beat aginst my chest

lots of nu-metal, hip-hop, rap, just staring writng and finished ...

 

 

 

every day i wake up

 

To the same faces, same places

To the same bloodshot eyes in the mirror

They keep asking me, begging me

To make sense of the life I’m leading

One day at a time I say to myself in the mirror

One foot in front of the other

We’ll see where it leads us 

But this world is filled with hate

I see my fears everyday

I can't walk down the street 

Without feeling just that little bit afraid

And I know that I’m strong

And I know that you’re wrong 

To blame this all on us 

Just because we're young

We live in the world that you've created

The place you made for us

And you tear us apart for how we turned out

There’s so much yet I don't understand

And so much more I’m sure I don't want to 

So I’ll put one foot out ahead

And keep my eyes on the horizon

And dance to the rhythm 

Beating out against my chest 

I’ll just keep moving 

So let’s see where that leads us 

One step at a time

 

To the beat of my heart

this is a rap song (in the making in my head)

 Every day I wake up,

To the same faces, same places

Same bloodshot eyes in the mirror

They keep asking me, begging me

To make sense of the life I’m leading

One day at a time I say to myself

One foot in front of the other

We’ll see where it leads us 

And you tell me that no way to live my life

But just sit down a minute,

Keep quiet take second to revise over the words

That you spoke, looking down on me

Two words are more important than all the rest

They are

My life, my choices, my world

My time, my chances, my mistakes

My dreams, my hopes, my fears,

My lies, my tears, my death

The only way to live it, is the only way that I choose

 

 

 

 

 

But this world is filled with hate

I see my fears everyday

I can't walk down the street 

Without feeling just that little bit afraid

This could be my last breath,

The end of my thread

And I find myself imagining myself found dead

See the tears fall when the police call

To my family home

Watch them standing round my coffin

As the lids swings shut

And I wake in a sweat

Safe here in my bed

But who knows what tomorrow will bring

Who can tell?

 

And I know that I’m strong

And I know that you’re wrong 

To blame this all on us 

Just because we are young

We live in the world that you've created

In the place you made for us

And you tear us apart for how we turned out

And there’s so much I don't understand

And so much more

I’m sure I don't want to 

So I’ll put one foot out ahead

And keep my eyes on the horizon

And I'll dance to the rhythm 

Beating out against my chest 

I’ll just keep moving 

So let’s see where that leads us 

One step at a time

To the beat of my heart

 Every day I wake up

They are

My life, my choices, my world

My time, my chances, my mistakes

My dreams, my hopes, my fears,

My lies, my tears, my death

The only way to live it, is the only way that I choose

Now don’t get me wrong

Because I agree with you

 I want to get up, rise up, leave this town, shout out

Find my place, make my mark

Learn to live, love and smile

 But I spent too long just trying to belong

To find a place to fit in, in amongst the crowd

That I just got fed up, gave up

Turned my back and put my head down

Turned up the volume up and let these bands 

Drown the world out

When I finally found my place and learned to raise my head

To listen to the sounds of those I call my friends

Still the same thoughts, silent, kept pushing through

What the hell are you going to do with your life?

Your time is running out, make your choice,

Or you can sit back keep watch and wave as your friends move on,

Go back to your world with your head down and music on 

WHAT THE F**K IS GOING ON?

It is my mind, my choices, my thoughts 

That keeps f*****g me

Tripping me, pushing me, beat me into submission

Because of my mind the only place I excel

Is giving up, quitting this and f*****g up my life

But I’m moving on, I've grabbed the cup 

And smashed against the wall

Half full, half empty

Those are thoughts I don’t need to be thinking

But don’t get me wrong this song has no happy ending

I still don’t know the choices that I’m picking

But I’m still young, 

I still have all the time to learn,

I swear I won't get stuck here

This town will drag me down

So I’m getting out maybe then I find my place

Or maybe I’ll be stuck with this frame of mind

For the rest of my time

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

But this world is filled with hate

I see my fears everyday

I can't walk down the street 

Without feeling just that little bit afraid

This could be my last breath,

The end of my thread

And I find myself imagining myself found dead

See the tears fall when the police call

To my family home

Watch them standing round my coffin

As the lids swings shut

And I wake in a sweat

Safe here in my bed

But who knows what tomorrow will bring

Who can tell?

 

And I know that I’m strong

And I know that you’re wrong 

To blame this all on us 

Just because we are young

We live in the world that you've created

In the place you made for us

And you tear us apart for how we turned out

And there’s so much I don't understand

And so much more

I’m sure I don't want to 

So I’ll put one foot out ahead

And keep my eyes on the horizon

And I'll dance to the rhythm 

Beating out against my chest 

I’ll just keep moving 

So let’s see where that leads us 

One step at a time

To the beat of my heart

Reviews

[WriterMe]

Aha, I knew your works were meant to be songs. I love LP too and i can so see the influence in your work. In fact, I just reviewed your work called 'pushing me away' and i couldn't help but think about Linkin Park's song.
Anyway, going back to this piece. Again i think your works would make great songs because the lyrics make a great deal of sense. It had the depth, emotions and that captivating factor to it which quite frankly, most rap songs so don't have these days.
Great work =]
