*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.
