Untitled - comments are nice. :P

Picture frames falling, crashing to the ground
Oh, my love, please come to me
Disappointment flailing wildly towards your crown
Of royal blood or spiked hopes
Either will suffice as I lure you near
Follow my blindly, leeched by your fear...

Let me sing you a dreary lullaby
Close your eyes and drift into my arms
As I whisper to you, don't you cry...
As the stranger plays his violin in harmony
The dove of flames flying over us
whistling a sorrowful lament, longing to be free
As fantasy screams into your dream

Drape the flowers onto your bed
where roses are black and hopes fall red
grief pouring out as it stains them so
The blood in your tears are not forgotten
Lifted up into the clouds as the thunder booms
Raining down as the dove croons

Let me sing you a dreary lullaby
Close your eyes and drift into my arms
As I whisper to you, don't you cry...
As the stranger plays his violin in harmony
The dove of flames flying over us
whistling a sorrowful lament, longing to be free
As fantasy screams into your dream

Soon the winter pelts onto us
Don't you flinch, move softly now
Paper masks hide their faces, don't your fuss
Flipping cards to play their game

Let me sing you a dreary lullaby
Close your eyes and drift into my arms
As I whisper to you, don't you cry...
As the stranger plays his violin in harmony
The dove of flames flying over us
whistling a sorrowful lament, longing to be free
As fantasy screams into your dream

Fireflies dancing in the moonlight
The imaginary birds calling out to you
Violet shades crawling in the night
Let it swallow you up, this barren dream
A melody so sweet and gentle
to pass you into the twisting nether
The paint peeling to show themselves
Switching into a dreamless slumber
Memories deteriorate in your mind

really like these lyrics, think they're quite powerful really (:

really, really well written.

ive gone through a few of the self written songs on here and theyre okay but this one stood out amongst a few others, i was hoping you'd be able to help me with something

my band is looking to promote a lot of internet circulated material and we're looking for lyrics (or perhaps even a lyricist) to collaborate with and it would be fantastic if you could get back to me on the subject of your lyrics being used, cause i think theyre brilliant (:

thanks
xx

They're very good but I think they'd go more as a poem than a song... They change direction musically too much...


Unless you do it as a slow industrial track or true goth (cellos, low strings, some synth) style.

yeah... well.
It's not written to music yet. It'll be different...
SO, yeah. What I really am looking for is just what you think of -how- it is written...
Err, the quality of the writing. Not how "musical" it is.
I don't have music to anything yet. I'll change things up, of course.
And it might be very goth. xD
