Jabble524 Posted June 14, 2009 Share Posted June 14, 2009 Hello, my name is Jason. These are lyrics for six songs I wrote for my band. If anyone has time, I would love feedback. 1) Heavenly Hypocrisy To deny someone love is a cruel torture But in a selfish quest for eternal paradise Fragile souls have to keep their morals straight To avoid the wrath of a loving god So with heavenly hypocrisy They carve hearts out of chests And leave them to decay On the beaches of mortal sin Beaches where the sand is stained red And crimson colored waves gently kiss the shore Where vultures pick at the remains of shattered romance And the sour fragrance of broken dreams pollutes the air Far away- From shattered romance and broken dreams Fragile souls bathe in heaven’s radiance Where they drink fine wine, and dance the night away Far away- From the pain and suffering caused by discrimination Fragile souls listen to a holy man As he makes a toast, to equality 2) Venomous Counterfeit Angels Daily homicide led to my broken heart suicide Tortured nights, but no one could see how I felt inside With my intestines wrapped around your heart, I just couldn't digest your loss So like a broken dream- I began to fade away Cause you told me goodnight, then stabbed me in the back You told me goodnight, then stabbed me in the back I've loved counterfeit angels And had my intestines replaced with rattlesnakes Painful slithering memories keep me trapped, in your poison embrace Cause you told me goodnight, then stabbed me in the back You told me goodnight, then stabbed me in the back When you cast me out of your heart You created all the venomous demons I can't exorcise 3) Jade Green Eyes A carnal pilgrimage To the kingdom of pleasure Where morals disappear Beneath vanity and lust Jade green eyes And serpent like thighs Pulling me in- Deeper and deeper Pulling me down- Into the flames Angels cry in sorrow- As our souls descend to the second circle Among demons and lost souls I taste your cherry red lips And we make love Angels shed tears- For those lost to sins of the flesh Angels shed tears- For those condemned, for crawling from bed to bed For slithering from lover to lover Angels wept- But in the fiery passion of your kiss We've burned those Sunday Words And spread the ashes along the path Of immoral romance 4) Shedding Skin Her jade green eyes are focused Like a coiled rattlesnake Ready to strike its prey Her cherry red lips are hungry Like an ancient vampire Who's slept for centuries And awakes to hunt once more Her forked purple tongue Is strangely sweet and seductive Flickering in and out, with malevolence But I don't care Although each venomous kiss Brings me closer to the reaper And each sinful embrace Brings my soul closer to hell I don't care Because being with her Is like shedding skin Reincarnated by lust And born again Outside of heaven's gates Our souls are carelessly discarded Like broken wedding vows Our hearts tossed aside to decay Like morals when they're inconvenient 5) No Shame (In a Devil's Kiss) I'd rather sleep with devils In seductive red lingerie Then live by their standards Conform and obey I'd rather taste luscious apples From the tree of desire Then live my life fearful Of brimstone and fire Cause darling your legs open And heaven's gates close I'd rather feel carnal pleasures And be labeled defiant Then let my soul wither Forever longing, but silent Cause darling your legs open And heaven's gates close As I stand before heaven's judgment You can carve my heart out But paradise is not lost to me Because what's wrong with passion and ecstasy - Between consenting adults? 6) Kisses Indicate I can leave the place where time stops Just outside of the second circle I can leave the place where time stops Heavenly paradise vanishes Censored screams whispered They're spectacular with the vernacular of confusion Kisses indicate the illusion There's correlations between your lacerations Watch the sunrise And fall asleep in loving arms Cherry kisses at sunset And wake me from my dreams Censored screams whispered They're spectacular with the vernacular of confusion Kisses indicate the illusion There's correlations between your lacerations And they all point towards a beautiful bride In a gorgeous wedding dress Whose hands are stained crimson Because she holds the beating heart Of a fallen angel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jabble524 Posted June 22, 2009 Author Share Posted June 22, 2009 Thirteen Tigers Walk up to the gate in the ancient wilderness Seven cobras guard the sacred waterfall Cross the wooden bridge to the mystic portal Thirteen tigers guard the passage between realms Step through the sands of time, to another life See the threads of destiny, which connect your life See the threads of fate, which connect us all See how love can rise like the phoenix From the ashes of violence and war Journey through a kingdom of hypocrisy Past the aristocracy, and the corrupt elegance Past the theocracy, and the soothing eloquence Arrive in a town of mysterious lunacy Where no one has a shadow, or reflection Where women dance naked, and cry redemption When the final grain of sand falls from the hourglass The reaper will laugh at your mea culpa And your deathbed epiphany, to finally seize the day For even the reaper cannot stop time From eventually devouring us all Mortality is melting away Like a careless vampire Who gets caught in the sunrise The sorcerer is laughing Cause the sky is falling Memento Mori A new day is calling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reswati Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 I just don't know what your plan is, you wanna sell these lyrics to Alanis. Mental musings deep and fine, even when they don't seem to rhyme, all of the time. Mathemathical words reflecting minds that want to say, look at my soul's algebra, it just took me ten days, to write such things even Dream Theater can't do. I write my songs like poetry, your songs are up to you. Greets Res Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jabble524 Posted November 20, 2009 Author Share Posted November 20, 2009 1) Kiss the Rattlesnake The perilous path to paradise Ominous omens in disguise I left my soul at sunrise On the beaches to be sacrificed Orchestrated oblivion Choreographed chaos A ravenous rendezvous Of insatiable lust Kiss the rattlesnake And poison your trust Orchestrated oblivion Choreographed chaos The strongest aphrodisiac is curiosity When the mystery is solved The sweetest ambrosia loses its flavor And passion slowly withers 2) Midnight Lovers Two midnight lovers by the lake The moonlight dances across the crystal water I savor the taste from your luscious lips And softly caress your beautiful hips Warm velvet skin moves across me Forever seems so far away While lying in your lover’s arms My heart is an elegant cathedral Exquisite designs of romance Decorate the walls and the ceiling Down the hallway, I hear angelic voices Singing of priceless love Your Judas Kiss was soft and tender Betrayed by a seductive Aquarius With lips blood red and nefarious Pain and punishment are vicarious My heart is a brothel A revolving door of lost souls Foreign lips and a stranger’s hips Cold scaly skin moves across me Whether in celestial spheres Or circles of the inferno The concept of forever Has become crystal clear Outside of your arms 3) Atrophy to Ashes At first we could barely keep our hands off each other But time is a slow venom That causes romance to atrophy Now we can barely stand to touch each other I live a secret life Like a fire chief Who moonlights as an arsonist Fiery desires replace complacent kisses You burn in my selfish flames But refuse to admit we’ve grown apart Like Siamese twins Who deny they’ve been separated As I walk by the charred remains Of a once vibrant romance I see you desperately trying To capture all the scattered ashes As they blow in the wind In a moment of clarity I realize why love and reason Are enemies 4) Occult of Personality I take the path of excess To the palace of wisdom Redemption is worthless Beauty and fulfillment of the senses are priceless I explore every vice And indulge in deadly sins To awaken my senses And escape the soul’s prison Subconscious desires rise to the surface Instinct replaces what I’ve been taught Morality is relative Ambition is blind Chaos is strangely intriguing Like the chance to sleep with an ex lover One more time I left you long ago Because your kisses lost their flavor Now I hear the serpent laughing As I frantically stab my hideous portrait My past sins punish me with age Once I’m wretched and withered The serpent smiles And then slithers away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jabble524 Posted January 20, 2010 Author Share Posted January 20, 2010 Awake As I approach the portal, between consciousness and sleep I smell the romantic aroma of peach mango scented candles The sweet fragrance of burning apple cinnamon incense And intoxicating cherry vanilla perfume, drifting across from the other side When I crossover into dreams I hear serpents and scoundrels, speaking in tongues Sirens singing of carnal delights, for shipwrecked sailors And a seductive symphony of unconscious desires I see bright yellow eyes, glowing in the summer moonlight The reaper and father time playing chess, one of them nearing checkmate The Phoenix rising from the ashes, of forgotten senses And vibrant colors of red, orange, blue, pink, and purple I feel cold hands reaching out from the shadows Warm breath on the back of my neck, my hairs standing on end Smooth velvet skin crawling beneath silk sheets And wet tongues that slither slowly across my chest At an elegant banquet, I dine on the finest ambrosia A flavorful assortment of tastes, with sweet spices and marinades Lobster tails and crab legs, smoked salmon, glazed shrimp, and filet mignon Cooked vegetables, forbidden fruit, cheesecake with caramel, and white wine Across the crowded ballroom, and through a maze of forgettable faces I see a beautiful woman in a black sequined dress She has soft white skin and long auburn hair Red fingernails and a radiant smile, behind crimson lipstick Her eyes are mysterious and mesmerizing The right one is light blue And the left one is dark green Neither seem confined by mortality, or concerned with time After a few moments she notices my transfixed gaze And our eyes meet in a moment of unconscious destiny Then she smiles seductively, and confidently walks towards me As she approaches, I can smell her intoxicating perfume Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jabble524 Posted February 23, 2010 Author Share Posted February 23, 2010 Nine Lives Sullen eyes, stung by the sunrise Crestfallen lovers, under ominous skies We lost our immortality today Nine lives withered, and faded away Precious memories of passion and romance Wrapped in beautifully decorated cocoons Safe from the bitterness of regret And from being devoured, by the cruelty of time Leeches lurking in sultry eyes They covet intensely, and rarely compromise I want to hear it crackle, and smell the cinders Incarnate illusions, behind benevolent smiles Exiled connoisseur, of forbidden pleasures Scarlet letters carved in flesh Exploring ancient catacombs of the unconscious Searching for past lives and forgotten lovers Scattered throughout the sands of time Piecing together fragmented memories And mysterious dreams, veiled in shadows Channeling abstract, and elusive sensations To stimulate senses, no longer aroused By the narrow spectrum of consciousness Scavenging the obscure corners Of the aficionado’s abandoned wasteland Looking for the path to serenity Tired legs and weary eyes wishing To be home in your heart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jabble524 Posted April 9, 2010 Author Share Posted April 9, 2010 Phantoms Saw myself reflected in you Thought I could stop my pain By being your tourniquet Tried so hard, to keep our cravings From carving their way into consciousness But they severed our serenity And divorced our love from trust Denial taught me how to lie Found clever places To hide from my shadow And slip into illusion Enchanted by envy And enamored with vanity Hubris led us to the ocean Waves of euphoria Kissed the lonely beaches Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jabble524 Posted April 28, 2010 Author Share Posted April 28, 2010 Shedding Schisms Shedding skin at sunset I succumb to my subconscious And sell my soul to stimulate Sullen and subdued senses Savoring sensations, as I spiral Into a sea of self-loathing Where the severed serpent speaks of The gold within my shadow Starving for control, I slither into The sanctuary of self-reproach Safe from the sacrifice required To heal the schisms Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jabble524 Posted September 3, 2010 Author Share Posted September 3, 2010 Denial I feel the cat’s claws, digging into my tongue When my reflection, asks who I am I never mourned you Just fed you to my shadow Heartbreak led to hedonism Created a cornucopia of denial With neatly decorated lies And cleverly crafted excuses Disenchanted and desensitized Desperately clinging to vanity As insecurity starts to claw through Speechless Crawling back to my castle Where phantom limbs Caress romantic memories Undertow (Swim Away) You carved out my heart But I sharpened the knife Betrayal turned into control When you begged forgiveness Sacrificed my dreams and desires Thought I could love you, and you’d change Enabled with love, while reason atrophied Second chances disguised as compassion You could smell loneliness Like blood in the water Caught in the undertow I saw your fin approaching But didn’t have the self esteem To swim away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
