Burning (Song)

Burning (Song)

A Poem by Damien Davison
"

And smoke rises, as the snow falls, rushing the rain...

"
Sick of the feeling
I'm never gon' win this
I'm reaching the ceiling 
Emotions are giving
The wound is not healing
How can I forget this
The Dark is appealing
Though Light I have witnessed
Demons are screaming out louder than ever
F**k, Damien keep reaching, those ties you will sever 
Love is decieveing, though lies very clever
No point in keeping, those skies aren't forever
Trying to climb down to the ashes 
To climb up, continue to patch this
Those bridges never lasted, no chance 
Fire on a rage influenced canvas
Now I'm up standing
Think I can handle it?
Think I can manage to convert the madness
Lose it all gambling, then like my dad quit
Meet up with crack heads, then take mad hit
I won't get what want
Soon won't get what I need
But I'll need for there 
To be someone for me
I know it isn't fair, expected to see
But please believe, I'll give all that I keep
I'll need her to have a tattoo on her face
So we can walk through our life at the same pace
Obsession, possession, love unerased
Attention, affection, doubt ever unfaced
It's actually not that too much to ask for
When did you stop to care when I asked you
My heart was hot, your's like a cat, cool
Won't get involved, don't get attached to
My effort in love is over 
No longer feeling my heart's exposure
Quit searching
I have been learning
If I keep yearning
Them bridges burn.
This castle is burning
Trapped, no turning
Thought's concerning
And smoke rises
As the snow falls
Rushing the rain
The tides are coming in faster
Then I could have ever predicted
The waves are like walls 
Will I hold my ground or slip
From the water wall to the rocks on the shore
My head caved in for my need to explore
Trying to quench my thirst for knowledge
Always end up falling finding more
I'm starting to realize that what I keep searching for
I will not find cause it doesn't exist
I know that I can't stop time
I know that there's no f*****g point to this
I've watched so many youth walking through life alone
They are not happy, they have no home
They are there camping, no one to hold
No man, it can't be, oh but I know... 
I was one of those kids 
4 of my friends, we were living in tents
Partying harder then we should have been
We loved the freedom, but never again
Had a crew full of hate
Waking up late to another escape
We were working so hard just to live
Survival now a tattoo on my face
6 years has passed
I wonder just how those friends have managed
I hope they made it and changed it and stayed with elevation
Cause that's just crazy 
There should be no reason in Canada
Kids shouldn't be so damaged
One look and it looks like their mad at you
Musicians keep taking advantage

this was a great song lyric- I myself can not imagine how hard a song is to write, much harder i think than a poem--good and powerful work

Well so far and even before, Your words are powerful beyond explanation! :)
Hmm. I would say this is a good peice and I like the rythm, the lyrics are a bit off at times but it is still wonderful. Great song. If it came out right now, I would buy it.
