Gage's lyrical work

[Valkyrie Gauge]

I'm just a beginner writer, so I don't really think I'm that good yet. I've been working on it. Also, I've never had singing lessons, so I'm not too well versed in how cords work and such. I just thought I'd post some of my works here.

Behind: (Note: This has a bit of a FrouFrou sound to it)

Way to go champion
Way to go champion
She's not gonna call your name anymore
For what you did, I don't blame her

Three players in one game
and four quarters in you had both of us at home base
where only you'd win
Then the game switched directions
Two strikes at once you were out

Way to go champion
Way to go champion
I'm not gonna call your name anymore
For what you did, I'm leaving you behind

You were two steps ahead of yourself from the starting line
Now it's my turn
to say goodbye
I won't say goodbye

Way to go champion
Way to go champion
We're not gonna call your name anymore
For what you did, now you're left behind
Next time you'll strive for just one at a time

Way to go champion
Way to go champion
We're not gonna call your name anymore
For what you did, now you're left behind
Next time you'll strive for just one at a time

Way to go

Reality:

Missing out on life just cause you're living fantasies of things you'd not even imagine even in your wildest dreams.

I wanna say, none of it's real
You're not a hero
Not a rockstar
Not an actor
or the savior you thought you were
You're just a kid who's missing out on earth.

Who your friends are, who your friends were
Can you even remember
The you you were before you played pretend.
Do you like me or were you pretending?
What makes you think I've got all day for an answer?
Tell me. Tell me
or I'll just
leave...

I wanna say, none of it's real
You're not a hero
Not a rockstar
Not an actor
or the savior that you thought you were
You're just a kid who's missing out on earth.

You're not a savior of the world
Not an actor, others spread the word
not a soldier fighting your own battles
Not a hero...
Then who are you? Who the heck are you?
Who the heck are you...?

I wanna say, none of it's real
You're not a hero
Not a rockstar
Not an actor
or the savior you that thought you were
You're just a kid who's missing out on earth.

I wanna say, none of it's real
You're not a hero
Not a rockstar
Not an actor
or the savior you thought you were
You're just a kid who's missing out on earth.

Everybody wants to be a rockstar
Everyone wants to be a savior
Everyone wants to be that someone that no one will forget
But how can we remember
When all we do is
pretend?

I wanna say, none of it's real
You're not a hero
Not a rockstar
Not an actor
or the savior you thought you were
You're just a kid who's missing out on earth.

October Skies:

Leaves are falling round your face
I wanna be in your place
and be with you

My lazy heart, it can't
Keep the pace, keep it's pace
In these ever changing days
And I've come to fear
We won't always have October

Your voice, it resonates
all over my October Skies
and I can't get my heart around you

Can't always wait for that next thirty days when you'll come around
Got to come around
I'll come around
Cause I don't know where to...go from here
Go from here

Your voice, it resonates
All over my October skies
and I can't get my heart around you

I'll get my heart around you  

[Valkyrie Gauge]

Ghosts:

This trance I'm in
Keep me from sinning in my sleep
As I tear apart these walls
I can hear you calling out for me

Through this broken heart I find escape
To a world I can say I protect
Don't let me defect from this

and If I'm ever falling
To my old self, to my old self
Don't leave me alone here
Bring me back to where it
feels alright now
Nothing to be frightened of

Wake me up again to find
That everything I thought I knew was wrong
This beating in my heart drowns out the blinding light
But everything feels alright
for once in my life

If I'm ever falling
To my old self, to my old self
Don't leave me alone here
Bring me back to where it
feels alright now
Nothing to be frightened of

The shadows of the past are gone
Unless I give them the power to return

Love is Hard to Say ((Meant to be sung solemnly and soulfully to piano and saxophone))

Our lives are like a work of art
With lines intertwining here and there
splashes of color here and there but
I never thought of using red

Cause those cool september nights
I never
No I never want to forget
And as the Summer burns away
Never asking us to stay at all

I never said
We were anything more than freinds
No never never never never

You took step to far to the right
and a freindship stumbled out of sight
But then again
I think when summer ends
There's something I forgot to say

And I guess, I guess
I was afraid to say
Cause it's hard to see that freindship go away
That I loved you too
Lord knows I loved you loved you too
It's just too hard
It's just too hard
Lord knows it's just too hard for me
to say

(ends with a short saxophone closing)

The Reason I Sing

It's about time...
I told you the truth
that someone once taught me
how to fly
the importance of having something to protect
and somehow when we're standing tall
it's amazing how we're feeling small
how this big ole world just crumbles neath our feet

Here I stand now
ready to bleed
willing to fight for it all
willing to stand for your all
But I wanna sing, I wanna sing

I wanted be the one
to keep it from crumbling
But I lose all control
I just lose all control
as the sands
sift through my fingers
Just like you
slipped through my fingers

And so I stand
singing my song
Protecting all you loved
making your world my own
and there's not a thing I regret
But the fear
that held me back

That maybe, just maybe
I didn't wanna lose you again
through the things you held grand

Here I stand now
ready to bleed
willing to fight for it all
willing to stand for your all
But I wanna sing, I wanna sing

So I wore a mask
I changed my name
but I stole my song
and a crime's the same
and I kept it from reaching your hearts
stilling my beating heart
not wishing the bleeding to start

Here I stand now
ready to bleed
willing to fight for it all
willing to stand for your all
But I wanna sing, I wanna sing

It's how I've born my heart this whole time even through the veiled cloud
and I wanna thank you
for giving me wings

Here I stand now
ready to bleed
willing to fight for it all
willing to stand for your all
But I wanna sing, I wanna sing

It is you...for you I sing...
For you I sing...
I sing...

I hope you don't mind me posting...
I just wanted to say that these songs are amazing, and beautiful.
Truly gorgeous. You're amazing if you're just starting out. I envy you.
Even I, whom has been writing for many a years, have yet to make as beautiful lyrics as yours. I do wish, someday, sometime, that these wonderful lyrics will become a song. For thousands upon thousands to hear.
Please, do not change a thing about your lyrics. They don't need improvement. They're perfect as is.
Keep up the amazing work, and have fun with it! XOXOXO
-Lavender  

[Valkyrie Gauge]

Thank you Lavender! I really appreciate it. x3 Iwrite from my heart. Sometimes a song will come to me at 2 am and I can't sleep till I've gotten iot down, but its always fun! I'm inspired by what I listen to too. Sometimes hearing a new song I like will really inspire me to write!

Fly

Oh! I've discovered a way to feel that words cannot express! (spoken)

Can you imagine flying on the earth with your feet on the ground
We don't need to have a verse to feel the beat of the sound
And this feeling's got our heads spinnin around and around and around
And a-Ooooooo

I can feel it on your skin when I see your grin
It's your smile that ignites a certain burning within
And that freedom's got us smiling cause we're flying with our souls
I feel I'm flying in my skin
Yes I feel I'm flying in my skin


Can you imagine flying on the earth with your feet on the ground
We don't need to have a verse to feel the beat of the sound
And this feeling's got our heads spinnin around and around and around
And a-Ooooooo

Baby losing your humanity was never a sin
So let's break loose and give life a spin
Pretty soon we'll be flyin on the earth
Keepin our heads in the clouds
while everybody else thinks we're a bunch of clowns
When we're flying with our feet on the ground

Can you imagine flying on the earth with your feet on the ground
We don't need to have a verse to feel the beat of the sound
And this feeling's got our heads spinnin around and around and around
And a-Ooooooo

Flyin in your skin (baby it's good for your soul)
Who'd have ever thought that losing all control
Could leave you feeling so good you'd be beggin for more
Let's go f-f-fly!!!!!!
Let's fly!

What You Want

What you want
What you want
Doing what you want
(x3)
and I can't stop you
No I won't stop you

Well if you wanna walk away
(I won't stop you)
You say you're coming here to say
(I won't stop you)
Cause I'm here for you and that means
That everythings alright
And no matter how
Annoying you are
My love for you
is still the thing I can't erase

What you want
What you want
Doing what you want
and I can't stop you and I won't stop you

So if you wanna go somewhere
I'll be okay so long as you're with me
And if you want to fly away
We'll say goodbye to yesterday
Spread our wings and take to the skies
Yeaaah

If you want it better do it
While we're still alive

I want what you want
I want what you want
I want what you want

What you want's
What I want
Doing what we want
and I'm all about you
Yes I'm all about you

When the Memories are Gone:

We fell into the sky
We found ourselves in something bigger
Don't tell the other stars
that we're slipping into constellation
I am pulled into your orbit
wanna make this last, forever...

Never fade away...
Never fade away...

Will we fall from the heavens
When everything's gone wrong?
Will our hearts still remember
when the memories are gone?

We put all of our strength
to clawing out of this mud pit
Buried in the hardships
that try to make us both forget
The people we're becoming
are fighting everything we were
and I'll not forget the battle
cause my heart still holds the scars

Will we fall from the heavens
When everything's gone wrong?
Will our hearts still remember
when the memories are gone?

Though it seems we've been apart so long...
It's not possible to forget and move on
Cause you're more than a piece
of the puzzle that's my heart...

Never fade away...
Never fade away...

Will we fall from the heavens
When everything's gone wrong?
Will our hearts still remember
when the memories are gone?

Will we fall from the heavens
When everything's gone wrong?
Will our hearts still remember
when the memories are gone?

Stay with Me

Taking a chance, I hold my breath, taking your hand
I feel as though I've forgotten how to even stand
Speech is jumbled, I mumble when I talk
What could have come over me
I know I have my faults, though it's not exactly my fault

I need you to stay with me
I need you to stay with me
In giving you my all, I stumble and I fall
I may not be what you want
but you're all I need
Falling at alarming speed
Taking a chance if anything
when I can hardly breath

I need you to stay with me
I need you to stay with me
In giving you my all, I stumble and I fall
I may not be what you want
but you're all I need

For better or worse
If this love's a blessing or a curse
And whatever happens from now on
I'll carry you with me when I'm gone
gone
gone

I need you to stay
I need you to stay
For richer for poorer
You make my heart soar

If our picture fades, will love go away
This scares me
You're the heart in my chest
when my world falls apart
Oasis in the dry spell of extraordinary thought

You perplex me so completely
I know you need me, and
I need you to stay
I need you to stay with me
I need you to stay
Stay

In sickness and health, so long as we both shall live
I need you to stay

Letters From a Dying Lover

Don't let me fall asleep tonight
without kissing you goodbye
This may be the last night
we can be like this

We can't live forever
every moment's a treasure
you carry with you when I'm gone
Don't wait to hold onto a loss that only kills you faster
I don't wanna go, but one day we all will

Don't let me fall asleep tonight
without kissing you goodbye
This may be the last night
we can be like this
Kiss me goodnight when twilight comes
try not to forget our days in the sun
The same I see when I go from the days before we met to now

This is a letter from a dying lover


Live with no regrets, moving on is so much better when you don't forget
You carry me with you and I you and I you
Kiss me goodnight
Kiss me goodnight
Kiss me goodnight

((It's been a while since I updated this. I might as well let you know what I'm working on. I've taken a huge liking to Perfume's Sweet Refrain and am trying to write my own version of the English lyrics to capture the essence and feeling of the song better. http://www.kashigasa.com/perfume-sweet-refrain-lyrics-english-translation-romaji.html If you know Japanese and want to help with corrections and syllable count, feel free to. I might sound like a terrible weaboo. I could use the help. o: Please do. ))

Everything I've forgotten since we started out
It Comes rushing back to me, in a grand epiphany
The dream I lived for so long ago, to this day
I stop and wonder if it's still burning bright  

[Saikii]

Nightmares and Memories: (Under construction and restructuring): ((This one is actually a story involving my pony OC: Lumi. She gets trapped (in her subconscious) by this villainous and power hungry creature called a dream eater that wants to enter the waking world by devouring the dreamer in order to get to more dreamers))

Wake up where I can't remember
Is it July or is it December?
Voice is calling me. I'm not alone.

Save me before I lose control ((Dream Eater: I want to devour you whole))
I want a place where I can feel at home
My friends are the only light that I know
The only ones I trust you must go
save me, before I lose control ((Dream Eater: This pain runs deeper than you know! ))

((Dream Eater: In three days time, I'll own you whole))
I can't lose, I won't give you control
((Scream: I can be anything you see! ))
I can't trust what's in front of me!
Gotta find a place it's safe to be
Maybe something's in my memory

((Dream Eater: I won't make this easy
for as you can see, I've got a plan
You'll just have to work with me))

I won't give up on my heart
I want a place where I can feel at home
But I can't get that when I'm alone
His voice echoing in my mind
leading me to memories inside

((Dream Eater: You made mistakes you can't erase ))
I can't erase that one mistake
((Dream Eater: It's not so easy to forget))
My one single regret

Have I not gotten over it yet?

Save me before I lose control ((Dream Eater: I want to devour you whole))
I want a place where I can feel at home
My friends are the only light that I know
The only ones I trust you must go
Save me, before I lose control ((Dream Eater: This pain runs deeper than you know! ))

The world gets smaller without you
I can't remember, what will I do

Save me before I lose control (( Dream Eater: I want to devour you whole! ))
My friends have brought me to my senses
You and I know life's the expense
Can't die now! We've got to fight this!
Stand together, we can do this

((Dream Eater: How can I lose to such a foal!))
You'll never devour us whole!
((Dream Eater: No matter I've still got control ))
Like hell, you don't, I remember
Was it the second night in December
Caught within a magic attack
That was the deal, we win
You can't take back!
