Hey guy's, it's your in and out writer with a new lyrics piece for you. A little story on this song. I started it almost 6 months ago when me and a very very close friend were fighting. Her boyfriend was causing issues and I was the only one willing to speak up. Anyways, their fine now and so are we. But as for the song, it remained half finished for all of 6 months and then a week ago I decided I wanted to finish it... and well I did. Here it is, song number... what... 21 now? Enjoy and remember, if you read, tell me what you think I welcome critics. I can't get better if I don't know what to work on Here it is. Oh and feel free to post idea's for the title. I'm open to suggestions.

Forgotten Angel(working title)
Copyright Colin Hickel, 2010. 9. 27.

I try to tell you how I feel
You look the other way
I feel like I'm now choking on my feathers
You look at me with disappointment dripping from your face
But can't you see you put me in this place
I said I'd always be there
But you don't need me anymore
Now I'm just angel with no future
I guess this is the point when I step back and wave you on your way

And say, "Girl, no matter where you are,
I'll always be there for you when you call me."
And even though I've moved along and let you on your way
I'll always be the Angel who is on this earth to stay
The one who carried you and held your hand to pray
And traded in his wings for one who got away....

Now I see you found your man
And you show him off so proud
It seems like I have done my job too perfect
What you didn't see when I had carried you through your pain
Is that I fell for you too hard to leave your side until today
I said I'd always be there
But you don't need me anymore
Now I'm just angel with no future
I guess this is the point when I step back and wave you on your way

And say, "Girl, no matter where you are,
I'll always be there for you when you call me."
And even though I've moved along and let you on your way
I'll always be the Angel who is on this earth to stay
The one who carried you and held your hand to pray
And traded in his wings for one who got away...
Remember, Girl, no matter where you are,
I'll always be there for you when you call me.
And even though I've moved along and let you on your way
I'll always be the Angel who is on this earth to stay
The one who carried you and held your hand to pray
And traded in his wings for one who got away.....

I said I'd always be there
But you don't need me anymore
Now I'm just angel with no future
I guess this is the point when I step back and wave you on your way

When I See You
Copyright Colin Hickel, 2010. 7. 16.

I see you and my heart it soars
Uncontrollably
Touch you and my body roars
It's you I wanna need
Hold you and my soul just pours
The emotions can't be seen
I wanna hold you to our course
Our hands locked peacefully

Our lives have crossed so gracefully.
Falling into place like ABC
Living life accordingly
As we work for a common dream
And what the future holds in store
Waits for us to open that door
But as for us I can say this
Its sure electric when we kiss...

So yeah, I know, I don't know much
Like what life will throw our way
All I know is when with you
Time stands still so I can say....

I see you and my heart it soars
Uncontrollably
Touch you and my body roars
It's you I wanna need
Hold you and my soul just pours
The emotions can't be seen
I wanna hold you to our course
Our hands locked peacefully

Girl, with us, what do you see
Do you see what we could be
The threads of time sown perfectly
And woven us together like a melody
So tell me this and make it clear
Do you hear the music I can hear
Do the words play through you mind
Like they do inside of mine

So yeah, I know, I don't know much
Like what life will throw our way
All I know is when with you
Time stands still so I can say....

I see you and my heart it soars
Uncontrollably
Touch you and my body roars
It's you I wanna need
Hold you and my soul just pours
The emotions can't be seen
I wanna hold you to our course
Our hands locked peacefully
Oh, I see you and my heart it soars
Uncontrollably
Touch you and my body roars
It's you I wanna need
Hold you and my soul just pours
The emotions can't be seen
I wanna hold you to our course
Our hands locked oh so peacefully

Hey Ampers... Long time no post. After watching this site nearly die, I stopped coming around as much as I did in the past... but today I decided to write and so I did... the only problem? half-way through the song, a friend interrupted my thought process and I lost all focus on the song... I was able to finish it, as you can see, but I don't think it turned out like I hoped. As usual, if you read, please comment. It's not hard and it is greatly appreciated this time... and it is kinda needed for once because for the first time, I'm not to sure about how a song I wrote turned out... Thanks for your time and have a nice day

The Penalty for Lying is Success
Copyright Colin Hickel, 2009. 11. 1.

I look you in the eyes
As the thought runs through my mind
And I try to find the words that I...
Should never say, never say
And all I am within
Proved my ever dying sin
And now I hope that you will never know

To all the people torn by spoken words
And all my friends who stood against the herds
But in all the truth my phrases can't be trusted
And to all that I misled, I can no longer feel my lost regret
No longer feel my lost regret

What do you wish me to say
With words I've spoken everyday
When my whole life is built upon...
My faulty lies, faulty lies
Now I've fallen to my grave
And my words no longer save
As my lies are transferred all across the world

Now to all the people torn by spoken words
And all my friends who stood against the herds
In all the truth my phrases can't be trusted
And to all that I misled, I can no longer feel my lost regret
No longer feel my lost regret

And to all the hero's tossed into the wind
To the villain's praised for the lies they've locked within
I know the life you lead ends in disaster
And to all that I misled, I feel all my lost regret
And to all that I misled, I feel all my lost regret

Now I'm sorry for my lies
And the truths I tried to hide
But my closet skeletons...
now overflow, overflow
And I'm sorry for your tears
Caused by the momentary fears
And the frequency of my brand new moral crimes
And now I'm sorry for my lies
And the truths I tried to hide
But my closet skeletons...
now overflow, overflow
And I'm sorry for your tears
Caused by the momentary fears
And the frequency of my brand new moral crimes

Here it is, my newest song. I've been here for about a year or so now and its been pretty interesting to watch as the longer I am here, the less people pay attention to my new stuff :p but hey, that happens every where well anyways, this is song number 18 and don't ask me how I came up with this because I HAVE NO CLUE hahaha :p As always, PLEASE comment and tell me what you think if you read this. It helps me a lot and it feels good to get any sort of criticism, good or bad, because it helps me grow and get better. Thanks for your time, enjoy the lyrics, and have a great day

Steam Driven Romeo
Copyright Colin Hickel, 2009. 8. 29.

Gears creak
Rumbling his body to life
Heart shrieks
Letting out the steam from inside
Silver skin
Shimmering in everyone's eyes
He's just a tin man stuck in modern day life

So we laugh and prod the people like him
When all that separates is the loss within

So he lives each day while the people stare
Acting like he doesn't care
But what echo's within is not his grinding gears
It's the screaming words of his fellow peers
And each part within has a story to tell
from his cold steel lungs to his oil well
But whats making his body go
Its the screaming heart of this Steam Driven Romeo

Our hearts
They keeps us all from falling apart
His story starts
When he lost this one key part
Gave it away
Early, to a girl to gain her trust
And now his stuck pumping blood through the cold red rust

So we laugh and prod the people like him
When all that keeps us different is the loss within

So he lives each day while the people stare
Acting like he doesn't care
But what echo's within is not his grinding gears
It's the screaming words of his fellow peers
And each part within has a story to tell
from his cold steel lungs to his oil well
But whats making his body go
Its the screaming heart of this Steam Driven Romeo

He gave away his heart way to many time
Falling harder still with each new pretty rhyme
Giving each new part a good test run time
Before pawning off the next piece of his moral crime

And so we laugh and prod the people like him
When all that keeps us different is the loss within

And he lives each day while the people stare
Acting like he doesn't care
But what echo's within is not his grinding gears
It's the screaming words of his fellow peers
And he lives each day while the people stare
Trying his best to act as he doesn't care
But with each brand new phrase bouncing around inside
It's not not long before they catch and his body dies
And so he lives each day while the people stare
Acting like he doesn't care
But what echo's within is not his grinding gears
It's the screaming words of his fellow peers
And each part within has a story to tell
from his cold steel lungs to his oil well
But whats making his body go
Its the screaming heart of this Steam Driven Romeo

Ello my loving fans.... i mean fan(yes, Invisible Tim, I mean you)... Here it is, my newest, most amazingly.... i don't know where i was going with that but anyways..... SONG NUMBER 17!!!!! DUN DUN DUN!!!!! Well anyways, this song was spawned when thinking up names that would be cool band names and I came up with this songs name and thought it sounded cool, so i wrote a song based on that phrase... It was difficult since I'm still in my creative slump, i even resorted to tactics I've never used before to finish this song... I hop you all like it. It's funny though, recently, my songs have been getting a lot less attention, and well idk what that means but I'm not gonna let that stop me, more songs will be coming. Now if i may ask as always(even though you never do it) if you read, please reply, tell me what you think. It's really not that hard.  I hope you like it, enjoy and have a nice day(or if you're around me, a nice night)

Last Call for your Dreams of Disaster
Copyright Colin Hickel, 2009. 8. 20.

Our lives our filled with the drama we let in
Our whole lives spent searching for that one special person
We scream and moan when no ones willing to listen
As we fall from the sky while the stars sit and glisten

'Cause it's the last call for your dreams of disaster
Will you let her fall or are you willing to catch her
If you catch her now, she will just pull you down faster
But it's the last call for your dreams of disaster
Yeah it's the last call for your dreams of disaster

You walk by the store and her eyes start their shining
A stroll past the bands and her pupils are fixing
It's clear that what she wants is something you're missing
She wants that diamond studded ring and a beautiful wedding

Now it's the last call for your dreams of disaster
Will you let her fall or are you willing to catch her
If you catch her now, she will just pull you down faster
But it's the last call for your dreams of disaster
Yeah it's the last call for your dreams of disaster

She's got a hold and she is not letting go
Of your freewill and your shrinking ego
So will you drop her or go with the flow
You better choose before your mind goes and blows

'Cause it's the last call for your dreams of disaster
Will you let her fall or are you willing to catch her
If you catch her now, she will just pull you down faster
But it's the last call for your dreams of disaster
Yeah it's the last call for your dreams of disaster
Now that's the last call for your dreams of disaster
So I guess that after all, you decided to catch her
Brace yourself boy because you're falling much faster
But that's the last call for your dreams of disaster
Yeah that's the last call for your dreams of disaster
