Take a Blink-182 beat.. and mix it with a bit of a slow punk/alternative and you have this song's tune.. ( I realize that doesn't help at all.. lol )

------------
Do you see me here
Standing there
In the background of your world
I used to be
In the spotlight
It seemed perfect for awhile

The nights go by
And in time
You've found another
I stepped aside
Now I'm here
I'm standing there
In the background of your world

The nights we laughed
Those times we spent
They seem so precious
I thought they'd last
I never thought
I'd be right here.
Just standing there
In the background of your world

Those nights we talked
About nothing and everything
It felt so nice
To be noticed
You made me feel
So alive
It seems to be
So surreal
To be all the way back here
Just standing there
In the background of your world

Nothing is as precious as the time I spent with you.
Those nights when they seemed so perfect
The nights when I liked you for you
and when you liked me
just for me
Nothing extra it seems to be
but now I'm here
Just standing there
In the background of your world

I'm still right here
Just standing there
Waiting for you to notice me
I'm still right here
Just standing there
In the background of your world.

This was supposed to be a song but turned into a rant/poem. Enjoy and feedback would be appriciated.

This world that we live in
Those places I'm seen in
Never really happen for a reason
It's just natural to wonder from place to place
Oh what a taste, what a taste.
To sample the flavors of this wonderful state
Of being so original so non-materialistic
Don't be pessimistic
About all of this
Nothing is is wrong
Can't you see?
I choose to be free
Free from what they want me to be
Free from goverment
Free from politics
Free from social pressure
and censorship
I'm free to be me.
Just me
Not you or her.
Not what you choose me to be
I'm gonna dress how I want
Not following those trends they send
To you and to me.
I'm just gonna be free.
I'll talk how I want
If it's not correct english well f**k it
Bit by bit they take your true essence
and turn it upside down
and swirl it around until you're nothing
But another stereotype girl.
Reading Cosmo and 17.
Wearing the lastest fashion
and showing no originality.
Your mind is ran by air.
Just air.
Not a creative thought in your head
You've been brainwashed
Your mind is dead
Just by reading those magazines
That tell you what's "normal"
and which the latest trend is seen.
Just do what I do
It seems that's what you do best now
Just be free
like how I am me.
Not you or her.
Just free.

Tonight

Chorus:
Shoot the gun
Let the bullets fly
This is gonna be fun tonight.
Take my hand and hold on tight.
We're gonna have fun tonight.

All the times you let me down
(I'll show you the pain a hundred-fold)
They can't hear you make a sound
(You should have listened to what you were told)
So scream my name and hold on tight.
We're gonna have fun tonight.

::Chorus::

Everytime I see you, I clench my fists.
Hoping that one time--my hand will slip
(You ruined everything)
To see your blood fly for once
To have your touch
(You destroyed who I am)<-- subject to change
Be nothing more than a memory.

::Chorus::

The memories we had
Can never be replaced
The fun we had is now lost
My love for you was real
But our sea of misery was hidden
Concealed by the masks we wore
You made me cry
I felt real pain
(What is real?)
Now it's your turn.
So scream for me and hold on tight
We're gonna have fun tonight.

::chorus::

The memories are lost
Nothing will ever be replaced
What is real?
Is it this pain I feel?
What is --real?

::Chorus x2::

This is another song that's not finished. Oh and don't argue with how my songs sound.. or if they seem unrealistic. I don't care. Just tell me if it sounds alright and stuff..

Oh were sitting on this road
We reflect on what we were told.
We barter our time for the lives that we lost.
Just toss your beliefs out the window.
Nothing seems real anymore.
Nothing seems real anymore.

The world just keeps passing by.
And as much as I scream I just can't seem to reach for the sky.
I used to think everything was in black or white.
But now I see the world as duller grey.
The people pass by.
That don't seem to see me.
They don't seem to notice the screaming.
I'm screaming at the top of lungs and it doesn't seem to make a difference.
I can't seem to make a change.
The world just keeps spinning.

If I could I would make the world stop.
Admire the beauty.--

That's where my thoughts stopped.

A song I'm working on.. I only have the first few lines.. but tell me how it sounds..

I've slept for a hundred long years
I'd wait for you for three hundred more.
The time passes by like their just minutes tonight
You are..
You're coming back to me.
I just know it in my heart
I'm not waiting anymore
I'm gonna come out to find you, my love
You'll be with me once more.
Don't worry.
