Left on Read
Max Vale Jan 2020
Don't you call me when you're alone,
Don't you dare pick up the phone.
Just to leave me on read,
And wake up in somebody else's bed.

This Place Called Paradise
Max Vale Jan 2020
This place called paradise,
Is where I want to be.
The limit is the sky,
For you and me.

Nothing can touch us,
The world is at our feet.
Can't you finally see?
It was meant to be?

And the shadows close in.

Again
Max Vale Nov 2019
You know she's gonna break your heart,
You know she's gonna love you and leave you again.
You know she's gonna take you apart,
So why did you fall for it again?

You know you're just gonna leave him again.
You know you're going break him apart,
So why did you leave him again?

Afraid of Ghosts
Max Vale Nov 2019
People call me crazy,
For being afraid of ghosts.
But their shadows haunt me lately,
They find their way to my soul.

On Her Way

When she's gone,
She'll be on her way.
And like my dreams,
She'll slowly fade away.

Highway
Max Vale Sep 2019
Sometimes in life,
We have to take the hard way.
But when you find love,
You'll be cruising on the highway.

Lady Liberty
Max Vale Sep 2019
Yeah we call it history,
Our ancestor's misery,
True or false a mystery,
Throw in a bit of trickery,
That tasted bitterly,
When we are kept in captivity,
Bringing out the artillery,
Might just be simplicity,
Or maybe just stupidity,
Learn a bit of humility,
Sit on a rock tranquillity,
Inspiring **** creativity,
Everything is a possibility,
Whether we react with negativity,
Or take it literally,
Follow religion divinity,
Maybe we just need some responsibility,
Work together synergy,
To get to a place called victory,
Doing it all for Lady Liberty.
Tweaked :) wrong version published, my bad.

Prayer

Been waiting for a long time,
Ever since I started to dare,
To dream that I'd be fine.
Waiting for you like a prayer.

Distance

Maybe I'll get it someday.

Want

Things change and,
Relationships break and fall apart.
But that doesn't mean,
That I still don't want your heart.

Airport Girl

Lifeline

Didn't mean to call you this time,
Maybe I was throwing a lifeline.

Or am I dreaming in my mind?

To be with you when you need me the most.

All You Tell Are Lies
Max Vale Jun 2019
Cruising in some Off-White,
Waiting for the sunrise,
Eating some french fries,
Keeping my dull eyes,
Close to the skies,
This is our prize,
Our dizzying highs,
There is no surprise,
Don't wear a disguise,
When will we realise,
All you tell are lies?

Don't Say I Don't Love You
Max Vale Jun 2019
Calm down,
No need to go crazy.
It’s so easy for me to say,
The screams in your sleep they never fade.

We'll fight all the monsters,
We'll keep running.
Till we get out alive.
Swear to God won't let you die.

So take a deep breath,
And think about what you say.
Don't say I don't love you,
Because you know I do.

Take a Second & Stay
Max Vale May 2019
On the brink,
Of the morning.
If it's too cold,
Let me know.
Even the sky moans,
When it wants to be left alone.

Going so far away,
Like you're not coming back.
Like a rising cloud,
Don't forget you cry.
Like a black thorn rose,
Her beauty shows.

Riding along,
Towards sunset.
Pass the cliff,
Of no return.
Down towards the beach,
She's just out of reach.

Tides coming in,
Moon begins to rise.
White sail at sea,
Following the sun.
When you go everything turns to grey,
Don't leave me take a second and stay.

Maybe It'll Be OK
Max Vale May 2019
Maybe I'll feel sorrow,
Maybe it'll be OK.
Maybe when I wake up tomorrow,
I won't feel this way.

On these streets of California.

Get Up & Go Again
Max Vale Apr 2019
There was once a girl,
               Who taught me many things,
To love the earth,
                    And count my blessings.

Once I was broken,
                    Beyond repair.
   I laid on the floor,
                           Full of despair.

       She walked by me,
                 I thought she'd pick me up.
     But she said to me,
                          Get the hell up.

She didn't give me a hand,
              She didn't help me at all.
She just made sure I got back up,
                           That was all.

             So I sat there,
Sobbing and crying.
Like a little baby,
                                  Moaning and whining.

            She said to me,
Why do you cry little one?
                                 There are bigger battles,
To be fought and one.

               Hearing her words,
Made me get back on my feet.
               I said no more,
I disliked defeat.

               She smiled at me at last,
Knowing she'd taught me right.
     To never give up,
                           Without a fight.

      Reaching out her hand,
           Get up she said.
                        I took her hand,
                                              Got up and went again.
The most valuable lesson, I've ever learnt :)

In those perfect pools of blue.

There's no one as beautiful like you.

There's a sparkle in your eye.
Like a diamond in the sky,
You make me feel so alive.

Wishing To Be Free
Max Vale Mar 2019
It's a path we walk,
Whenever we feel alone.
When we don't want to talk,
But just want to go home.

When it rains,
It rains on me.
The wind pains,
It hurts to be me.

I hate the cold,
Yet it loves me.
It always loves to hold,
Tight, surrounding me.

I wish I was better,
That I didn't have to be me.
My life's so bitter,
I wish that I was free.
Its a cold world out there

I'll Come Home
Max Vale Feb 2019
Remember when I told you,
That there will always be hope.
Remember when I told you,
To hold onto the rope.

Remember when I told you,
The road was long.
Remember when I told you,
To please stay strong.

Remember when I told you,
You'd never be alone.
Remember that I've promised,
That'll I'll come home.
Im coming home

A maleficent beast.

Brace for fall.

Throwback
Max Vale Aug 2018
Glorious hills,
Hall of fame.
Cheap thrills,
God of the Game.

How did I get here?

Shipwrecked boat,
Undiscovered land.
Sore throat,
Parched and bland.

It came from above,
Woken by the sun.
By the sight of a dove,
My training begun.

I fought beasts,
I ran till I could run no more,
I challenged chiefs,
I won the war.

My ordeal had not ended,
It had literally just begun.
My road was not apprehended,
By myself or anyone.

I surfed waves,
I braved the whirlpool.
I plunged into the ocean caves,
To recover the infamous jewel.

I climbed the mountain,
Silent and still.
At the peak lay a fountain,
Ready to spill.

The water enlightened me,
I was ready to fight.
Nothing could stop me,
As I flew into the night.

At long last I was home,
Captain's armband.
In this very stadium dome,
I will create history by my very own hand.

Faded
Max Vale Aug 2018
I was brought here by a star,
One that I had rode on from afar.
Here on this planet called "Earth",
Was destined to be my hearth.
Millenniums folded,
The Earth moulded.
From a barren plain,
To the Earth we see today.
Then I met Man.
Gone were the forests,
Replaced by cities.
Gone were the creatures,
Who had no say.
Man was not evil,
Man had good intentions.
Shame that the life of one race,
Mattered more than the life of others.
Earth, my home.
A friend I used to know,
A girl I used to love.
Now I'm faded.

Stormy Waves
Max Vale Jul 2018
The storm is coming,
You can run but cannot hide.
You better start running,
Cuz this is a wave you cannot ride.
Max Vale Jul 2018
The vans on the interstate
they go real slow, they go real slow
the vans on the interstate
20 MPH below, 20 MPG below
the limit

I'm too fast for this road,
There's nowhere I can't go.
I'm free I carry no load,
Speed limit? No.

The vannies are nannies
don't ya know, don't ya know
vannies are nannies
really slow, really slow
it really is
no secret

Time goes quickly,
Soon it'll go below.
But life's too quick,
For me to go slow.

I'm not sure they
comprehend, comprehend
really not sure they understand
either GMC, or Chevrolet
whether GMC, or Chevrolet
being the clot
in the road

Embrace the speed while you can,
Before you blink.
It'll disappear,
Before you can think.
Max Vale Jun 2018
Anger, Love and Hate,
Binds me as a person.
Sadness, Joy, Afraid,
Helps me or worsens.
My soul is held in strings,
Pulled by emotions.
But I'm not the only one feeling things.

One is not alone with these blinding things. My heart aches from the controlling effect of empty emotion.
But one such only reminds, the sorrow I feel when my heart stops.


When my heart stops,
My brain puts on the brakes.
My mind begins to jump and hop,
Because I can't grasp this.
My resources are empty,
My emotions are down.
See you in a while heaven,
My emotions make me drown.

I feel like nothing,
Like my mind is losing something.
I can't never tell what they are, I try to chase my feeling but they're simply too far.
My emotions are to fragile and weak, I'm slowly losing my mind... I'm at my peak.


I feel nothing,
I see nothing.
I can do nothing.
Duet! :)

Winter Is Here
Max Vale Mar 2018
When the rain comes,
And the oceans turns.
The flood decides to run,
And the hurricane burns.

The snowstorms hit,
The cold bites harsh.
The terrain submits,
To the frost that always leave last.

Surviving hot coals,
Perish under the onslaught.
From when the snow falls,
No life is untouched by the assault.

Upon this white hot snow,
The terrain buried under a blanket.
Across these fields we go,
of this unrecognizable planet.

Alas my hands are freezing,
The cold has infected the air.
No warmth is displeasing,
Oh look winter's here.
