Nothing But Trouble

Wondering how the hell we got here,
All this commotion,
All this frustration,
All these beliefs we believed
Kept us on our feet,
No where else,
But we thought we could rule and observe,
Stuck on the line,
Don't know where we woke up.

You say I got a problem,
I say you lack inteligence,
You say I'm tough to be around,
I say you're a bitch who's selfish,
This inferno around us,
The cold in your heart,
If only you made sense,
But you say I'm nothing but trouble.

Everything you touch
Seems to turn to dust,
This hell we're in,
Looks like fun anyways,
Pushing for money, you're greedy,
Quit dragging me along
To these empty dreams,
They say we're fun to watch,
Sinking to seclusion,
The rise of the tide,
But nothing strong enough
To take out the fire.

You say I'm fucked up,
I say you're born to lose,
You say I'm a problem,
I say you lack confidence,
You turn this love to hate,
In the fire, we're two dying flames,
I can say what I want,
And you're nothing but trouble.

Tonight's not the night,
As if it wasn't heated enough,
Ain't no sunshine near,
It's a shame to live with all this fear,
Dragging me to hell,
You drag me twice as much,
Keep pushing me away,
I'm feeling fine without you,
Through wars and disputes,
You always say.

You say I wasn't good enough,
I say you're fucked up anyways,
You say I won't understand,
I say you really were a problem,
Never solve, just learn to way away,
You'll never know,
And you always say,
I'm nothing but trouble.

*Catastrophic*

I have been working on this for the last 2 weeks. Like many of my lyrics/poems, the meaning is meant to be interpreted in various ways (depending on how you feel and what it means to you). However, I believe I'm pretty clear on what I was trying to create and shape throughout Catastrophic. I must admit that it probably won't be the final version - perhaps small adjustments here and there. An extra stanza is highly possible. That said, I hope you, the readers, enjoy this lyric/poem as much as I enjoyed writing it.


All that was promised seemed so great,
All that you wanted seemed in place,
Heart of gold, hearts misguided,
A mouth always smiling; pretty lips,
A life designed to carry you to heaven,
Figured your desires would last forever,
Nothing was a waste, just needed time,
You're hurting yourself and blind to the lies,
Screaming inside so no one could hear,
Putting aside all the shame,
Caught with your hands over your eyes,
Sinking again further away,
From all of your friends and those who care,
Lying to yourself that everything's fine,
Torn apart and broken inside,
No one should force you to make up your mind,
It's you who should learn from all of your mistakes,
Sitting down in a pretty place,
Disagreements and confusion with your soul,
Turning away, but you can't escape,
All the horror and this catastrophic love.

Oh, what lies inside wants out,
Oh, what's there can be gone tomorrow,
Oh, what you are or what you can be,
Slightly stung, sleepy sun.

All that was gold turned to dust,
All of your sorrows began to erupt,
Promised disguises now up in flames,
Heated discussions and cold hearts,
Faded admiration, false lust,
Striking the match, but there's no sparks,
Hanging on with the little you have left.
Breaking down and letting it all out,
It seemed that this could never be,
Part of your smile is make belief,
Hiding your grief through the brink of destruction,
So sad to cave in to that seduction,
Troubled soul is a troubled heart,
Words can only do so much,
Leaning on to what you've got,
But soon enough you won't have much,
Taste of fear; no longer nomadic,
You're hungry for something but can't find a way,
To get what you didn't want then,
You had you're chance, now broken hearts,
To find the way to that brilliant disguise,
What could have been, what should have been,
The end is near and you know it too,
Such love, your love is catastrophic.

Catastrophic!!! (x3)

Oh, what lies inside wants out,
Oh, what's there can be gone tomorrow,
Oh, what you are or what you can be.

*Like A Dream (Wake Up)*

Like a dream,
Out of the clouds
With the sun shining on her face,
Racing to see her again,
Walking tall with a smile on my face,
This is a dream,
Must be a dream,
I can't get her out of my mind,
Where am I now?

Fragments of love flying with the wind,
In the dark,
Sleeping beauty,
She's the light in these dark times,
Dance through the night,
I want to dance with her,
Like a dream
Coming down from the stars,
That halo above her head.

Jumping heart,
Monday blues,
Summer skies,
All alone is never fine,
Young and lovely,
Keeping everything inside,
Time to listen to my heart,
Is this a dream?
Maybe it's time to learn from my mistakes
And wake up, wake up,
And wake up, wake up!
