V1. You try not to look around
You try not to remember
How on Earth you got here
‘Cause the memories, they still sear
Close your eyes but the visions burn
Away from everything you try to turn
But the current is too strong and swift
You are too weak and you start to drift
CH. And now you run away ...
And now you run away ...
And now you run away
And you are deaf to our pleas for you to stay
We love you so much more than you know
What makes you so keen to go?
We watch you run away ...
And don’t know what to say
V2. You’re too far out and all alone
Made your heart walls of stone
Nothing should hurt you anymore
But why do you still feel sore?
Escape the pain equals lose yourself
But there’s a greater need to find yourself
Too many problems but no solutions
This conflict is one great contusion
CH. And now you run away ...
And now you run away ...
And now you run away
And you are deaf to our pleas for you to stay
We love you so much more than you know
What makes you so keen to go?
We watch you run away ...
And don’t know what to say
BR. Yes, you’re under attack
Yes, you’re copping mass flak
But if you would just come back!
...
I’m sure there’s something we could do
Something we could do to save you
If you would just come back
We can help save you
CH. And now you run away ...
And now you run away ...
And now you run away
And you are deaf to our pleas for you to stay
We love you so much more than you know
What makes you so keen to go?
We watch you run away ...
And don’t know what to say
Thanks to everyone for their words ... =]]]]]]
There are some really good ideas for stories racing through my head at the moment. I just need to be able to get them onto paper:
- Two friends who email or letter each other ... I've read stories like that and they're really good. I just need to trick out some plot details ... and a bit of character stuff ...
- A magic school one (it's nothing like Harry Potter btw, more like the Charlie Bone books actually ... ) - I've a lot of the details for that already XD Just need to get writing
- Plus more half-formed ideas and the ones which come and go ...
Also, one of my friends mentioned a comic about the group, and I thought that was a good idea. So now I can't wait for the holidays cos I've suddenly realised how many ideas and projects I could actually do ...
If anyone has any more ideas for me, they're all welcome!
Til next time (which will HOPEFULLY be a lot sooner than it was ... XD ... sorry 'bout that again!)
I created this in Microsoft Powerpoint.YES! You did see that correctly.
Microsoft Powerpoint.
Because I have no camera or any drawing / art software apart from Paint (which is a pretty horrid thing, is you ask me, but it can be used) ... I have to resort to things like this.
Here's how I created it:
With an idea in mind, I got a picture from Google Images.
Then I put two more pictures on it. They were (sized down considerably):
I cropped the latter one.Then I put them where I wanted on the main image (the one of a giant library). Sepia toned it ... or maybe it was black and white? Either. Can't remember.
I then typed over the pictures in white Courier New, and "saved as picture"
Just so you know, I have no idea what the white strip along the side is. I should probably crop it out ...
There you have it.
So ... any comments on it?
I Need You
You don’t smile often
But it’s always a perfect moment
So perfect it’ll soften
The deepest darkest torment
You don’t laugh so much
But it makes the blackest night bright
I’ll use the memory as a crutch
Supporting me through this fight
I need to see you
I need to see your light
I need you to
Make my sky bright
I need you so
Or I can’t bear this
You’re so kind I know
You’ll be willing to share this
Since I first saw you
You’ve hardly ever cried
But every time you do
I’m in agony inside
When I last saw you
You were well past crying
I don’t know what to do
We’re both alone and dying
I need to see you
Smile and laugh again
I need you to
Dispel the rain
Somehow all my fault
Somehow I made you cry
I need the crying to halt
Please, I don’t want to die
I wrote this at the end of October, early November, I think. And I was damn proud of it. So, what do yas think? Ought I have been proud of it or not? Is there anything I could do to improve it?
(BTW, the art / writig doesn't start yet, this is just to get some post ON here ... =] )
