Pulling Out My Insides is een verzameling van zelfgeschreven gedichten. Het ene al wat persoonlijker dan het andere. Deze blog is enkel gecreëerd om mijn gedichten toegankelijker te maken voor de mensen die ze graag lezen. Commentaar of kritiek is altijd welkom, maar houdt het beschaafd.
There is a man on the edge of his world Right at the brink is where he lays curled All alone he came and all alone he went Just waiting in his desert for all of it to end
Lost in thought and lost in his mind Regretting the fact he had been so blind He planted his heart in this very soil But was never prepared for it to recoil So these lands on the edge is where he now roams Where his heart got lost, but where he feels home
Lost his heart and broke his soul Still there’s no better place where he could feel whole No hope to find his long lost heart Time will most slowly tear his soul apart
She is the one who brought him to naught Thinking her love is what he sought But she left his heart to rot in this ground Where it slowly died without any sound Still his love for her was never to fade ‘She will return’ he said and so he stayed
But then came the time he finally saw And God, he was struck by this incredible awe The flower rose up from within these sands And grew by the care of his fatherly hands
Lost his heart and broke his soul Still there’s no better place where he could feel whole A flower grew where he buried his heart Could it be time for a new and fresh start
Lost his heart and broke his soul Still there’s no better place where he could feel whole A flower grew where he buried his heart Could it be time for a new and fresh start
Well yes girl, yes girl, why don’t you see He buried the love which was meant to be This flower, it grows to strengthen his heart But she never came back to fulfill her part
And it has been so long I need to keep my heart strong As clouds form, around my soul On my knees it takes its toll On my soul
The darkness shrouds what is my way It tries to lead me well astray But in my heart, I keep strong To where I know I belong I keep strong
And you led me to the light Showed me the way And said; ‘all will be alright But you can’t stay’
And I will find my way, you’ll see, right in your arms And leave what is the safety of towns and farms To find that one place I know where I belong To where my heart felt love so true and strong
And the road has been so long If just my heart would hold on But oh no more The road before Stretches on to far beyond So far beyond
And I will walk alone when darkness falls I won’t admit to its calls But God how long Before my heart goes weak and I go wrong And I’m so scared of those clouds around my soul
And I will find my way, you’ll see, right in your arms And leave what is the safety of towns and farms To find that one place I know where I belong To where my heart felt love so true and strong
And I will find my way, you’ll see, right in your arms And leave what is the safety of towns and farms To find that one place I know where I belong To where my heart felt love so true and strong
Time runs low The clock’s ticking slow That’s what is left of me
And if I moved quicker Making me sicker Whatever time will be That’s what is left of me
(chorus) Lay me down Let me slowly drown In rivers of regret Where our tears met
Lay me down Let me slowly drown In rivers of regret
The water runs low The time has come to go The water’s been running out And all this doubt And all which will never be That’s what is left of me
(chorus)
And I know an end when I see one And this is one I cannot outrun Time has set me on its way The water’s washing me away If only a little longer you could stay
But what is done is done And it cannot be undone I take my rest upon full sea You’re all that’s left of me
We two connect like old friends While we only met for mere moments There must be a way, there must be a way We are much more than what we say
And every feeling we put on a shelf Into that box we keep for ourselves So outside we can show off strong A masquerade in which we tag along
And due to the mask we’ve been blind We let us be led by our own minds There must be a way, there must be a way To let these doubts slowly fade away
And our love we bury in the ground Where it can never again be found So outside we can show off strong A masquerade in which we tag along
(chorus) Pull it off, pull it off Pull it off, pull it off (ooh woaaah) Pull it off, pull it off Pull it off, pull it off (ooh woaaah)
And it’s hard to be us with these masks on our face So pull them off, oh woah
My mind is done with playing its part So tonight I’m going to speak with my whole heart And outside we can show off strong But the masquerade is not where we belong
(Chorus)
And it’s hard to be us with these masks on our face And given half the chance I would rip it from its place And after we kiss, together we go on And the masquerade will be gone
(oh woah, oh woah)
And I’m damned if I do and I’m damned if I don’t We should leave it all behind even if you won’t And we’ve been fools to be led by our minds And all of those thoughts we should leave behind Cause looking inside, for your love for me Looking inside, for your love for me Well what the hell, let’s let our feelings run free
Be aware, Of his promise Please believe, What I say Take care, He may look harmless His deceive, Leads to decay
So he creates this awkward feeling Like it seems your heart he’s stealing And like a summer breeze He will make you feel at ease And if he makes you feel at ease He will talk you of his promise And at first it might seem clever But you will be bound forever
And your soul is forever his to keep
Be aware, Of his promise Please believe, What I say Take care, He may look harmless His deceive, Leads to decay
For the words may come so easy But they’ll make you feel all queasy And the vows may come too quickly But once made you will see clearly Even if you really love him You’ll see your love’s not for him But the pact he will keep you to And you’ll remember how I warned you
And your soul is forever his to keep Yes your soul is forever his to keep
Now don’t say I never warned you There’s no more that you can do If I told you how I loved you Would that have made a difference? Well, we might have run together But you chose his side forever My love, how I’ve warned you And believe it pains me too
That your soul is forever his to keep And you know you lost all so you weep Yes your soul is forever his to keep
Dit gedicht is gebaseerd op volgende song: Klaxons - Hello 23 (Geen youtube video beschikbaar)
Cities lay in ruin near the Broken Mountain Where fumes still poison those alive Blood still floods in the centre fountain Where dragons started to revive
If you can predict all these random events They start to form a prophecy Find out what this vivid dream represents to some extent an odyssey
There’s no way out You can’t escape What’s to be your destiny
Statues speak of an aged Wolf Mother Fabled to bring us our end A wolfman turning to his fellow brother Tells “you’d better run, my friend”
If you can predict all these random events They start to form a prophecy Find out what this vivid dream represents to some extent an odyssey
There’s no way out You can’t escape What’s to be your destiny
A vision formed of a mythic Death Lance Putting the wolf mother to rest With sword in hand a final dragon’s dance Saving what is left at best
If you can predict all these random events They start to form a prophecy Find out what this vivid dream represents to some extent an odyssey
There’s no way out You can’t escape What is to be your destiny
