Hey all. As most of you know I'm in the AFI fan club called The Despair FAction. Well, for a Christmas present for the guys (afi) some of the people are sending in stuff (poems, letters, drawings, etc...) to be put in a book to give to them. I really want to contribute. I'm not much of a drawer and I'm afraid a letter would sound too "omg I love you!" type deal. I really want them to know how much of an inspiration they've been to me musically. Before I knew of AFi I wasn't sure about my music at all. I was constantly judging my songs (probably more than any other critic would do). I never would let anybody read them b/c I was afraid of what they would say. AFi (especially DAvey-lead singer) showed me that it doesn't matter what other people think. Do it for yourself. So that's exactly what I've been doing. Even though I still don't believe I'm ready for a band or anything like that I want them to actually see the inspiration and thankfulness. So I wrote another song. Really has nothing to do w/ them personally but I feel like it's my best one yet. I want to send that to them (in that book) but I'm afraid it will seem stupid. So below I've posted the song. Please read it and tell me if you think that it's a good idea to send this or not. Of course I will include a letter with it explaining why I'm putting the song in there. Please only give me HONEST opinions. This may not seem like a big deal to most of you but to me.....It's huge. Just to know that they will actually hold this and read it gives me a naseaus feeling.
Pretend It Away
First Verse:
Another morning
the sun hurts my eyes.
I think I'll stay
'till the next sunrise.
Depression sinks me
lower each day,
And I can't get away.
Right and left
the walls caving in.
I don't know how
much more I can stand.
My dreams are gold
and you're standing with me.
But I wake up,
and you escape from the scene.
Chorus:
Just take me away
from this pain.
Lend me your hand
to stop my shaking.
It's worst on my own
so until you,
Can come rescue me
I'll just close my eyes,
And pretend it away.
Second Verse:
Why did you go
So far from my side?
I need you now
like the stars need the sky.
I don't know how
much more I can take.
Just say my name.
Life cornered me
with it's own teaming force.
I'm out numbered
by my own demon's curse.
I just can't do it
alone anymore.
I need your wings,
So I don't have to make this choice.
Chorus
Bridge:
Don't ask.
Don't hesitate.
You're my savior
I'll be your saint.
Just slide me through
This portal to you.
Just hold me now,
and tell me it's okay.....
Chorus (twice)
(Last line:repeat three times--hold end note)
