Oh, lookity! A song!

Here's a l'il history lesson. I started writing songs when I was 10 or 11. As you might imagine, my first tries were either awfully generic or generically awful. But as time went on, I began to gain more knowledge on the topic, just by looking at other peoples' work and learning from that (Nightwish especially, their lyrics are phenomenal). So now I can consider myself halfway decent, at the least.
This'll be nothing new for anyone that already reads my other blog (like most of the stuff I'm putting on here to begin with), but this is the last one I've written, titled One of the Damned. You're right, it does sound emo. It's really not. I can show you emo. I CAN SHOW YOU, LIKE, PERFECT MISERY. But I won't.


Sorry these take up so much space, but I hate doing that thing with the slashes to separate lines./Like this./It's so annoying to read.

Standing on the horizon
Thinking of all the love you lost
Never again will I fly much higher
Still tumbling down to the cost

Watch, as you leave none behind
Look, a blessed soul to find
Erase the days of all lost hope
And look me in the eye
Watch, me fall, you like to now
Look around, they're gone
Delude yourself until you die
Which won't be very long

The shadows of the past
Are thickening in seconds
Bringing memories and dreams
And weeping soft for long ago

Illusions of tragedy
Were simply cries for help
Your cries were left unanswered
For you've yet to learn to love yourself

Watch, as you leave none behind
Look, a blessed soul to find
Erase the days of all lost hope
And look me in the eye
Watch me fall, you like to now
Look around, they're gone
Delude yourself until you die
Which won't be very long

"Tell me what it's like to be one of you.
Of strength and power, but never emotion or time.
Of possessing the capabilities of a god, but wasting it on trivial desires.
Of hoping for love but never looking further for it than backwards.
Tell me what it's like...to be one of the damned."

Delude yourself until you die
Which won't be very long...at all
