Sample of Week 3 - Rock Lyrics Submissions

It’s so cold in here, where my heart resides
Winter winds blowin, receding the tides
To long alone, time is slipping away
Ever to painful to leave or to stay

Tears closely guarded and hidden away
Dreams of the good life, a fading cliche
Left in the wake of a love that once shone
Each holds his heart out, each one alone

Pretending, In love,
Many tears from the altar
Smiles are but memories that fade
Pretending, In love
As we stumble and falter
The remnants of love, turn a cruel masquerade.

Time has destroyed, a love once alive
Pride and resentment the cause of the slide
Love once so loyal and true, showing blue
Memories distorted and neither one knew

Trying so hard, to act out the role
Feeling so foolish and feeling so old
Neither will be the first one to say
Goodbye, our pretending is over today.

Pretending, In love,
Many tears from the altar
Smiles are but memories that fade
Pretending, In love
As we stumble and falter
The remnants of love, turn a cruel masquerade.
 

CHORUS:
All the words which we can say
All the music we can play
In the creative subway
So let begin our Odissey

We'd already tried it all
To smoke to drink but that was a fault
We have many words to say
We just need new better way

But who shows this way to us
It's a mystery but how's
With this problem

Everything we want to get 
It's nirvana so please let
Decide this problem

REPEAT CHORUS

Only dream of any man
To have a family no plan
For the future and starts to think 
Taking off the glasses with pink

Only problem of this world
No one can say the word
Though everyone had his own way
But didn't start the Odissey

REPEAT CHORUS

We destroyded all our dreams
Life is not what what it seems
So joined us no time to play
We begin our Odissey

REPEAT CHORUS TWICE
 

IT WAS MY TEARY EYED, MY TEARY EYED DREAMS
IT WAS MY TEARY EYED, MY TEARY EYED DREAMS
YOU RAN AWAY AND LEFT ME THERE
WITH A PICTURE AND A BAG OF MEMORIES
I THOUGHT YOU LOVED ME,  BUT STILL TODAY
I HAVE THOSE TEARY EYED DREAMS
WE USE TO GO OUT,  ACTING CRAZY WILD
WE USE TO SIT,  AND DRANK BEER FOR AWHILE
THEN I FELL ASLEEP
YOU LEFT ME THERE WITH MY TEARY EYED DREAMS,  MY TEARY EYED, MY TEARY EYED DREAMS 
YOU RAN AWAY AND LEFT ME THERE
WITH A PICTURE AND A BAG OF MEMORIES
I'M LAYING HERE SOAK AND WET
MY HEAD IN A STREAM
I'M DIEING HERE, IN MY TEARY EYED DREAMS
I REMEMBER WHEN
WHEN YOU SAID,  I WAS ALL YOU NEED
I WAS YOUR WESTERN MAN
AND YOU WERE MY FANTASIES
I USE TO KISS THE SKY,  AND HOLD ON TO
THE LOVE YOU HAD FOR ME
THEN YOU RAN AWAY
YOU RAN AWAY AND LEFT ME THERE WITH A PICTURE AND A BAG OF MEMORIES
NOW I'M DROWNING HERE,   IN ALL MY TEARS 
IN MY TEARY EYED,  MY TEARY EYED DREAMS
I'M DIEING HERE WITH MY BAG OF MEMORIES
YOU LEFT ME HERE WITH TEARY EYED DREAMS
MY TEARY EYED,  MY TEARY EYED DREAMS
MY TEARY EYED,  MY TEARY EYED DREAMS
WE USE TO MAKE LOVE,  AND WHEN WE DID
THE OCEAN WOULD OPEN UP
AND WHEN WE KISSED,  THE WORLD WOULD SHAKE
AND ALL SORTS OF STUFF
WHEN WE EMBRACED, OUR LOVE WOULD LIFT US HIGH
NOW YOU LEFT ME HERE WITH THESE TEARS TO CRY
A PICTURE AND A BAG OF MEMORIES
NOW I'M LAYING HERE,  WITH MY TEARY EYED  DREAMS 
I'M DIEING HERE,  WITH MY TEARY EYED DREAMS
I'M CRYING HERE,  IN MY TEARY EYED DREAMS
MY TEARY EYED,  MY TEARY EYED DREAMS
MY TEARY EYED,  MY TEARY EYED DREAMS
 

Now, Missy she won't smile
without cov'ring up her mouth
she lost her teeth to a border
dentist 'fore he fled south
in a ville with no state funds
dead and god-forsaken
she had ten cabins out back
with every one vacant
business slowed when the freeway
drove snowbirds fifty miles east
I blew in dodging checkpoints
with seven dogs apiece

you'll see vans with Son-Mex plates
truckers with overweight loads
what was a fast way to Phoenix
is now fifty miles of bad road

Missy said,
"Cabin ten's got a cooler
cabin four's got a breeze,
but cabin one's by the office
and I'll bring you a grilled cheese"
I'd put six bullets in my past
but it put one in me
when the cops came I looked at her
then gave up quietly
now after five long years
of fevers and biting vermin
this road doesn't make me desperate
it makes me determined

chorus

that moon wasn't worth chasing
it'd come apart on one side
like an old jailyard baseball
that's losing its hide
but it helped my poor headlight
for that last twenty miles
Missy saw me at her window
and forgot herself and smiled
she didn't have to burn it
but this chance won't come again
we left with easy money and
the cooler from cabin ten

nothing but broken bottles
buzzards picking at flat toads
now it's just that moon-a-rollin'
down fifty miles of bad road
 

Yours are the eyes that can see no evil
Mine is the scared stare of a troubled youth
Yours is the mouth that can tell no lies
Mine can’t find the words to speak the truth
and you are my obsession

Yours are the arms outstretched to embrace
mine reach out blindly longing to hold
Yours is a heart burning warmly with love
mine is an ember long since gone cold
and you are my obsession

Let me lay down at your feet 
bathe me in love’s flame
give this heart a chance to beat 
let me do the same

Yours is a world just out of my reach
mine is a hell into which I’ve been cast
Yours is the face of a soft-spoken angel
mine lies beneath an emotionless mask
and you are my obsession

Repeat chorus

Yours are the shoulders so soft in their strength
Mine seem to carry the weight of the earth
Yours are the legs that stand firm with conviction
Mine haven’t stopped running since the day of my birth
and you are my obsession.....
 

In my mind i thought you could be all that i wanted and more
in my mind you hold the key to free my soul and unlock this door
in my eyes you pull the strings
control my desire for your own need
in my mind i thought you could be all that i wanted and more

chorus: 
made me believe all your lies
lived through a thousand good-byes
it all began the day we met
you're the master,i'm the marionette
you're the master i'm the marionette
 

Chorus:
Hi, I’m running from a phobia
Hi, I’m running from my fears
It’s freaking me out, shaking me down
Nothing is as it appears

Whose place is this anyway?
I’ve got bubble gum stuck to my seat
The bully’s coming at three o’clock
I’m so nervous I can’t eat

Chorus

Met a drunk last evening
He really wasn’t all there
Wanted to find his carpet brush
And tried to use my hair

Chorus

Hello, good morning, how are you?
There’s a viper under my bed
There are scorpions in my beanbag
And cobwebs in my head

Chorus

Don’t know anymore if I’m here or there
Been given the run-around
So confused and so far gone
Don’t know if I’m mentally sound

Chorus
 

Welcome to the night
(welcome to a cold and lonely night)
I knew you were coming
it was just of matter of when
this is where the end begins
so many things to fear, so dark and lonely here
now the sun's gone down and you're near
All the weeping and wailing
of everyone that fell for your love
this was their destiny they get no rest or sleep
all because of a thing called love

Welcome to the night
(welcome to a dark and lonely night)
I knew there'd be someone
special from above
and you'd fool around and fall in love
he knew your game cause he played the same
we all here are so glad you came
(to see) all the weeping and wailing
of everyone that fell for your love
this is what fate sealed now you know how it feels
all because of this thing called love

The night is calling for you
cause crying eyes hides from the light
you don't have to worry we'll listen to your story
we're use to staying up all night
you walked a thin line
that separated love from hate
we're checking out at nine, you have a whole lifetime 
gotta go I'm running late

Welcome to the night
(welcome to a cold and lonely night)
you'll have company, your shadow and agony
and plenty of time to get to know misery
 

What would you do with a lyrical stranger
what would you do with a lyrical stranger
what would you do with a lyrical stranger
on her way home
fly the blue house
south of Alabama
shift your weight down on slamander
feel the burn of the lyrical stranger
as her words cut the ice
get on home to mommy baby
hello back and slap slim shady
froggy just aint gettin paid
for all his buzzed haircuts
people try tell me faded
but I know it's true
justice aint servin no meal for two
come on ride the wagon
let us be the red dragon
stop sword selling tales 
south of Alabama
on her way home
oh what would you do with a lyrical stranger
lyrical stranger got crystal eye 
in minds cloudy
so I hear
oh what would you do
 

Verse 1
You know that you did me wrong
You know that you hurt me
If you didn't mean to cause me pain
That doesn't matter anymore to me

You said you're sorry over and over again
Darling, there's only so much I can take
I don't have the time to wait 
For the changes you need to make

Bridge 1
I used to believe 
That no one could take your place
Without you I'd be so lost
Now I see that I can make it through
This time and forever, baby, I'm the boss

Chorus
I'm too strong to fall apart
It's taken too long to get you out of my mind
Loved you with all of my heart
Now I'm making a brand new start 
Over you, I'm too strong to fall apart

Verse 2
All kinds of new experiences
I'm learning to love myself
I'll be prepared to give all that I have
When I'm ready to love somebody else

Gone are the days of self consciousness
These are the new days of self respect
All your sweet talk and promises
On my life has no effect

Bridge 2
When we were together
We had nothing but battles
Now I know I've won the war
Walking out of your door without turning back
The sun is out, the storm's no more

repeat chorus
