Mack's songs shall go here. MWAHAHA!

Indeed they shall......

Alright these are my songs...they are not completely done, and I need to figure out the music. This first and third songs have a System of a Down kind of feel (minor key).

Emerge From the Darkness by Mack Rivkin

Here I am asleep
Waiting for the sun to rise
Dreaming of another day
Through these half-open eyes

Emerging from the darkness
Pushing away the black night
Staring up into the sun
Reaching out towards the light

I am emerging from the darkness...
(guitar fill)
Emerging from the darkness...
Emerging...emerging...
Emerging from the darkness

I emerge through this dark hole
Reaching out towards the light
Destroying all my nightmares
As I push away the night

Emerging from the darkness
Opening my half-closed eyes
Embracing the morning
Staring into the sunrise

I am emerging from the darkness...
(guitar fill)
Emerging from the darkness...
Emerging...emerging...
Emerging from the darkness

(sung really really loud)
OPENING MY EYES
PUSHING AWAY THE NIGHT
WATCHING THE SUN RISE
STARING UP INTO THE LIGHT
EMBRACING THE MORNING
DREAMING OF ANOTHER DAY
DESTROYING ALL MY NIGHTMARES
PUSHING YOU AWAY

I have emerged..........

Slow Down by Mack Rivkin

All this time i've gone so fast
These treasured moments will never last
No one seems to know.....gotta take it slow

I never remembered the past
Or the dark shadows it cast
No one seems to know.....gotta take it slow

Memories just fall away
I gotta go, but I really should stay
I move too quickly on the concrete ground
I gotta slow....down

My mind, my soul, all out of control
I can't get out of this deepning hole
I can't seem to get around
I gotta slow.....down

I don't know which way to go
To speed it up or take it slow
I will never know.....for now I'll take it slow

I gotta slow.....down
(repeated again really really fast)


Imposter by Mack Rivkin

My family used to be happy,
Until all the fights broke out.
Then seperation consumed me,
And an imposter walked into the house.

I used to be happy,
Until the situation got bad.
Now I am torn from my father,
And a replacement stands where he once had.

I don't know which way to turn
When no one is even there for me

I don't know who to talk to
When no one even believes me

The imposter is ruining my life
Turning people against me

I don't know where to run to
When he's alway there, right down the hall

He'll listen to his wife and kids,
But no, he won't listen to me.
I am a liar to him,
Nobody to him emotionally.

Yeah there's financial support
But money's not it all.
It's hard when there's nowhere to run to,
Because he's there, right down the hall.

I don't know which way to turn
When no one is even there for me

I don't know who to talk to
When no one even believes me

The imposter is ruining my life
Turning people against me

I don't know where to run to
When he's alway there, right down the hall

It's hard when an imposter lives right down the hall.

Religion (challenging SOAD) by Mack Rivkin

Making myths into a reality
Telling lies about the past we don't know
Science forms truth from the ancient scrolls
That we create, create, create, create

Religion fails to recognize the single most
Potent element of our very existence
Showing the truth and holding the reigns
Is science, science, science, science

Science is solving the puzzle
Showing the truth and holding the reigns
Religion fails to recognize the single most
Potent element of our very existence
Showing the truth and holding the reigns
Is science, science, science, science

Science only perfects our world
Showing the truth and holding the reigns
Science is the truth
Science is the truth
Science is the truth
Science is the truth
Science is the truth
Science is the truth

Showing the truth and holding the reigns
Is science, science, science, science

Showing the truth and holding the reigns
Is science, science, science, science

Science only perfects our world
Showing the truth and holding the reigns
Science is the truth
Science is the truth
Science is the truth
Science is the truth
Science is the truth
Science is the truth
Science is the truth
Science is the truth
Science is the truth
Science is the truth
Science is the truth
Science is the truth
Science holds the reigns
