I've got no energy, this pain is killing me I don't know why I cry, when I say goodbye Always on the line, never breaking time, in my prime No more night and day, just at bay, watch me go away No apologies, can't you see, got no guarantees Breaking in my mind, breaking in my mind, in my mind I've got this feeling running through my head Now I'm living soon I'm wishing I was dead I've got this feeling running through my head Life is over when you're walking on a thread Now I've come to see, more are younger than me It happens every day, doesn't matter anyway Never knowing why, in my eye, that I mystify Learning is the truth, of my youth, in a ticket booth Waiting for the time, of decline, watch me fail to shine Breaking in my mind, breaking in my mind, in my mind I've got this feeling running through my head Now I'm living soon I'm wishing I was dead I've got this feeling running through my head Life is over when you're walking on a thread Like a sacred vow, I'm old and wiser now Call it what you will, I still seek the thrill Standing on the past, not as fast but my brain is vast I'm a sign of hope, not a joke like a horoscope On the day I die, in my eye, watch me say goodbye Breaking in my mind, breaking in my mind, in my mind I've got this feeling running through my head Now I'm living soon I'm wishing I was dead I've got this feeling running through my head Life is over when you're walking on a thread

All the trees call your name when the wind blows and the seas swell the same and the sun knows I know I know All the leaves soak in your rays when you're shining and I believe in your ways a sliver lining I know I know Heaven knows, the wind blows and you ramble on down the road stick around, love is found don't go leaving me again blades of grass dew drops glisten as the sun rises in the past you would listen no surprises I know I know Heaven knows, the wind blows and you ramble on down the road stick around, love is found don't go leaving me again I get so lost in you I don't know who i am I get so lost in you I cannot stand Heaven knows, the wind blows and you ramble on down the road stick around, love is found don't go leaving me again don't go leaving me again don't go leaving me again

people walking around letting me down just letting me down too many people too many people letting me down too many people say they’re the sun looking for fun just looking for fun too many people too many people looking for fun too many people trying to say it is light when deep inside they got something to hide too many people and yeah- they're all gonna let me down let me down let me down let me down couldnt see the light with your head in the sun couldnt find a straight line with ruler strapped to a gun so many people letting us down if they all built a town it would all fall down so many people and they’re all just letting us down

Too old too remember too young to fall in love Crazy ghosts get a hold of me Far away from the freedom finally had enough Once I was blind but now I see (clearly) This is not a fallen soldier Holding on to life This is bout something precious And I wanna fight Cold wind blowing out the back porch Little bit more to write Hang up the phone shut out all the lights Smell the Cigarette smokin on the chain gang But the jury's still out tonight Not a good day for a Saturday suicide Not gonna go to my dark place NO Not gonna swim in a rat race NO On a roll this is my time Making room for the light to shine Where do you wanna be I see clearly

We start You stop We rise You drop False hope Real fail All top No tail You never felt clever Not when it mattered much Drink deep from dry deserts Spread warmth from battered touch No hoping, one eye open You sleep as sound as you'd expect Beneath your silk trap door No monsters new since last you checked Wish I had a way to tell you what I thought I knew ever since they burned down Eden there's been a warrant out on you keep saying what you want about the pride before the fall but it's not your fault it's never been your fault You're just running out of last calls You don't mean that All your words fall flat You've been cut so long It's all you know to do You're the scorpion I'm the tortoise once again Sinking soundless in the Arms of no one's friend No one's friend Wish I had a way to tell you what I thought I knew ever since they burned down Eden there's been a warrant out on you keep saying what you want about the pride before the fall but it's not your fault it's never been your fault You're just running out of last calls

Put your flags in the ground Put your flags in the ground Taking the time, taking the time to work it out Wherever your heart lies There your soul is bound to stay Until your dying day Until your dying day --- Wherever your heart flies And your soul has slipped away Until your dying day Until your dying day Put your flags in the ground Put your flags in the ground Taking the time, taking the time to work it out We're all looking for good times But they seem so far away And our hearts begin to sway Yeah, our hearts begin to sway --- The off-chance of a good rhyme we wonder, should we pray Our hearts begin to sway Our hearts will run away Wherever your heart lies There your soul is bound to stay Until your dying day Until your dying day --- Wherever your heart flies And your soul has slipped away Until your dying day Until your dying day Until your dying day Until your dying day Put your flags in the ground Put your flags in the ground Taking the time, taking the time, taking the time Taking the time, taking the time, taking the time

Tempt me break me into little things that you have always wanted And if the day will break and if the seasons change I'll stay right beside you Hey Hey whats the matter with you Hey Hey I got something for you Please Why don't you stay We are such unusual lovers Honey could you bother believing Honey could you bother believing I am the stars the moon the sun The fall of everything but the head on your shoulders Listen up real close or I will send you down the wormhole Let me introduce myself again my friend I am the vision of love that you'd always hoped for but could never make out where the hell you were going Come closer Still closer I want to see your pretty face again We are such unusual lovers

Been such a long time Since I heard a word from you There’s too much hurt between us And you’ve got too much to hide It’s not for old time’s sake Or drunken curiosity There’s something more at stake it seems And now you need to get in front of me Only the winners Have the stomach for the pain Only the winners Know the truth of what remains Only the winners You’re really climbing the ladder now Left us all behind for better views Mountains of messages unreturned The innocent get burned But you’ve got no time for things that you can’t use Only the winners Have the stomach for the pain Only the winners Know the truth of what remains Only the winners Only the winners Find the pleasure in the pain Only the winners Know the truth of what remains Only the winners Only the winners

about

From KG:

"A lot of modern songs really break things up a lot. Write a song where the verses vary in their rhythm and rhyme schemes. They don't have to be entirely different but at the very least they shouldn't all follow exactly the same scheme. The choruses can be the same or different. It's up to you. Any style."
