Unbroken

I'd had the chorus to this kicking around for ages, but no verses to put it with. Then I started writing a seperate song called Unbroken, and I decided to give it this chorus. It was actually fun writing this, it looks like a tortured piece of post-grunge, but in reality its not much more than a nonsense poem disguised to look like that. Although that said, it does include some things that were going on in my life at the time (mostly my lovelife, as usual), but I exagerrated the hell of them, threw in some culture references (everything from the crucifixion to The Simpsons to Humpty Dumpty to mummification to Grease to Law), and a lot of bitter sounding humour, and this is the result. It's nothing too amazing, but its pretty fun I reckon. Comments as always are welcome.

Unbroken - March - May 2006

You can hold my face underwater until my mind starts to shut down
Nail me to a cross and make me wear a thorny crown
Hold me dead to rights for all the pain that I have caused
Saw me right in half to the sound of canned applause
You can hang me out to dry with the line around my throat
Skin me alive and then wear me as a coat
You can hold me scold me take me hate me
Do just what you will
You can rip me whip me beat me eat me
Until youve had your fill

Pre-chorus:
Come dish out what you cant take
Im in my haven, these walls wont break
I will be here, unbroken

Chorus:
Dont hold me down just hold me
Dont hold me down just hold me
Dont hold me down just hold me
DONT HOLD ME DOWN JUST FUCKING HOLD ME!

Promise me your heart only to give it to my best friend
Promise to be reckless when I know thats not what you intend
Press against me close to make me think I stand a chance
Say the Tango De La Muerte is the only way we'll dance
Push me off a wall and then not call all the Kings men
Pull my heart out through my nose and then do it all again
Shower me with kisses made of steel tipped clarity
Tell me that I never meant to you as you to me
You can cut me you can fuck me
But I wish that youd just love me!

Pre-chorus:
Spread your message full of pain
My love for you will still remain
Always and forever, unbroken

Chorus:
Dont hold me down just hold me
Dont hold me down just hold me
Dont hold me down just hold me
DONT HOLD ME DOWN JUST FUCKING HOLD ME!

I know what you want and
You know what I need
So come on please feed me
Everything you are
I need it
Im sleeping
You know what Im dreaming
You're scheming
Im screaming!
Your name from afar
And I cant be your man
If you dont know who I am
But if you do then tell me
Cos I want to say
Goodbye to who I was
And so long, and get lost
Then be introduced to
Who I am today

Pre-chorus:
I am safe inside my mind
And if youre in then we can find
A way to stay, unbroken

Chorus:
Dont hold me down just hold me
Dont hold me down just hold me
Dont hold me down just hold me
DONT HOLD ME DOWN JUST FUCKING HOLD ME!
JUST FUCKING HOLD ME!
JUST FUCKING HOLD ME!
Just hold me!
Just hold me! Just hold me! Just hold me! Just hold me!
Just hold me! Just hold me!
Hold me!
