Party of One

A guy I used to know named Jason Hauser wrote the first verse & chorus, and asked me to write more. I didn't really follow his style, but it turned out alright. Please keep in mind, I was really into NIN at this time & Tool was one of my new favorites. Very dark & sad, really. Too much blow & alchohol, methinks! Well, at least the alchohol. And the blow. Really, it was the blow. Did I mention the blow?


Party of One

I lay myself down once again,
taken back by the voices in my head.
The speak of sin...and I
make my way back to old temptation,
give into new sensations,
spending time by myself I think I'll turn the lights down.....

(Chorus I)
And is the what I've become?
A broken man come undone?
Chewing on glass and wood and stone, I sup away...
No second chances, I've missed my first..
Things seem better but just get worse,
no time for layin' to waste.
And I'm runnin' late for my....
Party of One
(End Chorus I)

Can it be I've misplaced myself?
I cry out, but no one wants to help.
Alone again, trapped in this sphere,
I close my eyes and disappear.
The hours of life pass swiftly by,
I close my eyes & begin to cry...

I can't remember the past I had,
I bide my time and slowly go mad.
The voices grow louder from time to time,
ancient songs that invade my mind.
I scream in pain, agony, & rage,
Knowing my life has reached the last page.

(Chorus II)
It's all over, the damage is done,
I find myself aching for the heat of the sun.
With open eyes, the light blinds my soul.
I try to resist, but have no control.
I brace myself for the paint that's to come,
the hurt that becomes my party of one.
(End Chorus II)


So, yeah, that was really Trent Reznor, eh? Thought this would be entertain me, or you, or somebody. And is it just me, or do I really like the word "sphere"? I mean, if I could use it more than once in a song, I think the whole song would be named "Sphere". Anyhoo, enjoy, will post some original new shite soon!
