send for the gallows, it's time to lay down the law
we'll hang this architect for all he's worth
overlooking every last bridge he built
his handywork
it might as well have been the rope around his neck
he never saw much beauty in this city
and as blank eyes woke up once more
he promised himself he would burn it all down
dance in the firelight, there is beauty in destruction
there is beauty in this naked flame
is it amongst every last fist we throw
every word etched in stone and flesh
is our human nature flawed?
cause we fight for our dreams and when we get there we just want that little bit more
desperation sets fire to these very bottles we drink from
and then tosses them our way
but you can bet they remember his name
live by whatever you have, but you will die by the blade
whether it be broken glass spilled of your own accord
or knife thrust straight into your chest
when we are six feet under we are all the same
overdressed for decay
a rock lies above me with some half hearted words
and etched above lies my name
in a few more years it'll be worthless too
nobody ever looked out for me
so when i fall down for the very last time
i'm taking my acheivements with me
such disrespect for what i've done and what i've been through
shows exactly what we have become
darwin was right, we fight for survival, but then die tired
nobody ever looked out for me
mr hangman, take it away
i gave you my life story, now lets bring it to an end

i think you can not enjoy the subject matter but still enjoy the writing. i like the parts that you added but that first verse is still my favourite. the first lines especially for some reason.
people are easily frightened. i thought you would've learned that by now.
i like it.
and i respect you for it.
i think you'd be surprised how much is like it.
lack of + lack of + this = you know what.
but this is good. you're an amazing writer. wow. i wish i could write like this...
assume what you want andy.
sorry
why are you saying sorry?
(it's not what you do)
post something new my emo friend. something like anything at all. i just said like in an odd way, and don't want to change it.
