Description Dead Weight

Fight
Or runaway
Live to see another day

I want you to
Go away
No more useless delays

You're holding me back
You're holding me back
You're holding me back
You're holding me back


Sick
Of carrying you
What's left to go through?

Run
From me
Open your eyes and see

You're holding me back
You're holding me back
You're holding me back
You're holding me back


Leave your fate behind you
Step through the door this time
Break your maker's design
Time for you to choose

Decide for yourself
Decide for yourself
Decide for yourself
Decide for yourself


Break
Through these chains
My life is just a game

I
Can't carry you anymore
It's your life behind the door

You're holding me back
You're holding me back
You're holding me back
You're holding me back


Enough
Fighting within
Why should I ever give in?

Faith
Be gone
Why did you endure so long?

You're holding me back
You're holding me back
You're holding me back
You're holding me back


Leave your fate behind you
Step through the door this time
Break your maker's design
Time for you to choose

A mountain of faith
That's gone to waste
Destroy your maker's design
What do you have to lose?

Tick tock of the doomsday clock
Beckons us all back into the flock
Do as you're told: Mindless
Stay with the herd: Spineless

Decay from the inside out
Hide behind your shield in a joust
Freedom beyond your reach
Courage you just can’t teach
Continuing without interference
In your sublime ignorance


Condemned in your obedience
Hated by your soul
A conflict internal
Welcome to the fold

Have you ever wondered?
What it’s like
With perfect insight


Have you ever thought?
That you just might
Win the fight


Have you ever had the chance to have a choice?

Leave your fate behind you
Step through the door this time
Break your maker's design
Time for you to choose

A mountain of faith
That's gone to waste
Destroy your maker's design
What do you have to lose?

I really enjoy the random bolded words. Good job.

Those are meant to be screamed as opposed to sang.

Aside from a lil bit repitious on some lines, I really enjoyed it, especially near the end.

Hmm, you're really into songs these days. And you're getting pretty good at them too.

You know, I looked at that line, "Have you ever had the chance to have a choice?" and I couldn't help but find that appropriate. I'm in a situation now - right now, right this minute - where I have a chance to make a choice. There's an opportunity I can take or not take. And as much as I want to live with no regrets and carpe diem and all of that...I'm not going to take it. And that's a sort of a choice, isn't it?

FBW In reply to thexsharpestxlife [2007-11-29 18:35:59 +0000 UTC]

Yes, it is. What's this situation of yours? If you're willing to talk about, that is.

πŸ‘: 0 ⏩: 1

thexsharpestxlife In reply to FBW [2007-11-30 01:21:30 +0000 UTC]

Well, the opportunity passed and I didn't take it. I was downstairs in a shared apartment with a friend doing some work, and I was tired. My option was whether to go upstairs and knock on this guy's door and ask him for space in his bed. And that would've meant more than actual sleep, simply because he's that kind of person. I ended up deciding against it and stayed downstairs at the table instead. *sighs* I don't regret it, exactly. I have a feeling I may get a similar opportunity next week anyway. If I do...should I take it?

That depends on how you feel about the guy. Sex is great, but don't make the choice on a whim. I can't make that choice for you.

Bah. The first time doesn't have to be special. I have the rest of my life to make it special.

As you can tell, I can't make the choice for myself.

-_- As long as you're fine with him being your first, than go right ahead, just make sure YOU'RE the one who chooses. You WILL regret it if someone else chooses for you.

thexsharpestxlife In reply to FBW [2007-12-03 02:49:53 +0000 UTC]

Mm. Good point. Don't think I'll be rational enough to make any kind of choice, though - lack of sleep does that to me. Nyurgh. Life sucks.

Sorry.

thexsharpestxlife In reply to FBW [2007-12-04 17:16:19 +0000 UTC]

Eh, me too. I ended up staying the night by him on Sunday. We were just lying on bed talking for a couple hours...he said he wanted to kiss me - and more than that - but he couldn't because a) our mutual friend would kill him, and b) he has a lot of shit going on in his life right now. And then he fell asleep on my shoulder. I'm actually kind of proud of him. I think it's the first time he's ever made a good decision of that kind.

So yeah. Still deprived, lol.

Um...I want to say I'm sorry, but it sounds like something good happened...Well, sorry you're still deprived.

thexsharpestxlife In reply to FBW [2007-12-09 04:15:59 +0000 UTC]

And will be deprived for a while longer. Spent Thursday night by him, played Smash for a while, then went to sleep. Same head on shoulder sleeping pattern. I consider, however, that he owes me a kiss. You don't just come out of nowhere with "what would you do if I kissed you?" and then not do it. Hell no. So I intend to collect on that debt this week.

Haha...enjoy. Glad to see you're doing better than me. I'm trying to get out of a relationship.

Oh Lord. Act like a jackass. Wait, no. That might make her want you more. We women tend to be strange like that. I don't know why people can't be straightforward. I don't bullshit. I say what I want. I don't play games, ask trick questions, put people through tests. Why am I still single again?

FBW In reply to thexsharpestxlife [2007-12-10 00:00:54 +0000 UTC]

Hahaha...I don't understand why you're single either. I'm the same way. Thanks for the advice.

Meh. Life bites. But what'll you do? Just keep livin'. L-i-v-i-n.

FBW In reply to thexsharpestxlife [2007-12-10 07:22:00 +0000 UTC]

Well, I guess. I really don't understand why you're single, though. I guess I'm one of the few guys who prefer straight forward women...maybe...I don't know.

Anyway, have fun "L-i-v-i-n."

Lol, it's a quote from Dazed and Confused. Great movie. See it if you haven't already.

I wish more guys were like you.
