Held High I can?t let this happen I can?t let them win, So I hold my head high and look to a friend. Six days ago, I thought I was done. I looked in the mirror and saw this reflection. I realized inside I can?t let them win So I hold my head high, and thank you again. In the shadow of my dream. This life ain?t for me. We then stood eye to eye And you said to me. Hold your head high. Hold your head high Hold your head high. I?ve let it happen, they?ve won once again. I look all around, I haven?t a friend. This past morn, I felt I was done. I then felt a new warmth, like a new sun. I realized inside, I can?t let them win. I thought and I remember what you said. In the shadow of my dream. This life ain?t for me. We then stood eye to eye And you said to me. Hold your head high. Hold your head high Hold your head high. Head above the clouds. Head to the stars. Pain all around. Positive at large. Don?t let them win. Let them again. Turn to a friend. Not what they?ve said? In the shadow of my dream. This life ain?t for me. We then stood eye to eye And you said to me. Hold your head high. Hold your head high Hold your head high.

Well my friend actually read what I had on paper, and told me to type it up, and I put it in my post. About the song, and the smile for a while, I really like that line, and if sang correctly, it will work. Thanks for the feedback.

Stuff from Lack that wasn?t used. You said you cared, said you knew. This is unfair, how we are through. Did you take it, hard or the same? Pack the ice to negate this pain. Numbing it feels, these scars will heal. But you can?t feel that this pain is real. Black Heart Version 1 Social injustice separates the truth. Blind by our own minds. What have we come to? We believe it?s our right, to shatter our earths. It?s just yourself on your own shelf. A new chapter in the book of your world. C You just have to change. Who can you blame. So please shed, shed, some light on a new day. V2 Your world can?t be crumbling, please sit still. The ground is shaking and breaking. Don?t let it destroy your will. The night has fallen, it?s a darkening sky. You won?t smile for a while. But please don?t cry. C You just have to change. Who can you blame. So shed, so shed, some light on a new day. V3 This day will bring balance, a strange bell will ring. Bringing solution, a positive thing. Don?t let this consume, your every thought. Look deep inside you, I know your not lost?. C You just have to change. Who can you blame. So shed, so shed, some light on this? brand.. new.. day. Written about a friend who is in need.

The song is very good, I know it is. The fact that you feel the subject brings that raw emotion to the table. Overall it's a good job..

Chorus Oh why, why did you leave? I swear there something only you can see. Cause I need you in my life. I can now get through, with your life so true. Somehow, without... you. I changed the last line, I realized that I left the song without a conclusion. I gave it a positive conclusion, thanks to all for the feedback.

Verse 1 It?s three a.m. on a Sunday I just can?t get it by. I think about a new day. I wish she was mine. I can still hear her say. I don?t need you in my life. It?s 3 am on a Sunday. And I just can?t get it by. Chorus Oh why, why did you leave? I swear there something only you can see. Cause I need you in my life. I can?t get through, without you. Verse 3 It?s four a.m. on a Monday, A young boy loses his life. His parents cry as they say. Why did he have to die. This boy left on a calm day. As the sun was to rise. It?s four a.m. on a Monday. A young boy loses his life. Chorus Oh why, why did you leave? I swear there something only you can see. Cause I need you in my life. I can?t get through, without you. Verse 3 The water reaches this bay. On the tide that we call life. Tell me why we all wonder. Why life passes by?. Chorus Oh why, why did you leave? I swear there something only you can see. Cause I need you in my life. I can?t get through, without you.

Well, if anyone has a comment, please post... It would mean alot.

I wrote this about and for a friend... Let me know what you think. The world has turned and left me here. Verse 1 Shattered and scarred. My feelings are barred. I lost it all, this plight is deep and tall. It was like a rapid blow, I didn?t know, where to go? Where to go. Chorus This world has turned, left me here. All that I?ve got has seemed to disappear. Past or present, the future has changed. Life has turned it won?t be the same. Verse 2 She branded my heart, then tore it apart. Deep in my skin, it seeped to my heart. Etched in my soul, I?ve lost all control. It?s captured my thoughts, captured my soul?. I don?t know where. Where to go. Chorus This world has turned, left me here. All that I?ve got has seemed to disappear. Past or present, the future has changed. Life has turned it won?t be the same. Verse 3/ Bridge I was up on a perch, so ever high. Nothing fazed me, I don?t know why. Now I feel my essence is dead. Every thought is in my head. Like a wound it bleeds, cut so deep. Instead of sleep, I awake to weep. I have to learn, this must burn. Away, Away, Away, Chorus This world has turned, left me here. All that I?ve got has seemed to disappear. Past or present, the future has changed. Life has turned it won?t be the same.

Thank you, yeah me and my pops are not getting along right now... Hard to explain...

Does anyone have any feedback? It would be appreciated.

Verse 1 Since I was a little boy, I?d listen to your every word. Every gasp of every breath, was never seen never heard. Hold your pride above inside, yet I can see the hate, in your eyes. Chorus So what should I say. Should I blow up in your face. Should I say that it?s okay. Can you face this like me. This war of words, is not a game. Verse 2 I then grew up, I then moved on. I tried, to rewrite my past, that can't happen I was wrong. I've made my decisions, can?t you see. I can?t live for you, I must live for me. Chorus So what should I say. Should I blow up in your face. Should I say that it?s okay. Can you face this like me. This war of words, is not a game. Verse 3 Let?s just think. Think like one. Think that our lives Are not just what they appear to be. I know that you, you are right. At times, I was wrong, you can say that I lost sight. But don?t lose touch, or lose your faith. Lose your faith in me. Yeah, in me. Chorus So what should I say. Should I blow up in your face. Should I say that it?s okay. Can you face this like me. This war of words, is not a game. I wrote this in about 5 minutes. Just came to me, have some stuff on my mind, about family. But here it is.

I like it man, dude, I might sing one of your songs someday, if you don't mind.

Thanks, you have a point, it could confuse others. Maybe, Your figure, your form, blessed, yes indeed. That is what I changed the line to.

Not bad, although a good power chord progression is good for me.

Very good, you decribed a couples feelings very well, good stuff.

I've rewritten this song for a school project, it includes syllables as the project needed. Now Lets Decide Verse 1 I re-mem-ber, that night that we met. (10) Lost in those eyes I?ll nev-er for-get. (10) Your figure, your form, bless-ed in the least. (10) Your what I?ve want-ed, you?re just what I need. (10) Verse 2 I re-mem-ber each and ev-ery time. (9) Your litt-le thoughts would just cross my mind. (9) I would think a-bout your litt-le smile. Then I?d fade a-way for a little while . Chorus I?m left breath-less right here, wil-ling to do. (10) An-y-thing for us, an-y-thing for you. (10) I?m right here liv-ing, be-side you each day. (10) Blessed with this feel-ing, that won?t go away. (10) Verse 3 I re-mem-ber, that night that we met. (10) Lost in those eyes I?ll nev-er for-get. (10) I can?t even i-mag-ine a life with-out you. (11) A day ?to- day so empty. An end-ing so soon. (11) Chorus I?m left breath-less right here, wil-ling to do. (10) An-y-thing for us, an-y-thing for you. (10) I?m right here liv-ing, be-side you each day. (10) Blessed with this feel-ing, that won?t go away. (10) Chorus I?m just left with you, will-ing to see. (9) The future that?s set, for you and me. (9) I know that this life might pass us by. (9) But life is to love, now lets de-cide. (9) Anyhow, just to say for those who wanted to hear my songs, they are on www.purevolume.com/robertblackburn. Thanks

Last night I wrote this song, I hadno reason to do so, but it's a great song I believe. I can still hear you calling me? I can hear you but I just can?t see? Where you are. Your voice gets closer than it slips away? I?m left to vacate for one more day. In the dark. First?. First? First? It?s second to last?. Chorus First you were social then you vocal? You had the knowledge but it all just fell from there. I?m unaware of how this all broke down. Verse 2 Next thing, you fell ro the sky? I was asking, asking why? You were here? You were here? You felt you could, get to me? Opened my eyes so I could see.. I can?t fear First? First? First? It?s second to last? Chorus First you were social then you vocal? You had the knowledge but it all just fell from there. I?m unaware of how this all broke down. Bridge.. I don?t know how this all goes.. But my gut says all it knows I turned to you once before? You opened up then slammed that door. In my face.. I had no trace.. Of What it was? Chorus First you were social then you vocal? You had the knowledge but it all just fell from there. I?m unaware of how this all broke down.

Sorry if it's not been working, when I go to the Xanga site it works usually, I have no clue.

Some good stuff man... Sounds like this song is very personal to you, and usually those are the best songs.

Well I thank you guys for the comments... I like this song too... Sent in my app for the National Songwriting Competition today, and I have my fingers crossed...

I wrote this song after going to the bathroom and reading something that I found not cool.... Writing On The Wall I saw, I read, its words were charged with hate. Its message was clear. It?s just too late. The things it said have all past and gone. These words have been floating for far too long?.. Chorus This world is filled, its items are spilled. We have to pick it up?? Because we are headed, we?re bound to fall? It all stems back to the writing on the wall. Verse 2 Back when we were kids. We never really thought. How we could hurt someone until we were caught. We then were to learn the power of words. Whether they be written, spoken, or heard. Chorus This world is filled, its items are spilled. We have to pick it up?? Because we are headed, we?re bound to fall? It all stems back to the writing on the wall Bridge Isn?t it disgusting to look at it that way. Look at one another, look at their face. Peer into their value, see what they?re not. Decide who they are right from the start. It?s not really justified to look at it this way.. To think like a hypocrite in such a way?. Today.. Chorus Why, why can?t we all just get along. Let?s join together and sing along. With our combined light, we can be as bright as the sun. Just remember we?re not torn apart we are all just one. In the end, we seek, and find through the bleak. An answer, that can?t be wrong?. After we read the writing?. On the?. Wall?.

Good job Mark, I love the chorus..... I guess I should thank you You showed me to stand on my own feet I stand here today separate from your deceit I know within me there was no defeat You left me standing, battered and bruised Broken and used, I refuse to love you! Good Job

Sorry, it seems to work for me or it did... Well the only other option is that I email it to you guys, barring in mind that oyu have hotmail or another account that can accept a 3 mb file.. If you'd still like it let me know.

Well if your running a Mac it probably won't work, other than that if you hit play after selecting it, it will play, turn the volume up as well. Either that or go here.... www.geocities.com/cswf_demonic/ESTD.mp3
