marko90 Posted October 9, 2004 Report Share Posted October 9, 2004 THE LONELY ROAD As I walk down this road All I can feel is this weight grow I walk and walk, but I go nowhere When I see my destination I stumble before getting there People pass me by, They don?t even know I?m alive I only wish I could reach my destination. Now, road blocks are up on the lines It seems I?ve fallen into more lies As I follow this unfamiliar detour I cannot see I don?t know if this is where I want to be Finally, your light shines my way No I may see as if it were day I reach out to you, but my hand hits wall As this floor drops out, I fall Then the light fades, and everything becomes?black I long for you to come back to me As I cry I fall to my knees This journey inst worth following without your light As I kneel crying, face in my hands Your light comes back to me again I reach out to you, the wall falls? I now realize that my destination was never anywhere It wasn?t here nor there, it was right here! GET THE F*** AWAY! When I first met you, you were prefect I was filled with happiness Now as we grow together All I feel is like a sack of [bleep] What they say is true? Love is blind When I first met you, were inseparable Now when your around I want you to? GET THE [bleep] AWAY!! You don?t know the pain you?ve caused me, I was a sure handed quarterback Now it is self-esteem I lack So now all I want is for you to? GET THE [bleep] AWAY!! You?d say ?I love you?

THE END There was a time we were so Tight Now our time is spent to fight Is this what we?ve come to? What else can we do? [Chorus] I guess this is the end I?m no longer considered your friend All this time I was used I was oblivious to the news YOUR no longer MY friend {Verse 2} You never had my back I now see the friendship you lack I fell into you little game Now I feel that your lame You messed me all for a dame [Chorus] I guess this is the end I?m no longer considered your friend All this time I was used I was oblivious to the news YOUR no longer MY friend {Spoken Bridge} I should have seen it coming! Am I really THAT blind? I don?t believe this! One day friends? Next day Enemies! How did this happen? Now I sit here alone? Thinking? {Verse 3} I think of the times you led me astray You?d lie without a delay I think of the times you played me I can?t believe my own stupidity prevented me to see [Chorus] I guess this is the end I?m no longer considered your friend All this time I was used I was oblivious to the news YOUR no longer MY friend WHAT WERE YOU THINKING? [Verse #1] One-minute kids are having fun Next silenced by a gun All connected with the same inspiration All to get an education {Chorus} What were you thinking Were you drinking? When you put that bullet into that kids head! In one shot, that kid was dead! [Verse #2] One victim shot because he was black One kid shooting because he?s whack One victim running One kid gunning {Chorus} What were you thinking Were you drinking? When you put that bullet into that kids head! In one shot, that kid was dead! [Verse #3] few escaped with there lives everybody cries for the wives of the teacher who dies the scene was obscene everybody screams {Chorus} What were you thinking Were you drinking? When you put that bullet into that kids head! In one shot, that kid was dead! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marko90 Posted October 10, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2004 Thank you man...some dont think so...but I do what I do, if they dont like me, bite me! thats what I say to them, but I do appreciate that man, I enjoy critcism whether good or bad, I feel it helps me get better, and i've been writing for about a year anyways, peace out hombres Marko Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainMikeRS Posted October 11, 2004 Report Share Posted October 11, 2004 You are a very skilled writer, the songs you have posted here are filled with emotion and flow wonderfully. I only have 9 songs at this current moment (a 10th in the works) only because I suffered from writer's block from March 14 to July 19 when I was able to write my 6th song (I only had 3 poems in between too).

Jenny Posted October 11, 2004 Report Share Posted October 11, 2004 I liked "The Lonely Road". I can see the second one, "Broken Home" being a hard rock or punk song. Who do you use for inspiration? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marko90 Posted October 11, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2004 I have quite a few lyrical influences... Linkin Park, Good Charlotte, Evanescence, 3 Days Grace, Papa Roach, Simple Plan, Seether, 3 Doors Down, Our Lady Peace, Disturbed, Velvet Revolver (to an extent), the Tea Party, Hoobastank...and counting...its basically pends on my mood that particular day, if I'm sad i write songs like "BROKEN HOME", if I'm mad I write songs like "GET THE F*** OUT", if I'm lost or confused I write songs like "THE LONELY ROAD" I used to write love songs, but recently got out of that, dispite the fact I have a Girlfreind which I've been going out with for almost a year, she has been wondering why I've been writting like thats, and I have no answer, its just what flows, its what some people somwhere have to deal with, and if my lyrics help them thru a situation...AWESOME! Anyways hombres Peace out Marko Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danielj Posted October 11, 2004 Report Share Posted October 11, 2004 Well, i don't like your influences but I like your stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RBB Posted October 16, 2004 Report Share Posted October 16, 2004 Mark, I know your work, your influences, and you. The songs are really good, they all have a different meaning, and a different vibe and variation of lyrical content. The stuff is very good I must say. Keep on working man.
