Michael Bassey Johnson

As long as music survives, poetry will never die.. Michael Bassey Johnson

As long as music survives, poetry will never die.

No one compares to you, but there's no you, except in my dreams tonight.

I can chase you, and I can catch you,
but there is nothing I can do to make you mine.

To me you are a work of art, and I would give you my heart - that's if I had one.

Tried living in the real world instead of a shell, but I was bored before I even began.

Disappointment came to me,
and booted me,
and bruised and hurt me,
but that's how people grow up.

Don't leave it all unsaid,
somewhere in the wasteland of your head.

You're so easy to read but the book is boring me.

Carla H. Krueger

Lyrics paved my teenage route to loving words. I take those passionate mini-stories with me everywhere.

If you're not creating, you're disintegrating.

E.A. Bucchianeri

While you’re singing something romantic, I can’t get the lyrics to ‘Love and Marriage’ out of my head, and that tune always reminds me of the jingle from Jeopardy.

Fee-fi-fo-fum, you better run and hide
I smell the blood of a petty little coward

The nights were mainly made for saying things you can't say tomorrow day.

Maybe the key to finding the perfect song is simply rewriting the lyrics.

Anthony Liccione

When something seems unbalanced and out of rhythm, just a song can tune things up in

When something seems unbalanced and out of rhythm, just a song can tune things up in a moment. The power of music is therapy.

Brian Logan Dales

If the music is amazing, you can get away with anything.

I liked old time music but what i meant by that was the period from the 1930s through the 60s, nothing before and little after.
Performers like fats waller, Sinatra, billie holiday, louis armstrong, rosemary clooney, ella, sammy Davis Jr, dean martin... If the lyrics weren't stupid. Words were important.

I don't let nobody see me wishin' he was mine

You're not right in the head, and nor am I, and this is why....this is why I like you.

I still don't belong to anyone - I am mine.

Last night I dreamt that somebody loved me.
No hope, no harm; just another false alarm

It begins in the heart...and it hurts when it's true.
It only hurts because it's true.

How can anybody say they know how I feel? The only one around here who is me, is ME.

Who are you?
Are you in touch with all of your darkest fantasies?
Have you created a life for yourself where you can experience them?
I have. I am fucking crazy.
But I am free.

I was always an unusual girl.
My mother told me I had a chameleon soul, no moral compass pointing due north, no fixed personality; just an inner indecisiveness that was as wide and as wavering as the ocean.

The more I live, the more I learn. The more I learn, the more I realize, the less I know.

Hans Christian Andersen

Life is like a beautiful melody, only the lyrics are messed up.

Now this might disturb you, but I find I'm OK by myself;
and I don't need you or your benevolence to make sense.

I was wasting my time, praying for love.
For a love that never comes, from someone who does not exist.

The heart has a heart of its own.

Sing your life; any fool can think of words that rhyme.

There's so much destruction all over the world - and all you can do is complain about ME!

I see the world, it makes me puke,
But then I look at you and know,
that somewhere there's a someone who can soothe me.

I know by now you think I should have straightened myself out - Thank you, drop dead!

I'm tired again, I've tried again, and now my heart is full.
And I just can't explain...so I won't even try to.

And make no mistake, my friend, your pointless life will end; but before you go, can you look at the truth?

He not busy being born is busy dying.

Life is a journey, not a destination; there are no mistakes, just chances we've taken.

As the smoke clears,
I awaken,
And untangle you from me.
Would it make you feel better
To watch me, while I bleed?
All my windows still are broken,
But I'm standing on my feet.

Skies are crying,
I am watching,
Catching teardrops in my hands.
Only silence, as it's ending,
Like we never had a chance.
Do you have to make me feel
Like there's nothing left of me?

But I know just what it feels like to have a voice in the back of my head, like a face that I hold inside, face that awakes when I close my eyes, face that watches everytime I lie, face that laughs everytime I fall. (It watches EVERYTHING) ... But the face inside is hearing me, right beneath my skin.

Still haunted by the love, light and darkness we shared. encumbered to smile and breathing becomes an art; when you don’t fucking feel anything.

My task is set before me, girl
My mission clear and true
There’ll be black knights and dragons, girl
But I will always come for you…

Music is the secret language that effortlessly connects our bodies, our minds, and our souls. I’m addicted to the lyrics - they speak to me in a way only he and I will understand. So, until it’s safe to speak my mind, I’ll speak to him through lyrics. I’m addicted to him. He’s a song I never want to end.

I find peace when I'm confused, I find hope when I'm let down, not in me but in you.

Matsushita Yuya

It isn't 'Too late now', shouldn't it be 'From now on'?
That is the password that will take away the regret.

My melon soul
Crushed by your Gallagher of apathy

Stephen Sondheim

One difference between poetry and lyrics is that lyrics sort of fade into the background. They fade on the page and live on the stage when set to music.

God, come down, if you're really there -
Well, you're the one who claims to care!

Michael Bassey Johnson

Music replays the past memories, awaken our forgotten worlds and make our minds travel.

With no reason to hide these words I feel, and no reason to talk about the books I read, but still, I do.

You can plan on a change in the weather and time, but I never planned on you changing you mind.

Don't be afraid of the dark
Look inside
Grab your heart
Let it shine

If it's dark outside
Shine your light

If you're looking to get silly, you better go back to from where you came. because the cops don't need you and man they expect the same.

Jeffrey Eugenides

Virgin suicide
What was that she cried?
No use in stayin'
On this holocaust ride
She gave me her cherry
She's my virgin suicide

a foreign affair juxtaposed with a stateside
and domestically approved romantic fancy
is mysteriously attractive due to circumstances knowing
it will only be parlayed into a memory

Millions cheer the warrior
spilling blood across the ring
while the one who stands for peace
is ridiculed and shamed.
Must hearts forever suffer
from ignorance and greed?
Can bombs heal our souls
or set our spirits free?

Cause when I hear your name I can not stop cheesing
I love you so much that my heart stops beating when you're leaving
And I'm grieving and my heart starts bleeding
Life without you has no goddamn meaning

And it was dark
So dark at night
And we held on to each other
Like brother to brother
We promised our mothers we'd write
And we would all go down together

It might feel like the end of the world-
but it's the beginning of your art.

Diana Rose Morcilla

Your life is a movie. You are the main character. You say your scripts and act to your lines. Of course you do your lines in each scene. There is a hidden camera and a director who you can ask for help anytime up above.

Take all of your wasted honor
Every little past frustration
Take all of your so-called problems,
Better put 'em in quotations

You really fucked me up this time for good, even though you didn't mean to

I am not a monster, I am just a man.

I'll let you be in my dreams if I can be in yours

The sky is full of dreams, but you don't know how to fly.

Sometimes we focus on the lyrics too much and forget to dance to the music.

Sometimes we focus too much on the lyrics that we forget to dance to the music. And sometimes we dance to the music and don't listen to the lyrics. Let the rhythm guide you. Let the lyrics inspire you.

You can't take the sky from me.

Trevor D. Richardson

When did a free country start to mean free enterprise? Who sold Democracy out for a golden calf we got to idolize?

Am I the reason you breathe
Or am I the reason you cry?

So, you can make me come, that doesn't make you Jesus.

Three Days Grace

If you feel so empty
So used up, so let down
If you feel so angry
So ripped off so stepped on
You're not the only one
Refusing to back down
You're not the only one
So get up

Charlotte Eriksson

I just want to be someone, to mean something to anyone…

Red Jumpsuit Apparatus

I will never let you fall
I'll stand up with you forever
I'll be there for you through it all
Even if saving you sends me to heaven

We throw stones though we live in glass houses,
We talk shit like its a cross to bare.
You're only relevant 'til you get older.
Keep your friends close, and your enemies closer

I am human and I need to be loved,
just like everybody else does.

Rejection is one thing - but rejection from a fool is cruel.

Oh, I can't help quoting you, because everything that you said rings true.

Can you squeeze me
into an empty page of your diary
and psychologically save me?

I'd love to...but only with you.

I don't mind if you forget me.
Having learned my lesson,
I never left an impression on anyone.

Don't care what people say
Just follow your own way
Don't give up and use the chance
To return to innocence.

That's not the beginning of the end
That's the return to yourself
The return to innocence.

I am hated for loving.
I am haunted for wanting.

The more you ignore me, the closer I get; you're wasting your time.

Close your eyes, and think of someone you physically admire, and let me kiss you.

Again, I lay awake, and I cried because of waste.

With the world's fate resting on your shoulder - you're gonna need someone on your side.
You can't do it by yourself any longer - you're gonna need someone on your side.

I couldn't resist him, his eyes were like yours, his hair was exactly the shade of brown.

He's just not as tall, but I couldn't tell, it was dark and I was lying down.

My love, wherever you are - whatever you are - don't lose faith. I know it's gonna happen someday to you.

It's so shameful of me: I like you.

You don't like me, but you love me; either way, you're wrong.

Work It Harder Make It Better
Do It Faster, Makes Us stronger
More Than Ever Hour After
Our Work Is Never Over
-Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger, lyrics and music by Daft Punk

I am the son and the heir of a shyness that is criminally vulgar.

It was in love I was created, and in love is how I hope I die

I have my books
And my poetry to protect me;
I am shielded in my armor,
Hiding in my room, safe within my womb.
I touch no one and no one touches me.
I am a rock,
I am an island.

You made me feel less alone;
you made me feel not quite so
deformed, uninformed and hunchbacked.

I was wasting my life, always thinking about myself.

Because you wear a uniform, a smelly uniform...and so you think you can be rude to me.

You know I love to spend my mornings, like sunlight dancing on your skin

These tears I'm wailing,
I spill not without reason.
Remove them, my dearest love.
Take me to the place I've been dreaming of,
where the grotesquely lonely
meet the grotesquely lonely
and they whisper,
just very softly,
Please be mine, Dearest Love.

This world, I am afraid, is designed for crashing bores.
