Bridge
By
Corwin Clampitt
I’d come over everyday
I’d try every possible way
Today seems much different than before
Maybe it was this, maybe it was that
But I ain’t feeling it anymore

The days grew long
You became more cold
Maybe it was because I wasn’t bold
Can’t take it, maybe it was that

Days go on I grow old
Blood in my veins runs cold
Emotions in my mind get less n less bold
If misery loves company, then why do i feel so alone
When guilt becomes more apparent
Thinkin maybe it was this, maybe it was that

I always seem’d to care
Seem’d to always share
Maybe this was more then you could bare
To many things going on
Maybe it was this, maybe it was that

Days go on I grow old
Blood in my veins runs cold
Emotions in my mind get less n less bold
If misery loves company, then why do i feel so alone
When guilt becomes more apparent
Thinkin maybe it was this, maybe it was that

These days I’m feeling wrong
These feel so ****ing long
N When its late I seem to contemplate
If it was this or that
Can’t seem to get you out of mind
Always thinkin always wondering
What your up to, and whats going on

These days are long
Starting to feel I don't belong
N though if you don't show
You already know
I can see inside your soul

So don't make eye tact
And don't pretend to play along
You make me feel like I didn't belong

You speaked in tones
But still you phone, your like a cancer
Why do I seem to always answer
It’s clear to me but must be hard see
This power you hold is controlling me
Why does it seem that destiny is screwing me

I was always there though
She’d never care about me
N it seems to be it wasn't anything
It was everything

Days go on I grow old
Blood in my veins runs cold
Emotions in my mind get less n less bold
If misery loves company, then why do i feel so alone
When guilt becomes more apparent
Thinkin maybe it was this, maybe it was that

Later on the past had gone
N I started to sing along
With life it sounded like
The most beautiful song

Flyin so High
Why don’t you look at me
So numb and free
Forgotten what it was like to be happy

When I heard u gotten over
I had to see it, could I believe it
Like time flies by
When I finally realized

When theres bridges burn em to the ground
And just look around for
When life finally comes crashing down
Hope you realize
Maybe it WAS this, maybe it WAS that but
I wont be waiting around In this **** town

The day you finally fall
N when pain has lost all meaning
You wont see me fleeing
I will embrace it all
The day you finally fall
I’ll be standing tall

When theres bridges burn em to the ground
And just look around for
When life finally comes crashing down
Hope you realize
Maybe it WAS this, maybe it WAS that but
I said I wouldn’t be waiting around In this **** town

I’ve grown older N got tired
Of being the shoulder cried on
Felt some power, wasn’t that face
These dead memories haunted
Crashing like an avalanche in my head
But then it rained and washed away
And may it all just stay
N I never thought to myself again
Maybe it was this, or maybe it was that

Path Ive Taken
By
Corwin Clampitt

Forgetting my name
My eyes open thinkin it's a game
Only to really to show that I’m alone
Voices seem to stray
Shouting in a way
Need to find myself
Need to find a safe house

People sayin I’m wasting all my time
Pissing my life away seems so easy
Whats the meaning whats the truth
In a hour bright as heavens shines
In days filled with dark
I sit and think n start to fall apart

The path I chose is one that shows
On unwilling faces, makes me feel shameless
It's a long way from the bottom to the top
The road my twist but you can’t ever, ever stop

When times seem tough
It’s when people can’t get enough
When the road get rough you gotta move forward
Keep headin toward your destination
Through all the frustration cuz
Even though I’m moving I feel conviction
All I ever hear is
Bitch bitch
Blame blame
All ya people do is complain

In the summer the fall came faster
And winter blew through
Like hurricane
There’s no reason
For the seasons to change
You cant stop and hold
On a path unknown
Has shown me all to well

And the road may twist but you can never, ever stop
They will not flop you cant give up
They will not rescue they may heckle you
Seems to me they kick you while your down
N everyone just turns around
Unless you put on a fake smile
Make em think its alright
The path I chose might not be an easy one

But when the music is playin
And I start pick all n any
Words in my mind to becomes unhinged
Sown together in harmony
Worth so much more than money

Speed got faster
Confidence of a master
But headed for disaster
My own little rapture
Makes me wanna turn around
The path I’ve taking
Nerves start shaking
Time to start making
Time to stop faking
The road starts to curve
My heart pumpin so fast it burns
Another second gained
Makes me feel less constricted
So afflicted by everyone

Days ran rapid the tires skidded
Like a fruit forbidden
why am I running
Why am I lyin to myself n everyone else
False emotion, fake devotion
The motion of the rollin
Has got me going
As long as there’s a smile on my face
We will go for miles at this pace

This path I’ve chosen
Of the unknowing
Everyday seems the same
The more I meddle
They start to ask for more
Put the peddle to the floor

Escaping from an incident
Not going any slower
A fork in the road
Left or right
Can’t see the light

The road may twist but you can never, ever stop
Can never miss a chance like this
A fist in the air, has me with no cares
My mind it tares pains I cant bare
No one to share the things I cared about
I gotta shout it out

The chamber is loaded
I’m ****in rollin
Music flowing
Finally know where I’m going
From the bottom to the top

Fames seems overrated
People start hating miscommunication
Turns everyone against eachother
But no one bothers
See what really going on
Just bitch bitch
Blame blame
All you do is complain

Hard to explain can’t contain it
This **** is drivin me outa my mind
Like a bolt of lighting should seem freighting
I see a dead end a cliff at the end
I’m gonna risk it not going to miss it
I’m taking my shot to be on top
The road may twist you can never, ever stop
Never give up
Cant get fed up
Just keep on trying
Stop denying, see through the lieing
In the air im flying
The path I’ve chosen
Was one of unknowning
The knowledge was power
And in my brightest hour
I’m gonna make it all the way
Wanna hear all the people sayin
All there sorrys
Taken back there laughter
Cuz these dream wasn't ment to shatter
Never forgot the things that mattered
Never let em hold me back
The smile I wear is for real
Cuz now I feel
The path I’ve chosen
I had already been going
Always been knowing
It was showing
Directions to my soul

Lifes so subtle
Can’t be doubtful
Gotta be blowin dust in the air
Go without cares
The road may twist, but you will never miss
Never stop
…ever

Smile (an absence of confidence)
By
Corwin Clampitt

Smile upon a face
Better keep it on
‘Least till their gone
‘Cuz their known to criticize
Often victimize maybe terrorize

Smile on a Face
Becomes a surprise
A brilliant disguise
Hides the truth
Tells only lies

Maybe one day
Grow up n run away
Pray that you don't become the prey
Can’t betray a game they like to play

Days start to fly
Tears start to cry
They’re all wondering why
Cuz’ Smile on a face
Portrays it’s all okay
Then insides start to decay
Slowly they will see
The ground rumbling
Feet stumbling
Walls crumbling

Break away run away
Now they all gonna pay
Don’t look back they can’t attack
Off the beaten track won’t look back
Soon they’re seeing
Flying not fleeing
Don’t wanna share this feeling

Being here is unreal
Can’t fight it
Retaliate from it
Complicate it
They won’t admit it
Cannot quit wont submit

Feel the fire burning
Eyes looking heads turning
Maybe they’re learning
Been yearning for this day

A real smile starts to fall
Here it lies don’t deny
Convince but don’t deceive
An absence of confidence but still believe
Gotta stay standing tall
Cuz the walls will fall
Freeing all
