Descent Into Despair

by Prince Pheonix

/
1.
Some say, suicide is painless But for me it hurt like hell That slow descending slope into Craziness and that dying breath Your mind can’t imagine the Detailed things that ran through mine, like What will happen to me when this is over? Or is this really what it feels like? This is my descent into despair Portrayed through music My friend and my only love Throughout my life, or so it seemed Some think everything is perfect But look around and you’ll see that’s not true People run about in panic As our beautiful world crashes down This is my descent into despair Portrayed through music My friend and my only love Throughout my life, or so it seemed The torture I’ve been through is much worse than death Let me tell you, some see death as the end But seeing as my life has been a never-ending journey full of pain I see it as my release This is my descent into despair Portrayed through music My friend and my only love Throughout my life (Throughout my life) Or so it seemed Some say, suicide is painless Not for me, it hurt like hell

Paranoia 05:09
(Paranoia, Paranoia) (Paranoia, Paranoia) Shadows on the wall, stare at me while I’m sleeping, sweet dreams Fierce dark red eyes, oh they fix on me in the night-time I see all the demons of hell come through the floorboards, around me I can feel their claws, sharp and dark, surround me, oh they surround me I can’t help but feel alone In this twilight hour Supposedly all nice and warm To fight the battles of paranoia (Paranoia, Paranoia) (Paranoia, Paranoia) I’ve become so tired, staying up waiting for them to hurt me How can I survive this when everyone just deserts me All this has to end, but how can I stop it? I must find a way, somehow I must control it, I must control it I can’t help but feel alone In this twilight hour Supposedly all nice and warm To fight the battles of paranoia (Paranoia, Paranoia) (Paranoia, Paranoia) The doctors they’ve done all they can Prescriptions of medication But nobody seems to understand What I’m going through (Paranoia, Paranoia) (Paranoia, Paranoia) I can’t help but feel alone In this twilight hour Supposedly all nice and warm To fight the battles of paranoia (Paranoia, Paranoia)

My Wish 04:42
(Someone grant it, someone grant it for me) (Someone grant it, someone grant it for me) I have so many things, floating round in my head Some have their reasons, others are dead Thoughts from my past that want to remain Infecting my body and killing my brain I think I need to purge To start again, anew That is my wish But it won’t come true (Someone grant it, someone grant it for me) (Someone grant it, someone grant it for me) I’d love to start, my whole life again Some things I’d change and some keep the same But that’ll never happen, well not for me I’ve come to far now, to go back in history I think I need to purge To start again, anew That is my wish But it won’t come true (Someone grant it, someone grant it for me) It won't come true, it won't come true! (Someone grant it, someone grant it for me) In my past I’ve wished for difficult things But I don’t see what’s wrong with this Compared to my other wishes this one’s easy Someone grant it for me I think I need to purge To start again, anew That is my wish But it won’t come true (Someone grant it, someone grant it for me) (Someone grant it, someone grant it for me)

(The life of a balladeer, is a sad one) (The life of a balladeer, is just for me) I'm one of those people who, write songs for everybody else Never once have I, written one for myself People think I'm happy, but I can't cry anymore This smile that you see, doesn't live here permanently The life of a balladeer is a sad one, that's true Singing songs and telling stories, just for you Songs about love and stories about life Well if you don't mind here's the one for me (The life of a balladeer, is a sad one) (The life of a balladeer, is just for me) You won't believe the things I've seen, they would break your heart The world has opened my eyes, to give me a head start I've known people that've died, famous and others close to me I hope I live a long time, so I can keep making other people happy The life of a balladeer is a sad one, that's true Singing songs and telling stories, just for you Songs about love and stories about life Well if you don't mind here's the one for me (The life of a balladeer, is a sad one) The only thing that keeps me going is the faces of people passing by The emotions they show make me smile Every balladeer knows that their songs must have a meaning That's why I base mine on true life The life of a balladeer is a sad one, that's true Singing songs and telling stories, just for you Songs about love and stories about life Well if you don't mind here's the one for me (The life of a balladeer, is a sad one) (The life of a balladeer, is a sad one) (The life of a balladeer, is a sad one) (The life of a balladeer, is just for me)

Like an artist starts with an empty canvas, I start with a blank page An artist writes his ideas down in pencil and I do the same You could say this is my masterpiece Before it’s even been written ‘Cause I am an artist, I take pride in my work, When no-one else does I can paint with love and emotion; it’s the only way I know So sit down and relax and listen to The painting that comes from the mouth My two hands are my two brushes that dance along the keys They mark out the lines I must follow To paint my masterpiece Every artist need inspiration and I get mine from you ‘Cause I am an artist, I take pride in my work When no-one else does I can paint with love and emotion; it’s the only way I know So sit down and relax and listen to The painting that comes from the mouth How happy I’d be if I could paint a picture just like you The portrait of beauty that you are You have all the right strokes in all the right places Mona Lisa has nothing on you ‘Cause you are a painting with pride in your artist And it really shows You have been painted with love and emotion It makes you unique So I’ll sit down and enjoy Every minute I spend with you

Medicine 05:38
(Ooh ooh ooh) (Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ohh) (Ooh ooh ooh) (Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ohh) (Ran out of you) (Ran out of you) One day my heart stopped beating, I went to the doctors they said they could do nothing. But on the way home, I met you. When I looked into your eyes, You did something to me, And now all I can say is... You are my medicine, You keep me strong when I am weak. When you’re around, I stay alive. I don’t know, no, I don’t know what I would do if I ever ran out of you. (Ooh ooh ooh) (Ran out of you) (Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ohh) (Ooh ooh ooh) (Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ohh) I went back to the doctors and they said “No more, there’s no prescription for love. You better watch how you use it, ‘Cause the truth is it’s a powerful drug.” And now… You are my medicine, You keep me strong when I am weak. When you’re around, I stay alive. I don’t know, no, I don’t know what I would do if I ever ran out of you. Now I’m looking on every street corner for the dealer Who can sell me some “love”. See the problem is you’re just too good to be legal, But god knows I’ll pay the price You are my medicine, You keep me strong when I am weak. When you’re around, I stay alive. I don’t know, no, I don’t know what I would do if I ever ran out of you. (Ooh ooh ooh) (Ran out of you) (Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ohh) (Ooh ooh ooh) (Ran out of you) (Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ohh) (Ran out of you) (Ooh ooh ooh) (Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ohh)

I should’ve done my research before I let my heart loose on you Now my feelings are at the point of no return I should’ve known that you’d be with someone else So how come I couldn’t see that So one, two, here I go To show how much I care I’ll say that I love you And watch it go no where But in and out of your heart In and out of your heart In and out of your heart Like a fool Everyone knows that the heart process’ love instantaneously Emotion flows through your body round your veins When you see that girl you want to spend the rest of your life with You tell her how you feel So one, two, here I go To show how much I care I’ll say that I love you And watch it go no where But in and out of your heart In and out of your heart In and out of your heart Like a fool A fool (Fool) I’m an emotional fool (Fool) Just a fool (Fool) I’m an emotional fool for you (Fool) A fool (Fool) I’m an emotional fool (Fool) Just a fool (Fool) I’m an emotional fool for you (Fool)

about

Prince Pheonix Runcorn, UK

Began to write music upon turning 12, Starting a debut album Birth Of The Bird near the time my grandma passed on. Consisting of songs based on real life events that happened during early 2008, with later albums, continuing along that theme. I produce songs that are full of emotion, so they end up becoming stories more than songs. ... more
