First Aid for My Heart
Cast and splint the broken hearts
With bandages of forgiveness
Did you think I really wanted
This pain I can't forget?
These tiny pills, they smile at me
And show an escape in their hard shell
I ignore the calls of razorblades
Their lies I know so well
I shocked myself alive today
Fresh air ne'er tasted so good
And you were there when I awoke
Just like I knew you would
Before I leave this world again
I have to tell you my story
About a boy who loves a girl
Please don't let me alone tonight
These shadows, they can kill
I can't stop thinking of you
And it makes me ill
Please don't forget me, love
Your words cut me to the core
I will swear to you again tonight
I swear I love you more
Preamble to my Downfall
I, the person of which whom you hate
Hath finally fallen to society's ills
I wish I had the will to survive
I need to be by your side
I'd be there with you tonight
Liberty is a moral I deny
In exchange for the love I so deserve
Posterity can burn in hell
Desire provides compensation
Were it that I deny my person
The one not hidden by facades
Would you love me more?
Burn the topless towers, Helen
Illium with burn for us tonight
We'll dance by the light
Of the fires so bright
And drink wine of the bouquet
Embrace me again, love
We'll spend eternity together
The torch has been passed
We'll stay hidden forever
And on the day we die
The gates of heaven will open wide before us
Date Rape for Dummies
A collect call from you conscience
Will you accept the charges?
Lose myself in her eyes
And my will is done protesting this union
A Blue Hawaiian for my lady friend
Hides the blue ink from my victim's eyes
I'm so lonely
Is this how low I've sunk?
Replay the night over again
As steel bracelets steal my circulation
Moans of protest gave way to unconsciousness
My soul is forever tarnished
A chartreuse haze has settled upon my mind
And nausea claims me forever
Cold bars of steel are replaced by a bar stool
Obsession with a perverse nature forsaken
Alcohol has taken my pain away
And put the proverbial monkey back on my back
But she brought me another
When she strolled into the pub tonight
Old habits die hard, they say
This is no exception
She sits next to me, and shames pearls with her smile
This alleyway is secluded enough
Lose the skirt, sweet heart
The night is young, and so am I
Ok, just a little explanation for how these songs came to be. They're not InuYasha songs, nor are they based on InuYasha. I put them in this category because I figured it would be easier for my fans to find. Song-writing has been a passion of mine for a long time, so I figured that while I was on hiatus, I'd share my work with you to give you something to chew on during the wait. Ok, onto the summary. First Aid for my heart was written in my JROTC class when we were learning first aid, and I just got this idea about being able to physically bandage a broken heart, and I just started writing and pulled that one out. Preamble to my Downfall was written when I was reading the Preamble of the Declaration of Independence. I started rewriting the Preamble to my emotions, and that song just kind of came out. Nothing really inspired the song, just the title. Date Rap for Dummies is a story about a guy who uses date rape to slake his lust (the blue ink is something that is being added to date rape pills, so if someone puts on in a drink, it'll turn blue) and gets caught. But, as soon as he gets out and tries to hide behind his booze, he meets a girl, and his old habits return. None of them had a real inspiration; I just kind of decided to write them. OK, well, gotta go, but I hope you liked these songs. Ja matane!
