    Default First Song

    Well, now that I have the right area to post this in, this is my first song I've ever wrote, its for a metal band please critique me.
    I run away,
    you hit the floor.
    Your screams still ring inside my head.

    Only if you'd just run away now,
    go away so you're never seen.
    then you'll see,
    see the dark side of me.
    Yeah, now you see ,
    now you see the dark side,
    the dark side of me.
    Broken bones and bitter air,
    you hit the floor.
    how could this be?
    Be the dark side of me.
    What is this thing inside of me?
    It always brings me to my knees.
    My knees
    there's no emotion left inside,
    This is the dark side.
    Yeah, now you see ,
    now you see the dark side,
    the dark side of me.
    Run away now before it's too late
    the dark side is coming, it cannot wait
    so run away, be let free
    be free from the dark side of me.

    Not bad, not bad at all. I do have a couple suggestions. First would be to (if you were in fact trying to make some kind of rhyme scheme) mix up the rhyming a little bit so it's not so repetive. The other would be to find something a little different to say than "the dark side". You have it quite a bit in the lyrics, which makes what you're saying somewhat redundant and it gets old. Other than that, it's not bad for a first time out. I also write primarily metal. If you'd like you should check out some of mine. My newest one is on the first page "Wake Up Pt.2". What particular style of metal are we talking about here?
    Have you ever seen blood in the moonlight? It appears quite black. Have you ever seen spiders crawling on the graves?
