The Whispering Damned [Metal]

noreply@blogger.com (Nick Whittemore) — Sun, 06 Jan 2013 19:01:00 +0000

screaming out loud but nobody hears

I feel like a mime - nobody sees, nobody cares

they say that I'm fine but I know that's a lie

someday you will see that you were all wrong

slashing my arms 'till they bleed and won't stop

and I'm sorry to say, heaven would seem like suicide to me

you're all that I need but lately it seems

I need more than pain to live in this way

sometimes I cry though there's no reason at heart

I just feel so alone and if somebody cares, they refuse to say

and it just seems to me that I need the pain

you say that I'm fine and I have a future that's bright

I just don't see where you're taking this from

this future they see seems to be a lie

you encourage me to stay strong in hell

I'm human like you so why can't you see that this pain is too strong

my whispers are heard for miles around

yet somehow I scream and nobody hears even a word

maybe the screams are just in my head

nobody hears - it's all in my head

I live like a mime and nobody cares if I am fine

somebody please, why does it seem nobody listens to me
screaming out loud yet nobody hears

somehow they all hear the whispers I scream

I'm trapped in a box and there's no escape

this box is my hell and it would seem that nobody cares

if anyone sees they really don't care

live life your way where everything goes right

you live a lie if you live life like that

life isn't fun - life's full of pain, misfortune, and lies
somebody help, I'm not feeling fine

I'm screaming out loud and nobody hears the things that I say

believe in me, I have heart and I have faith

believe me please, have faith, believe

believe in me, trust me please, we can make it through this

believe we can make it through this life in Hell

you can keep up the lies but I believe we're free

I'm gonna take you down tonight

believe in me, have some faith and see beyond the lies

believe for once that we can be okay

standing stronger, flying higher - so far above what's wrong

crashing low, you are below everything

believe in me for once - I am oh so capable

nobody ever said to me, "Life is just so easy, oh so easy"

take life by the throat - strangle, mangle

bring it to the ground and bury everything

believe in me, I swear to God I can

fuck off, believe - make your fucking choice

stand strong, believe, we can make it through it all

believe in me sweetie, we can make it through it all

have faith, believe, I swear to God we can

stay strong baby, believe in you and me, we can make it through it all

so stand up, let's dance, darling, sing with me

stay strong, believe, we can make it through it all

darling, believe, I swear we'll make it through

believe in you and me, we can make it through everything that's in our way

From Dusk Until Dawn [Post-Hardcore]

noreply@blogger.com (Nick Whittemore) — Sat, 08 Dec 2012 18:52:00 +0000

how do you feel when you're watching the sky

from the cold depths of your blackened Hell

the sun will not shine for you at all

when it rains, it never wants to stop

bury me, selfish sea of broken dreams and fallen man

these bones won't break, but I wish they would

you're so damn naive, believe what you hear

such a beautiful face, you'll hide all of your pain

cover your scars with the sleeves on your shirt

your thighs are exposed - thank God that they're clean

your arms are still scarred though your thighs are now clean

honey I know your smile's so fake

what do you see as you look to the stars

hide from your past and plan for the end

you can't decide why in the Hell there's reason to stay

watch as your mother is killed in front of your eyes

your family is dead now you're the only one left

paint a rose black and spread all the ashes

cover the scars, you never left them showing

a beautiful face means nothing to me

what are you like as a person inside

steadily the fog lurks in the dark and comes from the sea

engulfing you and hiding the tears from the world to see

tell me, baby, what do you see when you look up at me

Russian Roulette [Post-Hardcore]

noreply@blogger.com (Nick Whittemore) — Sat, 08 Dec 2012 18:47:00 +0000

hello honey, how are you today

as you know, I just went shopping though what for

baby trust me, understand me please

a revolver is hidden behind my back

hold it tightly and slowly walk away from you

nothing's working, it's just getting worse for me

understand me, don't come down for me

baby please listen to me speak through the tears

go to sleep and please don't wake up

until the morning calls for you

I've only got one bullet but that's all I need

load the chamber, I'll spin it twice

oh so blindly place, the gun to my head

now without looking, I'll pull the trigger

these shaking hands no longer stand so steady

pull the trigger, tears fall around my body

no shot - spin the chamber

blindly shooting but that's fine

I feel a gun to my head and that's all that I need

one shot - I'm gone

sorry, baby - I told you, just sleep

so please understand me

one shot - my bloody fingers limply lay still

blood-stained walls, repainted with brains

Criminal [Post-Hardcore]

noreply@blogger.com (Nick Whittemore) — Sat, 08 Dec 2012 18:42:00 +0000

building a shell out of your lies, not from your eyes

a secret life of your mistakes

you're a criminal and wanted everywhere

disguise yourself and forget the lies of the past

build a barrier between the truth and lies

your blood is visibly spread as you walk away

how much time can you waste and live your life this way

portray the great image of yourself on everyone

nobody knows the life that you live

everyone expects your secrets

now it's wise to run away from here again

every time you have to leave

this life is rough though it's all your fault

hide it all and run away from the truth

you don't want to live like this

I know that you hate the man you are

your family doesn't even know your name

you hide from everyone you've ever met

when do you say enough is enough

you can't live a life like this

Another Shadow [Post-Hardcore]

noreply@blogger.com (Nick Whittemore) — Sat, 08 Dec 2012 18:39:00 +0000

hush little darling, don't be so scared

don't be afraid of what you can't know

so hush your lips, your pretty, sweet cherry lips

let me kiss them and never let you go

war is prolonged but what is it for

my knife is breaking me down

a hundred thousand pieces and you'll never know

your skin is so cold, your heart no longer beats a name

my face is pale and maybe it's true - I am a ghost

nobody sees me, they all see right through me

hardly ever promised anything I could ever keep

darling please stay strong; the strongest can still break

drinking the water, you don't know it's poisoned

I take my own life but I leave you this note

now I know that I'm gone, a spirit in danger

watch over you like a guardian angel

I'll keep your heart strong, make sure you're okay

wipe tears from your eyes every day

can you see through me - do I remain clear

you are the light that keeps me strong

If I Die Tonight, I'm Bringing You With Me [Post-Hardcore]

noreply@blogger.com (Nick Whittemore) — Sat, 08 Dec 2012 18:32:00 +0000

early this morning I woke to the sound

of church bells singing a song for me

looked out my window and I saw destruction

bloody rivers flowing freely down the streets

and now that I'm all chained, I guess this is goodbye

I'm breaking the bonding - ain't ready to go

these empty streets still give me the creeps

I'm running fast but there's no way I can flee

they're out to get me and I'm staying in shadow

I'll walk to the gallows though I won't let you be

leaving a trail of poisonous gases behind in my wake of doom

watch out or where you tread may be the end of you

gasoline and fire make the perfect explosives

staying in shadow, I walk to the gallows

a path of destruction shall lie in my wake

armed with a cross and the Lord by my side

the KKK sure fucking proved the Lord backs us all

so what's there to stop me form burning you all

strike a match and inhale the poison without any clue

I'll take you all out if I'm going down

judgemental bitch taking the honors

take to the shadows, stick to the depths of the sea

lay down the trap and set you all free

the captain goes down and brings the ship to his grave

Infiltration [Alternative Rock]

noreply@blogger.com (Nick Whittemore) — Sat, 08 Dec 2012 18:19:00 +0000

every day I'm alive I'm seeing mean people

bullies are in control where I go to school

it gets in my blood, flows through my veins

I do what I can to stop all these jerks from hurting these kids

Lord knows that I've tried the best that I can

he's seen me cry, breakdown in miserable tears

because these bullies are evil indeed

everybody shout - sing along with me please

raise up your voice and let our message be heard

the louder we are, the stronger we stay

dear bullies you must know you're killing us all

you're like a poison that takes hours to set and days to kill

you little bastards think you're so cool by making us weak

now I understand if you're hurting inside

of course I don't hate you though I despise what you are

I"m here to help if that's what you need

no way in Hell will I stoop so low as to kill

I'll only help you make it through life

raise up and cheer, this is our battle cry

we will not die, we'll never give up, never give in

why should we ever let you win the war that's at hand

nobody's perfect, don't point out our flaws

we won't listen to you, you'll never win

this is our fight, we're staying strong

Potter's Adventures [Post-Hardcore]

noreply@blogger.com (Nick Whittemore) — Sat, 08 Dec 2012 18:13:00 +0000

a fight to death, our broken promises

walking through hell, not sure what to say

demented beings haunting my dreams because of you

walk into hell yeah the first thing that I see is the rebirth of Satan

a ring of fire surrounds the chamber of sacrificed blood

this place is sacred, our war is disturbing the unholy peace

step up to the throne and lay out an offer

the prince of darkness has standards you must meet

if you are holy, he'll chop off your head, you'll be His dinner

Satanic worship is all over Hell

if there is a God, He's losing the battle

our war of promise is causing His strength

fuck you I am dead but fuck if that makes you king of the world

unleash my weapon of mass destruction

nothing will be left for your filthy rule

you'll surely be dead, I send Satan for you

evil surrounds me and I'm losing my heartbeat

before the war I was fine and healthy

now I'm in Hell and the past can't be undone

holding you close to me, breaking the memories

I'll kill what's left of you inside of my head

I'm not about to go as low as you've gone

technically I've won the battle and you're ready to explode

everything that I see as I'm walking through Hell

can't be unseen and it makes me believe

we are endangered and we're on a food chain but not at the top

the reasons to end it really seem so fucking lame to me

I'll be what I want, that's better than you

Weaving A Path [Post-Hardcore]

noreply@blogger.com (Nick Whittemore) — Sat, 08 Dec 2012 18:03:00 +0000

hello there ya beautiful, gorgeous girl

I've got a present waiting here for you

you know that I still walk in shadows

all by myself, alone every night

study the moon and watch it revolve

you know every night I think you're so sexy

the only thing you could do to be twice as sexy

baby I'm yearning to see your guts spread out on the floor

the topping's your own blood, I'll have a glass of that

I've got a knife and it's covered with your blood

I swear I don't know how the hell it got to me

baby I do say you're sex when you're as dead as a ghost

trigger finger ready to make even more mess

to cut up your organs is such a beautiful thing

seeing your face dead and cold as the snow

bloody and pale - it's such a fucking sexy thing

I'll rape your corpse and bathe in your cold blood

it's soothing to me dear, you're sexy as hell

I like seeing your corpse sprawled out on the floor

I've got a boner from seeing you dead

survey your corpse now I am aware

baby I killed you, I'll kill myself too

you're fucking sexy with your guts all around

maybe I'll eat you and crown myself as king

Departure [Pop Rock]

noreply@blogger.com (Nick Whittemore) — Thu, 15 Nov 2012 18:57:00 +0000

every night I lay in bed away from you

sleepless nights alone in bed

I'm freezing cold and missing your face

I miss your touch, your warming smile

girl hear me out, you're beautiful

and my heart races when she's kissing me

even when she holds me close and says it's fine

her pure beauty is so captivating

her perfection's overwhelming

how come she can't see the things I see

if she could see the way I see

I swear to God, she'd feel invincible

she would see there is no match

no one is as good as her

I swear to God she is the best I'll ever have

she's perfection at it's best

and if I ever find someone else

I swear to God I'll see your face instead

I'll never find another one like her

our love was true and I let it go

I've gone so low, she's all that I want

she's got it all and I'm in love with her

you're the one that I want, the one that I love

she's so perfect, it's killing me

Disco With The Devil [Pop Rock]

noreply@blogger.com (Nick Whittemore) — Thu, 15 Nov 2012 18:52:00 +0000

I've tried so hard through all my life

it's time for me to turn around

I'll take a stand and be myself

I'll live my life, I'm in control again

through all the years I've been around

I was not the one to live my life alone

everyone controlled my life for me

so cleanse it all and take control of everything

secret lies and happy lives

I was never one to live in secrecy

even when the better thing to do was to say a lie

I always told the truth instead of living lies

through all my life I tried so hard

to do things right through everything

and every day I'm trying much harder

to get away from here, get to where I need to be

destruction of the soul is life with no death

but I don't want to live that long

and everybody says that I should be this way

but I have this to say to you and all your lies

I won't be the way you think I should

I am my own man, I won't live like this

I'm done with your control

I try so hard and now I'm done

Funeral [Post-Hardcore]

noreply@blogger.com (Nick Whittemore) — Thu, 15 Nov 2012 18:47:00 +0000

lay your head down, time to rest

a hearse is waiting beside your door

take a final breath of air

feel the weightlessness of flight

resting time has come for you

Heaven calls for you my dear

your life was cut way too short

you're suffering so let it end

close your eyes and wait for death

the time for rest has come for you

at least you'll have a peaceful death

lay to rest, you're in your bed

Heaven sends an angel down to guide you home

listen here, so close my dear

I love you so much more than life

you know I want the best for you

you're my life, my only love

would I say for you to go if it wasn't for the best

my last words will give you joy

the last you'll ever hear in life

"I love you so much more than life"

goodbye my dear, my sweetest love

lay your head to rest my love

I'll see you in another life

The Army of Fallen [Post-Hardcore]

noreply@blogger.com (Nick Whittemore) — Thu, 15 Nov 2012 18:44:00 +0000

white light, misguidance

a razor cuts deeper into your skin

the wounded are scarred

unhealed, not cared for until you're dead

the bullies are heartless

we're wounded, we're soldiers

won't give up 'till the light dies

we've been there, yeah we know

shine light, misguide us so blindly

we carry the wounded, the dying

fight stronger, our numbers are growing

we're dying with treason

a world in black and white unfolds in delight

my word has been given, you're safer forever

the reason's not needed when treason's misleading

the army of broken still will protect you

you've joined us now, you won't be left behind

our army is caring and showing of love

the blackness is fading

the light still misguides you

with bleeding red spines we stand up for you

my heart is not a lie

don't trust me, then watch my brain

my heart is guidance protecting you

King of Earth [Metal]

noreply@blogger.com (Nick Whittemore) — Thu, 15 Nov 2012 18:34:00 +0000

you can run with the stars

travel in style everywhere you go

the city knows what's up when you come around

the world's your treasure, you are the devil

you can travel the world flying in style

the cops won't chase you 'cause they know you're trouble

kill everyone, nobody cares what you did

now when you go home, your family's in tears

see what you did with all of your power

open your eyes man, this has to stop

can you live with yourself knowing what you have done

your mind is lost from all the abuse

if you've got it made, you'd better protect

every man has a bounty for the price of your head

man can you stop the pain you keep causing

making us suffer because you got bored

you ain't a gangster, you're worth nothing to me

soon you will find out the damage you've done

you ruled the world and we're bringing you down now

you're too much trouble, it's more than it's worth

Years Of My Life [Rock]

noreply@blogger.com (Nick Whittemore) — Thu, 15 Nov 2012 18:28:00 +0000

I look back at the years of my life

and I wonder what happened to it

years of my life - they're passing me by

where did it go, all of those years

I once was a boy and now I'm a man

where'd my life go, how much time do I have left

the time I've wasted was gone from the start

soon enough I'll find that I'm dead

I keep aging and it's going too fast

not quite ready for my chances

years of my life - they keep flying away from me

these years of my life are going too fast

seems yesterday I was just ten

was it my sub-conscious mind or was I wide awake

don't remember how I spent my time alive yet dead

years of my life, once were so slow, missing my life

these years of my life are speeding right by

where'd my time go and how old am I

how much time has been wasted

who could I be, where can I go to slow my life down

recent years have gone much faster than ever before

these years of my life have gone to waste

where has it gone, what did I do

they say life's perfect, well not for me, I'm trapped in the past

Brains For Actors [Pop Rock]

noreply@blogger.com (Nick Whittemore) — Sat, 20 Oct 2012 19:06:00 +0000

baby listen to me please I have something to say

I wasn't thinking clearly, haven't been so sure for so long

life keeps rushing by my face

flying through time and space too fast for me to stay on course

I'm crashing down into the land, hit a mountain, now I'm down

the sky is dangerous, don't stay so high for too long

you'll be like me and just do things

no thought involved, you just do it 'cause you think you can

that's what's been going on for me

wish it'd change 'cause it's killing me
I don't want to be a piece of shit but it seems I am anyway

I can't change the way I am, I'm too far into this trap

I'm not thinking all this through anymore than I should

maybe less than I'd like to say I'm thinking through

I swear it's not intentional but it happens to be this way

wish it'd stop and I could change

somehow I think there's little hope to fix it all

take me back to the day when you were there on your own in need of help

I'm sure I'd help you once again but wouldn't leave you anymore

take us back to the time when I said I'm leaving you

I'll change that day to be the way it ought to be

so many things that I would change if I could just go back in time

everyone would be happy with their lives the way that they should be

I wouldn't ruin another life if I could stop myself from this

I would stop myself from falling for this one and all the others that I've met

you're the one for me forever and I'll stop myself from this

why should I change for you if you hate the way I am

I hate myself, you know it's true because of you and me, it's life

Rain Storm [Rock]

noreply@blogger.com (Nick Whittemore) — Sat, 20 Oct 2012 18:54:00 +0000

try and wash away your tracks in the rain

guilt is closing in, you know you're so wrong

what's left behind, not washed away

you left behind enough to get caught

the rain won't wash away all of your tracks

if you want to be free, then burn all that's left

the rain can not take all of the pain

the tracks are so thin, but you're still around

now guilt closes in, you know you've done wrong

keep coming back, see if you're found

your tracks are so thin, hidden within

watching your back, you cover the end with the rain

tears wash away all that's behind

I've got you near, discovered you're here

burning the pain, watching the rain

going insane, you wait for the pain

are you sorry for what's done

you use the rain to hide what's behind

well the rain can't hide all of your past

your mistakes are undone, but the fact is still there

watching the rain, crying in vain

guilt closes in and you know you're undone

you're so afraid of what you can do

so wash away all of the pain

The Truthful Lies [Pop Punk]

noreply@blogger.com (Nick Whittemore) — Sat, 20 Oct 2012 18:35:00 +0000

every day I'm asked the same things from those who know of our past

what went wrong when we lasted for so long

and I can't even say a thing 'cause I'm ashamed of who I am

I don't want to be this way but it's life, that's who I am

now I don't want to be this way, I'm ashamed of who I am

what's become of myself

and why would I lie at all, no one trusts the liar's truth

I'm ashamed of who I am but it's life it's who I am

every day they say the things I don't want to hear from them

I can't say a thing to them 'cause I'm ashamed of who I am

if I say anything, it won't help a thing at all

and when I tell the truth to you, you don't think it's really true

'cause I've lied so much before, couldn't stop it anytime

and no one trusts the lies I say even if the truth is heard

and I can't say the things I've done

'cause I don't want to be this way, who I am isn't right

I don't want to be this way, it's who I am, I want to change

anything I say is classified as lies and nothing else

someone save me and help me out 'cause I don't want to be this way

the way I am is killing me

tried to run and hide from it,

that made it worse, it didn't help a bit

all the times they ask me what went wrong with us

I can't say a thing to them 'cause if I do I'll cry in shame

I hate the thing that I've become, so ashamed of who I am

all these things I've said and done are killing me inside the heart

I warn you now to stay away 'cause I don't want to hurt you too

I'm ashamed of who I am, I don't want to be this way

California Lies [Metal]

break down your walls of security

deserve no better than a rotting hell

maybe I mean it, maybe I don't

holding you down now you're on the floor

breaking my walls down

I'm on my way to a bitter place

I once heard a man, well he said just one thing

all I heard himn say is how he loves his life

my mind won't let me be

content with who I am

take me down to Hell

you'll see that I don't care

Hell is where I live

I want to bring you down with me

wish I wasn't me

my life's too full of pain

I'm glad it may be me instead of someone else

deserving of this pain

I'll bring you down with me

fall into my grave, stay above the sea

The Endless Fall [Alternative Rock]

noreply@blogger.com (Nick Whittemore) — Fri, 19 Oct 2012 20:17:00 +0000

close your eyes and feel the fall

lean on back, you're on the edge

take the fall and have the end

you're at peace so now's the time

in the end you find it all

all the things you kept inside

you should have said, I could have helped

could have saved you from the fall

lean right back all the way

falling now you wish you'd stayed

could have had some help through this

take the fall and save regret

here's your chance to save yourself

talk to me in rewound time

life is worth more than this

don't throw away all you have

shed some light on the darkest sighs

every breath could be your last

I'm all ears so speak to me

close your eyes and take the fall

Devil's Water [Alternative Rock]

noreply@blogger.com (Nick Whittemore) — Fri, 19 Oct 2012 20:14:00 +0000

the ocean's never your friend

it kills all your life

everyone you know has died

here comes the monsoon, run away

tsunami follows, can you escape

the sun is fading along with your dreams

somday you'll find a way to say

your life's just an endless Hell

angels don't watch for you at all

demons lead the path you're on

waves crash and bring you down to Hell

kill yourself, the rain will wash away your tears

cutting life into dead pieces

bring yourself down to lower things

take a breath and feel the salt inside your veins

stinging pain you can't escape

can you find the end or is it near your time

the ocean calls for you

lightning crashes down around you

can you find a way to leave this all behind

here's the light, it's leaving far behind

wait in the ocean and have the world end

salty veins and deadly tears everywhere

say goodbye now you're leaving me

Ring of Blood [Pop Rock]

noreply@blogger.com (Nick Whittemore) — Fri, 19 Oct 2012 20:07:00 +0000

your smile's heaven, blend that with Eden

sorry but mankind is sacred

we can't make love yet for it is sacred

to make love is special, something for two

you know how much I love you

someday I'll lay my heart down on the line

I give you my only heart, dear

tell me something lovely face

what do you think of mistakes

do you think it's true or a myth

and what's your view on true love

I believe in both of those I say it proud

you are my one, my only love

here's a ring to show my love

it's package says to handle with care

is it maybe more than just a ring

it's my heart inside the ring

keep it real and wear it true

if you ever forget our love

please take my heart and tear it up

Childhood Friendship [Post-Hardcore]

noreply@blogger.com (Nick Whittemore) — Fri, 19 Oct 2012 20:02:00 +0000

we grew up together, shared so many dreams

lived where there's no hope

so many times we said we'd grow up great

yet in the end I saw you walk away

spent a hundred years wasting life away

the sad part is my only hope

left me years ago to find somebody else

I never even thought that you would leave me behind

you were who I trusted when everything went wrong

two thousand years went by

and when I say you next you were a different man

someone I can't trust the way I could before

you were just a cheat, nothing but a lie

when my life was fading

you turned the other way, chose to walk away

never said a thing or even look at me

Burning Car [Pop Rock / Acoustic]

last night I heard the worst thing

the cops had called and said what's wrong

you're nearly gone and I should come

in a bed, you're nearly dead

in a coma, may never see

the perfect face of yours again

I can't bear to see your pain

the doctor said that you can hear the things I say

they say that you may never see

the light of day again

if you can hear everything

let me say just one thing, "I love you dear"

"you are my life, my everything"

baby please don't leave me here

on my own, there's nothing left for me

midnight comes and you're not doing well

now it's Sunday, the day of God

pray to God that you're okay

as time goes by, you near your death

now you're gone and I'm in tears

baby please come back to me

they say you hear what I say

baby please come back to me

my world now has gone away

all the things we never did

you know I loved you more than anything

now that's gone, there's nothing left

fell in love but now you're gone
