This mystery will fade
Fade in time
Dim the lights
For this glorious ring our
Lives have intertwined
Glory fades
Love survives


Confined tot his circle of your faith
My life is not a game to play
I’ll drop out if it suits your taste
For I’ve fallen much too far from grace
And is it too late to see the way you thought
It’d end for me
Am I in your way
Is it too late
Oh, it’s too late

And we’re so cinematic in this shadow
And we’re so cinematic as we fall

For a glorious ring
We’re intertwined
And dancing for the fates our hands collide
Can you promise me
This mystery will fade
Fade in time
Dim the lights
For this glorious ring our
Lives have intertwined
Glory fades
Love survives

And we’re so cinematic in this shadow
Will you follow me
We’re so cinematic as we fall

Exquisite. That latest song brought forth a dark and harmonious rapture of WIN. Tosha, Pour Yourself A Glass creates a solemn, poetic feeling that locked me in. I couldn't look away from the screen. I'm impressed. ^^ I've read a lot of your stuff here, and I <3 it. Keep it up.

Beautiful. Just beautiful. That last one almost brought tears to my eyes. <3 <3 <3

These verses are my favorites.

No wthat I've played catch-up....Amazing as ever. Every song I read, every line I see, it's all so amazing. You are truly an artist with these words.

And I loved Good Morning Minnesota. Hearing the story behind it made it all the deeper. Keep it all up, kid.
