Nowadays By:Ethan Chappell January 2005
Can’t let this get to me
It’s falling apart beneath me
If only others could see
It’s hurting me severely
The stuff I try to hide
It’s all inside
Eating away at my pride
But I won’t fall
In front of you all
I’ll stand long
Stand strong
You may think I’m a fool
You know what SCREW YOU TOO
High school changed it all
Walking up and down these halls
Seeing people I think I know
But they too have things not shown
Why can’t it be like before
Before we came through these doors
Everyday waiting for that damn bell
Everyday waiting to leave this hell
When I’m finally home
I’m finally alone
To sit in solitude
Listening to some tunes
Or play guitar
But it’s never enough
To make it go away
It stays and haunts me
Everyday
Everyday The Same By: Ethan Chappell January 2005
Everyday I sit and wait
Sit and quake
Waiting for it to end
Ending all else
Here I sit alone
Not waiting for much
No one ever phones
No one comes and goes
Here I lie
With headphones on
Waiting for this feeling
To be gone
This feeling that overcomes
This feeling that numbs
Bringing pain and sorrow
Not a chance
Of a better tomorrow
So it remains the same
Never to change
All by myself
In this game of life
Unable to quit
Unable to win
And it’s making everything
Fall into a spin
When it’s finally done
I look for the one
The one who can save me
From where I stand
And take me away
Away from these badlands
While I look
I’m being cautious
But all this searching
It’s making me nauseous
Retribution By: Ethan Chappell August 2nd 2005
when will we learn that crime doesnt pay
when will we learn to just go on with our day
there are people who fight and steal to survive
we try to help them but they just strive and strive
for more than they have and more than they need
theyve wasted their lives away trying to plead
but theyve learned that its a harsh world out there
and to get what they want they just take and dont care
of the feelings they hurt or the people they wound
all they care of is getting away and doing it soon
when people get caught they just try to fight
even knowing that theyve got no chance in this life
they try and run to get somewhere safe
where they just plan to once again take someones place
even if they succeed and get what they need
they know it will never be enough to start clean
with all the damage theyve done and the lives that theyve hurt
even though they know there lower than dirt
maybe if we hope theres a chance that theyll change
and even more so that the changes remain
even with the changes that there able to make
the thought of the past still makes their hearts quake
and as long as they live theyll do good for mankind
but the damage theyve done in the past is still in their mind
the day that they die they hope its enough
enough so that god expresses to them his love
to be allowed into heaven through that wide open gate
hoping for a second chance at life they stay there an wait
This World We Live In Is Nothing But Violence
We All Need To Put An End To This Madness
Cant You See These Inocent Lives That We Take
The Multiple Lives That We Make And Break
To Live With The Things That We Need
You Selfish Pricks Cant You See
You Take From others To Get What You Want
All You Care About Is Yourself But Not
These People Who Try To Help Another Out
You Take Them Out Of The Picture Because You Dont Care
Because Your A Heartless Fiend
Who Doesnt Deserve To Be Called A Human Being
When All Along The Guy Trying To Help
He Knows He Has No Chance But Still He Steps Up
Knowing He May Not Walk Away To Live His Life
To Make His Dreams Come True
You Dont Care About Him But We All Do
We Care More About Him Than Anyone Will For You
Hell Be Remembered Forever In Our Hearts
With The Pain Of Being Pounded By Darts
All He Ever Wanted Was To Get A Good Education
Just To Support A Family Who Loves Him
You Can Try But Youll Never Amount To Nothin
You Could Never Be Half The Man He Was
But It Doesnt Matter Now That Hes Gone
Now That Hes Goneto A Better Place
Hes Left This Hell Of A Place Behind
