But, Honestly by ~shadowdragonx2:iconshadowdragonx2:

Categories Literature > Prose > Fiction > Perspectives




Where are you off to with that head of yours?
In my life I came to a fork in the path.

Is there somewhere you should be?
I took one path thinking somehow, someday,

Was it something that I said the time I held you down
I'd come back to this place and choose the other way.

And told you it's not you it's only me?
Now I know I can't go back there, and I regret my decisions.

Maybe
Decisions that I never could choose the other options to anyway


Don't take what I don't need
(Give me back my peace of mind)
I sit here tonight, Drinking Tea, eating toast.

Don't say what I don't mean
(Give my back my precious time)
Working hard, hardly working, assignments due.

No way you'll silence me
And I can't help but wonder, can't help but drift

You'll see
What could be if I chose that other way


What you up to now your mirror's gone?
I can't keep up this facade, I can't keep up my image

Is there someone you should be?
I can't help but wonder what society thinks of me

Did you think I was just fooling 'round with you?
In the end I don't know how to go on.


But honestly
I have no way out of this

But honestly
No-one I want to help me

But honestly
No-one I want to understand


Don't take what I don't need
(Give me back my peace of mind)
I feel that I don't want anyone to see

Don't say what I don't mean
(Give me back my precious time)
Feel, touch or share with me, this feeling

No way you'll silence me
(Give me back my peace and quiet)
Welling up, and trying to burst from within

Nowhere to hide from me
Anger, Sadness, hatred, Irratation.

You'll see
It's all gonna come out one day


And tonight I thank the stars
And I suppose I can be thankful for the fact

As I count my lucky scars
That amongst so many people, I can feel lucky

For everything you've given me
'cause maybe out there there's someone for me


And all the words I gave to you
Someone who can change the way I feel

Something borrowed, something blue
Someone to whom I can be myself,

If you want them back
and Strip of my mask of Irony

I'll give it to you
and throw it into the trash

Give it to you [15x]
And one more thing that I gave to you [8x]

Author's Comments

This has nothing to do with the DOA story, other than the fact that it uses the same technique of using the lyrics from a reasonably well known song to Bring out some more meaning.

Lyrics are in Italics, and are copyright to Foo Fighters and associated production company.

Image is a carefully timed screen-cap I made in a particle engine called Particle toy, It seemed appropriate in a way.

Thoughts/Comments? is it cool? or weird?
