After listening to a lot of Alice In Chains today, I attempted to come up with some lyrics, dark like Layne Staley's. Usually I go about creating lyrics by writing poetry. I am most certainly not a regular poet, I'm only 16, but I just wrote this in about 5 minutes or so and am curious what others think about it.
Untitled:
warmed by the candle
which ceases to burn
passion a memory
we forget to learn
what the light exposes
makes your stomach churn
maybe... maybe... sanity returns
like a light in the distance
through the veil of perception
what we know
is it our misconceptions?
blissful pain
ecstatic torment
i can't understand
because my mind...
it laments
what i thought i knew
what i knew i thought
in a circumventing fashion
i never forgot
the lies and pain
that needle brought
once in the vein
your life is bought
for 30 pieces of silver
and the passion you forgot
