The PaRRoT

it starts with
one thing i don’t know why
it doesn’t even matter how hard you try
keep that in mind i designed this rhyme
to explain in due time
all i know
time is a valuable thing
watch it fly by as the pendulum swings
watch it cound down
to the end of the day
the clock ticks life away
it’s so unreal
didn’t look out below
watch the time go right out the window
trying to hold on
but didn’t even know
wasted it all just to watch you go
i kept everything inside
end even though i tried
it all fell apart
what it meant to me
wille ventually be a memory
of a time when
i tried so hard
and got so far
but in the end
it doesn’t even matter
i had to fall
and lose it all
but in the end
it doesn’t even matter
one thing i don’t know why
doesn’t even matter how hard you try
keep that in mind
i designed this rhyme
to remind myself how i tried so hard
in spite of the way you were mocking me
acting like i was a part of your property
remembering all the times
you fought with me
i’m surprised it got so far
things aren’t the way they were before
you wouldn’t even recognize me anymore
not that you knew me back then
but it all comes back to me
in the end
i kep everything inside
and even though i tried
it all felt apart
what it meant to me
will eventually be a memory
of a time when
i put my trust in you
pushed as far as i can go
and for all this
there’s only one thing you should know…

This is not the end
This is not the beginning,
Just a voice like a riot
Rocking every revision
But you listen to the tone
And the violet rhythm
Though the words sound steady
Something empty’s within ‘em

We say Yeah!
With fists flying up in the air,
Like we’re holding onto something
Thats invisible there,
Cuz we’re living at the mercy of
The pain and the fear
Until we dead it, Forget it,
Let it all dissapear.

Waiting for the end to come
Wishing I had strength to stand
This is not what I had planned
It’s out of my control….

Flying at the speed of light
Thoughts we’re spinning in my head
So many things were left unsaid
It’s hard to let you go…

oh, I know what it takes to move on,

I know how it feels to lie,
All I wanna do
Is trade this life for something new
Holding on to what I haven’t got

Sitting in an empty room
Trying to forget the past
This was never meant to last,
I wish it wasn’t so…

oh, I know what it takes to move on,

I know how it feels to lie,
All I wanna do
Is trade this life for something new
Holding on to what I haven’t got

What was left when that fire was gone?
I thought it felt right but that right was wrong
All caught up in the eye of the storm
And trying to figure out what it’s like moving on
And i don’t even know what kind of things I’ve said
My mouth kept moving and my mind went dead
So, picking up the pieces, now where to begin?
The hardest part of ending Is starting again!

All I wanna do
Is trade this life for something new
Holding on to what i haven’t got

This is not the end
This is not the beginning,
Just a voice like a riot
Rocking every revision
But you listen to the tone
And the violet rhythm
Though the words sound steady
Something empty’s within ‘em
(Holding on to what i haven’t got)

We say Yeah!
With fists flying up in the air
Like we’re holding onto something
Thats invisible there,
Coz we’re living at the mercy of
The pain and th fear
Until we dead it, Forget it,
Let it all dissapear
(Holding on to what i haven’t got!)
