Lyrics from me

These are a couple of lyrics I've written so far. I'll release the poems I've written later.

I Have Emotions

Let your anger flow
Straight from your heart, through the keyboard to the page
Just write it out
So that everyone may know how you feel

So I do, and here it is
My thoughts exactly, well maybe not
I tried telling you it, but you didn’t listen
No-one ever listens to me

I can cope with change, despite your protestations
I have emotions, despite your protestations
I can cope on my own; you don’t need to hold me now
I don’t need your acceptance, yet I request it

I’m old enough now, I’ve seen the truth
I don’t need your hand anymore
I can make my own decisions; you don’t need to make them for me
They affect me, so let me decide

There are signs that times are changing
Still, the wind changes slowly
While it does, I still suffer
I want to spread my sail and catch the winds of change

[Fading away] I can cope with change, despite your protestations
I have emotions, despite your protestations
I can cope on my own; you don’t need to hold me now
I don’t need your acceptance, yet I request it

I can cope with change, despite your protestations
I have emotions, despite your protestations
I can cope on my own; you don’t need to hold me now
I don’t need your acceptance, yet I request it

I can cope with change, despite your protestations
I have emotions, despite your protestations
I can cope on my own; you don’t need to hold me now
I don’t need your acceptance, yet I request it [/fading away]

What's up with Topia?

Everything's dying here
Everyone's lying here
Nothing is new here
Why can't anyone see?

This place is driving me insane
Everything here is the same
Monotonous, boring, it's acting like a drain
I'm losing it all, losing it all...

Trying to make you see
Trying to make you listen to me
You're so deadened to it, you don't feel it
You're trying to make me fit it

This place is driving me insane
Everything here is the same
Monotonous, boring, it's acting like a drain
I'm losing it all, losing it all...

An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind
But the child of the blind will not be blind themselves
This whole society needs a cornea transplant
To give you back your sight, then maybe you will see

This place is driving me insane
Everything here is the same
Monotonous, boring, it's acting like a drain
I'm losing it all, losing it all...

This place is driving me insane
Everything here is the same
Monotonous, boring, it's acting like a drain
I'm losing it all, losing it all...

The title for 'What's up with Topia?' was originally 'Whats up with this place?', but I decided Topia - Latin (or was it Greek?) for place - sounded better. There are no prizes available for getting the meaning of 'I Have Emotions'.

I haven't come up with a melody for What's Up With Topia? yet, but I Have Emotions sounds similiar to a Linkin Park song.
