Midnight Countdown


That Green Gentleman

306 views

Blinking past in unseen lies
Watch and read between the lines
Thinking back to all the times there have been
When lights go and you can't be seen

And you know, its the countdown to midnight
And you know, its all changed we can't rewrite
History, its all a blur, and the pages can't be found
Its just the midnight countdown

Tear drops, rain falls, the clock stops,
Forget it all, drop dead, pull the trigger
Against my head, seconds from fading away
You all run, you all fear, but you know I'm still here

And I know, I'm seconds away, go ticking by
And I know, If I can forget you, I will try
But its harder then it seems, I did have dreams (Incase you cared)
But you crushed them

Get in his car, drive down the street
Kiss his lips, you taste so sweet
Leave the pieces on the ground, I'll pick them
Up when I'm ready, go run away with him

And we know, its different, never the same
And we know, you can't kill the fire, just the flame
But the winds from unspoken words still blow
And the heat slips away into nothing, and dies so slow

On the highway, driving all day, burning bridges
On your way, running from the dark you know
But it follows you where you go, and soon it will
Start all over, and theres always an empty spot to fill

Pages lay down on the ground, never again will they be
Found, fading slowly in the dark, left with nothing but a
Broken Heart, watch you leave, you seem to go so easily
As the clock strikes twelve

Wrote it all today, please give me your opinions, is it good enough to be made into an actual song?

pull the trigger

Against my head

That part right there turned me off.

 

Also, "Midnight Countdown" seems familiar to Boys Like Girls "Five Minutes to Midnight" IMO.

 

As for an actual song, I didn't really like it or feel a flow.
