I wrote a few songs since I got here... one before the whole Andrew thing, one after, wanted to share.
Don´t Underestimate Me and Saddest Song.
The first inspired by my inability to communicate in spanish, the second by various journal entries...
DON´T UNDERESTIMATE ME
(starts soft)
If you only knew
How you underestimate me
I can weave words that will
Hit you like a train
I can play a game with a pen that will
Blast a missile through your brain
I can break you, make you
or take you for a ride
If you only knew
How you underestimate me..
(much louder)
I can blast you through a window
I can fling you into outer space
I can rip out your insides
And piss all over your hate
I can drown you in darkness
I can bring your wrist to your knife
I can talk you out of sadness
Or write you into
Write you into
Write you into your worst-
(soft)
hell...
Don´t underestimate me
Don´t underestimate me and my pen...
Cause I can fly you through the heavens
Or drag you through the dirt
Cause I can kill you with a sentence
Or heal you with a phrase
Which do you prefer today?
Cause I can deliver on demand...
Don´t underestimate me
Don´t underestimate me and my pen...
Cause I´ll kill you, I´ll heal you
I´ll take for all you´ve got
Don´t underestimate me
Don´t underestimate me and my pen...
SADDEST SONG
(always soft, and low)
(Chorus A) This is the saddest song
This is the saddest song
I´ll ever sing
(Chorus B) Dreams must be broken
All good things must die
Loneliness is your only friend
Who will stick around...
Oh God
Oh God
Oh God the loneliness is waiting outside my bedroom door....
If you´re quiet, he might not
Hear you
(Chorus B)
Save Me
Save Me
Save me from all of the pain that´s coming my way...
But no one can stop a
Flood
(Chorus B)
I can´t
I can´t
I can´t see straight or breathe or rip this out of me...
But maybe tears will clear my
Vision
(Chorus A)
What if
What if
What if I can´t stop my heart or start it over again...
What if you would change your
Mind
(Chorus B)
I thought
I thought
I thought you couldn´t give me up, not in the end...
I thought a lot of things, I was
Wrong
(Chorus A, B, A)
