Red, White, and You

Red ribbons, garland of gold

Pine trees glisten in the cold

Stars high up in the sky

Christmas is in the air

But the wind is cold without you

Snowflakes, clean and white

Colours blocking my sight

Jolly jingles sound all around

Cups of hot chocolate

Try to warm my soul

But everything feels stale without you



Presents wrapped in red & green

Christmas stockings with jelly beans

Happy children dancing around

Life with colour all around

But it’s grey without you



Love enough to fill an ocean

Christmas is a magic potion

Everything so white and serene

Christmas means love

But I feel alone without you



Candy canes, chocolate, and pie

When families draw nigh

Carols are sung

The fun has just begun

Cause it’s Christmas night



I was cold, blind, and alone

Searching for Christmas

Until one day I found Christmas

In a lonely corner

That was when I met you….

I'm yours...forever

I never saw you cry
I never stopped the drops
That were clearly from down within
I never stopped the inner thunder
That sought to ruin your day

Forgive me, I'm such a fool
I never meant to be so cruel
I never wanted to hurt you
You can curse me, I deserve it
I can see the pain spilling out of your lips
I want to stop the rain from falling

I'm yours........forever

I felt you bleed all night long
I saw the drops fall
The blanket covered you so strongly
I fucking never meant no wrong
But now I see how bad the wound is

Forgive me, I'm such a fool
I never meant to be so cruel
I never wanted to hurt you
You can curse me, I deserve it
I can see the pain spilling out of your lips
I want to stop the rain from falling

I felt the waves crash over your head
And seek to drown you
I tried to save you
I fucking tried to save you
But I was left in the dark

Forgive me, I'm such a fool
I never meant to be so cruel
I never wanted to hurt you
You can curse me, I deserve it
I can see the pain spilling out of your lips
I want to stop the rain from falling

My lips are burning from what I said
My words are forming but their not coming my way
I want to touch you, but you seem so far away
I want to save you, but I have no way

Forgive me, I'm such a fool
I never meant to be so cruel
I never wanted to hurt you
You can curse me, I deserve it
I can see the pain spilling out of your lips

I bleed to see you smile, I hate to see you cry
I just want to hold you
I want to get you out of this hell
That they call home

I'm yours, I'm so fucking yours!

Lay back let me heal your wounds
Draw back the tears cause I cant stand another drop

I'm yours, I'm so fucking yours!

Forgive me, I never wanted to have to stay
If you want we can runaway
I want you to know...

I'M YOURS, IM SO FUCKING YOURS!

Blue Circles

Blue circles..circle around our overheated bodies
Touches of complete ecstasy
Kisses begging for response
Stuck in this world of
Everything from desire to love to need

Waiting, taking it slow
Yet not letting go
Not letting your soul
The privilege of going
Out of control

Whispers whispering
Things that make your imagination run wild
And your fingers touch
Places that senses
Dare not go

What you do to me
What I do to you
Leaves the soul
Clenching, wanting
Not willing to be left alone
But crazy enough to ask for more

Day goes to night
But neither of us leaves each other’s sight
Love spills from every hole
And is immediately absorbed in the soul.

Back in Swing

Ever since the middle of August things have been hectic, to say the least. Things that were almost a given were suddenly crowded out by work, work, and work.

And more work.

Oh well. Such is life. Of this backward lyricist.

I’ve been able to put some of my songs to music, which I’m very much looking forward to producing. I like to think of myself as a solo artist .. and one who has no equipment whatsoever at that .. but hey, it’s the thought that counts no?

All that to say .. I’m back. In full swing.

…That gives me an idea.

The end

Here I lie
In my pain, with my disguise
Shadows, cold and dark
Hide you from me
I need someone here
A touch would suffice

Reach out your hand
Just one touch
Would be enough
To save my life
Kill the pain
Walking alone in the rain

I cry in this place
Of total desolation
The lovely feeling of desolation
Being the only one alone in this world
Just kill the pain…
Tell me in not insane
Bring me back to life

Hold my hand
As we walk through this world
Ever rejected
I have you
You have me
Oh just kill the pain
Wipe the tears
And hold me near
..Just please don’t ever let me go….

bon anniversaire.

My fellow deux-dichter is having his birthday today, so I wanted to write something in honour of him. Well, I don't know you half as well as I'd like to, but what I do know is that your freaking hilarious, creative, smart, musical, an amazing song writer, caring, and sweet as lollipops.

I hope that we can meet and be real "buddies for keeps," I hope that your inspiration never dies and that you may always find and achieve what you're looking for in life.

I love you lots!!

In My Dream

Since I was 10 I had black-outs, due to not enough circulation of blood to my brain. Sometimes I've seen things and remembered them. One time, I saw a forest area with lots of grass and giant trees. Butterflies flew all around me, and the whole area gave me the feeling of tranquility. One day while on an outing, I ended up in that exact place..with this nostalgic, deja-vu-ish feeling, I knew I'd been to this place, though not knowing how or when. Everyone was telling me I was wrong, but deep down inside I knew I'd been there before..........


In My Dream

Trees, tall as giants
Reaching up into the sky
Butterflies fly beautifully
All around me
This place of utter tranquility
This place I lie
In my dreams
Voices whisper to me
But not audible enough
To understand

I wake up
But the vision is still vivid
In my mind
I don’t believe it to be true
Or to find it in the blue

Aimlessly walking
Clearly I see this place
I feel I’ve known for a lifetime
I know it well
Though I don’t know how
It has trees tall as giants
Butterflies fill the air
So peaceful and serene
In the grass I lie
Voices whisper to me
But not audible enough to understand

I’m living my dream
I’m feeling it come to life
They all say I’m wrong
But I know
I feel
That I’ve been here before
In my dream..

-Votredame

You

This is the first song I ever wrote .. I now present it to you in its original form! :D

You

You gave me light in my eyes
You gave me reason to live life
You're the wind in my existence
You’re what keeps me alive

I feigned a sense of direction
Like I knew my way, yet with no perception
Of life and its complexities, intricacies
Mystery and confusion lay before me

Time stood still
Peace of mind nowhere to be found
My mind distorted, my soul contorted
I fall, I faint, I fail, I fall to the ground

Then I met you and my eyes were opened
Purpose and reason reappeared
You showed me there was more
You dispelled my fears, made my life clear

You calmed my broken mind
The color in the worlds of gray
Through the sleepless nights you were repose
You're more than I could ever portray

Hold my hand
We walk arm in arm
We’ll leave our footprints in the sand

Side by side
There is no way I can leave you
Please just understand

You're everything

You’re Everything

I’ve been dreaming all day
Missing you in every way
Yet more & more each day
The pain is choking every attempt
And it’s getting harder to breathe
Checking the sky for a clue
Needing desperately to hear to you
Searching for you
Through the looking glass

Find me here
Night or day
It don’t matter much to me
As long as I will be with you
Just you & me…. Forever

I need to hear you
I need to feel you
When there’s darkness I’ll be your light
when there’s pain
I’ll be your comfort
I’m willing to give my life
I’m willing to sacrifice

Find me here
Night or day
It don’t matter much to me
As long as I will be with you
Just you & me…. Forever

(I miss you more than life)….

Sleepless Nights

Sleepless nights are my only
Constant companion
I’ve loved you dear
Cherished each waking moment
But at night
Its just me and my pain

The darkness, stillness
Awakened a deep desire
To write my heart
These sleepless nights
How they comfort me

I want dreams
To be able to rest
But the night is my playground
Tonight it’s just me
And my constant pain

You’re all I have left
I know you’ll be there
When all else has died
To you I confide
My deepest secrets

Sleepless nights
My new obsession
How I long for the night
To cradle me
With all its pain

When its night
I feel my mind ablaze
And my heart is frozen
Tonight
It’s just me and my pain

One of the Deux

Welcome once again to the Deux-Dichter.

Ever since I can remember I have always had a love for music. Being an avid guitar player, around a year ago I decided to write my first song and have been writing ever since. We will bring our lyrics to you fresh on this blog and we hope you enjoy it. Feel free to send me any comments or suggestions on my lyrics :D

Bon appétit.

One of the Deux

To start this blog off, I will introduce you to one of the Deux-Dichter. I've been writing lyrics for awhile now and recently found someone who is also a lyricist, so we decided to make a blog dedicated to our lyrics. I hope you enjoy the lyrics, and find a place to wake up to everyday with something new.
We may not be wonderful, but we write from the heart. May you also read from your heart.
