Even though...
Joey McNamara Feb 2015
Even though it's not the end,
It is.
Even though it's not all over,
It is.
Even though you are a friend,
Even now I'm getting sober,
It's over.

Lost
Joey McNamara Feb 2015
Lost
There is no left or right
Lost
If there is, its not in sight

I'm Lost
The only way is down
There is no way up
I'm Lost

Lost
Its nothing, nothing at all
Lost
Its nothing, nothing understandable

I'm lost
The words won't come out
They're stuck in the mouth
I'm lost

Lost
With a steady hand there could be more
Lost
But the steady hand is shaking

I'm lost
The tears don't come anymore
Nothing does, not even a glisten
I'm lost

Lost
A smile seems so easy
Lost
But it's asking the impossible

I'm lost
Alone and in silence
Unsure and disgraced
I'm lost

Lost
Outside? What is this?
Lost
Inside is all there is

I'm lost
A distraction seems necessary
But innevitably futile
I'm lost
Big words make things better
But the little ones hurt
I'm lost
No more, it's becoming unbearable
This can't Be the end
I'm lost

The Hardest Thing...
Joey McNamara Apr 2014
You don't know
What I know
So say what you will

If you saw
What I've seen
You might change your mind

The hardest thing
In this world
Is to live in it

We lie here
Carrying on
As if it was nothing

But deep inside
You must know
That it's ok to feel dark

The hardest thing
In this world
Is to live in it

So carry on
As before
And feel what you want

We all see
Colours and shades
It's not black and white

The hardest thing
In this world
Is to live in it

It's okay
To break down
We'll all get along

But stay strong
And stay close
It's not over yet

The hardest thing
In this world
Is to live in it

Fear
Joey McNamara Dec 2013
While I'm here
While I can see
With the world surrounding
Me as I'm **free


The weight
Is becoming too much
The air
Is becoming too thin
As I stare
It's your face I see
Growing
Growing in me

Climbing
Forever climbing
'Till we get to the top
I can feel
All the brids in the air
And it's getting
It's getting too much

Dramtic as it is
It's still not enough
Look at me
Stare at me
Tell me I'm dead

YOU CAN'T SEE WHAT I SEE
YOU CAN'T FEEL WHAT'S INSIDE
YOU CAN TRY TO SAVE ME
BUT YOU'LL NEVER SUCCEED


Don't
Don't open the door
On the other side
Is more than you bargained for
Just leave me
Alone in this field
This entire melencholy
Is the next harvest's yield

JUST GO
Leave me alone
But please leave the door
Slightly ajar
Although the darkness is welcoming
All though it's embrace is tight
I still need the comfort
Of soft morning's light

Back Through The Cracks
Joey McNamara Nov 2013
As the day gets darker, so does the mind.
Slipping and tumbling, falling behind.
“Take one of these, one every day.
And tell those bad niggling feelings, they’re going to pay.”
“So with a snap and a crack, my life will be back?”
“But yes of course, that’s what I propose!
But come back here next month, and I’ll up the dose.”

Numb
Joey McNamara Oct 2013
Like a moth to a flame
Again and again
Incoming thoughts
I'm crosses and noughts
Feelings emotions and other such things
Flying around, the emptiness rings
Screaming at me, telling me to feel
Though none of it really, ever seems real
I want it to stop but I can only hit pause
In a black hole of nothing and trapped in it's jaws
Pulling me down when I want to soar
Keeping me trapped on the floor
Neglegted by all and treated by none
The ego, my feelings and more are all gone
And I'm left in the dark with nothing to say
But I need to get up, need to start the day
Oct 2013 · 567
The Little Man
Joey McNamara Oct 2013
You wake up in the morning
Have tea that tastes appalling
You sit down for a plan
And get trapped by little man
You say, what the hell, get off of me!
Please, you're sitting on me, let me free!
But the man has a plan, involving a van
And little do you know it's already began!
He's tied you up, dragging you now
Then you're in the van and you don't know how
He takes you to his house, attacks you with an axe
Takes off your ears, adds a bit more, you have two backs!
You want him to stop, then he goes to bed
What do you care though? You're dead!
Joey McNamara Sep 2013
Vibrations
Sense the tiger
Louder and louder
Screaming and screaming
Pouncing apon the tree
Loudly screaming
So gleefully
Vibrations

Tree isn't sure
The tiger is right
Snake still had
The hardest bite
If only it were true
If only it were right
That the fur of the lion
Would jump back with fright

The tree set about
Telling his tale
Of lions and tigers
And the wind's harsh gale
Jamming and painting
Fresh air burning high
Power
Power in his eyes

Signs are showing
Which way he's going
But he's not sure
If this door
Is true
Or if it is
Quite simply put
A wolf

Wolves are so quiet
Playing
In the clouds
But the mist of that height
Cleverly shrouds
The wolf's true
Intentions
With the snakes new
Vibrations

Wolf pounces high
And swallows the snake
Quickly and violently
The ground starts to shake
The tree can't believe
He's looking at her
The lion standing there
With a new coat of fur

Tiger bounce over
Tiger please leave
Don't disturb the peace
Of the lions and the trees
The moon now realise
The tale, oh so quaint
The stars now realise
It's time now to paint
Joey McNamara Sep 2013
Gently pulsating
To the rhythm
Feet are tapping
To the beat
But the wolf will never
Admit defeat

The wolf loves
Loves the clouds
Fluffy, bouncing
Caring, exciting
He can feel it
Getting near
He can feel it
Losing cheer

Sleeping

To the highest peak
The wolf will sneak
The cloud it knows
How the feeling grows
And loses touch
In the shadow of the rose

Did he hear himself thinking?
Did the floor stop growing?
Or did the cloud lose it's shape?
The wolf it seems, is losing touch
As the cloud, the cloud sreams ****

The wolf loves, loves the clouds
Fluffy, bouncing
Caring, exciting
But the cloud
Doesn't
Love him back

Sleeping

To the highest peak
The wolf will sneak
The cloud it knows
How the feeling grows
And loses touch
In the shadow
Joey McNamara Sep 2013
Is he burning
Or is he sleeping
The tree is gently
Weeping
For the lion
Comes back
Today

It was painted
In the stars
The lion and the tree
Never together
Never forever
Broken by
The wind

The lion won't help
The tree won't breathe
For the softness
Has turned to scale
The treeStill sings
By his lake
But the lion
Is now
A snake

Slippery comfort
He starts to hiss
The tree doesn't
Understand
This new found bliss
Lots of sharpness
Lots of noise
The snake now
Understands
The softness
Of a lion

Tiger moving onward
In
Snake moving backward
Out
Tree singing by the lake
Paddling in water
Shallow
Not for the heart
Not for her
Hot for the softness
Of tiger's fur

It was painted
In the stars
The tiger and
The tree
Together forever
Perfect harmony
Joey McNamara Sep 2013
The moon sang tonight
And the stars
They whispered, away their sorrow
Yet the tree
Still staggers in the distance
Waiting
For the wind
To breathe

But the tree
Doesn't know
His own name
And he doesn't understand
Why he's here
So the lion
Helps him see
His true face

So the lion
Understands what
Is happening
Though not the softness
Of her fur
The moon
Still sings it's sweet sorrow
The stars are too far gone to care

The tigers
Cannot see
The lion
And the tree
Together in perfect
Harmony
But the grass
Welcomes with it's hands

Banging and crashing
Too sharp, too loud
Moons cannot read
And stars cannot paint
But the tree
Ceases to exist
For the wind
Has blown away the lion

The Hour
Joey McNamara Sep 2013
The hour
Is upon us all
The hour
Has come
The hour
Is upon you
The hour
Is judging you
The hour
Is ending now
The hour
Has examined you
The hour
Finds you a lie
The hour
Sentences you now
The hour
Gives you life
The hour
Will be back again
The hour
Is all the same
Joey McNamara Sep 2013
I asked
For an end to this
I wished
For a way out
I cried
For the world
To crash down on me

I begged
For no friends to keep
I whispered
For no heart to love
I called
For the world
To crash down on me

I gasped
For less air to breathe
I Yelled
For less joy to see
I roared
For the world
To crash down on me

I wept
For nothing would work
I howled
For I was not alone
I screamed
For the would
Would not crash down on me

Every Day
Joey McNamara Sep 2013
Every day I feel so alive
Every day I die
Every day I get so cold
Every day I fry
Every day I sit so still
Every day I lie
Every day I fall in line
Every day I defy
Every day I state so clear
Every day I imply
Every day I Stand alone
Every day I ally
Every day I laugh so loud
Every day I sigh
Every day the end is nigh
So every day I cry

The Mystery of the Heart
Joey McNamara Sep 2013
I have trekked across a desert
I have sailed the seven seas
I have seen so many wonders
To bring me to my knees
But none of it really matters
When you're all alone
Because seeing all these wonders
Is nothing on your own

Sharing these experiences
With someone that you love
Be it friend, brother or lover
Is like a gift sent from above
The pyrimids seem so much bigger
And the oceans seem more vast
Being with that special someone
It makes those moments last

When you're with that special someone
Simply drinking a cup of tea
Can be so incredible
Like hearing a symphony
Looking for that someone
Is only the very start
In life's greatest adventure
The mystery of the heart
For K&H

With these I judge...
Joey McNamara Jun 2013
Little black gems
Amongst a rich kingdom of teal
The gold, tearing to their escape
Caught in the field
Frozen in their attemt to abscond
Frozen in permanence
Forever staring

Revolution
Joey McNamara Mar 2013
You wanted to build
Build up a wall
You wanted to start
Start a revolution
You wanted to fly
Fly above the rest
You wanted to follow
Follow nobody
Yet here you stand
Standing in line
For the revolution

You wanted to lead
Lead the lot
You wanted to speak
Speak to their hearts
You wanted to inspire
Inspire the common man
You wanted to lay
Lay down the law
Yet here you stand
Standing in line
For the revolution

You wanted to gain
Gain their trust
You wanted to inflict
Inflict whats deserved
You wanted to trust
Trust all of your friends
You wanted to look
Look down and smile
Yet here you stand
Standing in line
For the revolution

You never wanted to fall
Fall from grace
You never wanted to escape
Escape from your fate
You never wanted to cry
Cry for the lost
You never wanted to drink
Drink on your own
And here you run
Running away
From the revolution

You never wanted to fail
Fail them all
You never wanted to scream
Scream to the deaf
You never wanted to fade
Fade away
You never wanted to die
Die like the rest
So here you lie
Lying alone
With no revolution

Moving On
Joey McNamara Nov 2011
So you think it will help you
Finding that new style?
You know for a fact
That it doesn't change a thing
You will always wonder
What would of happened
If you'd of stayed with me

So when you close your eyes
Is it my face that you see?
Because when I close mine
It's not you staring back at me
Going back to square one
It's time I'm moving on

Do you ever stop
And think, what's the point?
Do you stare at those old pictures
And have them shaking in your hand
I've got past that now
It's about time you did too

Do you read back our conversations
Reminisce our past contemplations
Whether it was policies or feelings
That really move the nations
Or if it is music or poetry
That really moves the heart

I don't get that feeling
When I walk past your house
You used to make me smile
Now you barely twitch my mouth
Yeah, it's true I have my doubts
But It's sanity that shouts...

No more

So when you close your eyes
Is it my face that you see?
Because when I close mine
It's not you staring back at me
Going back to square one
It's time I'm moving on

Destiny
Joey McNamara Nov 2011
Look in the mirror
You say you're nothing
Look what you've got
You've got it all

So stop that thinking
And stop that drinking
That's not the cure
It's not your future
It's locked in certainty
That's not your destiny

Are you sitting on your own?
Are there tears?
Or are you smiling?
Because it's not so bad

So stop that thinking
And stop that drinking
That's not the cure
It's not your future
It's locked in certainty
That's not your destiny

Soft and slowly
It's how it happens
But that's never the end
They're still your friend

So stop that thinking
And stop that drinking
That's not the cure
It's not your future
It's locked in certainty
That's not your destiny

Look in the mirror
You say you're nothing
But that's never the end
They're still your friend
Are you smiling?
Because it's not so bad

So stop that thinking
And stop that drinking
That's not the cure
It's not your future
It's locked in certainty
That's not your destiny

Have you ever loved someone who didn't love you back?
Have you ever loved someone who fell through the crack?
Have you ever loved someone too drunk to see?
Have you ever loved someone like... me?

My blank wall is white just to fit your name
My disc is scratched cos it played your game
my minds all ******* cos you're in my life
The only thing left is to pull out the knife

Slow down girl, you move too fast
It's just a kiss, make it last
Close your eyes, its in the past
Slow down girl, you move to fast

Don't let it bother you, let it all go
Move soft and gently, go with the flow
Your a pernament thought in my head
Your a space waiting in my bed

Slow down girl, you move too fast
It's just a kiss, make it last
Close your eyes, its in the past
Slow down girl, you move to fast

I just can't take it, it's got too much
I need to know, if I can touch
I'ts too late now, to start that game
I just can't put a face to that name

Slow down girl, you move too fast
It's just a kiss, make it last
Close your eyes, its in the past
Slow down girl, you move to fast

Nothings quite the same now
When i say your name out loud
I'm falling back, into the dark
Becoming one of the crowd
I'm always feeling lonely
But i'm never alone
Got nobody to love me
No house to call a home

Slow down girl, you move too fast
It's just a kiss, make it last
Close your eyes, its in the past
Slow down girl, you move to fast

This is not a race
Some filth disgrace
This is love so let it show
Come on little girl and take it slow

Slow down girl, you move too fast
It's just a kiss, make it last
Close your eyes, its in the past
Slow down girl, you move to fast
Slow down girl, you move to fast

So Far
Joey McNamara Aug 2010
The feelings dead, just shout it out now
The feelings dead, just admit it, be proud
Open the doors, look inside, into our lives
Tell me whats there, is it cold and empty?

I've been standing up for so long
I've been sitting down for so long
I've been stuck right here for so long
Have you felt the same for so long?
It's all thats here, so far, so far

When I see a star, I think of times gone by
It felt so real, It felt so high
But you sink, sink, sink into the night
Never thinking to cast some light

I've been standing up for so long
I've been sitting down for so long
I've been stuck right here for so long
Have you felt the same for so long?
It's all thats here, so far, so far

When you struggle and when you twirl
I will always be here for you girl
I'll never let you fall, never let you fall
If you never forget, never forger me at all

I've been standing up for so long
I've been sitting down for so long
I've been stuck right here for so long
Have you felt the same for so long?
It's all thats here, so far, so far

Is there a happily ever after?
is there a world filled with laughter?
Or are our lives filled with hate
All our feelings left way too late

I've been standing up for so long
I've been sitting down for so long
I've been stuck right here for so long
Have you felt the same for so long?
It's all thats here, so far, so far

Oh,I've been standing up for so long
I've been sitting down for so long
I've been stuck right here for so long
Have you felt the same for so long?
It's all thats here, so far, so far
So far

Fall Through The Cracks
Joey McNamara Aug 2010
Looks of an angel, why did she sink to this?
Let him take you home, let him take you
Crack open those shutters and welcome the dawn
For the shadow of the rose has no thorn
Looks of an angel, why did she sink to this?
She falls through the cracks, right through the cracks

Body of beauty, how did she come to this?
Just let him love you, just let him love you
Open those windows and breathe the fresh air
The holes in your life, are starting to tear
Body of beauty, how did she come to this?
She falls through the cracks, right though the cracks

Mind of a madman, how can he live like this?
Just let her take you home, let her take you
Open your heart, spring open your mind
Feelings of love, once left behind
Mind of a madman, how can he live like this?
He falls through the cracks, right through the cracks

Soul of a sinner, how can he think like this?
Just let her love you, just let her love you
Set her down in your cold heart
Set her down, right from the start
Soul of a sinner, how can he think like this?
He falls through the cracks, right through the cracks

Together forever, how can they be like this?
Just let them go home, Just let them go
Nobody's perfect, breathe the free air
Nobody's perfect, don't stop or stare
Tother forever, how can they be like this?
They fall through the cracks, right through the cracks

You're falling through, the cracks
You're falling through, the cracks
You're falling, falling, falling through the cracks
So let me fall with you
Let me, fall, with you
Fall, with you
With you
You

Stick around to watch the show
Lots to see and lots to know
Pick it up, give it a slide
Stick around for the ride

How were you to know?
You were love's last show
How were you to know?
You were the last to go

Sugarpuffs and dandelion leaves
As one person loves another person greaves
Rip it and tear it into a thousand pieces
Grant one's life another deceases

I've got that feeling again
The one I get when it rains
It comes and it goes again and again
Cease that life and stop your shame

It was an idea, I think it's working
Everybody's smiling but you're still smirking
How you gunna do it? Yeah how you gunna do it?
Keep it together and never split
Keep it together and never split
Keep it together and never split, yeah!

Don't top yourself, don't you give up
All your hard work, it's just not enough
I'm not gunna stick around to help you
So you're gunna have to help yourself

Of a sugarpuff and a dandelion
Getting a love to call my own
Of a dandelion and a sufarpuff
Getting it ups just not enough

How am I gunna make you see?
You can't live your life for free
Can't you see this aint no way to be
You've been barking up the wrong tree

It was an idea, I think it's working
Everybody's smiling but you're still smirking
How you gunna do it? Yeah how you gunna do it?

Your words mean nothing, nothing to me
Lay down your weapons and just, let it be
This isn't worth trying, why can't you see?
Lay down your body and just, let it all free

Who are you to say those words?
All I want to do is fly, fly with the birds
And yes I know, it's not realistic
At least I can feel optimistic
That this love can work, can work, can work
Let the smiles begin and lay off that smirk
Cos all I want to do is fly, fly with the birds

For one last time let’s feel this
Let yourself fall into the abyss
Let yourself fall into the bliss
And feel loves strong blind kiss

Who are you to say those words?
All I want to do is fly, fly with the birds
And yes I know, it's not realistic
At least I can feel optimistic
That this love can work, can work, can work
Let the smiles begin and lay off that smirk
Cos all I want to do is fly, fly with the birds

Every time we do this I fall to pieces
I can't help how my feeling increases
When I look at you everything ceases
Please grant me of your loves releases

Who are you to say those words?
All I want to do is fly, fly with the birds
And yes I know, it's not realistic
At least I can feel optimistic
That this love can work, can work, can work

The Way We Are

I sense a storm, I hear the liar
I see the smoke, getting higher and higher
And there aint no smoke, without a fire
It's the sign of words set to inspire

I wanna feel your love and affection
Without any of this **** complexion
It's just the way we are
I just wanna feel your love and affection
Without any of this **** **** complexion
It's just the way we are

Friends of friends let out their sigh
As danger reaches all time high
Can't we all just say our lie
Without thinking about the reasons why

I wanna feel your love and affection
Without any of this **** complexion
It's just the way we are
I just wanna feel your love and affection
Without any of this **** **** complexion
It's just the way we are

Tell me where you're going, tell me where you've ben
Tell me what you've done and tell me what you've seen
What's with all the questions, let me live my life
Can't this just happen without the hurtfull strife

I wanna feel your love and affection
Without any of this **** complexion
It's just the way we are
I just wanna feel your love and affection
Without any of this **** **** complexion
It's just the way we are

I just wanna get close to you, You know you wannna too
Keeping this together, words are relationship glue
Every word that's being said, every word is true
But all this truth is as much a lie as the pig that flew

I wanna feel your love and affection
Without any of this **** complexion
It's just the way we are
I just wanna feel your love and affection
Without any of this **** **** complexion
It's just the way we are

Rock 'N' Roll Soul
Joey McNamara Aug 2010
She says she wants to watch the stars shoot
Drinking liquer and smoking to boot
She's the queen of rock and roll
Sign of life beyond control

Cos she, she, she, she, she's
Got a rock 'n' roll soul
When the worlds still buzzing
She's still glowing
Cos she, she, she, she she's
Got a rock 'n' roll soul

She says she wants to draw a line
Feel it rolling up her spine
She's the queen of comedown
Summer times, she gets the crown

Cos she, she, she, she, she's
Got a rock 'n' roll soul
When the worlds still buzzing
She's still glowing
Cos she, she, she, she she's
Got a rock 'n' roll soul

Take one for smiles, two for happiness
Six for the feeling of ******* emptiness
Credit card lines, do them all the time
Getting it up in a rapid climb

Cos she, she, she, she, she's
Got a rock 'n' roll soul
When the worlds still buzzing
She's still glowing
Cos she, she, she, she she's
Got a rock 'n' roll soul

Middle of the night, her liver gives in
Middle of the night, her room starts to spin
Middle of the night, supplies are getting thin
Middle of the night, crawling under her skin

Cos she, she, she, she, she's
Got a rock 'n' roll soul
When the worlds still buzzing
She's still glowing
Cos she, she, she, she she's
Got a rock 'n' roll soul

She says she wants to watch the stars shoot
Drinking liquer and smoking to boot
She's the queen of rock and roll
Sign of life beyond control

Cos she, she, she, she, she's
Got a rock 'n' roll soul
When the worlds still buzzing
She's still glowing

The Strange
Joey McNamara Aug 2010
Dear sweet and normal lover mine
Stop pretending, you know it's time
Grab your bags and get them packed
Your day to day life has just been sacked

Kick normality in the face
Join us all in outer space
And lose all your class and your grace
For it's the strange in need of your embrace

You were blinded by normality
It's time you reterned your sanity
Crazy was your middle name
Come back now, relight the flame

Kick normality in the face
Join us all in outer space
And lose all your class and your grace
For it's the strange in need of your embrace

I'm not saying, "Wear dresses and make-up"
It's just your mind you need to shake-up
Your normal life just isn't working
It's your duty that you're shirking

Kick normality in the face
Join us all in outer space
And lose all your class and your grace
For it's the strange in need of your embrace

Drop your suit, and burn your ties
It's time you confessed up all your lies
Drown your boss, it's time to change
Quit your job and embrace the strange!

Kick normality in the face
Join us all in outer space
And lose all your class and your grace
For it's the strange in need of your embrace
For it's the strange in need of your embrace

This Is Goodbye
Joey McNamara Aug 2010
When words don't seem to work
To break us down to tears
As long as we are friends
We will last until the end
But oh I can't lie
This is goodbye

Forever is never until it ends
Forget those feelings, forget that pain
Remember the way it all was
But it will never be the same

When words don't seem to work
To break us down to tears
As long as we are friends
We will last until the end
But oh I can't lie
This is goodbye

All that remains is that guestion
Why are you so afraid to let go?
When our time was almost up
You never let your feelings show

When words don't seem to work
To break us down to tears
As long as we are friends
We will last until the end
But oh I can't lie
This is goodbye

Wipe your tears and muffle those screams
Because nothing is ever what it seems
We fall down mountains and drown in streams
'Cos I built this city on hopes and dreams

When words don't seem to work
To break us down to tears
As long as we are friends
We will last until the end
But oh I can't lie
This is goodbye
This is goodbye
Goodbye

Name And Number
Joey McNamara Aug 2010
I gave you my number, I gave you my heart
I should of noticed, right from the start
The number was fake, but the name was so real
But you made me feel all the feelings I feel

Is she, just another notch on the bedpost?
Or is she, the one for me?
All I know is that this is, this is
Not the place for me
Is she, just a name and a number?
Or is she, the one for me?
All I know is that this is, this is
Not the place for me

I gave you my friendship, I gave you my love
I thought you an angel, sent from above
Turns out you were a devil, sent from below
A devil bent on causing torture and sorrow

Is she, just another notch on the bedpost?
Or is she, the one for me?
All I know is that this is, this is
Not the place for me
Is she, just a name and a number?
Or is she, the one for me?
All I know is that this is, this is
Not the place for me

I gave you my body, I gave you my mind
How is it that love is so easy to find?
Is it easy for you? Its not easy for me
To get over the person that you used to be

Is she, just another notch on the bedpost?
Or is she, the one for me?
All I know is that this is, this is
Not the place for me
Is she, just a name and a number?
Or is she, the one for me?
All I know is that this is, this is
Not the place for me

I gave you my number, I gave you my heart
I should of noticed, right from the start
The number was fake, but the name was so real
But you made me feel all the feelings I feel

Shadow Of The Rose
Joey McNamara Mar 2010
The day after yeasterday I saw you fly
I need to fly to get to you
Up in the sky,
But i dont know how
Don't mind whats in here,
For me now.
I just want to know,
How come you did not sing,
When i played for your night,
When i played for your day
How come there was no lyrics for me to play,
The melody of life,
To wich i cannot sing,
For i have..
No voice

No Voice to sing
No Voice to Play
Play for the day
Play for the night
Play for the day we say..
Goodbye

Goodbye to the day
The shadow of the night
The moon of the day
The rose's edge does fray
Fray to pieces
Pieces of me
Inside of you
Inside of me
Knowing the truth is not always best
Knowing you are just like the rest
Knowing you can never be..
Perfect

How come you did not sing,
When i played for your night,
When i played for your day
How come there was no lyrics for me to play,
The melody of life,
To wich i cannot sing,
For i have..
No voice

No Voice to sing
No Voice to Play
Play for the day
Play for the night
Play for the day we say..
Goodbye

Without You
Joey McNamara Mar 2010
You were racing through the mind
Now you say you haven't got the time
I couldn't let you leave
But you reduced me to my knees
I really can't let you go
But baby, let me know

I can't be anybody without you
I can't live for long without you
I can't breathe without you
Baby I don't exist without you
Cos I can't breathe witout you

You were the sun to my rain
You and me, forever and a day
You didn't have to up and wake me
You could of let me be
I should of used my heart and my head
I should of listened to what they said

I can't be anybody without you
I can't live for long without you
I can't breathe without you
Baby I don't exist without you
Cos I can't breathe witout you

I never wanted to let you down
But you just messed me around
We set sail into lover's sea
Why didn't you just leave me be?
It's true, i wasn;t so happy before
But you've bought me to the shadow's door

I can't be anybody without you
I can't live for long without you
I can't breathe without you
Baby I don't exist without you
Cos I can't breathe witout you

I can't be anybody without you
I can't live for long without you
I can't breathe without you
Baby I don't exist without you
Cos I can't breathe witout you
Oh love, you strange twisted thing :)

Gone
Joey McNamara Mar 2010
The soap feels like rock in the shower
The water runs cold down my fingers
Like a blanket of snow over grass
It's taking too long, but I'm not really caring
I'm off with the stars and their friends
It's just the end of another hopeless cause
But I held it so close, I need you right here
It's just not the same, without your body next to mine

The trees sing their sweet sorrow
The birds calling out to the night
The stars all blink out to darkness
As with each step you get, further and further away
I'm off with the stars and their friends
It's just the end of another hopeless cause
But i held it so close, I need you right here
It's just not the same, without your body next to mine

Stepping out of the shower and into the light
The day isn't quite yet over
Theres time still for this not to be
Another hopeless cause
I'm off with the stars and their friends
It's jsut the end of another hopeless cause
But i held it so close, I need you right here
It's just not the same, without your body next to mine

Your eyes how they glisten and glimmer
Like the shine of a new autum leaf
They stare like icey blood daggers
Knocked out just by one look
And I'm off with the stars and their friends
It's just the end of another hopeless cayse
But I held it so close, I need you right here
It's just not the same, without your body next to mine

Climbing down the mountain of, my house stairs
Sprinting to the room where you, lying on my bed. I
Jump to the warm, stay there till dawn. I
know, you will be here, when I return
Oh I'm off with the stars and their friends
It's just the end of another hopeless cause
But I held it so close, I need you right here
It's just not the same without your body next to mine

The trees sing their sweet sorrow
The birds calling out to the night
The stars all blink out to darkness
As with each step you get, further and further away
I'm off with the stars and their friends
It's just the end of another hopeless cause
But i held it so close, I need you right here
It's just not the same, without your body next to mine
And you're going, going, going, gone.
Death, relationships, depression and a really bad day.

One By One
Joey McNamara Mar 2010
Watching you, staring out the window
Out onto fields and cities wide
Looking for places to run, places to hide
But you can't hide

It's too far to walk and It's too short to run
It's too fun to measure and it's all so much fun

Nothing really cries out, nothing makes a sound
Running up the letters, making you cry loud
Does it need to be like this, it's all i really want
Do we need to stay here, and watch us fade away

I will not let you lie here, letting your life fade away
Because I know you will not let me, fade away

Reading is for concerts, and playing is for home
Can nobody win this game, against the garden gnome?
Seems a shame to let it go, to let it fade away
But then again, neither of us exist, anyway

Let it all run wild, let the grass grow long
Let it all overflow, while we all are gone
For when we return we shall fix
all the stones and broken bricks
It was made for us to break, it was made for us to fix
Life is just one big game, of old fashioned pick up sticks

It's our individual differences that let it sound the same
It's our geotypes and phenotypes that make it sound the same
It's the meaning of life, the universe and everything
It's the one small thing that keeps the clock tick, tick ticking

Why can we not see it?
Why does it hurt our eyes?
It's the inconvenient truth
our own genetic lies

It was our grand fathers fathers
And their fathers too
That created this here world
for me and you
But they made it wrong
They should of took their time
Instead they made it quick
Polluting yours and mine
Though we can make it better
If we take our time
We can make it better, for yours and mine

The skin of the world, is about to shed quick
The sun that moves closer, closer, closer
The top of our world is about to move south
The inside of the earth, is about to reach the mouth
And it's our fault, for not saving lives
We are the ones that let the bees out the hives
For two pounds a month we can save a small childs life
For three pounds a month we can sign up to xbox live
It's not our genetics that make us who we are
It's who we are inside, our thoughts, our feelings

Is it right that we have what they don't?
Should we divulge, in what they lack.
We sing this song, so they can sing it back
We all stand together
One earth
One thought
One fact
Help us all to make it so, let's change the world today
For we all stand together
One earth
One thought
One fact
A poem/song about the world and how it makes no sense.

Lake Of Solid Gold
Joey McNamara Mar 2010
I don't know where I'm going
I'm not even sure where I am
I don't know where I've been
I'm not even sure where I started

It feels like swimming
In a lake of solid gold
I'm not afraid of anything
For time is mine
It just feels like swimming
In a lake of solid gold
It doesn't make any sense
The letters do not rhyme

I don't really want to move
Just going with the flow
I don't really want to grow
Just want to stay here and linger

Cos it feels like swimming
In a lake of solid gold
I'm not afraid of anything
For time is mine
It just feels like swimming
In a lake of solid gold
It doesn't make any sense
The letters do not rhyme

I don't really want to feel
Just want to stay still
I don't really want to taste
For it all tastes sour

Cos it feels like swimming
In a lake of solid gold
I'm not afraid of anything
For time is mine
It just feels like swimming
In a lake of solid gold
It doesn't make any sense
The letters do not rhyme

I don't really want to speak
Just feeling oh so gentle
I dont really want to listen
For theres too much noise

Cos it feels like swimming
In a lake of solid gold
I'm not afraid of anything
For time is mine
It just feels like swimming
In a lake of solid gold
It doesn't make any sense
The letters do not rhyme

I don't know where I'm going
I'm not even sure where I am
I don't know where I've been
I'm not even sure where I started
It just feels like swimming
In a lake of solid gold
A poem/song about really not knowing what you want to do with your life,
or just being opposed to change, being happy with the way things are.
