Outsiders

Just a rat pack
That don’t cut slack
Just a few panthers all in a stack

Hand on shoulder
Like a boulder
Just to make the other feel colder

Against the wall
We look so tall
But you know inside we feel so small

Tough and confused
Feeling so used
Can’t even help a friend that’s abused

Beaten notions
Dead emotions
We quiver at the shadow’s motions

Heroes or hoodlums
Socials or just bums
We’re just outsiders
East End or West End
To hurt or defend
We’re all outsiders

Watch the sunset
It’s your best bet
Still it can’t pay what we owe in debt

What can I do?
I love you too
We just need some time, just me and you

Acoustic love
Not from above
I know your heart looks like a dove

Deadly switchblade
There he just laid
That strong memory will never fade

Not so much light
And yet we fight
Why does it have to be done at night?

Ode to our friend
Just stay golden
I must hear that song over again

Cover my wounds
It’s over soon
My blanket tonight will be the moon

I’m not crazy
Just quite dazy
My memory is still so hazy

Insanity
Is gripping me
And it never seems to let me be

Senseless stealings
Failed at healings
And through it all these swallowed feelings

Wolf in Wolf's Clothing

You weren't the first friend to hurt me. But you will be the last. You can't just say that shit to me And then attempt to take it back You can't just pull that shit on me And then expect that we're still friends. While so called friends left you to rot Risked all I'd saved just to save you If only I had stopped and thought Position's changed what would you do? You say you cannot feel at home You say you think that I don't care You claim that you are all alone Now stop to think who put you there? Did I not fight quite hard enough To be called friend, stand by your side Did I not sacrifice enough? I thought I gave enough. I tr

The Outsiders

One by one my friends fall down Each more helpless than the one before Johnny had never left town Not until he evened the score, And the soc went tumbling to the ground. The fire was the end of him and those kids are the ones he fell for. Dally was not the same, He had been in and out of jail. He had already lost his aim, But then he turned away from the trail. Lifted the magazine and down he came, One bullet after the next, into him like nails. I don't know when times got rough, Somehow things just didn't go my way. Their blue Mustang was looking really tuff, But, Bob had no idea Johnny would take his life away. The day

The Outsiders

On the west side of town, Lies the best of the best. Those snobby rich Socs, Whom which we detest. They carry themselves. Life is great; they don’t care. They leave us in ruins, But that’s life; it’s unfair. Now we are the Greasers, Living on the east side. In a place that is useless, Drifting onwards with pride. Our parents are poor folk, (It’s that, or they’re dead) But we’ve banded together. We’re a family instead. Us Greasers are brothers, And our loyalty shows, Through our thoughts and our actions, And our hatred of foes. One night after dark, When two Greasers were talking, Those Socs showe

Strangers

Have you ever wondered What strangers think of you Most of us make judgments Those who don’t are few So many different faces With a million unknown names Each one with a tale to tell Of success, of misfortune, or of shame What separates a stranger From one you truly know You never see the real them Only what they choose to show We could spend our whole life searching For who we want to be I don’t even know who I am How can you say you know me We are strangers to ourselves

Holocaust

Round up the Jews To burn in their masses, Poison them all With the noxious gases. Herd in the flock Like lambs to the slaughter, Spare non their lives Not mother, not daughter. Roll on the production line, Make no waste. Cut hair, take glasses, Process them with haste, Weave cloth from their braids, Melt down all the metal. For an inferior race, We will not settle. ‘Arbeit Macht Frei’ Works makes you free. Now they're lining the chambers With Zyklon B. No use anymore, Too old, too weak. But of their deaths We do not speak. For millions were murdered For one simple reason- To Hitler it felt They were comm

Remember -the Holocaust-

There’s blood stained on these empty streets Ghostly footsteps breathe on me This was a place once full of life But now it has drowned in misery The shattered glass of Kristallnacht Like stars in the sky Sparkle in the black streets around me Like tears of a silenced cry I walk along tainted railroad tracks Wondering what horror has swallowed it It leads me to the train of death A train of memories coldheartedly slashed and split The souls’ cries become tears that flow down my cheeks Too many lives have perished here I run from what I cannot understand Pierced by six million haunted fears Six million of my people cas

Necromancer's Lullaby

Hush little baby, don't you cry Daddy's gonna sing you a lullaby Of death and darkness and eerie things That travel the night on gilded wings Of witches and demons and monsters so fierce Of battles and swords and arrows that peirce Of the spells and secrets of my sacred Art That darken even the purest heart And if, through it all, you begin to fear Remember that I am always here So take the legacy I gift to thee And when I am gone, remember me.

Suicide

I wish you happiness As I point the gun at my head As I tighten my finger over the trigger I wish you love As I shed my last tears As I think my last thoughts I wish you peace As I feel my heart beat quicken As I feel the chaos still around me I wish you hope As I see my dreams shatter As I feel the despair of my heart I wish you life As I give in to my pain As I greet death

Suicide

I cut myself today and I started to bleed The pain is so intense and I start to scream I cut myself today and I start to cry why did I do this? I don't want to die I crawl to the door I'm at the top of the stairs I try and yell for help But the words don't come out I try to get up but my knees are so weak I take my last breath with one tear rolling down my cheek

Based on the book "The Outsiders".
I thought this would work in the "Ballad" category, but if not then tell me and I'll move it. I'm not a huge fan of ballads, so I'm not positive if this is or not. According to the description, it kind of works here.
