Bones - very old song

I'm very new and I know I haven't reviewed many people's work yet and I am definitely working on it, I assure you, but here is just another song I wrote awhile ago in some of my 'darker' days. I struggled immenseley with behaviorial issues due to bi-polar and such. (all good now though), so this song is about some suicidal attempts and hallucinations/dreams I had when I was off all of my medicince while in Johns Hopkins and under evaluation.

I'll define the chorus since alot of people have asked me what it's about, lol. It's simply about the dream I kept having which took place around my own funeral. Not a very traditional one to say the least. I'll let your minds wander with that one, lol.

Bones

As you try to bend my thoughts
Break my will and isolate my hopes
Broken by the lack of faith
Jaded by shattered bones

I won’t pull out the shards from my skin
I’ll watch it all as the pain pours in
I’ll take a sip from the poisoned cup
Say goodbye because I’ve had enough

As the body’s cut down
The soul ruptured and the eyes gouged out
The symphony will play
A hymn of pain

Where everything’s gone
The dreams, the hopes
There is no one
Welcome to your grave

The flames in my eyes illuminate
As my muscles tense & my mind grows numb
I can’t move I’m frozen in pain
I begin to hate what I’ve become

A demon in the night, for light I search
Blackness behind and I have learned
To hold back anger, and put forth faith
Expel the darkness to shun the hate

But it’s not as easy as it sounds
The weight of the world is crashing down
I’ve already drank from the poisoned cup
Too late to change, I’ve had enough

Chorus

As the choir in my mind searches to find
The answer behind this mystery
Why I yearn for pain and rage
Is only found through my memories

The damage caused, the story so vague
I’d help myself but it’s too late
With my last sip from this poisoned cup
I’ll tell you that I’ve had enough…

Chorus

Like it or hate it, I am open to any kind of feedback and I will continue to sift through the forum of anything I might be able to review. Thanks for taking the time to read this.

I actually think that these lyrics have helped me vent in all honesty. Music has been a great outlet throughout the years and a positive one at that. lol at the ABBA cd suggestion.

really helpful~
