Enemies & Advocates

This is a little acoustic duo that me and my friend Dustin started. We plan to get some YouTube vids up soon, but I wanted to share these lyrics with you guys and see what you thought. We co-wrote both of these, and they're both pretty intense..if you haven't heard it before, go listen to "One Man Drinking Games" by Mayday Parade. That's the kind of intense we're talking about.



It Was Us Against The World, And You Won.
_____________________________________

If I had a nickel for all of the times
I've fallen in love to abide in my life,
then I'd be a poor man with all the love that I'll ever need.
And I'd walk around with my only coin,
and I'd spend it every day just to hear your voice.
And I'd be the richest companion of love's poverty.

Oh, where did you go?
When you left me, my heart and my soul
to the capture of death all alone.
Tonight, in this breathlessness and loneliness,
this once heart of stone in this alley so cold.
I'm bound by the chains, I'm bound by the chains
and I'm stuck to the anchor of gold.
And I hear you call me, arms around me now.
I look past the loss, and I look to your love somehow.
It's for you that I'm breathing now.

If I had it my way, you would be here, today
with no choice but to swallow the words I would say.
But as it turns out, fate's love for me has now gone.
My best yes you were, and that I'll not change.
As we sing this last hymn and we stick you in the grave, love
You're just asleep, and you'll dwell in me from now on.

Oh, where did you go?
When you left me, my heart and my soul
to the capture of death all alone.
Tonight, in this breathlessness and loneliness,
this once heart of stone in this alley so cold.
I'm bound by the chains, I'm bound by the chains
and I'm stuck to the anchor of gold.
And I hear you call me, arms around me now.
I look past the loss, and I look to your love somehow.
It's for you that I'm breathing now.

And last night, I dreamed
That you came to me
and sang me to sleep.
Singing, singing..
'Sweetdreams, my love.
I promise it won't be long.
It won't be long.'
But I wake up, and you're gone.

And I hear you call me, arms around me.. (x3)
I look past the loss, and I look to your love somehow..

Oh, where did you go?
When you left me, my heart and my soul
to the capture of death all alone.
Tonight, in this breathlessness and loneliness,
this once heart of stone in this alley so cold.
I'm bound by the chains, I'm bound by the chains
and I'm stuck to the anchor of gold.
And I hear you call me, arms around me.
I hear you call me, arms around me now.
I look past the loss, and I look to your love somehow.
It's for you that I'm breathing now.

Heroine (unofficial name)

Let's be honest.
I wasn't alright when you found me.
My eyes were burning from the tears and the fears
that had left me alone.

And you.
Picking up all my broken pieces,
and putting me back together
in a way that made me new.
You're making me new.

Could you be my missing piece?
Could you be? Could you be?

It wasn't years.
It didn't take you decades to fix me.
But every moment with you was more filling
than every moment before.

And not to be cliche,
but talking to you every day,
is like something from my childhood,
when anything was possible.

(These next two lines are sung on top of each other.)
Perfect enough to be a dream, please don't be.
Could you be my missing piece?
Could you be, could you be?

As I stand on my watch tower and I wait for you
every moment passes by and I'm looking to
see you burn your path of beauty across the blue sky.
You come to me and to my rescue, I
will try to be your hero,
if you promise to be my heroine.

Perfect enough to be a dream, could you be my missing piece?

Good, sir, as always. E-cookie for you. :3

Nom nom nom nom.
Thanks, bro!
