so i never post lyrics cause i may only write once a year. and i have no idea how to write a "song" cause im not a singer. but i wrote something today. someone asked me how i was feeling and this kinds of desribes it. i got inspired while listening to the end of crawl as you will see. i dont claim to be good at this. any feedback is welcome.



"Everything"


Everything falls apart
Everything ends
Everything in my heart
Feels like it is dead
Everything I work for
Just doesn't seem to last
No matter how hard I work
I can't erase my past
I've tried so hard to forgive you
But the resentments just dont fade
I can't seem to forget
The mistakes that you have made

Everything falls apart
And everything ends
So much effort to stay clean
But the demon wasn't dead
Six and a half long years
Meant nothing and went away
I've shed so many tears
That fucking demon's here to stay
I've tried so hard to forgive myself
But the resentment just won't fade
I can't seem to make up for
The mistakes that I have made

Everything falls apart
And everything ends
What was once so full of life
Unfortunately now is dead
We tried to make it something
But just couldn't pull through
Add that to my list of failures
It's running out of room
We tried so hard to forgive eachother
The resentment wouldn't fade
We just can't seem to make up for
The mistakes that we have made

(Now everything fell apart
And it's all over now
I'll start from the beginning
And try to make it somehow
I find strength in my daughter
The strength to move on
Keep my head above water
Before everything is gone
Now I'm off on this journey
To find peace and serenity
All I ask is each and everyone
Carry a piece of me.)



I wasnt sure if I shoudl leave the last part or not. Remember there is no chorus or anything. just something i wrote.

Wow...you posting lyrics was an unexpected surprise. But damn...this was amazing. I could feel all your pain as I was reading this. Very powerful and emotional. But even besides that, you clearly are a very talented writer.

I know we've had a minor spat in the past and we're not exactly friends, but I sincerely liked this and I wish you the best in your situation, and I think it'd be great if you ever posted some more of your work.

Everything that Brian said.


This is great, and you're great Eric!

thanks brian, sounds good.

thanks E.

Hahahahaha! Arses!

Holy Shit Eric, I love it!

i dont get to play around on here as much as i would like so i didnt see this until now. Lefty you put some emotion in that it was easy to see, anyone whos ever gone through painful situations can relate. i have notebooks full of shit that ive never put to music, writing helps me because im not one to be very talkitive about anything, i always let shit build up, and it effects those around me,partially due to being bipolar and partially finding it hard to trust people. i fought my share of demons and it got the best of me, not until the day i woke up in the hospital with people crying around me hooked to tubes and machines because i stopped breathing and flatlined twice did i relize i got another chance to do something with my life and i decided i would make the best of the life i have. i always get letters and emails from people saying my songs have helped them through ruff times, and how they relate to the lyrics, i never understood why, but its a good feeling, just know that your words hit home and your not alone! i dunno why i decided to write you a fuckin book on here lol but hey i had to write it!
