So NaBloPoMo's Wednesday contributions will see me return to posting some of my original writing. Today however I think I have been hanging with
Loki-Lou too much (if that is even possible she is hilarious). This combined with my current musical obsession - the
Lostprohets has resulted in a very surreal story that turned into an internal conversation with inner voices. I promise I have only taken paracetamol with some Pepsi!!
99% of the lyrics are from the Lostprophets, I hope they don't read this and come after me with some random sharp implement for sodomising their songs :-/ However there are three lines attributed to other artists, prize for anyone who can spot all three (and by prize I mean a very big virtual pat on the back - I am a writer/librarian I can't afford outlandish prizes. I sit here typing with my gloves on to stop my fingers freezing)
So with out further ado (ok maybe a little, the 'you's' in italics means she is talking to the boy, the normal 'you's' mean she is talking to herself)
Me, Myself and I
Girl (G) - ‘You’re here by my side in my summer’
‘Don’t you wake me up, I don’t
want this dream to end’
Inner voice 1(I1) - ‘Some days these dreams just ain’t
enough’
G - ‘But when you’re here with me that’s all I need’
I1 - You’re ‘lost in fiction’
Inner voice 2 (I2) - ‘So can you feel your heartbeat racing?
Can you feel the tension rise?’
I1 - It’s ‘Always the wrong place at the wrong time’ this
is ‘No good for me, no good for you’
G - ‘I’m sick of holding it in’
I2 - ‘Stop dreaming, start something’
G - ‘Are we lost or do we know
which direction we should go? Sit around and wait for someone to take our hands
and lead the way’
I2 - ‘Wake up, yeah I’m so sick of waiting for us to make a
move.’ ‘It’s time to make a move’
G - ‘I don’t know how to change
from being me, I don’t know what to say, maybe another day’
I1 - ‘If only you tried you could move on.’
G - ‘Another day, in another
hand, things could be so different’
I1 - ‘You’re wasting your time’
I2 - ‘For all this to mean so much to me, for all this you
make a move’ ‘Win or lose it’s time to choose’
G - ‘Every word I say would come
out wrong and make you look the other
way’
‘Her eyes are open like a book’
G - ‘I’ll be there cos I can see
in your smile time stood still for me when you
call’ ‘Answer me this’ ‘ How you feel , when you’re lying next to me’ ‘Could
you be the one?’
‘For all these times that we
walked away’ ‘Give me something to believe in, give me someone to believe in’
Boy (B) - ‘My soldiers march
tonight, in the city of your dreams. This beautiful army are tearing at your
seams’
G - But ‘the stars, they shine
for you’ ‘I will not let this part of me be apart from you’
B - ‘Hey now dry your eyes, you
will recover’ ‘I’m not what you want me to be’ ‘and if we did we won’t be
friends’
G - ‘I would stop time to stay
with you’ ‘I would stop time to keep you here’
B - ‘Tonight I feel stronger,
Goodbye’
I1 - ‘Love, like waves always crashing down around us’
G - ‘I can see into this abyss,
there is no stopping me from feeling this’ ‘There’s no hope for me’ ‘I’m slowly
taking apart my broken sanity’
I2 - ‘And there’s a lot you can’t undo’
I1 - ‘I’ve never been the one to turn my back or let you
fall through those cracks under your feet’ ‘some days are good, some days are
tough’
G - ‘I know this feeling I keep
buried inside won’t retreat or delete. It ends tonight, the dull pain that
remains isn’t pretty’
I2 - ‘So how’s it gonna feel when I leave this town, broke
and burning, with memories that we once found’
I1 - ‘Hold on, where we belong’
G - ‘And I seem to think you were once here with me, maybe I was
wrong’ ‘And I sit and wonder, falling under’ ‘All these memories pull me down
like lead’
Thoughts come my way....but it
was nothing at all’ ‘I get the feeling that it’s gone and it’s the reason that
I feel so dark now’
I1 - ‘If it wasn’t for love we’d have faded away’
G - ‘You took apart my soul’ ‘You
put me on my knees and cut my throat’ ‘See you at the bitter end’
G - ‘To all the fights I’ve
conquered and beyond’ ‘Love was once a part but now it’s disappeared’ ‘But I
still feel lost without you’
‘Yesterday I lost my closest
friend, yesterday I wanted time to end. I wonder if my heart will ever mend, I
just let you slip away’
‘Maybe I’ll never see you smile again, maybe you thought it was all pretend. All
these words that I could never say, I just let them slip away’
‘Maybe one day when I can move
along. Maybe someday when you can
hear this song. You won’t let this
slip away.’ ‘I wonder if you’re
listening, picking up on the signals’
‘And I wait here on my own, and
I wait to see’
‘Pick myself up off the ground’ ‘And
put the pieces back as one’
I1 - ‘Times like these won’t last forever’ ‘Burn, burn the
life you can’t choose’
G - ‘We’re giving up, we’re
moving on’
B - ‘Hello again, it seems so
long since we last met’ ‘Just say hello again, say hello again’ ’Remember what
it was like to enjoy our time’
I2 - ‘It’s not the end if you just say hello again’
I1 - ‘But tonight you’ll get it right’
G - ‘I have no regrets’ ‘The memories
I hope will never fade’
‘Tonight I feel stronger, Goodbye’
I hope you liked it and you don't now send the men in white coats after me ;-)
