Dawn

Lyrics, , , , , ,

Looking at you now I don’t know who you are
I never ever thought you would go this far
You could kiss every guy I have ever met
Cause if he’s not a frog I haven’t met him yet
I pick myself up and no ones there to catch me
And I will survive without you just watch me
You could take the spotlight from right under my feet
But my time will come so why don’t you have a seat

I’m always coming second best to first born
Left wandering the halls in the hours before dawn
I tried to keep up but you left me behind
You said you could change but did you even try

After all this time can you feel your crown slipping
I’ve finally seen all those lies you’ve been spinning
You took away my voice and made me feel small
But to everyone else you’re the belle of the ball
Who would want resting bitch face when they can have you
You’re easier to talk to and easier to screw
Everything’s broken now and you can’t fix it
But you were the one who did nothing but risk it

I’m always coming second best to first born
Left wandering the halls in the hours before dawn
I tried to keep up but you left me behind
You said you could change but did you even try

I can tell that you don’t know what you’ve done to me
So some day some how I’ll just have to make you see
I can see that you don’t know how deep you’ve cut me
Some day somehow I’ll just have to make you see

I’m always coming second best to first born
Left wandering the halls in the hours before dawn
I tried to keep up but you left me behind
You said you could change but did you even try

Love

Stay

Lyrics, , , ,

How could I leave this town
Where only dead things grow
Of all the paths to choose from
I know it’s the only road
With the devil on my shoulder
And the angel losing it’s fight
The voices whisper in my ear
I must suffocate the light

Follow your demons to the depths of hell
Who will win only time will tell
The flames will dance and the shadows will play
Whoever wins you both must stay

When the spell was cast at dawn
It’s time for demons to hide
The darkness claws out of me
Leaving me hollow inside
Waiting for night to fall
Is worse than watching blood dry
When evil comes out to play
Your soul begins to cry

Follow your demons to the depths of hell
Who will win only time will tell
The flames will dance and the shadows will play
Whoever wins you both must stay

You’ve gone too far there’s no turning back
The light is gone and your soul is black
But at the gates you can only smile
Better add psychotic to your file

Follow your demons to the depths of hell
Who will win only time will tell
The flames will dance and the shadows will play
Whoever wins you both must stay

Love

I Will Not Forget

A Little Piece Of Me, About Lyrics, , , , , , ,

Paint The Walls was written after the one year anniversary of a day I’ll never forget. The Lindt Cafe siege in Sydney. I was at work about 5 metres away when it started.

I’ve written other lyrics in the months following that day but they were more emotional and I wanted to write something now that a bit more time has passed. Something less about what I felt and more about what happened after.

The amount of people that stopped by afterwards, not to pay their respects, but to take a selfie in front of the building was disgusting. One family tried to get in and see the inside. It was still a crime scene and these parents wanted to take their young children in to see where 2 innocent lives were lost.

And don’t get me started about the media. You should have seen the amount of cameras there were the day of the grand reopening.

I still get angry when I think about the days following 15/12/14. But not everyone was so disrespectful. There were so many flowers that they had to keep finding new places where people could put them.

I used to think about that day everyday. Working so close didn’t really help. I can’t imagine what it’s like for those working in Lindt that day that still work there. But lately I’ve found that I’m thinking about it less and less.

I don’t want to forget about it. I don’t want to forget the lives that were lost and the lives that were changed forever. I feel that if I stop thinking about that day then those lives will be forgotten, like they didn’t mean anything. Like their tragic deaths didn’t mean anything. That would make the events of those 17 hours even more tragic.

I don’t want to forget. I will not forget.

Love

Paint The Walls

Lyrics, , , , , ,

The bar wasn’t opened but I needed a drink
So much had happened I could hardly think
I was barely through the door when I was embraced
Back then not even I knew the things I faced
Defined by a day buried deep in my head
Old tears weren’t drying before new ones were shed
We saw not only the flowers and kind words
There were cameras rolling they came in herds

With the threat of a bomb hanging over your head
Walking down the street like it’s dawn of the dead
How does it feel to know that while others bled
You were at home dreaming safely in bed
With the threat of a bomb hanging over your head
Walking down the street like it’s dawn of the dead
When he stayed up late to paint the walls red
You were at home dreaming safely in bed

I witnessed the worst of human reactions
Like it was just another tourist distraction
People had questions and things to be said
But I had the answers programmed in my head
Daily reminders reawaken my fear
Those from the past always present and near
One day I’ll move forward next I’ll fall behind
And some days I hoped I’d never be fine

With the threat of a bomb hanging over your head
Walking down the street like it’s dawn of the dead
How does it feel to know that while others bled
You were at home dreaming safely in bed
With the threat of a bomb hanging over your head
Walking down the street like it’s dawn of the dead
When he stayed up late to paint the walls red
You were at home dreaming safely in bed

(He stayed up late to paint the walls red)
And gave my voice a story to tell
(He stayed up late to paint the walls red)
And every night more tears fell
(He stayed up late to paint the walls red)
Can you hear the sound of the church bells
(He stayed up late to paint the walls red)
And gave my voice a story to tell

With the threat of a bomb hanging over your head
Walking down the street like it’s dawn of the dead
How does it feel to know that while others bled
You were at home dreaming safely in bed
With the threat of a bomb hanging over your head
Walking down the street like it’s dawn of the dead
When he stayed up late to paint the walls red
You were at home dreaming safely in bed

This Was Real Life

About Lyrics, , , ,

I wrote I Am Not Ok because a while ago, I went through something and people still ask questions about it. Like in-depth questions and I just don’t want to talk about it. I mean I’ll give a brief over view of the event but when it comes to the why’s and the how’s, those type of things take me back to that day.

I’m not traumatised by it, at least I don’t think I am, but I don’t want to have to relive it just because some people get a thrill out of hearing drama.

This was not a movie or a TV show. This was real life, it happened to me and some other people and we deserve the right to move on and live our lives without that being the most interesting thing about us.

If you find out something happened to someone you know, please wait for them to bring it up. Even if it was months ago, or years, they may not feel like answering your invasive questions.

I’m sorry if this sounds harsh, I’m just really annoyed at a select few people who wanted detailed play by plays of what went down. One was while I was getting my blood pressure tested. Do you know how hard it is to try and keep your heart rate down while talking about a pretty stressful day?

Love
Roxanne

I Am Not OK

Lyrics, , , , , , ,

The past is closing in
It’s from his gun I hide
From the blood and the screams
I’m still hiding inside
The memory of him
Walks the halls like a ghost
When will the terror end
He wasn’t a good host

I don’t wanna hear
Your fake sympathy
Are you enjoying this
There’s nothing to see
I don’t want you here
So just go away
Cause how am I doing
I am not ok

I tried to move on
You kept pulling me back
To bomb threats and violence
And those panic attacks
That day was in the past
The chaos in order
Won’t you let me forget
The cafe of slaughter

I don’t wanna hear
Your fake sympathy
Are you enjoying this
There’s nothing to see
I don’t want you here
So just go away
Cause how am I doing
I am not ok

I wish for silence
Don’t let them see
Fight back the tears
Just let me be
No please don’t ask
You don’t wanna know
I can’t fight the tears
I just let them go

I don’t wanna hear
Your fake sympathy
Are you enjoying this
There’s nothing to see
I don’t want you here
So just go away
Cause how am I doing
I am not ok

Realistic Zombie Love Story

About Lyrics, , ,

I’ve mentioned before that I love horror movies, but I also love horror TV shows like The Walking Dead. Love Bite is about zombies. You might think its vampires, but it’s not. It’s zombies.

I kind of romanticised it by making the original zombie and his prey end up together. Well, as together as two dead things without feelings can be.

In the movies, people are always romanticising things that should scare us. Vampires live off human blood, but if one tries to refrain from drinking your blood, it must be meant to be. Same goes with zombies, if ones tries not to bite you, he must love you.

In my version, he chases her and she falls, because they always fall, then he bites her. She tries to hide, because she will soon be a threat to all those left alive, but he finds her. Just as he’s about to finish the job, she dies and turns into a zombie. Then, because they are both hunting for food and they both follow the same noises or smells, it’s like they are hunting together. Aaawww!!! Right, you guys. How romantic!

A realistic love story between to zombies.

Love
Roxanne

P.S I feel like I need to add that vampires don’t sparkle in the sun. They burn. *cough* Twilight *cough*

Love Bite

Lyrics, , ,

You’re coming closer
Walking slowly to me
I see it in your eyes
I know you want me
I start running away
Like we’re playing a game
I hope I’m hard to get
Cause you’ll eat my brain

Locked away
We thought we were safe
Now the halls are alive
With the sound of screaming
And there is no escape

Just like in the movies
I tripped over
You gave me a love bite
On my left shoulder
I pushed you away
To find a place to hide
No one is safe from me
Not since the bite

Locked away
We thought we were safe
Now the halls are alive
With the sound of screaming
And there is no escape

I feel myself changing
I’m starting to turn
I’m running a fever
Skin hot enough to burn
The door crashes open
All I can do is stare
And as the lights go out
I see you standing there

Locked away
We thought we were safe
Now the halls are alive
With the sound of screaming
And there is no escape

First he wanted my brain
As I ran for cover
Ever since that love bite
Now we hunt together

Locked away
We thought we were safe
Now the halls are alive
With the sound of screaming
And there is no escape

Love
Roxanne

A Classic Love Story

About Lyrics, , ,

I love horror films. All American Psycho is kind of like my own miniature version of a horror movie. Girl meets boy. Girl falls for boy. Boy pretends to be good, hides his true nature. Girl believes boy, until he can’t hide it anymore. Boy kills girl. Classic love story, don’t you think?

This kind of thing hasn’t ever happened to me, I mean obviously since I’m not dead, but it does happen. It’s tragic really, all these girls (or boys) did was fall for the wrong person. Their only fault is being too trusting.

I write about what interests me and because of that, a lot of the time what I write is dark. It’s lyrics like these that I can picture a film clip to go with it. Good looking guy, naive looking girl. The ending, where he kills her, would have to be set at night time. Because apparently, in movie land, no one get killed during the day.

Anyway, I hope you enjoyed it.

Love
Roxanne

All American Psycho

Lyrics, , ,

I thought I found the one
I thought you were perfect
But I was wrong
You looked like James Dean
A rebel without a cause
Until you found me
I couldn’t see the hate
That was behind your smile
Until it was too late

You’re just an all American psycho
You pretend everything’s fine
You wear a suit and tie
But it’s all a lie
You’re just an all American psycho
I’ve seen your darks side
The one you tried to hide
Now I’m terrified

Pulling on my heart strings
Just like a puppeteer
That was the beginning
But then you tore me down
Grabbed a hold of my arm
And threw me to the ground
I decided to run
You’re not who I thought you were
Then I saw your gun

You’re just an all American psycho
You pretend everything’s fine
And you wear a suit and tie
But it’s all a lie
You’re just an all American psycho
I’ve seen your darks side
The one you tried to hide
Now I’m terrified

With nothing but a look
You had me on your hook
But in the end
It’s my soul you took

You’re just an all American psycho
You pretend everything’s fine
And you wear a suit and tie
But it’s all a lie
You’re just an all American psycho
I’ve seen your darks side
The one you tried to hide
Until the night I died
