Knights Reborn

Not exactly stories. They're lyrics to some of the songs I wrote for my band Starlight Envy. Were kind of a punkrock/screamo type band.

Another Day In My Not So Dandy Life--

I understand now
You made me realize
That maybe your not worth loving
Anymore
I'm sick of waiting
Waiting for you to come around
5 months
Thats 5 months too many
You know how I feel
I just don't want to lose you
Forever
I feel like I already have
I know your having a bad day
Id just love to make you smilie
But you push me away and say im not in the mood
Well join the club
So face it
Its just another day in our not so dandy life
You can't make it better
And I can't make it worse
Ill live
The rest of my life
Pondering ways that I could have
Kept us together
I learned something today
That dreams are nothing but fairy tales
And storys with happy endings
Are storys that havn't finished yet
I can't love anyone but you
I'm unable to love anyone but you
All those bad TV Shows
Do nothing for me
I know your having a bad day
Id just love to make you smilie
But you push me away and say im not in the mood
Well join the club
So face it
Its just another day in our not so dandy life
You can't make it better
And I can't make it worse
Ill live
The rest of my life
Pondering ways that I could have
Kept us together
Lets stop punishing each other
Lets finish what we started[x4]

Enough--

When is it enough?
You won’t let it work out
And I hate it this way
When will you be happy?

Its never enough (won’t let it work out)
You won’t let it work out (and I hate this so much)
And I hate it this way (just be happy)
When will you be happy?

I tried the hardest I could
Just wanted to see you live
I guess I wasn’t good enough
Well I guess you weren’t special enough

Don’t get me wrong (tried the hardest I could)
I was part of the problem (just wanted to see you live)
Your never the problem aren’t you, you little sweet bee?
You never were the cause were you, j00 little sweet bee?

I wont force you to
Answer my calls
I left it to you
To make it alright
How about now
Will you listen
If I said I would
Fix it all
I’m sick of waiting
All I ever did was try
Note to you
Come back to me

I was always nice to you
And I’ve got something to say

I’m sick of writing songs about you
I’m sick of every song I write being about you[x2]

Don't Hesitate--

And as you walked away
I could see you screaming in your own self pity
Tear drops fell to the floor
And so did my stomach cause I knew I hurt you

At that moment
I knew that you just wanted me dead
But it was just time to say something about it
Because I never had a chance to let you know

Well its just something else...

I fear for the raindrops to come
For what I did only happened yesterday
The weather seems mock me
Cause yesterday, the sun was still shining bright

If I granted you one wish
Would it be for this never to have happened?
Or would it be for me to be buried with my pride
Because,

Dead men have no feelings
So don't hesitate to hurt mine

It was such a strong pull
That we had together
But now its over
And Its unforgivable

I never knew
That your feelings meant more than mine
And I should be careful with my opinions
And sit back and let you break my heart

Without saying anything

As you walked away
I could see your heart tearing in two
And I knew
What I had done was nothing but revenge

I don't want to spend time with your family
You and everyone around you
Are so over-rated
But even that day, the sun was still shining bright...

Dead men have no feelings
So don't hesitate to hurt mine

Ms. Spontanious--

As we get distant
Our memories begin to fade
What we had
Has almost decayed

I listen to the radio
And hear this one song we know
My memories get a little clearer
And I realize it's not worth waiting

When I think back to what ruined us
And of all the months I spent waiting for you
I realize now
That those were the months I regret

Hey, Ms. Spontaneous
Why the promise that you can't keep?
(You said you'd wait, you said you'd wait!)

Hey Ms. Spontaneous
Who are you chasing now?
(You said you'd wait, you said you'd wait!)

Now I push you away
So I don't have to deal with you
feeling sorry for yourself
Because you can't have what you can't get

Now my fingers are on the trigger
And your miles away, go figure
I'm in your bedroom crying
I guess that I'm the only one who hasn't moved on

Hey, Ms. Spontaneous
Why the promises that you can't keep?
(You said you'd wait, you said you'd wait!)

Hey Ms. Spontaneous
I'm standing right in front of you!
(You said you'd wait, you said you'd wait!)

(Screaming)(You said you'd wait, you said you'd wait!)

So you are emo, you liar.

It's not bad, better than most things I've read/listened to. Although I'm not a huge fan of the Guy and Girl relationship crap unless it involves angst or the words and music make up for it. If you're into a little rock, check out Stabbing Westward -- they broke up a while ago. They are sorta like industrial emo, if that makes sense, and they remind me a little of your lyrics. The vocalist also formed a new band after SW went their seperate ways, called The Dreaming (http://www.myspace.com/thedreaming). I bought one of their pre-recordings, a bunch of acoustic songs that they called Dreamo (The Dreaming + Emo = Dreamo) and it's quite good. I have my favorite song from the album on my xanga if you wanna listen to it (Fly Away [Acoustic]) head over to http://www.xanga.com/trixeh

i like

only the keyboard/synths come out much i expcted that the gitars did the main stream .... maybe you guys can work on that.

but very good.

virus

I agree with Virus on Ms. Spontaenous. It seems like it's in 8-but music or something I'd hear in Nintendo or Genesis. I dunno, I just don't think it fits the lyrics you have down.

not bad darf. me and wand have a band, which isnt going very far, but we have fun anyway.

i like it all, im not much into metal or hard rock, i dont like the screaming. but i always have to hear it b4 i judge. i hated all metal till wand introduced me to avenged sevenfold, now i annoy him with talking about them too much

keep at it

nice lyrics

as grimm said, we have a band, not to far bc are bassist is a lil to busy with her so called life -_-

but as a fellow song writer meself, i like your wording, how u discribe ur feelings and stuff...yeah, thats as deep as i go xD. my friend Jamie has a band that is very simiture(from what i see) to you guys.there in like a punk/scream type band, but more political than personal.

pretty sweet stuff here man, i might need to put my stuff up here...

just 1 question, rn't u a drummer? or r u the singer? or r u just a drummer who writes the songs?

keep it comin',

-Wand

I'm
Not...
EMO!!!
>:/

I just write Emo lyrics ^_^
And Tricks dont pull that crap on me lol. Stabbing Westward is one of my favorite bands. >:]

And the songs weren't recorded. They were synthesised using a program called Tabit. Its MIDI music. Were gonna record it in a few months
And the lyrics do fit the song, its just hard to tell because its in MIDI format.

And yes Wand Im a drummer who writes all the songs lol.

Tabit? wut does this do and is it possible to send over AIM?

we need like everything for our band, we have drums, guitars and amps, practically nothing else anything would help, MORE INFO PLZ!!! lol

thx

-_-, grimm i have stuff, stuff that i havent shown u yet bc we havent had practice in...>FOREVER!

i dont know bout tabit, but of coarse ive herd of MIDI

and grimm, Jacks given us allot of stuff for our practices. he hookin us up with another mic and i think hes gunna give us monitors(not watching monitors-_-, there like speakers)and i already have a GODLY mixer!

anyways, ya, pretty kewl stuff. dar, r u guys a power trio or a 4-5 piecer?

Hmm. *Counts*
6 piece actually.
Gutair>Gutair 2>Vocals>Bass>Drums>Keyboards

hey darif do you says its in midi ??

can you send some songs in midi format to me??

so i can listen and change them to mp-3 so evry one could listen.

virus

edit: or try to do it your self there are enough programs on net.

i found one already fro ya !
http://www.allformp3.com/download/getfi ... e&vid=9709

kewl, i never realy thought keyboards would fit into a screamin punk/rock type of band...inavadive!

were a power trio, but right now a duo due to our bussy bassist who claimes to have a life

Well, it's not fair to say that it does fit with the punk-rock scheme. They're probably going for their own style, which is what any musician should shoot for.

Omg.
Wand. I love you.
We need all of our songs changed to MP3s so we can put them on our MySpace.
Do you have msn?

Well our main inspirations would be Yellowcard, Taking Back Sunday, From First To Last, LostProphets, Early November.
So our band is what happens when you got someone who learned to write songs from Piano

The song on our MySpace is probably our crappiest songs. We have some really really good songs that havnt been converted to MP3 yet.

i posted oabout the converter thing...(or it was not what you meant but nvm)

my msn is infected_virus_51@hotmail.com

send me all the midi files then i can convert it

virus

grimm, i have 1 expression for you:-_-. i havent shown them 2 u bc i know u and ud want to play with them and then posibly break them -_-. and i didnt buy it, its my dads. Its a WIKED high-tech mixer that even i dont understand(surprise surprise)

hmmm....dar, i think all you need to do is tranfer you midi files to a mp3 music player(like iTunes) i have worked with MIDI b4, but not much at all. Ive hung around in allot of proessional sudios and have watched them work and how the recoord and transfer, it looks pretty complicated, but i dont tthink its that hard.

my msn is torndestiny@hotmail.com

i think u already hav it...

New songs!

Epilouge--

Hello
How are you?

I'm fine, you say
Your lying, I claim

But that doesn't mean it matters
And it doesn't say I'm flattered
You don't effect me anymore
My wounds healed, once so sore

Don't tell me what to say
I'll live my life my own way

A blank stare and a vacant expression
I don't think I'll ever end this depression

So don't you ask me if I'm OK
My feelings might as well be on public display

My realization of this is old news
So stop writing these hycoos

No one needs to know about it

-Chorus-

So go
Tell
All your friends
"I've found my one and only,"
So now I guess it's just a heart your missing
And just another ass your kissing

Wishing Upon A Star--

I fall asleep
Looking at your picture
So I can make believe
That you’re right here with me
I reach out and try to touch you
But I feel nothing but air and this city

My breathing grows cold and old
Waiting for you to make it warmer
Wishful thinking will get me nowhere close to you
Only close enough to dream some more

To miles
Far from here
Your life goes on
And there’s nothing I can do about it
Everything in the world
Just doesn’t seem to matter to me
Anymore
To miles
Split apart between us
Teasing our feelings
Pushing one more year
Wishing upon a star
That, for once, you could be here

My voice sounds barren and desperate
Constantly repeating those last words in my head
“One day you’ll be right here in my bed.”
Although I am surrounded by people
I feel so alone
I’m slowly falling away from my friends
And into our little zone

Before This Eve-- (unfinished)

Your a stranger
To me
I keep telling myself
Your just another face
Another number
Just human

You look at me
And I see nothing
I wish I could tell the truth
I don't see the light
I can't see the light
I'm not allowed

I watch the sun shine
Simutaniously
At dusk, at dawn
Both wiped, both gone

The warmth is tearing through me
I can't touch
I can't breath
If I could just see the light
Before this eve

We also have a few new songs on our myspace, and we used something called Soundfonts on our MIDI songs to make them sound like a real band.
Hope they sound a little better.
