Meant To Say

Do you remember when we were afraid?
To let our fears slip away
We always seemed to find a way
When the world cried out in fear
We slipped away in our tears
Trying hard to escape
The world as it crashed into fate
" Chorus"
Do you know what I meant to say?
Do you know how it use to be
Everything we have is made in misery
And the world cries out like a company
Buying and selling for empathy
We are lost, clouded into history
And all we know is left on the burning page
From a book we can hardly read

Do you remember the world?
And how it was, so long ago

Is there something we can do?
To make history seem new
Can we bring back the dead?
And bring back the world in our head

Can we hold out our hands?
And be given our last stand
We're falling
We're crawling
We're down on our hands
Chorus"
Do you know what I meant to say?
Do you know how it use to be
Everything we have is made in misery
And the world cries out like a company
Buying and selling for empathy
We are lost, clouded into history
And all we know is left on the burning page
From a book we can hardly read

Can you hear the voices hum
Down steel mountains they come
Holding guns of intrusion
Loaded with dissolution

Can you feel the confusion?
As we fall into illusion
Painted in our shallow minds
We are like rope set to unwind

Soon we'll be eating from the trees
Grown from the seeds of lies
Planted within our minds

Further and further we walk the line
To receive what we want
But we're to dumb to open up
Are eyes that are taped shut?
By the deception shrouded over us
"Bridge"
We can stand up
We can stand up
We can open our eyes
And see through the lies
We can rise up
We can rise up
And be more than just sheep
In a herd
We can be heard
We can be heard
We can make a difference
That makes us more than what we were

Chorus"
Do you know what I meant to say?
Do you know how it use to be
Everything we have is made in misery
And the world cries out like a company
Buying and selling for empathy
We are lost, clouded into history
And all we know is left on the burning page
From a book we can hardly read

This isn't how it has to be
We can survive the catastrophe
Join me and we'll find a way
To right the day
To make this world a better place
A place where we can escape
The pain that we can't erase
This is what I meant to say

Rhyming confusion with illusion is brilliant.What more can I say,Brilliant!

I wrote this last night it came out of no where.

Have you ever considered writing a short story or novela?You've have ideas flooding from your brain!I've haven't written a thing since I found this site!I've got to be inspired or a girl has to dump me for my poetry to blossom.I don't think watching the Real Housewives is inspiring me!!!!

Hey I changed and added some stuff to the song.

Still up reading my Replies,I see!I didn't know this song that well to notice the difference.I usually make my Comment after the first read.First impression and so on.Still like it.Any comment on short stories etc.?

I've been trying to write a book but every time i get into it i get a new idea and then another and i end up restarting a million times. I get ideas from tv, movies, books etc, and its usually random i just wait for the moment for it to pop up and then I snatch it before it slips away. Go some where peaceful where your mind can start flowing. It sounds crazy but i have written or had the idea for a lot of my songs while in the bathroom or while taking a shower its something about the simplicity of it and how it just is what it is.

No matter where you get your inspiration it's all the same.As long as you get Something out of it,who cares if it's on the toilet or in the shower or waking up from a good dream.Good song ideas are hard to come by,and you seem to be bursting with ideas.Quentin Tarantino had stacks of scripts half finished before finally completing his first one.(True Romance)After selling his first script he had the money to help finance his first directing job on his own film.See,it can be done!P.S.Outstanding rhymes,simply outstanding!
