The forgotten youth


Evanescent youth, come and go
Your entire dream is buried below
Do you still remember that feeling
When your heart beats more than it used to

Do you remember the time
Where you thought you are the king
Do you remember the feeling
When you didn’t give a dame about anything

That your teacher used to say
You need to behave

Chorus
Have you forgot about when you were young
Have you forgot about when thing go astray
That mountain looks bigger than it sounds
 No more excuse no turning around

Now You are mid aged man sitting behind a desk
File and paper has buried your eyes
You know where to go
But  you are going very slow

Chorous again

Oh yes you did (x4)
Haven’t you noticed by now
Nevermind you don’t have any time
But you lost something that have been erased

You know you know how to behave
But you don’t know how to be in a bright place
I can see it in your eyes
Your soul is dead inside

Oh yes it is  (x4)
Haven’t you noticed by now
You know how to behave
But you lost something that have been erased

Do you remember the time
When you are the king
Do you remember the feeling
When you lost everything
But you can pull it through
Running straight ahead is the proof
That you forgot that feeling now

I wrote this down after I was in trouble in school (only one time, 10th grade), out of my bitter resentment towards the judgement of the adults and my praises of the young generation and the youthful spirit we have,  here comes "the forgotten youth"

Traveler




Restless soul
Is free to fly
The coin is tossed
So say good bye

The fruit is gone
And your dream has died
Lesson learned
And no body crys


And The Fire is on
My heart has sung
Look at the clock
Listen to the ticking sound


Chorus
Oh just let me go
Just Let me see
The whole wide world on my feet
Just let me go
And Let me see
What the future will holds to be

Chase through the street
I looked around
Glowing lights shines upon
All the things I have done

Chorus

Don’t let it go
And don’t slow down
This world will be turned upside down ( x2)

Chorus


I want to go
I want to see
Nothing else is stopping me
Isn’t going to  stop me

I like this one quit a lot actually, it was born  in my sophomore year . This song has a bit The killer's Influence, combined with a little coldplay, and mix it up with me, and that's how it happened!.

No Name

Lies of the haunted
Haunts your sleepless night
Tears has been running
Down your flight

Picking every corners
I am searching for you
Send your signals
Oh i will come to the rescue

Chorus
Take you heart
Join Your hand
Raise the torch of star
You are still my pillar of valiant

You stumble into the truth
In front of you
Lies and confused
Oh How hard to ignore

Drown in the noises
Everything is in Haze
I cant stand here in still
I can reach you

Chorus again

Take my hope
Put it in your hand
Use it as a lamp
I will show you how much I care

To the days of quiet life
and the days of Praise
To the birth of lion inside
you are still my pillar of valiant


I wrote that last night, haven't sought of a name? Any suggestions?

Pure Life

I have ringed the bell
wonder if you heard it
Time is running out
Reach to rewind it

Chorus
Honey how could you be standing still
How could you not run towards that higher hill
Bones and guns are left behind
No time for the pure life of mine

That cold cold river
tried to follow you home
Life is for living
Living is for your own

The hot hot sun
Tried to burn you down
Love is your shelter
Shelter from the sun

Honey how could you be standing still
Run towards that elevated feel
Bones and old life are left behind
No time for the pure life of mine

You are a star that rises
Sleepless until you find that spell
Dreamless in you own line
No more pure life of mine

Choices between the old and new
Lies between the unstoppable will
Bones has turned into dust
and I will follow you

I wrote this a while ago, I was searching for inspiration, then i saw something with "Pure" written on it, ( some product, maybe OJ), and that's how this one is born.
Glory to the God Above

China Town Riot

Take what you can
The night is no longer quiet
You wanted a peaceful life
You never wanted a fight

Lose your faces
Erase the starting line
Maybe there's valiant
Last sipped of the wine

As long as you raise your arms
And Breath the Dawn
Rise is the wave of light
one heart is worth a thousand tonight

Chorus
Waiting for a china town riot
We will no longer stay Quiet
life wont stay on the horizon line
You are the brave and the light

Peaceful life comes from sacrifices
On the edge of losing sight
You found a shelter of silent names
Who or where to listen to tonight

Waiting for a China Town Riot
You throw your fist tonight
And we will no longer stay Quiet
China Town Riot for life

Listen to the voices of Dawn
That's where our hearts are lied
Riot for our loved ones
We fight for what we dream tonight



I wrote this song in a elective class...i wasn't  really paying attention nor enjoying the class... that's why i switched to art. Anyway, this song's title is actually the name of me and Adrien's band, he  thought the title was a funny one but i didn't write a funny lyrics. Oh well.

First Day of Sharing my lyrics with the world

This blog of mine is a idea that I had recently while thinking about how to share my lyrics with my friends more effectively, having a blog sounded like a good solution. A little history first, I have been writing lyrics for almost 2 years now, it started out in boredom and I thought, Why dont i write a song? Everything took off from there and never really came down. I have wrote about 80 lyrics( maybe even more), good and bad, unfortunately i do not have the time to put them all up on this blog, nor am I brave enough to put up the embarrassing ones.  For a bonus, I will tell you roughly what time or year i wrote each one, how recent they are, and the circumstance of  which they are born; usually the pattern goes like this: better lyrics =more recent lyrics. However, its not all true, i have had sparks of genius early on too. I will try to put up new songs every week, if I do not have any, i will share my past creation. Last thing I will say is that i will put up my perspective of the current events occasionally, if time allows.

May God have the glory, and to him I will seek help.
