The Start of Something Beautiful |
I'd Shake Your Hand But I'm Bleeding |
(NTB Collaboration) |
(Matt and Heather) |
Whatever it is...it just started (and it's beautiful). - [MrH] |
The oppressed striking out against musical dictatorship. - [MrH] |
You always left me with a sense of comfort
In my mind that's hard to find And you You made me see. Just think - you and me Our lives creating poetry. This life is so crazy And yet we live so happily. Never wanting, never needing change. So look back on your life The things that happened You never had the time To see what set in. Because you're not alone And it's not what I expected. When you held me tight Like you did that night I felt so many of these feelings, Things I'd never want to hide Inside my chest, so far from reach. And I'm so happy. Can't you see? You found the cure for my sick heart. You held me when I fell apart. And though they won't believe us, We know it was magic from the start. While the world's evolving, I know we will never change. |
I'm sick and tired of
Watching them go by With hatred in their eyes. It's something I despise. And I'm sick and tired of you And these things you put us through. Is there something I can do To make you understand me? So long. I've given up on dreaming. Your words are so misleading. You never listen to my heart. So why are we so self-obsessed? We drown within our loneliness. Our hearts are shut to everything we know. So tell me why you never try To open up your mind. And is it fear you hold so dear? Are you afraid that you're not right? It hurts When all you know has fallen Has fallen to the ground And every aching word you hear is not the way it sounds. You never understood me. You only tried to leave. |
My Son's a Cold Hearted Gangster and I Need a Hug |
Blame It on The Internet |
(Matt) |
(Matt) |
Hold both hands up and perform a squeezing motion... - [MrH] |
Hey, what has the Internet ever done for you? - [MrH] |
Hands open wide
Mouth shut, locked eyes He never thought that this would ever happen. He said he knew right from the start, She'd take him in and break his heart, But forever didn't matter. So many hours passed away. So many more were left to stay Inside his heart, inside his mind. He fails to realize that That they still have a chance. He knows not what he'll find. So he bit his lip and said goodbye To hopeless dreams and pointless cries. He felt so nervous, knew he couldn't leave his love behind. She was his everything. He screwed up everything With a promise that he knew he couldn't keep  |
Time
It slowly slips away With every breath I take, With every word I say. Our lives Are leading towards an end But no one can tell when This life may pass us by. When you let yourself go And ask why are we here And my only reply Was a touch to your ear If only you could understand me now. And I know it's so hard With your life how it is The unbearable things You've encountered and lived Your life has been so full of ups and downs. Change Our lives go through it all So big and yet so small Like summer into fall. This change Is something I can't bear So quick and so unfair I'm dying over here. When the weeks feel like minutes, And months feel like days, It seems like my life is just slipping away. And I'm not quite sure what my life has in store, But I'm willing and waiting; I'm ready for more. |
Jean Skirt Wednesdays |
If I Followed You Home Would You Keep Me? |
(NTB Collaboration) |
(Heather) |
Thursdays are for regular skirts. - [MrH] |
"It's just some stupid love song." - [MrH] |
With every single word you tell me,
With every single word you say, You make me oh so scared to move, girl. This feeling's never gone away. Would you try so hard to notice it? Or would you just pretend That this lie you called a life Became so useless in the end. And I hope it's not harder to fix With all these problems I can't seem to list. So let's take the next train out of here We'll pack up all our things and disappear And we'll just hope that no one sees us on the way. And we'll just cross our names right off list We'll medicate ourselves 'til we get sick And we'll just hope that everything will be okay. You never understood the problem. You never understood the price That these useless lies have caused me. Apologies just won't suffice. Did you ever understand it? Or did you just pretend That these problems that you brought me Hurt me badly in the end. I never thought I'd get this far. I never thought it'd be this hard. But sometimes you just have to say goodbye to everything. When everything's been said and done, I know that I am not the one And yet I sit around and wonder why. You never know Where you'll go. Down the road the path is hazy Sometimes life can be so crazy. You'll never see Where you'll be Another 20 years from now. Sit back and see what fate allows. |
It was a long ride
Eleven hours by car and plane It hurt me inside Every mile further drove me more insane So I kept looking out the window Wondering where the sun goes Testing all that I know To keep my mind clear But all I thought was how I felt Couldn't think of anyone else I just couldn't help myself From wishing you were here I'm 13,000 miles away (Across the ocean and sea) I think about you everyday (This can't be reality) If there was ever one thing I'd change (You would be right here with me) But you're not so far You're right here in my heart I couldn't help it It felt so wrong to leave you here like this But still I felt it All I had to do was sit and reminisce So I kept looking out the window Wondering where the sun goes Testing all that I know To keep my mind clear But all I thought was how I felt Couldn't think of anyone else I just couldn't help myself From wishing you were here |
