Indelible

House of Cards

Mira James — Wed, 25 Feb 2009 01:54:36 +0000

I’m begging you to go away

I’m a house of cards ready to fall

I’m begging you don’t stay

I’m complicated in every way.

I want more then what I have in this world

Somethings waiting for me outside

Somethings waiting for me outside that door

Don’t count on me

Just set me free

I will only complicate you

Only learn to hate you

I’ve only learned to fall

Let me make my own mistakes

No matter how long it takes

Let me hit the ground so hard

Let me hear the sound of a broken heart

Just let me go

I’m a house of cards ready to explode.

As the wind blows ill find my way.

No matter how long it takes.

I can let you in

But I am going out

So just let me go

I’m a house of cards

And where I travel I don’t know.

I go with the wind

I go through the sky

I burn with fire, with life in my eyes.

I want more then what I’ve found in this world

I want more then what I’ve built in the world –

I’m a house of cards

I will fly

And spread my wings

Up towards the sky

I will fall

This I know

Cause I’m a house of cards

But at least I do it on my own.

Change

Mira James — Tue, 28 Oct 2008 01:26:46 +0000

Don’t wanna walk through that door
’cause you know it means change.
Heavens closing its doors now
and baring its gates.
We take, two step forward,
one steps back.
We are Hypocrites’.
Bleeding souls.
Lying scum,
ya we’re bad to the bone.
Ya’ll don’t wanna look into our souls.
‘Cause you know it means change.
Change – it’s the name of the game.
Change – in this life that we live.
Change – it’s a matter of time,
before we have to give into change.

We all live.
We all die.
We all love.
We all cry.
We fall flat on our face when we don’t,
expect the change.

She was beautiful.
He was wonderful.
But it gone and done,
now time to change – not run.
We take, two step forward,
one steps back.
We are Hypocrites’.
Bleeding souls.
Lying scum,
ya we’re bad to the bone.

But know, we’ve learned this lesson well.
When it comes time to change.
Aint nothin’ we can do,
to make it stay the same.
So what do you do?
Oh what do you do?
You’ve gotta’ change.

Haunting You

Mira James — Sun, 28 Sep 2008 01:25:53 +0000

Into the darkness I live my life
you gave me no reason to want to survive
first you killed my soul, then took my body
and now you’re mad that you can be with me
but hush your words don’t say anymore -
I am with you
forevermore…

I’m a creak in the night,
when the doors no longer locked
I’m that terrible fright
when you can’t wake up
I’m a thief in the night
I’ll find my own way in
For my body’s inside
It’s time for me to begin
haunting you

hating you is effortless
you think I’m so confused
but I see so clearly
what you do
because I’m behind that door
do you want to let me in?
I’m under your bed
watching your every sin

So why try to hide
Everything you do
I know what you are
because I’m haunting you
you try to run
but I’m always there
inside your head
a burden you musts bare
I’m a weighty sin
so let me in
I am temptation
why won’t you give in?

you don’t seem to understand
how complicated I am
so let me put it to you
as clear as I can
I’m a creak in the night,
when the doors no longer locked
I’m that terrible fright
when you can’t wake up
I’m a thief in the night
I’ll find my own way in
For my body’s inside
Are you ready for me to begin?

Sickness You Gave

Mira James — Sun, 21 Sep 2008 01:24:44 +0000

You make me want to hate you
How could I ever have wanted to thank you?
With all the things that you do
I can see right through you
That ego you put on – a disguise
But you will see your pathetic demise
Fait, she’s knocking on your door
And you can lie to her anymore
You never meant anything to me
I burned all of those memories
They were nothing but a stain on my life
Now washed with bleach and doomed to die.
You make me want to hate you
With all that shit that you do
I can live without you!
How could I ever think that you were indelible?
When it was so easy to bury you in a hole
So lay there quietly and in peace I’ll be
Without the sickness you gave to me.

Hate and Memory Surround

Mira James — Wed, 28 May 2008 01:22:48 +0000

Are you there?
I can feel you surrounding me
as I lay here-
Sound thee alarm
claustrophobia’s setting in.
Are you there?
I can feel you surrounding me.
Why can’t you let me die?
Your hatred
makes it
hard for me to breathe.
And yet you stand by my side,
I only ever anted to love you –
You said, you only ever wanted to love me –
yet you ended
hating me.
Now I lay here at your feet,
you’re surrounding me.

Fight with me,
one more night.
Lay and die with me,
one last time.

Lets burn:
All of our memories!
Everything that means
anything!
Yes, burn our memories –
of you and me,
we are now just history.
Our only legacy is going to burn!

Where are you air?
I need to breathe,
his hates surrounded me,
collapsed my lungs
made me blind, deaf and dumb.
I’m dying here,
trying to breathe
but the air is so thick with his forsaken hate
and memory!
Ashes of what
we use to be!

We burned our memories!
Everything that means
anything!
We burned our memories!
Everything that means
anything!
We burned our memories!
Everything that means
anything!

After everything’s said and done,
and you’re no longer surrounding me,
and the fire of what we use to be
is now only a gentle breeze.

For you’ve torn away from our
history.
And now what’s left is only me.
And as I breathe to live again.
I have only your memory,
to love now for eternity –

You will always be,
surrounding me.
With your hate and your
memory…

Birdcatcher’s Cage

Mira James — Tue, 27 May 2008 01:21:00 +0000

I fell in love with something,
beautiful.
I’ve seen it lying there
within your eyes.
That passion, tat drive you display.
Captured my heart,
and put it in a cage.

I tried to tell you it would
not
be
all right.
but you never listen to me.
I tried to tell you it would
not
be
all right.
but you never listen to me.

Never again will I try to warn you,
of the coming storm.
Never again will I try to get you
out the door.

You put me in a cage,
left me their to die.
My shredded hands
on bloody bars surround me.
You made me guilty
and put me in a cage.

My cage-
You put me in it when I tried to warn you.
But you never listened.
Listen to me!
How damn stubborn you can be.

Never again will I try
to warn you of
anything…

I fell in love with something,
beautiful.
I’ve seen it lying there
within your eyes.
That passion, tat drive you display.
Captured my heart,
and put it in a cage.

I tried to tell you it would
not
be
all right.
but you never listen to me.
I tried to tell you it would
not
be
all right.
but you never listen to me.

The words that I am saying,
they are so
overwhelming!
I’m just trying to warn you-
Of what is coming.
But you put me in a cage,
You are my Birdcatcher.
I am your victim.

My bloody hands are scarred,
by my gift, my cage.
My bloody hands are scarred,
by my gift, my cage.

I fell in love with something,
beautiful.
I’ve seen it lying there
within your eyes.
That passion, tat drive you display.
Captured my heart,
and put it in a cage.

You goddamned Birdcatcher.
You goddamned Birdcatcher.
You goddamned Birdcatcher.
You goddamned Birdcatcher.
You goddamned Birdcatcher.
You goddamned Birdcatcher –

I just tried to warn you
that I would
escape.

1 Corinthians 15:33

Mira James — Sun, 25 May 2008 01:22:59 +0000

Why did I let all of you effect me like that?
I shouldn’t have to fight to get my life back.
Why did I ever let myself loose my identity?
It’s the effect you had on me!
Sure, id didn’t have to do it!
I could have just used my voice
let go and walked away!
But instead I blinded myself to who you are today!
I let myself be misled.

1 Corinthians 15:33
Do not be mislead,
bad association
spoils
useful habits!
Bad association
spoils
useful habits!
Bad association
spoils
useful habits!

I lost who I was
an anything
that made me, me
my old happiness
was nothing more than a
long lost memory!

I watched myself through my own eyes,
fall down a path of never-ending lies!

How could I let myself fall,
like that.
I want,
myself back.

1 Corinthians 15:33
Do not be mislead,
bad association
spoils
useful habits!
Bad association
spoils
useful habits!
Bad association
spoils
useful habits!

In the end I won the fight,
but lost my love and my best friend-
i let myself fall to our end.
PLEASE resurrect him!

So Tired

Mira James — Wed, 14 May 2008 01:18:50 +0000

I’m so tired of
pushing you.

I don’t want to see you go,
but if it’s the only way,
then go.
Leave me here to die.

I made my destiny.
It’s all around me.
Why’d I think that I could be –
anything.

I’m so tired,
Tired, Tired, Tired, Tired, Tired
So
Tired, Tired, Tired, Tired, Tired, Tired, Tired, Tired, Tired, Tired
So tired.

You were a light form above,
a man that I learned to love.
In you I put all my trust,
in you I hoped for more than lust

You said
take your hand.

I could
follow you.

You said
you understand.

That you
would lead me through.

But I’m
Tired, Tired, Tired lies –
Tired, Tired, Tired Lies.

You always asked:
What did I do to deserve you?
What did I do to earn you?
You said that I was your angel!
You said I was your way!

You make me tired.

I don’t want to push you.
But now I know I have to.
Goddamn my love for you.
Goddamn my love for you.
Goddamn my love for you.
Goddamn my love for you.

I’m
So
Tired

My Way

Mira James — Thu, 17 Apr 2008 01:17:39 +0000

I’m standing outside

In the pouring rain

And I see that lonely moon wandering my way

But I know

I don’t need your light to guide me

You’re not my moon today.

I loved you once

But you threw my heart away.

I loved you twice

But you never gave me the time of day.

I love you still

But I’d be a fool

If I gave my heart back to you.

The lord knows I want to

Cause I’m standing outside

Trying to escape.

With a chain in my hand

Trying to pull my heart away.

About a Boy

Mira James — Thu, 17 Apr 2008 01:14:28 +0000

I wrote this song about a boy

Who broke my heart?

Though I know I’m better off without him

I just can’t decide how to get away

From everything inside.

Get away from how I feel tonight.

Looking back it’s been a long while

Since we first met.

And every memory that we made

I wish that I’d forget.

Cause I know you aint thinking ‘bout me- standing there

I hideaway inside my car

Just to sit and stare

Dreaming about all the ways

we’ll get back together.

Wishing I could go back to a time

When you wanted me forever.
