This Is The End For Me
This is a song I wrote last night in about 20 minutes or so. I still need to make some revisions but I wanted to share the initial rough draft.
I was inspired to write this after reading a Facebook post about a woman who passed away during the 9/11 attacks while I was also listening to the My Chemical Romance album Danger Days: The True Lives Of The Fabulous Killjoys. The particular song that gave me the inspiration to write this is called Save Yourself, I'll Hold Them Back. What do you guys think?
(Verse)
Oh, hello
'Cause this is the last goodbye
And the tears, they rain like Hell
From the other side
And the screams
Like a tidal wave of serenades
Rising up in fire lights
We can't run away
Tonight, tonight
(Chorus)
Think I see how this one goes
Will you remember me
When the blaze is burning low
Just don't forget me
(Never forget me)
(Post Chorus)
Don't cry
For this is the end for me
Be the Phoenix in the darkness
Can you rise above this hate
From the ashes
(Verse)
Oh, my dear
Is it worse than what they're saying
'Cause I just can't seem to hear
From the other side
A bad dream
Waiting out the end of days now
And the towers burned on down
And I can't run away
Tonight, tonight
(Chorus)
Think I see how this one goes
Will you remember me
When the blaze is burning low
Just don't forget me
(Never forget me)
No,
Think I see how this one goes
Will you remember me
When the blaze is burning low
Please remember me
(Never forget)
(Bridge)
We stand upon the ground
With the lovers and the zeros, baby, now
The eulogy is what they always had in mind
Just say
Did they break on through the barrio
Like a city built on damage control
These lies take the best of me
Will I fade into the sky
(It's up to you to pull me back
It's up to you
To pull me out of the void)
(Chorus)
Think I see how this one goes
Will you remember me
When the blaze is burning low
Just don't forget me
(Never forget me)
No,
Think I see how this one goes
Will you remember me
When the blaze is burning low
Please remember me
(Don't leave me here my love
Don't leave me here my love)
(Outro)
And please don't cry
For this is the end for me
Be the Phoenix in the darkness
Can you rise above this hate
From the ashes
Please don't cry
For this is the end for me
Be the Phoenix in the darkness
Can you rise above this hate
From the ashes
