Jill is 17 and living life perfectly fine
She gets all A's and loves her school
Volunteers at the Senior Center to stay in her spare time
In gym she laughs as over her body the boys drool

Hide your secret hide it well
Listen to the voices in your head
Is it a mistake today..... god only knows time will tell
Gotta stay thin gotta be a beauty.... this is what she has been fed

Jill lives a perfect life
All the girls envy her
The boys dream of her as their wife
And at home she cries just till the end of this school year

What's going on behind that closed door
Dearest Jill it's only a few extra pounds
But she doesn't even think about it anymore
Those voices in her head are nothing but sounds

Prom time and out on her date
Excuses herself after a salad
To the bathroom before it's too late
Looks in the mirror doesn't see she is so sad

Hide your secret hide it well
Listen to the voices in your head
Have to be the ballroom belle
Need your obsession to be fed

Graduation was mighty lonely mighty sad
Seems Jill listened to the voices in her head
She just didn't realize it's what's inside...... too bad
With therapy perhaps she'll be ok, just has to stop listening to those voices in her head

============================================================
He was born into high society
Never knew a want, never knew a care
Knew how to have fun as he became the life of the party
He had jumped onto a train that was headed nowhere

Learned to play music and joined the band
Was the joker yet deep down a serious man
Band grew in fame
As he worked harder to cover his shame

On stage and under the light
Something just snapped that night
Noone knew what started the fight
But they all knew it was a nowhere flight

Fired and disenchanted he turned deeper inside
The parties for him grew less and less fun
Met a girl and in a drunken daze took her as his bride
Joined a new band when they had their son

A regain in fame
Onstage girls screaming his name
Hotel rooms filled with empty minds and blank faces
He realized he didn't want to be in those places

Kicked his demons and started to better his life
Worked on getting to know his son and truly love his wife
Visit to the doctor changed all that
Seems mitakes came back from his past

Maybe it was a shared needle..... or one of those many nights
Went home and had to tell the wife
Led to heartache and so many fights
He fought the guilt of ruining anothers life

They say he wrote a letter before the end
But he died thinking he didn't have a friend
They found his body in the bottom of his pool
And all the note said was, "I was such a fool"

============================================================
She sits alone
thinking of the love that has gone away
she should have known
A love doesn't last when there's nothing left to say

He drives down the road again he's all alone
Thinking where it all went wrong
why he couldn't stay
But it had to end for the truth was shown
And when there's no trust there's nothing left to say

Yes, love is beautiful when ya share
And the world is so much better when there's someone there to care
Yes, Love is wonderful when the trust is there
But when the trust dies and the world won't hear your heart's cries all ya see is loneliness everywhere

They tried to live the lie of the heart
They couldn't see they just were hurting one another
They didn't realize living a lie drove them further apart
They didn't want to be alone but knew deep down they coulldn't stay
together

Living the lies of love
Trying to hold together something that isn't there
Trying so hard to keep the heart tough
But then ya realize the heart has gone sour and there's nothing left
there

=====================================================

Remember when we were innocent
The love our hearts knew
No sins to repent
And all we felt was so real and so new

Can you remember those days when we saw our favourite KINK
And the music filled our soul and touched our heart
Ray's lyrics so deep and made ya think
And Dave never missing a lick played so energetic from the very start

Will your heart open up long enough to look back
When life was so pure and free
And for love none of us ever felt a lack
And the days seemed made for you and me

But then it all seemed to fall apart just as you grasped that last ring
Greed took over and the heart lost its way
And all you could hear was the money sing
God why couldn't the innocence stay

Now on a building ledge you stand waiting to jump
Your soul so infested with wanting new toys
And you know your wife is out on another drunk
Spending her days with a bottle and one of her newest boys

That boss you loved so dearly took all the money
Left you out in the cold
He's down on an Island with some sexy honey
And you realize your spirit you sold

I beg of your dear friend
On all that we once shared
That this is the beginning not the end
For you my friend I have always cared

Find your way to the past
Pick up those pieces of your heart
And in those shatters you'll see what matters is my love for you shall always last
And dear friend remember those innocent days and perhaps you can make a new start

Don't tell me your love is dead
For even in nature the cycle of life in full of rebirth
Don't tell me there's nothing to live for cause everything's already said
Cause life would never be the same without you on my Earth

So give me your hand
Whenever you fall down into the dirt
Together we'll take that stand
And when the end does come you can say you fought and lived through all of life's little hurt

============================================================

Damn.....*snif*, don't you ever make me feel like that again.

Brilliant, I am amazed nobody has bothered to comment on this.

Thank you very much Tecoyah, your praise is truly deeply appreciated.

This is some really good heartfelt stuff. I like the way I was drawn into it. I would like to read more also

ForgottenKnight · 06-12-2004, 06:19 PM

Very deep. It pierces straight to the heart, grabs hold, and holds on until the end. Very good!

amonkie · 06-12-2004, 07:22 PM

That's definitely some intense feelings in there.... thanks for letting us in and sharing!

There's a hole in the atmosphere
And the glaciers melting down
There's people running everywhere
And chaos in the town

There's the man living next to me
He's nowhere to be found
His wife's taken to gardening
And strange smells from the ground

There's the beauty that I work with
She's very sweet it seems
But she's telling me everynight she drinks a fifth
Then goes to the park naked and screams

Has the world gone totally crazy
Have we all lost our mind
Or could it be we need something cause we've grown lazy
And now we are all one of a kind

There's the principal
Who's never done wrong
Known his wife ever since she was a gal
They found him late last night in a gay bar dressed in a sarong

The press tells us all we need
They hound and stalk for a story
And do this not for knowledge but for their own greed
And when they make a mistake do we ever hear sorry

Now we all have chosen to live within our head
For all this craziness is rotting society's very core
Me ........ I shiver covered in my bed
Wondering if I ever locked my door

ForgottenKnight · 06-21-2004, 10:31 PM

That is so true of the world. It's a crazy place now.

Very good way of portraying society!
