    i wrote this last night and i've never had much luck with lyrics, i don't think this one sucks completely but i'd like soneone else's opinion. it's a speed metal song, mostly screamed.

    this is the last time I sell my soul to keep myself blind to the way I’ve been living
    no longer will I lose control over my sense of feeling
    right and wrong make no difference
    its all in the point of view
    I see the way you treat me.
    But yet, I still yield
    To your skewed sense of judgement
    You take the facts and twist them
    until you determine what I feel
    no longer will you take me
    and mold me in your hands
    for I am breaking out of this
    so that I can finally feel

    why should I blindly follow you
    when I can see for myself
    this world that has become so real
    why should I listen to you
    when now I hear the screams for help
    why should I still love you
    when I see that it was never real

    I still have so many questions
    about what I’ve missed
    my friends have long since left me
    my life is a total mess
    the pieces of a shattered life
    will soon come back together
    now that I can see the whole again
    they’ll soon fall back in place

    why should I blindly follow you
    when I can now see for myself
    this world that has become so real
    why should I listen to you
    when now I hear the screams for help
    why should I still love you
    when I see that it was never real

    I look back upon you with no regret
    for I have learned what must be done
    from now on I bow to know one.
    I am the master of my own fate
    I choose where I should shine or fall
    these are my last words to you
    and then you’re forever lost to me
    thank you for freeing my mind
    from the hell you locked me in

    why should I blindly follow you
    when I can now see for myself
    this world that has become so real
    why should I listen to you
    when now I hear the screams for help
    why should I still love you
    when I see that it was never real

    why should I blindly follow you
    when I can now see for myself
    this world that has become so real
    why should I listen to you
    when now I hear the screams for help
    why should I still love you
    when I see that it was never real

    Wow! I'm impressed!

    "I still have so many questions
    about what I’ve missed
    my friends have long since left me
    my life is a total mess
    the pieces of a shattered life
    will soon come back together
    now that I can see the whole again
    they’ll soon fall back in place"

    This was the one verse that grabbed my attention the most. I think a better way to put it would have been:

    "my life is a mess
    the pieces of a shattered existence
    will soon come back together" rather than calling it a "shattered life" only because it sounds to me a little repetitive with the two appearances of "life" that close together. Aside from that, I think you got a really good thing goin here. Keep it up, I'd like to see what else you can do.
