Here's one for you. Tell me what you guys think.

Don't Bring Me Down
Copyright 2000
By Tom Dougherty

I walk this way because I can
I think these thoughts because that's me
I realize that time has told you
All of the things that I have done
I do not care about you at all
I only ask for one thing from you
Leave me alone with my own self

Don't bring me down I'm broken
Don't tell me lies to keep me silent
I know just how the world is
I say goodbye as I have learned
And I know you won't return
Because I've kept myself this way
And now I wish you'd go away

I have seen things that terrify me
And I know that they are real
Because of pain inside of me
I hate to think of myself
As anything besides a mystery
And I know that I'm unreal
I have no past I have no present

Don't bring me down I'm broken
Don't tell me lies to keep me silent
I know just how the world is
I say goodbye as I have learned
And I know you won't return
Because I've kept myself this way
And now I wish you'd go away

I feel a change in disposition
Towards me when I see you
You found the hate that burns in you
And you turned it 'round on me
So I destroy us and we're gone
The pain of mystery is astounding
And I know that it is real

Don't bring me down I'm broken
Don't tell me lies to keep me silent
I know just how the world is
I say goodbye as I have learned
And I know you won't return
Because I've kept myself this way
And now I wish you'd go away

Don't bring me down
I can't take this sh*t anymore
And I see the pain within you
It's the same that is in of me
I feel twisted inside out
And I see that you are too

Don't bring me down I'm broken
Don't tell me lies to keep me silent
I learned too well all that is true
We say goodbye, but never learn
And now we will not return
Because I've left us all this way
And now at last we've gone away

oh, wow! those are great! Are you a proffesional or do you write for fun?

very nice

Misery loves company, does this reflect you, or just a glimpse of what it's sometimes like?

:uh?:I just write my lyrics for the hell of it. I hope to someday be in a band, and put them to good use. But for now, they just spill out of my head onto paper, and that's about it. Thanks for the compliment though. (It's not that great... :))

I think it is, Sef. Keep writing, it helps with stress and alot of things like that. ;) Vampy writes too.

This is a pretty good example of me, although, it does depend on my mood. If you guys want, I'll post some more of them, and you can see what I mean... heh :eye: But anyway, thanks for even bothering to read and comment on my song there. I'm glad you guys like.

Sorry, just kidding :)

I would love if you would write more! nothing better to do (J/K) :D

Can I add you to my buddy list, Sef? I need help writing lyrics so maybe you can Pm me with advice or something?

But I don't know how helpful I'd be.... I just write what I feel, and try to keep some rythm to it. And then I go back and fix what I wrote later, and sometimes I completely scrap a piece of work. But add me and send me a message sometime. :eye:

Yeah, I'll do that Sef, Thanx:D
