Musings Of The Music Maker
This is a collection of songs I did for my creative writing class :)
The titles are in bold, the songs are below! I did 8 songs, hope y'all enjoy.
Song of the Fiery Storms
They’re making monsters out of heroes
Stealing the prince’s crowns
Tearing them off their pedestals
Trying to bring them down
Masks fall to the earth
The final song shall play
Burned wings bound them to the ground
Broken soldiers forced to stay
And as the choir turns to chanting
The mighty’s heads will bow
A swarm of righteous soldiers
Will begin the battle now
Good men run when the angels join the fight
Rising through the night
Streaks of blood flow as they cry
And the good lord knows
He sent down his very best
Their wrath shall know no rest
Heart torn out of chests
Bringers of the peace
Now they’re tearing foes to pieces
Carnage never ceases
An angel’s joined the war
Blades dance inside the dark
Starry Heavens out of reach
Celestials holding the blood of
Mortals, thousands slain by each
They aren't the lives they want to take
Their body’s not their own
It’s not the choice they want to make
But they must reap what has been sown
And as the choir turns to chanting
The mighty’s heads will raise
Eyes can’t be maps to lost gold
So don’t meet their lifeless gaze
Good men run when the angels join the fight
Rising through the night
Streaks of blood roll as they cry
And the good lord knows He sent down his very best
Their wrath shall know no rest
Heart torn out of chests
Bringers of the peace
Now they’re tearing foes to pieces
Carnage never ceases
An angel’s joined the war
Angels from below
Demons from above
Nobody is safe from them
Hold tightly those you love
Angels from below and
Demons from above
Nobody is safe from them
Hold tightly those you
Good men run when the angels join the fight
Rising through the night
Streaks of blood flow as they cry
And the good lord knows He sent down his very best
Their wrath shall know no rest
Heart torn out of chests
Bringers of the peace
Now they’re tearing you to pieces
Carnage never ceases
An angel’s joined the war
The Past, The Future, And Everything In Between
I’m on the edge of a great new start
Don’t know what to bring besides my racing heart
Who I was isn’t who I’m gonna be
What will she like?
Will she drink the same tea?
Will she love my old trinkets
Find my stories funny?
What will she do?
How does she spend her spare time?
Will she count out her dollars
Every penny, every dime?
The voices of the past are screaming
They’re ringing in my ears
But it’s impossible to move on
Until you let go of your fears
I’m on the edge of a brand new start
Don’t know what to give up and what to set apart
What memories should stay with me
Who’s turn is it to leave?
All I know is: I don’t need to grieve
Is she content?
Is she embarrassed by me?
I bet she cringes when she thinks
About who she used to be.
Is she successful?
Did she stick around?
Is she living out my future
Or did she burn down?
The dreams of my past are riding
On someone I don’t know
Blind faith is all that can get me through
This journey, where I must go
I’m on the edge of a brand new start
Don’t know what to give up and what to set apart
What memories should stay with me
Who’s turn is it to leave?
All I know is: I don’t need to grieve
The past already happened
The future lies ahead
Don’t live inside your memories
Stay in this moment, here, instead
Now is the moment to leave what I’m from
Along the way, I don’t know who I’ll become
The foundation is set, now I must wait
I’ll find out what I’ve done on a later date
She can have her own rebirth
Without putting me into the earth
Comic Relief
Okay I guess I’m doing this whether I want to or not
Great I’m really scared and my face feels really hot
I probably should shut up now and get on with the song
This is a really awkward intro it’s been going on so long
And I probably should apologize
You can’t even see my eyes
In case you couldn’t tell, I’m not a stage performer
I’m not sure if I can do this because
If it isn’t obvious I can’t really write a song
I’m pretty much convinced that I’m doing this all wrong
I’m probably hurting all your ears with my odd singing voice
I don’t know why I’m doing this, wait I didn’t have a choice
I know that my jokes aren't funny,
But I swear I did try
I just can't do it,
I’m sorry to let you down
(but) I just can't write a song
Is this really only Verse 2,
I have no clue what else to do
My hands (are) starting to cramp
And I really need an amp
‘Cause I feel like I'm being too quiet and that
I kind of sound like a dying walrus
Or maybe a cat that got hit by a bus
I (really) don’t think I can do this because
I don't know how to write a song
I think I might be doing this all wrong
I can't sing all that well
My guitar skills can go to hell
And I’m not very good at performing, I
Am just too freaking shy
I just can't do it, I'm sorry
I just can't write a song
And if I'm being honest I'm really terrified
To be sitting here and singing under all your judging eyes
And I can't really sing, but I’m still gonna try
Because hey that's what we were assigned
So I'm sorry I have no talent
and this is taking too much time
I’m really freaking awkward if you can’t tell
Honestly doing this is my personal hell
I just can't do this because
I don't really know how to write a song
I think I might be doing this all wrong
There's so many things I could've wrote about
But instead I chose to go down this (weird a**) route
Writing about my incompetence to try and relate
But who knows if my weird singing voice will properly translate
I’m sorry that this is boring, I'm slightly bored as well
Because if you can't tell
I don't know how to write a song
I think I might be doing this all wrong
I can't sing all that well
My guitar skills can go to hell
My rhythm’s really off, and I
Just wanna eat some pie
I just can't do it, I’m sorry
I just can't write this song
Anxious Actions
You try to speak out but silence stifles sound
Echo chamber full of words stuffed into a wary frown
Spit out an SOS call to tie you to the ground
Every time you try to fly away your legs are tied and bound
You can’t say you don’t miss the taste of freedom
But I guess it’s easier to sit still and play dumb
You could fly away, so why go back to where you came from
Stares of strangers fade to black as your brain goes blank (numb)
Surrounded and yet so lonely
In a crowd, there's no way to be the only (one)
Claustrophobic when alone
Time to head outside and brave the unknown
New chance, fresh start– head starts ringing the alarm
If only interaction didn’t come with risk of harm
Go out and get a taste of toxic Southern local charm
Bullets shoot from tongues, they don’t need a firearm
You’re getting strung along for a joyride
Just tryin to plant some roots and then get hit with pesticide
There’s only so many hits that one can take before their pride dies
Is it better to be with bad people or run away and hide?
Surrounded and yet so lonely
In a crowd, there's no way to be the only (one)
Claustrophobic when alone
Time to head outside and brave the unknown
Now your sights go to red, overthink what was said
Surrounded and yet so lonely
In a crowd, there's no way to be the only (one)
Sometimes it’s hard, wanna give up and jump ship
Sometimes you just can’t be prepped for the real s***
Maybe if somebody could help you keep your grip
Look up to the sky and scream
I need help
Surrounded and yet so lonely
In a crowd, there's no way to be the only (one)
Claustrophobic when alone
Time to head outside and brave the unknown
Now your sights go to red, overthink what was said
Surrounded and yet so lonely
In a crowd, there's no way to be the only (one)
Pity Party
Enter empty handed
No date, you’re flying solo
It’s easy to be candid
Cause you’re saying what you already know
Pity party
Set the table for one
Who knew that being lonely could be so much fun
Pity party
Raging with the rising sun
Maybe life will get better but for now
The troubles aren’t done
No gifts are required
If you do, you’re just treating yourself
It’s fine to show up tired
Grab a drink from the kitchen shelf
Pity party
Set the table for one
Who knew that being lonely could be so much fun
Pity party
Raging with the rising sun
Maybe life will get better but for now
The troubles aren’t done
Music dies down
The lights are dim
Chances for a dance
Are looking slim
Get on the floor
Don’t look so blue
The best company
Was always you
One’s a party,
two’s a crowd
Three’s a mob
And four’s too loud
One’s a party
two’s a crowd
Three’s a mob
and four’s too loud
Pity party
Set the table for one
Who knew that being lonely could be so much fun
Pity party
Raging with the rising sun
Maybe life will get better but for now
The troubles aren’t done
New Magic
I’m your soldier on a string
Don’t know the destruction that I bring
It’ll hurt when I see the light
You broke me, altered my brain
I burned through your gold chain
My fire shone far too bright
Don’t look me in the eyes
You’ll see through my disguise
I was never good at trying to hide
You forged me well
From fires of hell
My comeback’s an attack on your pride
I’m a broken man in recovery
Making sure you can’t find me
I hid away from what I did
I realized what you made me do
My memories were not true
Do you realize I was just a kid?
Don’t look me in the eyes
You’ll see through my disguise
I was never good at trying to hide
You forged me well
From fires of hell
My comeback’s an attack on your pride
Hear no evil
Speak no evil
Don’t you see
That you’re just evil
Hear no evil
Speak no evil
See no evil
Am I evil?
Don’t look me in the eyes
You’ll see through my disguise
I was never good at trying to hide
You forged me well
From fires of hell
My comeback’s an attack on your pride
You made me
I saw through you
So now what should we do
You hate that I’m finally free
You made me
But I’m new
There’s nothing you could do
You can’t own me, I’m finally free

I have a crush on this nice girl.
She likes her hair straight, but it's always in curls.
She’s constantly reading, entranced by her book.
Try and get her attention, she won't give you a look.
She looks at stars, like they’re her whole world.
When I sang a song, she leapt and she twirled.
She’d play the guitar, though she didn't know how.
When she sang she was careless, not a crease in her brow.
We were never two halves of a split up whole.
She wasn't the missing piece to my broken soul.
But I rather liked the differences that we had.
I never really understood why those could be bad.
People aren't reflections and our hearts aren't made of glass.
They’d shatter far too fast and they wouldn't last.
Hold onto my shaking hand, and I'll hold onto yours.
And together we can walk out the doors.
I have a crush on this nice girl.
Her hair’s really wavy, but she puts it in curls.
She’s constantly singing, drowns out other sounds.
She leaps through the air, keeps her feet off the ground.
She likes to paint but some days she gets stuck.
She goes hunting for clovers, thinks they'll bring her luck.
Her eyes hold the sunlight, the stars in the sky.
And when she runs quickly, she thinks she can fly.
We were never two halves of a split up whole.
She wasn't the missing piece to my broken soul.
But I rather liked the differences that we had.
I never really understood why those could be bad.
People aren't reflections and our hearts aren't made of glass.
They’d shatter far too fast and they wouldn't last.
Hold onto my shaking hand, and I'll hold onto yours.
And together we can walk out the doors.

Two lonely lovers crossed paths beneath the stars
And the cosmos twisted with us
We talked, shared secrets, and learned
Romance requires trust
You draw circles on my palms and remind me to breathe
It was then that I realized loving you was easy
The moon fell away, giving way to the day
We moved to the music of the dawn
Let’s dance to the start of a new day
Don’t let the last song play
Not thinking ‘bout where time went
Can we stay in this moment,
Underneath the starlight
As we enjoy the end of our night
We hid away in secret
But that didn’t really last
So we ignored the whispers
From the people we passed
I toss you a rose in the middle of the hall
You called me a prince, so I took you to a ball
All sights were on us but my eyes stayed on you
As we talked the whole night through
Let’s dance to the start of a new day
Don’t let the last song play
Not thinking ‘bout where time went
Can we stay in this moment
Where our worries are none
And enjoy the rise of the sun
There’s a world all around us
That we try to ignore
But when the party is over
We’ll walk out the door
There’s time working against us
And though we’d rather not go
When the fates weave our stories
We’ll reap what they sew
There’ll be knotted thread between us
And a million miles
Messages and memories
And forgotten shared smiles
There’ll be us, who feel lost and unsure
Our hands will be empty
Our minds will be full
Both tugging on wrists wrapped in wool
So
Can we dance to the start of a new day
Please don’t make the last song play
Can we stay in this moment
Skip where it went wrong
And enjoy our final song
And enjoy our final song
