I bet your stuff is great!

hat song was great!! Personally, it gave me Native American vibes.

Honestly same-

hhhh you're just-

I tried to write a song once, ya that failed -w-

Here comes the messed up writer who writes poems that turns into songs
ALso mE!

Hello hello
I am back

And I come bearing new lyrics

This One's not done, but It's really personal and hits home for me.

You know that
Everybody's thinkin' that there's somethin' not quite right
Everybody acts like they can't see the other side
And you always see right through me,
But you don't see through my eyes
And all the drugs I took got me too fucked to fantasize, yeah-

I think all these problems are gonna make me go insane,
All these foreign people tryna see inside my brain,
Blaming mental illness but not tryna take the blame,
Acting like they didn't hurt me, like they didn't cause me pain,
But then shit got rough
I started throwing up
I started losing weight
My grandparents blew it off
They said it was the medication fucking with my system,
That night I started writing to my parents that I missed 'em.
A couple years went by, and I started getting help
But by the time I turned 14 everything just went to hell,
I met this girl and fell in love and she was 4 years older,
She left a scar on my left thigh and my heart a little colder.
She broke my trust, she broke my heart,
She broke my will to live.
I fell silent when the memories came back
And told me what she did.
I blamed myself, I couldn't tell
What was wrong with my heart,
I started leaving tiger stripes
Up and down my arms.

idk if anyone is still here but,, i have some lyrics,,,,

Mahogany

Your eyes were like mahogany
They cut their way through all of me
When my throat closed up
And my fingertips went numb
Your wooden eyes saw through reality.

If this my final night with you
Could I have this dance?
If it’s the last thing you do
Could you give me a chance?
‘Cuz my innocence is drifting to
The waterfalls of tainted youth
And I’m only getting older on my own.
The days go by too fast to count
Driver please, oh let me out
Where the years i left have gone

Sculpted marble bodies wait
Under the stars through wind and rain
As they eroded away
There’s nothing else to say
No one knew that they were in pain.

If this is my final night with you
Could I have this dance?
If it’s the last thing you do
Could you give me a chance?

Oh, could I have this dance?
Oh, should I take a chance?

holy fuck that's good
also
I HAVE RETURNED

thanks, also, welcome back!

why thank you thank you

nothing new from me but i am obsessed with Dodie's lyrics, 10/10 recommend reading those. She, Burned Out and If I'm Being Honest are just,,, i can't stop thinking about them

i lied, this one is called Zees, inspired by my generation ascending while millenials and boomers yell at each other.

You said we were in love
With your hands around my throat
Then you left to find yourself
And I stayed behind to gloat.
The clock on the mantle’s broken
But we can’t read it anyway
It’s not our fault we didn’t learn
It’s not my fault, I’m gay.

I’m gonna throw a party
Everyone should come
We’re gonna tear the house down
Once we all get numb

Try to tell us what to do
You won’t have another chance
You can yell and you can scream but
We would rather dance.
Jumping in the mosh pit
Screaming from the stands
Time passing doesn’t scare us
We’re bathing in the quicksand

We have mastered unconvention
We have altered art
We’re coming for your worldviews
We’re tearing them apart.

So my boyfriend broke up with me via someone else's texts and I wrote this in response :)

Always wrong again
I apologized
I'm still left on read
You were out of line

Written paragraphs
Full of deadly lies
You said you held your tongue
But against what guise?

Always wrong again
I apologized
You laughed in my face
As you watched me cry

Said it was your nerves
We know that's a lie
This shit's getting old
For the sixteenth time.

I make soundtracks, mainly synth and sometimes piano

I'm trying to start writing lyrics tho…

Ah
I do soundtracks for indie games too :)

I have a song in production!
It's called problem child

VERSE 1
You were introduced in the prologue
Perfect daughter, perfect son
then you blew up at a friend who lied to you
the teacher pulled you two apart
parent conference had to start
and now…

CHORUS 1
You're a problem child an issue waiting to happen
A meteor streakin’ down to earth to set the whole world on fire
light your own funeral pyre

VERSE 2
You're not a phoenix you're a wannabe
the protagonist's henchmen who died the second chapter
You won't rise from the ashes of this burnt out world

PRE-CHORUS
and you know
ooh
you know
deep inside
that label isn't right for you
but you can't object…

CHORUS
‘Cause you're a problem child an issue waiting to happen
A meteor streakin’ down to earth to set the whole world on fire
Goes against every desire

[Instrumental Section]

VERSE 3
You're an issue you're a problem you're a psychopath
You're a shadow of a person, a clone mismatched
People see you as a problem that can be fixed
A pitstop on their way to fame and greatness

Everyone's a fair weather friend
they scribble over you with pen
And nobody cares to know your name

CHORUS
‘Cause you're a problem child
yes dear, a problem child

So what will you do, problem child?
yes, what will you do?
oh, what will you do!

Nice

Do you mind if I critique it?

go wild!
