So I put all of the lyrics I've typed on computer in one folder, and realized that I had 109. Until I wrote this: my 110th! >D

Anyway, this is one of the songs I wrote (possibly for my band), so give me your comments and such, please? Mmkay, thanks. Enjoy!


Suffocating Embrace
By Garrett Luttrell


Mother of light, shine your beam at me one last time.
Satisfactory, but still doubting what it could’ve been,
Still awaiting the dawn, still left to suffocate without a sun.
Memories coming back to my head,
Tremor in my skin,
My bones cut like a thread.
Endless miseries impounding me in my own temple,
Fluttering past me, there goes the hope.

I feel like I’m trapped in my own suffocating embrace,
I steal away into the night just to escape.
I try to sacrifice something to gain some leeway,
But I can’t succeed.

The last resort of a worn-out lifetime,
The dreary thoughts come back to me.
A blanket of blue and black thrown over my eyes,
Not soft, not satin, leaves an unwanted scratch.
I wrap myself up in something foreign,
And expect to escape.
But when I try I fail,
I cannot succeed.

I feel like I’m trapped in my own suffocating embrace,
I steal away into the night just to escape.
I try to sacrifice something to gain some leeway,
But I can’t succeed.

I slam the door on my life, just too dark; too mother****ing dark to endure.
I tear the skin away from my face to see if I can still feel, just to make sure.
Lungs that are caving in, eyes gouged out by my own fingers,
Wrap my arms around myself
To keep it all away.

I feel like I’m trapped in my own suffocating embrace,
I steal away into the night just to escape.
I try to sacrifice something to gain some leeway,
But I can’t succeed.

I **** the darkness and my children are the shadows that choke me;
I hate them with a passion, but love them dearly.
I sit my ass on that unseen chair, waiting for it to collapse,
Waiting in fear.
I play games with myself, maybe if I count to ten it’ll go away.
The sad part is: I do this each ****ing day!

Oh –
I feel like I’m trapped in my own suffocating embrace,
I steal away into the night just to escape.
I try to sacrifice something to gain some leeway,
But I can’t succeed.
Oh – shit: white eyes, no more love for this; trapped inside.
Oh – no: stuck this way, forever, forever, forever.

Just like a fading dream, left inside my momentary life, dazing.
Adjusted to the bright light, but darkness surrounds me.
Blind…blind…suffocating.

I hold the candle out in front of me. The flame flickers but I don’t see.
Fruitless efforts, I embrace my self; suffocating.
No one to hold me, no one to care.
So here I sit, in my own suffocating embrace,
Without a ****ing care.
No one to rely on, no memories of them.
They were stolen from me,
Way back then.

That was amazing. -clap- n.n I liiiiked it lots! Nice work! Keep it up!

I agree with arr. Very nice.

Still, though, I've always found the style of your poetry more to my taste than that of your songs.

Thanks for the comments, arr and pd! Glad you enjoyed it.

I finally got around to reading this, and I have to say I liked the lyrics, but it is just not the same without even knowing the music that goes with it.

That's the downside to all of Sephyr's song posts. That's why we must all buy his band's CD's in the fuure.
By the way, great lyrics. I also applaud: *claps*

Nah, Sephyr's the nice kind of guy to support his own. We'll get them free. And advanced. Right?
