No One's There

[TenaciousBe]

Another for my upcoming EP. The most recent song I've put together. The first verse is something I've had lying around for a good 6 or 7 years now, and the chorus is a song idea that my old band's singer had for a different project we were going to do, but since that fell by the wayside (and I wrote most of the lyrics to it anyway after he came up with the basic structure), I stole it to put the first verse to. Then wrote a second verse, and have slapped it all together. I've got music for it, just don't have a demo recorded yet. It sounds a lot darker and sadder than I really am, it's just the exaggerated feelings of the last several years for the sake of a good (I hope?) song.

No One's There:

Woke up in another nightmare
So damn scared I'm running out of...
Time is not my friend, it's just the only thing
That I can still call mine
Ashes scattered on the pavement
In the basement and I'm losing...
Faith is not my friend, it's just the last piece of me
That no longer shines
And none of this is mine...

So I reach out for a hand
For someone who will understand
But no one's there
How can I believe,
When all love does is deceive,
And no one cares,
Cause no one's there?

Sidewalks painted by the shadows
From the gallows and I'm falling...
Farther from the places where I've always been
And where I want to be
So wide-eyed and so naive
I believed the lie so easy
Now I'm left with nothing but this mess I've made
And I can barely see
Just who I want to be

So I reach out for a hand
For someone who will understand
But no one's there
How can I believe,
When all love does is deceive,
And no one cares,
Cause no one's there?

How can I believe,
When all love does is deceive,
And no one cares,
Cause no one's there?
And no one knows the pain I bear
Cause no one's there
