Choklit Blog #37: Some songs I wish wrote + some songs I did write

I'm sure this won't be the most interesting blog ever, but whatever. I just happened to be thinking yesterday "Wow, I wish I had written that song!" about a few different songs, and I also just happened to be writing a song yesterday and finishing another one. And so I thought I would post them on my blog. Here we go...


SONGS I WISH I WROTE:


About A Burning Fire - Blindside


I thought about fire in the sky.
I thought about fire.
I thought about love burning in Your eyes.
I thought about fire. 

It hurts that drops of fire would fall so precise,
And how everything else would lose its meaning.
What a beautiful, what a painful surprise.
There is no peace outside if there is nothing within.
It hurts, but like coming home, once dried up.
I guess this is what you get when a heart expands.

I thought about...

Love is destructive for the ego.
And Your voice is the only thing
That speaks rebelliously in this world of claiming your own.
There is no peace outside if there's nothing within.
Love is addictive for the spirit.
And Your voice whispers with a roar,
That fire rises up, refills.
Place the right King on the throne.

I thought about...

I thought about a burning fire
I thought about a loving fire
I thought about Your love
I thought about Your love
(x3)

I thought about a burning fire
I thought about a burning fire
I thought about Your love
I thought about Your love
I thought about love
I thought about love
Your love


On The Wings of Integrity - MYCHILDREN MYBRIDE


Bitter thoughts test morals and encourage bitter action.
Pride comes before a fall
Think before you speak, if you even speak at all,
Speak at all

I'll relinquish your heavy hearts of pain and sorrow,
Healing sutures.
An unguarded queen pursues, 
Oblivious of her future

I don't expect anything, we are all hopeless, but I stay confident
With willingness to take control, we'll make our time well-spent
Let it sink in, every word that I said
Let it sink in, every word you heard me say

Conquering anything and everything thrown at us
We will not be torn, our hearts will stand, they will stand as one
(Repeat)

WE WILL SOAR
My victory in sight, a steady heart will not collide with misfortune
Oh the integrity


You Are Not The End - Pillar


Another time and a place
Another slap in the face
And I don't know what it takes
To be loved by you

Another shot in the dark
And now it's falling apart
But I won't let my heart
Be broken by you
I feel for you

You can try to break me down and then
Like a phoenix I will rise again
I always do
I ALWAYS DO

I won't let you win
You are not the end of me (You are not the end)
I won't let you win
I won't let you bring me to my knees

Another simple mistake
It's Causing hearts to break
And stirring up a wake
That was left by you

I don't think I can wait
Because I'm setting the pace
I'm going to finish the race
'Cause I started to
I always do

You can try to take the rest of me
But you'll never get the best of me
I won't let go
I WON'T LET GO

I won't let you win
You are not the end of me (You are not the end!)
I won't let you win
I won't let you bring me to my knees

Until that final day
I won't walk away
You're not the end of me
Won't get the best of me

YOU ARE NOT THE END!

I won't let you win
You are not the end of me (You are not the end!)
I won't let you win
I won't let you bring me to my knees 


Red Sam - Flyleaf


Here I stand, empty hands
Wishing my wrists were bleeding
To stop the pain from the beatings
There You stood, holding me
Waiting for me to notice You

But who are You?
You are the truth
Out-screaming these lies
You are the truth
Saving my life

The warmth of Your embrace
Melts my frostbitten spirit
You speak the truth and I hear it
The words are I love you
And I have to believe in You

But who are You?
You are the truth
Out-screaming these lies
You are the truth
Saving my life

My hands are open
And You are filling them
Hands in the air
In the air, in the air, in the air

And I worship
And I worship
And I worship

You!

You are the truth
Out-screaming these lies
You are the truth
Saving my life 


Going Under - This Beautiful Republic



Doubt has never proven anything

And redemption will never come if the question lives.
Hesitation will keep you away. 

I am finally free from the burden that was slowly drowning me. 
How long until you reach the hand that rescued me?
You're going under.
You're going under.

There's uncertainty with every choice,
But faith and fear are mutually exclusive.
His assurance will bring our confidence, 
And that confidence will bring you home.

Break free, look up, reach out, hold on tight.

SONGS I DID WRITE [which are not as good]:

Showdown [inspired by the book by Ted Dekker]

You've invaded my world, you've got everyone fooled

But I've got you in my sights [I don't wanna trip]

I can see past your eyes, I can feel through your poison

And you're going down tonight

Cuz there'll be a showdown tonight

Everything's going crazy now, ever since you came around

Decked out in black to match your soul

But it seems the residents of this forsaken desert

Have fallen for the devil, thinking you're a god or angel

You've invaded my world, you've got everyone fooled

But I've got you in my sights [I'm not gonna trip]

I can see past your eyes, I can feel through your poison

And you're going down tonight

Cuz there'll be a showdown tonight

Everybody's mind is gone, you think I'm out here on my own

But you don't know the power I hold

You don't know the authority your creator has given me

And you can never guess what we've got coming for you next

You can kill, but I can destroy

You've invaded my world, you've got everyone fooled

But I've got you in my sights [I'm not gonna trip]

I can see past your eyes, I can feel though your poison

And you're going down tonight

Cuz there'll be a showdown tonight

Saint [also inspired by the book by Ted Dekker]:

Set us free

I'm trapped inside this body

I don't know who I am

My mind is gone and I don't think

I ever want it back

I long for dark deceit

Cut off from every hurt

This blackened pit of agony

Is the only place I feel secure

They call me Saint, but I don't feel like one

Death is all I've ever done

I feel like I'm lost, but they tell me I've won

Someone tell me who I've become

I'm lying at night awake

This tunnel is starting to fade

I thought I had reached my potential

But I fear I'm beginning to break

If I could remember my name

Please tell me from where I came

I'm fighting the longing, pursuing my calling

Dreaming of running away

They call me Saint, but I don't feel like one

Death is all I've ever done

And in the end I've never won

Someone tell me who I was

Confusion has strengthened my senses

I've fallen from numbing bliss

I'm blocking out lies, I've forgotten the truth

But they say that I'm more than this

I tried to kill the righteous

But I stopped myself short

If I could reach the hand that broke my will

That's all I need, I'll never ask for more

Now I look like I only write songs about books. Well, that's not true. I've written other songs. These just happen to be the two that had never been posted anywhere, and therefore must be posted on my blog. I know they're not great, sorry. :P
