ABOUT

Nathaniel B. Hargreaves a 16 year old guy from Louisiana. Outside of writing music, he also writes political and opinion columns and essays about modern society. [July 2002]
Help me, I�m pinned to the ground
My legs are over my head
But I will keep on living
Just like I was meant to be
Downtown, everything�s gone wrong
And I still stand on the edge
Of my self-righteous fa�ade
Oh why are you fighting this?
Living still in the bright new past
What they can�t deny
You�ll see through their lies and
I�ll hold mine with the rights of men
That they can�t deny
And I�ll keep on living
Hey man, don�t give up quite yet
Learn to see right through their lies
And keep your promise to earth
My fatalist dreams undone
Don�t care what they do or say
Hell I don�t quite even know
If their fantasies suffice
To keep a promise to care
In my blissful apathy
Don�t give a damn what they think
And I�ll live life to its best
While they remain in the mold
I won�t regret this one bit
We�re all going the same way
Right down to burn in their hell
The hell that is in your mind
Hey now, am I all that wrong?
I just can�t help but realize
That we�re flying the wrong way
And we�re getting nowhere fast
But I have kept my promise
To live what I call a life
And not conform to their realm
Oh why are you fighting this?

"Well I have to agree with one thing the sender above says, You are an excelent writer. I saw a documentary last night about Bernie Taupin he started writing poetry when he was in school and answered an advert in New Music Express to put his words to music, within a very short time he was within a very short time one of the greatest lyricists ever. Your words are raw like his early stuff and your writing reminded me of him, That's one hell of a compliment. Do you write the music too? 7/10" -- Sooz, Dalton, England, Cumbria.
