Array ( [sid] => 31914 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Unbidden [time] => 2004-01-17 02:30:18 [hometext] => I wrote this trying to describe how it feels like when you have no control over your own mind. Feedback is always cool, let me know what you think of this. [bodytext] => Indistinct shadows creep
Across my mind (uninvited)
Strangers force their way
Through my door (unwelcome)
They come and go as they please
And I don't know
Who they are
Is it them or is it me
Inhabiting this brain?

Bridge:
Scarcely have I found myself
Then they come again
(and rape my soul)
To conquer me and silence me
But I don't find it
Intoxicating

Chorus:
Nightmares of a girl, I do declare
(Unbidden)
You're not welcome here, I said
(Unbidden)
But through it all, you laugh at me
And smile and haunt and kill again
If I fight, I lose
If I breathe, I fade
Who brought you here? (Unbidden)

The answers aren't clear to me today
Where once this pathway was for me
It's now jammed with feet
that stomp on me
I don't recognize any of you
And I, I'm forced to lay low

Chorus:
Nightmares of a girl, I do declare
(Unbidden)
You're not welcome here, I said
(Unbidden)
But through it all, you laugh at me
And smile and haunt and kill again
If I fight, I lose
If I breathe, I fade
Who brought you here? (Unbidden)

What do I do to make you leave?
Drive the sharpest needle into you?

Pour the hottest lava over you?
Break my heart into pieces
And sacrifice you?
This road is so long and I have to brave it
With you.

Bridge:
Scarcely have I found myself
Then they come again
(and rape my soul)
To conquer me and silence me
But I don't find it
Intoxicating.

Chorus:
Nightmares of a girl, I do declare
(Unbidden)
You're not welcome here, I said
(Unbidden)
But through it all, you laugh at me
And smile and haunt and kill again
If I fight, I lose
If I breathe, I fade
Who brought you here? (Unbidden)

This is a great song! It really works as a SONG too. I like how throughout the whole peice your mind wants to relate it to so many things, good job man.

Excellent write if I may say so myself.
"If I fight, I lose, If I breathe, I fade." - totally love your words in this song. Goes well.
Take care.
