Here is one I did awhile ago:

Oh Lord-

Look at how hard I tried,
seeing everyday how you pry.
Shadows creep the walls with what if's,
the blood on my fist settles this end.
Tapering the strings attached to my shoulder's,
teasing with time and words of the wiser.

Feeble the mind that follows,
limited the time of the river.

Oh Lord, how could you leave me,
leave me alone and shaking.
Dear Lord, why do you spite thee,
dagger in the chest leaves me slain.

The puddle grows, as the sun relinquishes its glow.
Troubled times grow afoot, together we will go.
The water becomes rippled with waves ten fold,
shelf life has become a little more then grown.
The eye leads the trigger and the mind flicks the hammer.
Setup this failure, your very own born heretic.
I traversed the land for answers, you only gave questions.

Feeble the mind that follows,
limited the time of the river.

Oh Lord, how could you leave me,
leave me alone and shaking.
Dear Lord, why do you spite thee,
dagger in the chest leaves me slain.

I am who I am! Accept me as I come!
God or no God I still stand the same man!
I relinquished my blade and stepped the stage!
I've taken this final blow with the stakes in tow!
I am but a man! I am but a man! I am but a man!

***The two line break before the chorus would be the pre-chorus, pretty much a filler to lead up too the chorus (adds length, can also substitute as a solo portion for instruments). The last part is the closure or outro, which again is just filler.

Just write at this point, I can't get a band together out here to actually put these lyrics too use.

Why do you find it scary Lyly? Actually one of the more peaceful one's I've written, lol.

Lol, most lyrics are emotional to some degree...but there is a difference between constantly screaming "I cut myself!" and "God left me behind".laugh

Some people are better suited in the instrument range of music, some are lyricists and others are writers. I can write and do vocals, as well as play the guitar and keyboard.

Writing takes time to grow, you have to write a bunch of worthless lyrics in order to write something that is eventually worthwhile. Trust me, I didn't start writing as good as I can and even now I'm not very good.

You could but it would end in a lawsuit, lol. I'm pretty protective over my writing, and it is digitally watermarked by numerous sites that I post it at. However I'm pretty open to allowing people to use my work as I don't think I will ever get the chance, so if you wanted to use this lyric for a band project or something I wouldn't mind as long as the lyric stayed intact and proper credit was given to me for writing it.drinker smokin
