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?

@Angelfish-Eyes group

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

@Angelfish-Eyes group

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.

@SpookyJim

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 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!

I have an audio version of the lyrics if I can find it, it's going through instrumental rn

@SpookyJim

"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…"

What is this rhyme scheme?
It's funky and I dig it but the first part
"Prologue" to "son" to "you"
The flow just-
I dunno??? Am I making sense???

Deleted user

Alright, so it goes from kinda indie begining to uhhhh, rock, it goes to really angry alt rock.

Deleted user

I wasn't able to get the audio but when we finish working it I'll send y'all the link

Deleted user

I pride myself on being a pretty low-key but accomplished songwriter. What you have written is great

Deleted user

lmao i write songs sometimes
but like,,,they suck ass
oh well, i got nothing left to lose anyways :3

confusion by ya boi

everything on this earth i've seen before
i can breathe fire and pop popcorn
and the music can be bad, the radio's a bore
i settle for less, i'm afraid of wanting more

error, shutdown activated (x3)

and if i can't be useful, what will become of me?
i'm okay, i swear, but i can tell you don't believe
all these questions i never got around to asking
swirl in my head, but the confusion's everlasting

i never used slope intercept
in school, i'm never interested
they say i was intoxicated
but what if i was just educated

on my own terms, i'll do it on my own terns
i don't know if i'll ever know, heh, figures
cause i'm just a specimen
and i'm a fucking pessimist

@Angelfish-Eyes group

is it over? written by yours truly, who is not overly fond of the verses but the chorus is nice

Backs of my eyelids
Wet with tears
I can’t run away
Can’t hide from fear
Is it over yet
Can I let you down
Can I drop my guard
Can I let me drown?

I don’t want to hear the cars
In the dark
I don’t want to count the stars
Anymore
I don’t want to touch the sky
I just want to sleep at night
Is too much to ask
Just to be alright?

I don’t want to fix the tear
In my heart
I don’t want to wake up scared
Anymore
I don’t want to live a lie
I just want to sleep at night
Is it too much to ask
Just to be alright?

Stars burn out
Seasons change
Winter comes
After the rain
People stare
People smile
Wonder what
Makes it worthwhile
Take my hand
Take my heart
Pull me close
Rip me apart
Is it over yet
Can I take a bow
Can I leave the stage
Is it over now?

Deleted user

WHY DOES THIS HAVE TO BE SUCH A VIBE

lmao thanks
that was my old account haha
i literally wrote that on a depresso day

@ghosthugs__

here's a loverboy verse i guess

lilypichu stares at the sunset
god, i’m the master of comp-het
you make me forget the times i felt dead
what are we? i don’t even know yet
dip your toes in and please don’t get me wet
i remember when i was anxious for this bullshit to start
now i’m just anxious that you’re gonna rip out my heart
your words are poison, yet i can’t stand the thought of us apart
everytime i build up confidence you smash it again
and everytime i try to tell you, you look at me like i’m insane

Hi there! I can see it's been a while since someone posted, but I love trying to write songs, but I'm not very good at it. I love music SOOO much, have played piano for like 5+ years, viola for about 2 or 3, and am learning to play chords on guitar (but I'm not very good at guitar :P), and I definitely want to make my own music someday, maybe be in a band if it works out that way. Now I'm trying to write songs, and I've got a few that I like but they definitely need polished. Tbh, I'm not sure why I'm posting here, guess I just want some encouragement and also to just nerd out with fellow aspiring songwriters.
