The Nullification

A rap-rock song I wrote about dealing with insecurities and helping others overcome those fears.

[Verse 1]

Tension's building up inside,

Your throat keeps getting dry,

You feel like backing out,

But you won't know until you try.

Insecurities collide,

Tracks of hope you cannot find,

Tomorrow brings respite,

But in today lies your bind.

[Chorus]

Get out, get out, get out,

You wanna get out of this shell.

Get out, get out, get out,

It's time to run from your hell.

Push the mind aside,

Swallow broken pride,

Don't let your future hold a doubt,

Now's the moment of getting out.

[Verse 2]

Pieces slowly form a whole,

Words carved into the stone,

Unleashing it all out

Means skinning to the bone.

Anxiety left behind,

Reduced to grains of dust,

Truth lighting darkest roads,

And burning all mistrust.

[Chorus]

Get out, get out, get out,

You wanna get out of this shell.

Get out, get out, get out,

It's time to run from your hell.

Push the mind aside,

Swallow broken pride,

Don't let your future hold a doubt,

Now's the moment of getting out.

[Bridge/Rap]

Get out, it's the conclusion of that story,

Keep your head up even if you didn't win the glory,

I'm sorry, I know the battle has been gory,

But this time around there's no ending as the quarry.

You are the winner, despite what world may think,

Pull the sleeve of those who grieve and do not let them sink,

It's the brink, destruction, the Earth near its end,

But only for those whose look shows entering the realm of pretend.

Get out!

[Chorus]

Get out, get out, get out,

You wanna get out of this shell.

Get out, get out, get out,

It's time to run from your hell.

Push the mind aside,

Swallow broken pride,

Don't let your future hold a doubt,

Now's the moment of getting out.

Author's Note

I hope you have enjoyed reading this as much as I have enjoyed writing it. Those lines just came to me, so I spent the last hour or so putting it all together, and the result is this! :D
Anyways, people usually ask you to be nice when reviewing some of their stuff they particularly like, but I won't do that - I want you to be fully honest with me and tell me if you think it sucks or something. No hard feelings.
Thank you!
P.S. I think this should be in the "lyrics" genre, since this is a song, but I still put it into "poetry" xD

[Sabrina Fowl]

Very good song! The message is great and the lyrics are great!

[Hidden Happiness]

love the rap and overall the whole lyrics is really good...i really got a taste of that anger and kinda felt an urge to stand up against those that put me down...this could easily be a linking park song with mike shinoda doing the rap:):):).

[Tomislav Petricevic]

Thank you a lot! :D

[Hidden Happiness]

[Tomislav Petricevic]

ja neam pojma sta je ovo al ja (filip) sam na sadinom accountu i komentišem.

[Tomislav Petricevic]

Haha, koji si ti lik. XD

[That_Girl]

The chorus is really good... I like that you only repeat the 'get out...' line twice... any more and it would be annoying. The verses are pretty damn solid as well... nicely done!

Back to working! ;) Sent you a message as well....

This is really nice!
It kind of reminds me of the bands Papa Roach and Breaking Benjamin because of the awesome hard sound of the anger, but not too violent. I really liked your second verse in particular.

Loved it man :)

[Tomislav Petricevic]

Thank you! :D
