Song

[simone]

Okay, guys...I'm going out on a ledge here.  I wrote this song a few years ago for my band...it actually went on an album.  Just wondering if it means anything to anyone here...  Now don't laugh!!

Everything you've ever said
Supercedes the books I read
Prophets words that I believed
Only there if I perceived
Them with your eyes
Not my heart
It should come as no surprise
When I begin to fall apart
You're everything to me

Things that meant the most to me
Disappeared so suddenly
Yesterday while I was gone
A spirit came and cast upon
My home a spell
If you will
In the place I love to dwell
I'm choking on the bitter pill
I tried to swallow

Time of trouble turn to you
Find the things I think are true
Self-created illusions
Now I draw my own conclusions
It appears
You are able
To go for years
And keep your feelings
Hidden underneath the table

Perhaps I'll just pretend
I've always been my own best friend
That mirrors do not bother me
That I don't need a guide to see
That I can
Take flight
Nobody will know I ran
Or of the overwhelming fright
I feel

Because to me it's real

[Nic]

Very nicely put Simone!
I sure can relate to that..
The last sentence especially, the one before you say because to you it's real..that about sums it up for me..
have left my N parents who put up a horrible fight ( still going on!) but when I decided to run after all the pain..didn't matter if others minimized it or ignored it or couldn't fathom it..
FOR ME IT'S REAL!
for me it's real too Simone..and i had to run..
God bless you..i wish I could hear what music you put that to!
love Nic.

And when I ran,
I never looked back
because the love I had
was for you lack
And so i kept on going
steadily on my unknown path
to the One who would never
have held me back.

Simone, I agree with Nic I'd love to hear the music. In my head it's a very slow ballad being sung by Shirley Manson of Garbage...
Is it on the web anywhere? P

[simone]

You guys are so COOL!  That's so funny you said "Garbage" because people have said that's what it sounds like.   I've got to find a copy of it somewhere--you'll be the first to know.

Hey Simone , was that self-deprecating? I was being serious about the group Garbage, you know that? (as in Garbage.com). P
