Change - A Lyrical Trilogy
Change
Distraught and decayed
I’m fading away
But that is okay
It’s deserved anyway
You’re all involved
We will evolve
Everyone changes
It’s written on these pages
I am afraid
Of what’s to come
We do what’s best
For “everyone”
Like everything
It’s all distinct
You cannot change
What’s already been done
Everyone thinks
That things will be alright
But honestly
They need to open their eyes
Distraught and decayed
We’re fading away
And that’s not okay
We all need to change
Nothing Lasts Forever
“Nothing last forever”
Although that’s not how it seems
Fabricated behind all your dreams
And now you’re ready to scream
It’s building up inside you
It’s all about to show
Close your eyes and realize
All good things must go
Stagnation stays like cancer
A cure fails to come
Waiting for innovation
“Change” has made us numb
Corruption is what leads us
They say they do not need us
Stagnation begins to recede
Finally we feel freed
Nothing lasts forever
And that is how it seems
You slowly close your eyes
And find your way to sleep
Believe
Thoughts run through your mind
You’ve finally been freed
No longer stuck behind the bars
You can now roam the streets
Hypocrisy is a killer
There is finally a winner
Hypocrisy’s a defeater
We’ve all become sinners
Believe in everything that’s happening
We all end up breaking
The beginning has finally come
Take me back home
The blood flows from your skin
You know us well, what we could’ve been
This was something we couldn’t win
But we did all we know as grim
Twisting and turning
You sleep through the night
You have never seen something so bright
You can’t see the truth tonight
As it crawls beside your bed
You realize it’s in your head
You scream and cry but it comes out dead
You realize that it’s the end

About The Songs:The 3 songs written are a trilogy all connected to the same idea; Change. The first song, Change is about needing change, and not getting it. The world is corrupted and people didn’t want to think of new ideas. Nothing Lasts Forever, is the next song I wrote. This song is about people finally looking at a better future, and doing something to make the world a better place. The last song, Believe, is about change finally being brought to us. A new world that has been brought upon us. The genre of these songs is Screamo. They are fast paced and short. The lyrics are screamed with emotion and the instrumentals are softer.
