Lyrics! How exciting!

I reckon I'll start off with some of my newest stuff, because I'm into it more than my old stuff, right now. It is, for the most part, unfinished and still in progress, and I only have a rough idea for what I want to do with it, musically, but still, let me know what you think of it.

A Flawed Design
Took blueprints at face value
You didn't look to see
If the calculations were off at all
If there was something wrong with me

You thought the plans were sound
You didn't take the time
But now that you're looking into this
You won't like what you find

This is a structural weakness
This is a flawed design
This is a crack in the surface
It'll all fall down with time

All you saw was a strong foundation
But all is not as it seems
I've got my share of skeletons down in the basement
& they're ruining the support beams

Burning Bridges
Leave your things
Dust will settle
Memories
Are left to rust

This is my island
Floating alone
Thin rope bridges
To all that I've known

Severing ties
Burning bridges
I'm burning down buildings
Where nobody goes

Nameless sites
Abandoned cities
I'll burn down a world
That nobody knows

Digging My Own Grave
Shovel into the flesh of the earth
We make mistakes, but we don't learn
The hole gets deeper, I'm the first to return
& wait for our rebirth

Rainfall
You try to stop the forward motion
Cause I'm standing on the ledge
& I stare out at the ocean
As you push me off the edge

The crowds watch in horror as
I teeter on the brink
The guilt around my manacles
Ensures that I will sink

Drip, Drop, the rain falls
& so do I

Please don't try to save me from
The deep ocean's mighty teeth
I'm taking solace in
All of the jagged rocks beneath

The Violent Storm
Put my back to the wall
& see how tall
I've become
See what I'm capable of
What I've already done

If you give me no choice
I'll never play nice
Again
I'll do what I have to to win
I didn't make this begin

But the winds of change are blowing
& it's quite a violent storm
It's been tearing at me for a very long time
& I can't take it anymore

Anyways, comments would be very much appreciated. let me know what you think, yeah?

  1. I really enjoyed the imagery in the lines, "I've got my share of skeletons down in the basement/& they're ruining the support beams." and the last verse in Burning Bridges. Violent Storm as a whole is solid, good job.
    Can't wait to hear them.

  2. Violent Storm out of all of them was my favorite, I can see it having really awesome potential as a song.
