KeRnL• Show poetry

I pretty much just write songs. In conflict with most other lyrics on the rock genre, my lyrics are ment to inspire rather than cause dismay. Through reflection of my past, i try to recreate the pain of it all. As it progresses though, it shows how things can get better, or how things should be, which is the key point to most of my writings. Although it is hard even for me to see the optimism in the end, I would rather inspire other people to see it so they can feel better rather than myself.

As i dig through it all, there are skeletons revealed that are well known by most/all, some known to a few, some known only to me, and some even i dont fully know of. Things like friends, family, relationships, and failures are a large portion of things i know well from my life. I do work on some global and moral issues too, but not much. Mainly just things like sex, money, and the like. I also like to write about love too.

Here are a few of my favorite lyrics/poems...
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Here I am different in this normal world
Why did you tease me? Made me feel absurd
Fucking stereotypes feeding their heads
I am ugly. Please just go away

I can see it's hard to find
This blessing in disguise
Why do you treat me this way?
Made the hate stay (Made the hurt stay)

I sound like I can never seem to escape
all the laughing, all the pain
If you were me, what would you do?
Nothing, probaly. You'd just throw me away"
~ KoRn, "Faget"

"I am seeing tunnel vision in a world thats dark and cold,
I cannot believe how much I've changed since the days of old,
I know, it's temporary but I need to focus straight,
I cannot believe I lost control of my fate,

I need forgiveness from the people I truely care about,
I need support behind my back to help me spit it out,
I am gonna win,
I can't afford to blow this one,

I hate myself sometimes,
I love myself,
I need this way of life because it holds me.
contradictions the way of life happiness is wealthyness is healthy,

now I've made it through those lies and deceit,
I think whats done is done and I can't complain anymore, i am sure,
now that I've found myself again it feels great,
I can't believe I'd lost control of my fate."
~ Taproot, "I"

"When I'm with you I know I'm safe
From the ground below that shakes
Will you kiss me and hold me tight
So I'll make it through the night."
~ After Midnight Project, "Through the Night"
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
"And there's no destiny when everyone's your enemy
Take your jealous heart and cast it into stone
You'll regret it all
Living behind your wall
And you'll never fall in love
If you don't risk it all"
~ Lostprophets, "Broken Hearts, Torn Up Letters and The Story of a Lonely Girl"
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
"I'm sitting on the edge of the water
Contemplating my strange life
The sun starts to fall into the ground
A breeze picks up off the waves
And everything is fine

I know that I am not alone
Everyone makes mistakes and starts to learn with time
I am content with who I am
There's nothing more I need to say
I'm happy with my life

Let go of all of your pain
Let go of all of your pain
Let go and you'll escape
You'll be happy with yourself
Let go of all of your pain"
~ Adema, "Let Go"

"I'm lonely, scared to be lonely
Thought until death meant
My fears were safe within
Now they begin to be lonely
Scared of the only thing I knew best
So I thought I knew everything
Until now, I see I'm lost and lonely

Angels swirl around me
So now I know, I'm not alone"
~ Sevendust, "Shadows in Red"
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Broken home, all alone
Broken home, all alone

I can't seem to fight these feelings
I'm caught in the middle of this
And my wounds are not healing
I'm stuck in between my parents
I wish I had someone to talk to, someone I could confide in
I just want to know the truth, I just want to know the truth
Want to know the truth ...

Broken home, all alone

I'm crying day and night now
What is wrong with me?
I cannot fight now, I feel like a weak link
Crying day and night now
What is wrong with me? I cannot fight now, I feel like a weak link

Push it back ... inside
Push it back ... inside
(A weak link)
Push it back ... inside
Push it back ... INSIDE!

Broken home, all alone

It feels bad to be alone
Crying by yourself, living in a broken home
How could I tell it so all y'all could feel it?
Depression strikes hard like my old earth would tell it
To me, her son, she told me I'm the one
Pain bottled up about to blow like a gun
Stories that I tell are non-fiction
And you can't take it back cause it's already done"
~ Papa Roach, "Broken Home"

"Stone by Stone
I constructed a cathedral
Stone by stone
built it up and wrecked it down
Stone by stone
everyone is looking to wear the crown
Stone by stone
even thought they got it all"
~ Dredg, "Stone by Stone"
