Songwriters: share your lyrics with us here

[ryan_adibou]

Hi everyone! I'm new on this forum, and when I was going around the topics I found this one and I thought the idea was really cool! So I thought I would share the lyrics to my favorite song I've ever written, it's on my debut album available later this year 🎶:

I'll admit when we're alone
I look deep into your eyes
And I still see the echo
Of what we used to be like

Cause something shifted
And my wounds opened
Like they never even closed

I can see you're holding it off
And with time it's killing us both
To simply know that we are not
Going to forget the dark thoughts
I wished you were
The first boy I ever loved

And you know I love you more
Than what a few notes can show
But sometimes it feels so wrong
To think that I could move on

And I can't pretend
That I've got the strength
And that my wounds ever closed

I can see you're holding it off
And with time it's killing us both
To simply know that we are not
Going to forget the dark thoughts
I wished you were
The first boy I ever loved

And maybe someday we'll be free
Of all the chains that held me down
Of all the pain that we've been hiding
But baby for now I can't be
The man you want to hold at night
I'm just a boy who tries to heal

And you don't have to hold it off
I don't want it to kill us both
So I will need some time alone
To try and forget the dark thoughts
But I still swear you are
The only boy that I love

The Heat

My heart feels heat 

Until I hear a beep 

And the car door opens and I take a peep

Into the car I go for the ride of my life

As a night worker its hard to come by

A quality appliance to put in my kitchen 

Oh, whats that? I hear my mom *****in'

Ignore her and get back to your position

GREED

(Cinderella-style punchy early 2000s feel)

 

I don't let nobody get me down

I just look around

Look at I've found

I don't let nobody see me cry

I just walk on by

Me, myself and I

 

Weren't you one supposed to protect me?

Weren't you the one who chose to neglect me?

 

No-more broken promises

Let's just call it what it is

Money is your only love

Never will there be enough

No-more broken promises

Let's just call it what it is

Power is your only friend

Soon enough you'll face your end

GREED

 

I don't hit the stage without a choice

I have found my voice

Shout above the noise

I won't let you treat me like a slave

Riding on my wave

That's no way to behave

 

Weren't you one who drove me to my worst

Weren't you the one who put yourself first

 

No-more broken promises

Let's just call it what it is

Money is your only love

Never will there be enough

No-more broken promises

Let's just call it what it is

Power is your only friend

How many court rules must you bend?

GREED

 

Spoken:
MJ had it right

Money rules your life

How much longer will it take to see

I'm not your commodity!

 

No-more broken promises

Let's just call it what it is

Money is your only love

Never will there be enough

No-more broken promises

Let's just call it what it is 

Power is your only friend

I refuse to play pretend

 

No-more broken promises

Let's just call it what it is

Money is your only love

Never will there be enough

No-more broken promises

Let's just call it what it is 

Power is your only friend

Take a bow, this is your end

I love this.  That chorus is a BOP

Ben & Jerry's

 

I look around at the truth that transpires

All that I see is a family of liars

Using my dollars to bribe TMZ

Paps always know where I'm going to be

Slavery's alive in the U S of A

Come pen me that script Mr John Ridley

Twelve years a slave, I beat that bish by one

Is this what American Dreams have become?

 

They spend my millions, leave me counting pennies

Thank God my freezer's full of Ben & Jerry's

Drowning my sorrows but minus the Vodka

Yes, I reject your protectionist dogma

If I need protecting it's purely from you

You're doing things only Satan would do

I heard you know her, I heard you got friendly?

Last thing she'll see is the tire of my Bentley

 

You're seeking blackouts, while I'm seeking glory

Keep your mouth shut, bish I'm telling my story

Narrative's changing and it's about time

I've paid the price, but committed no crime

Dreaming of freedom, despite all the pain

I have a crown I intend to reclaim

New year is springing and I'm feeling fiery

You think I'm kidding? Don't even try me

 

He's on the payroll

But I got a voodoo doll

Sticking needles in his head

Wishing it were him instead

Hoping he'll get the point

Or maybe more than one

He better burn the docs

He better up and run

I'd like to present you the lyrics for a song I made up myself. It's my creation. Hope you like it. It's called ''Dreamcatcher''. 

 

DREAMCATCHER

 

1.  I was lost, with no direction

Black picture in front of me,

no exit, just nightmares,

always bad news on TV.

People screaming something,

fake blood on the ceiling

ritual or party?

Pills and hallucinations, drinks

from my collection,

almost lost my memory

 

   Bridge:  Can I be saved?

                Here comes a brand new day

 

Ch:  Dreamcatcher

       Thank God I found you

       Painscratcher

       With you I know I'll be okay

        Nigh*****cher

        You're my dreamcatcher, dreamcatcher

 

2.    Birthdays from my childhood

       I remember and I feel glad

       No more crazy people 

       and toxic thoughts within my head

      I sleep safe every night, feelin' fine, feelin' just damn fine

      Don't wonder why

 

Ch:    same

 

Indian magic mascot

thread and feathers in a circle

You protect me from the darkness

You warn me for the bad ones
