These are some of my lyrical works thus far. Every piece is potentially a finished product, but is highly viable to change. Please post your comments and criticism in an acceptable and helpful manner.

=========================

Bleed

This is one of those lyrics that I wrote just for the sake of writing. It is heavily inspired by Slipknot's Wait And Bleed (go figure), as well as Vermilion and No Life, but the end result is a lot simpler and blunter, yet hopefully remotely close to being as powerful. The music I have planned for it will actually be just as dynamic, with dropped bars and rhythm changes, but not as much of a head on auditory assault.

=========================

I let my lifeless shell bl-eed
Down after this awakening
I won’t bl-eed for you / Leave

This isn’t me tearing my skin
From the inside
This isn’t the way that it should be
Bl-eed
Need to watch the flesh
Rip from what’s left of me
Wish it didn’t have to feel this way
Dare you to bleed
Dare you to bleed

I let my lifeless shell bl-eed
Down afterwards don’t wait for me
I won’t bl-eed for you / Leave

This isn’t how I’d like to get
To the outside
This isn’t what I expected to see
Bl-eed
Hate to watch myself
Rip from reality
Wish it didn’t have to be this way
Bleed
Bl-eed
Bleed
Bl-eed for me
Will it to bleed
Make it bl-eed
Force it to bleed
Dare you to bleed for me

I let my lifeless shell bl-eed
Down can’t resist what’s left for me
I won’t bl-eed for you
Hard to resist this fatal attraction
Forced to restrict my desperate reaction
Compelled to give in I stand at inaction / Lifeless
Left with the taste of dissatisfaction / Left with this

Wish I could feel this pain inside
My lifeless shell left crucified
This burning taste will not subside
All I can do is
Bl-eed
Made to watch my blood
Rip from inside of me
Wish it didn’t have to end this way
Dare you to bleed
Dare you to bleed

=========================

Break Free

This is the oldest lyric of mine, and I'm still amazed with it. Being originally being inspired by Linkin Park, it is no wonder that my earliest works were in their distinctive rap-metal style and contained overlapping singing and rapping, along with a repetition of dynamic segments. Unlike Downfall (my second-oldest piece), this one has actually slightly expanded over the years to include more varied styles and destinct segments, but still remains concise and blunt.

=========================

I can’t stand it
Whenever you’re near
I feel so faint
You spark my fear
It's like I'm living a lie - I’m dying inside / You
But you can’t see you’re killing me / Think you’ve
There’s only one way to stop this pain / Got it
Just get away from me / All
Scars on my face - A passing phase / You
Replace my pain with disdain / Think you’ve
Remain un-needing for a reason for bleeding / Got it
Just get away from me / All
It’s like a burn burn like a rhythm and rhyme / And
It’s like a burn burn like I lost my mind / Now you’re
It’s like a burn burn nothing left to find / Gonna
So I burn burn what I feel inside / Fall
Just get away from me

Break free
Give me back my life
Give me back my sanity
Break free
Get me out of here
Just get away from me
Break free

Separate me / Separate me / Separate me from this
Separate me / Separate me / Separate me from this

Be not - Feel not
Left with what I’ve got
I can’t take it - I can’t break it
I can’t hold back what I’ve felt so long
I keep my pain locked away / You
I die a little everyday / Think you’ve
I can’t keep going on this way / Got it
Just get away from me / All
Unprepared - Unreadily / You
Commonplace catastrophe / Think you’ve
You are not the remedy / Got it
Just get away from me / All
It’s like a burn burn like a rhythm and rhyme / And
It’s like a burn burn like I lost my mind / Now you’re
It’s like a burn burn nothing left to find / Gonna
So I burn burn what I feel inside / Fall
Just get away from me

Break free
Give me back my life
Give me back my sanity
Break free
Get me out of here
Just Get away from me
Break free

Separate me / Separate me / Separate me from this
Separate me / Separate me / Separate me from this

You think you’ve got it all
You think you’ve got it all
And now you’re gonna fall
It’s like a / Burn / Burn burn like a rhythm and rhyme
It’s like a / Burn / Burn burn like I lost my mind
It’s like a / Burn / Burn burn nothing left to find
So I / Burn / Burn burn what I feel inside
It’s like a / Burn / Burn burn like a rhythm and rhyme
It’s like a / Burn / Burn burn like I lost my mind
It’s like a / Burn / Burn burn nowhere to hide
So I / Burn / Burn burn what I feel inside / As I
Sit back and watch the world
Burn / Nowhere to run - Nowhere to hide
So I
Sit back and watch the world
Burn / Nowhere to run - Nowhere to hide
So I / Separate me - Separate me - Separate me from this
Sit back and watch my world
Burn / Nowhere to run - Nowhere to hide
So I / Separate me - Separate me - Separate me from this

=========================

Broken Glass

This lyric originally started as the outro to Downfall, but I felt that they both detract from each other, and thus it became its own piece. The opening four lines are meant to mimic the playground song 'ring around the roses' to give it an overall disconcerting feeling.

=========================

Blood to / Blood
Rust to / Dust
Lashes ashes (My skin is cracking)
We all fall / Down

Pouring down
Slow blood rain
Seeping in
Steadily

I feel it
Take away
My walls are
Closing in
In my head
By myself
So insecure
Waiting to take this pain away (Shatter)

So fragile
I shatter
So helpless
Doesn’t matter
So insecure
I’m lost for sure
So what
You say to me

Slipping in
Entering me
Through the cracks
Into my veins

I feel it
Take away
My walls are
Closing in
In my head
By myself
I’m lost again
Ready to take this pain away (Shatter)

So fragile
I shatter
So helpless
Doesn’t matter
So insecure
I’m lost for sure
So what
You don’t care

Shattered broken inside
Scattered within the lies

I’m left screaming out your name
I’m left crying out your name
I’m left standing in the rain
Wanting to take this pain away (Shatter)

Blood to / Blood
Rust to / Dust
Lashes ashes (My skin is cracking)
We all fall / Down
=========================

Bind

No comment yet.

=========================

Why are you here
We’re bound by the gravity
Its becoming clear to us
The dust is settling

And we feel
Torn from this
These bandages can’t keep us / Whole
And we feel
Torn from this
Your words can’t bind us to the / Ground
You’ve caught me now
And we don’t care
There’s nothing left
To take from here
And we don’t care
There’s nothing left
For you

Feel the chill in here
We're bound by the gravity
Its coming full circle now
The dust is settling

And we feel
Torn from this
These bandages can’t keep us / Whole
And we feel
Torn from this
Your words can’t bind us to the / Ground
You’ve caught us now
And we don’t care
There’s nothing left
To take from here
And we don’t care
There’s nothing left
For you

We won’t falter against your lies
The dust won’t cloud our eyes
The gravity’s bound to be
We told you don’t take from here
We don’t care that you’ve caught us now
Full circle won’t bind us down
Why can’t you just leave us be
You forget don’t take from here

You’ve caught us now
You’ve caught us now
Caught here

And we feel
Torn from this
These bandages can’t keep us / Whole
And we feel
Torn from this
Your words can’t bind us to the / Ground
You’ve caught us now
And we don’t care
There’s nothing left
To take from here
And we don’t care
There’s nothing left
For you

=========================

Downfall

This is my second-oldest surviving pieces, and has gone through numerous transformations and reconfigurations over the years. Some of my other current lyrics have spawned from snippets of previous verses, choruses, and outros, but everything on this piece always seemed to revert to its original setup after every edit, but with a bit more brought to the table. As my musical preferences expanded, this piece actually tightened and became more and more pinned down. If I am ever given any chances to record anything, this one would be the first on the list, not only because of its historical value to me, but also because I've already thought out all of the music.

=========================

Back off back down / Fall
Don’t bring me down / Fall
Back off back down / Fall
Don’t bring me down / Fall

Ne-ver-slow-ing
Down / to the last straw / I’m breaking
Down / to the last day / I’m taken / Stuck
Away / Chained down
Held to my life / My lies / Days fly by
No time to wonder why
On the brink as I sink further into this / Falling / Calling
Ripping away from my distress / Screaming / Bleeding
As the burning in my skin / Breaking / Fleeting
Takes me over again as I
Fall down fall off fall away
Just / Go a-
-Way

Why must I stand this again
Feeling my senses spin
My strength is fleeting again
I've seen too much from within
Why am I stranded again
When will this strain ever end
It's starting over again
And I'm stuck here again

Down / to my last breath / I’m choking
Down / to my last grip / I’m slipping / Stuck
Away / Chained down
Held to my life / My lies / Days fly by
No time to wonder why
I can’t think as I sink further into this / Falling calling
Taking a gasp of the subtle stress / Screaming bleeding
As this feeling reeling within / Breaking fleeting
Takes me over again as I
Back down back off back away
Just / Go a-
-Way

Why must I stand this again / Go a-
Feeling my senses spin / -Way
My strength is fleeting again / Go a-
I've seen too much from within / -Way
Why am I stranded again / Go a-
When will this strain ever end / -Way
It's starting over again / Go a-
And I'm stuck here again / -Way

It’s too late
I’m on my way down / Falling calling
You - Never had a clue / Screaming bleeding
It’s too late
I’ve fallen down / Breaking fleeting
You don’t even care now

Back off back down / Fall
Don’t bring me down / Fall
Back off back down / Fall
Don’t bring me down / Fall

=========================

Lifeline

This one is just straight guitar-grinding death metal. I don't even really listen to death metal (other than In Flames, which is categorized as melodic death metal), but one song by Lamb Of God which appeared on Headbanger's Ball Vol. 1 just inspired me to write this one - not lyrically, but just in the same grinding tone.

=========================

This is the wrong revolution
A lethal lack of elation
This contorted convolution
I refute your revelation

My lifeline
I sever every
Last string
Watch it come undone
Unraveling
Let it all go

Cataclysmic devolution
Annihilistic desolation
My determined retribution
The last surviving contagion

My lifeline
I sever every
Last string
Watch it come undone
Unraveling
Let it all go

I cannot find the solution
The resulting desecration
No remaining restitution
This is the end of creation

This is the deathrend
This is the way your world ends
This is the way your world ends
This is the deathrend

=========================

Denial

I'm fond of at least a bit of every kind of music - I'll listen to hip hop, reggae, southern rock, alt. punk, '80s metal, even a little bit of country (gotta love Johnny Cash!), but I'll almost never write anything even remotely close to those styles - except for this one, which is in an alt. rock style, kind of like Eve 6. I surprised myself when writing this one because the chorus (and the two preceding lines before each instance) simply fell into place after writing the verse a few days/weeks/months before - I have no idea how long it was really, other than the fact that I worked on other things in between.

=========================

Get in line
Did my time
Never thought that I would see you here again
I’m
Too scared to even try
Never knew that I would never see the end
How much longer till I can walk away from all those things you’ve said?
How long until I’ll understand what you really meant?
It all falls down on me in this space
What I’ll have to face I won’t let it show

Trust my denial
It’ll never show
It’ll take awhile
I’m waiting to go

Get in line
Did my time
Take me somewhere you think I’d rather be
I’m
Too scared to even try
Take me back to what you said I need
How much longer till I can walk away from all those things you’ve said?
How long until I’ll understand what you really meant?
Sun beats down on my burning face
Take me to the place I never want to go

Trust my denial
It’ll never show
It’ll take awhile
I’m waiting to go

Even if I could have known - Everything would be the same
I would still be where I am - Only with a different name

=========================

Hit Me

About 85% of this lyric was written in about 20 minutes in one morning with everything just bursting out extremely fast and relentlessly. I've revisited it a few times, but just to tighten up the accent-correlation between the verses, snip off any bits of errant and decentralizing lyrics, and to mess with the chorus. Also, if you want a good tempo and style for this, listen to Slipknot's Spit It Out

=========================

Come on you want to
Hit me batter be mean with the fast-ball shortfall
Drop yourself not plagued by the doldrums
Hit it with a roll on the barrel drums
Always got a trick up my sleeve in a heartbeat
Nothing worn on it worn
DOWN not time to fall
DOWN not enough to break
DOWN not ready to
DIE… HIT ME

Got too much on top of me six feet
Pyre getting higher with the garbage you spit
Sick of this give me a break from berating
Hit me again you’ll see what’s shaking
Black jack black-eyed suicide regiment
Anything better than last night’s main event
Too meek too weak to take a peak at the fist
Side of the face
Right time wrong place
Sandpaper thoughts grate on the wrong space
Leave me with nothing laugh at everything

HIT ME
Are you not man enough?
Have I not had enough?
HIT ME
My clockwork can't bleed
HIT ME
Made to take anything

Mechanized synergised
Take another hit from yourself you want to push me delete
Just another permanent miss hold me from this
Back me up no strings attached
Now I got to break the leash restraining me
Nothing torn from me torn
OUT not time to fail
OUT not enough to bail
OUT not ready to
TRY… HIT ME

Nothing ethereal about this - frailness
Solid walls built to fall seven ten split
Catch 22 how about you hitting me
Push and shove won’t get you anything
You bring it on I got no one to blame
Nine yards of fame from the cage to the flame
Too bruised to choose what you’re gonna loose
Damned if you don’t
Well I declare I won’t
You weakling leaving me with nothing to confront
Take another swing at me not enough for me

HIT ME
Are you not man enough?
Have I not had enough?
HIT ME
My clockwork can't bleed
HIT ME
Save it with your suffering

Catatonic mishap
Slip back and get slapped
Snap won’t be the last
Gonna hit you on the second pass
TAKE BACK
Not going there again
Lead me to a dead end
Take another sip of this
Flip this hit me

Are you not man enough?
Have I not had enough?
HIT ME
My clockwork can't bleed
HIT ME
Come on give me everything

=========================

Return

This is the only piece I've written recently, with everything else being at least ten months old. I am quite pleased with how this one turned out, with having given it only about two or so hours of thought. It is a definite depart from my older works, using more specific imagery and other sensory perceptions than I'm usually comfortable with in the addendum (last two sections). Return is VERY heavily inspired by In Flames' The Chosen Pessimist, their more mellow song from their latest album, A Sense Of Purpose.

=========================

Remind me how to stand again
I'm sure I can't on my own
Tracing the lines you've left behind
Chasing your last trail alone

Even though I feel this way
I'll believe what you say

The blinding reflections steal my balance
Your last footfalls pull me in
Sleepwalk my way into your daydream
I've nothing left to rescend

Even though I feel this way
I'll believe what you say
You say I'm not dying
You say I'm not dying

Lend me strength
Try to remind me / You say I'm not dying
Show me through
Help me believe... / You say I'm not dying / Your reverie

Treading through the fallen petals
Your ocean slowly drawing nearer
I can see the wind run through the trees
But don't feel your breeze on me

Squinting into the distant sun
I can taste the salt you've left behind
A cold bright filter washed o'er my sight
I can't even be reached by your shine anymore

=========================

Suffice
No comment yet.

=========================

Bring it on again
Just make me fall
Make me fall again
Just bring it on

Regret
My deepest enemy
Standing next to me
This time
I’ve lost it all inside
Every time I’ve tried
My life
Will not suffice this way
Burning deep in me
Return
To what I must have said
Why has my skin bled

I’ve lost it all
Each time I’ve tried
It won’t suffice this
Burning deep inside

Regret
I’ve lost it all now
Every time I’ve tried
To stand
Will not suffice now
Burning deep in me
Bring it on again
Just make me fall
Make me fall again
Just bring it on

I’ve changed
But I still feel the same
There’s no one left to blame
This time
I’ve lost it all inside
Every time I’ve tried
My life
Will not suffice this way
Burning deep in me
I hate
To see it end this way
There’s nothing left to say

I’ve lost it all
Each time I’ve tried
It won’t suffice this
Burning deep inside

I feel
I’ve lost it all now
Every time I’ve tried
To blame
Will not suffice now
Burning deep in me
Bring it on again
Just make me fall
Make me fall again
Just bring it on

Sever the strings
That hold me up
Bring it on again
Just make me fall
Release the grip
That’s held on me
Make me fall again
Just bring it on
=========================

Tangled

No comment yet.

=========================

Bite back the blade
Chew the steel and swallow it down
Twisting the shard
This silence is constricting me now

Her lack of words
Stings like daggers
My lack of nerves
I would rather

Push it in
I can’t believe this
Breaking the skin
Cut myself from this
Take her
I’m done with her
No one else will care

Bend myself
Break myself
Make myself
Why didn't I see this?

Holding my tongue
Her fingernails are clawing it out
Burn off my skin
Her chemicals bring me to the ground

Push it in
I can’t believe this
Breaking the skin
Cut myself from this
Gone now
I don’t remember
Never needed her

Her lack of words
Stings like daggers
My lack of nerves
I would rather

Bend myself / I’m contorting and forcing it in
Break myself / Mind’s distorting and warping within
Make myself / I’m clawing and gnawing my skin
Why didn’t I see this?

Barbed wire noose / Forced around the neck
Chemical burns / Sear what’s left of the flesh
Sink the teeth / Marrow-deep in me
Stab the shard / Shift it underneath

Force it in
Plunge the dagger
Into my skin
I would rather
Twist it

Label me / Hate me
You will / Break me
Label me / Hate me
You can / Make me
Label me / Hate me
You will / Break me
Label me / Hate me
Force it in

Label me / Hate me
You will / Break me
Label me / Hate me
You can / Make me
Label me / Hate me
You will / Break me
Label me / Hate me
Why didn't I see this?

=========================

You / Just throw me away - Just throw you away

I / Hold dear to my impurities - Cause they're what's sustaining me
You're calling this quarantine - I'm calling this genocide
When / I close my eyes - I can see through your frail disguise
You're claiming to purify - I'm struggling to survive
Claw my face - Crack my nerves
This is one of my better turns
Look in my eyes - My raw back's against the wall
Thorn in my side - Got no time to claw you out

You / It's your fault - They just don't care
You / It's your fault - Just flee from here
You / It's your fault - They just don't care
You / It's your fault - Just flee from here

You / You're not so precious to me / You're not so special to me

Don't blame me / I blame you

Put
Some inside of me / Seeping it's way through
Scars from incisions / Seeking my dead core
Collapse / Intact / Relapse
Detach / Retract / Get Back
You
You
You / You're not so precious to me / Don't blame me / You're not so special to me / I blame you
You / You're not so precious to me / Don't blame me / You're not so special to me / I blame you
You / Just throw me away / Flaw / Just throw you away
You / Just throw me away / Flaw / Just throw you away
You / You're no better than your / Flaws / You're no better than me
You / You're no better than your / Flaws / You're not so special to me

=========================

Venom

As odd as it may sound, this one is actually a love song. Even I don't know the end result of it, what with all of the conflict generated by the jarring lyrics, but I do know that it gets resolved in one way or another, hence the last two lines stating the recession of the agitating perception or thought, whatever exactly it may be.

=========================

How did I get here?
Isn’t there something I should fear?
Other than this voice in the back of my mind
Holding me back

Bite my tongue / Close my eyes
Pull myself further down inside
I AM NOT LISTENING
Can’t stand this toxic pulse within my mind
I AM NOT LISTENING
Inject more venom into my mind
I AM NOT LISTENING

What’s this dirt on my skin?
What’s this incision within?
Why am I going numb?
Why am I so overcome?

Oh / I will never feel / I will ne’er be free
I AM NOT LISTENING / Taking control of me
Oh / This venom / Taking control of me

How did I get here?
Isn’t there something I should feel?
Other than this venom in the back of my mind
Holding me back

Bite my tongue / Close my eyes
Pull your venom deeper down inside
I AM NOT LISTENING
Can’t live without your poison in my mind
I AM NOT LISTENING
Inject more venom into my mind
I AM NOT LISTENING

The sedative
Is setting in
My self control
Diminishing
Oh / I AM NOT LISTENING

Oh / Maladjusted I feel so dejected
Nerve and blood poisoning / Taking control of me
Oh / This venom / Taking control of me
Toxicity / Taking control of me

Pull this venom deeper down inside
Pull it down / Holding me back
Pull it down / Toxic
Taking control of me
Deeper down inside / Volatile
I can taste it on me
Pull it down / Arsenic
Draw it out from
INSIDE / Cyanide

No I cannot / Draw this venom from my mind
I cannot / Make myself whole again this time
I am now / Breaking down deep inside
I AM NOT LISTENING
I AM NOT LISTENING
I AM NOT LISTENING
I AM NOT LISTENING

Oh / Maladjusted I feel so dejected
Nerve and blood poisoning / Taking control of me
Oh / This venom / Taking control of me
Toxicity / Taking control of me

Oh / I will never feel / I will ne’er be free
I AM NOT LISTENING / Taking control of me
Oh / This venom / Taking control of me

Oh / Maladjusted I feel so dejected
Nerve and blood poisoning / Taking control of me
Oh / This venom / Taking control of me
Toxicity / Taking control of me

Gently / Drawing out the need
Gracefully / Falling towards purity

First post updated. Give me some comments and criticism! I know that there are plenty of people out there who are capable of spending a small bit of time to read even just one piece and comment on it. Tell me what you think!

I take it your emo. I read a few, and I must say, your really good. They seem like they would make good linkon park songs.

First post updated - more lyrics added, more of my piece-by-piece comments, and everything is alphabetized. WoL/Snaf/Pengy, if you want me to put the spoiler tags back on everything, pm me and I'll take care of it asap. If you're feeling overwhelmed but want to read some of my best work, I personally think that Hit Me, Tangled. Return, Downfall and Break Free are some of my strongest pieces. Tell me what you think!

e: Emo? HELL NO! also how did you get from emo to linkon Linkin Park? The music of theirs that inspired me (Hybrid Theory EP, Hybrid Theory, Meteora) was classified as rap metal. Only recently have they drastically changed their direction, but it still isn't emo, its alt. metal/rock interspersed with remnants of their older style.

oh well, what the hell i'll show you one of mine.

Ode to the Fallen men

Surrounded by walls,
reducing men to crawl,
I'm on my own.
held safe by Lies
as life decays from my eyes.
i cant see.....

i'm so tired
i'm just so fucking tired.
of it all, will i survive?
will i make it through tonight?
after all i've Become,
and all i've done
i'm still my Mother's son.
and yet i am shunned.

nothing
I have nothing at all.

Fighting to stay Alive. But for what?
to prolong the demons to hound
unbound? inside me
for eternity...

I pray for end, i pray for me
i pray to regain my sanity
For if i loose, i Loose myself
to no one else For
forever and an eternity.
with nothing I sit and wait
for my end, approaching me
swiftly. and calmly.
it takes...

My demons Chase, my Heart Races
Searching for a way out.
Yet i still remain.
Here i am, Locked in place,
Locked from a part of myself.
It's torture.

Bring it back, I need it back
To function, To be human
once more.
and for forever i'll be caged
destroying me from the inside
i rage.
I Fade.

destroying me from the inside
i decay.

Let me free, wont you
let me be, let me be
human once again.
i need myself, to survive

theres no one else
and i'm reminded
that i have nothing.

nothing but my self
but how long will i last?


Basically it came to me in two parts. I originally started it and then while i was talking to another Muso about writting lyrics it just flowed out and onto the page. I've not really revised it, simply because i'm looking for other peoples creative input when i Form this band.
I had also in just 3 weeks watched over 56 Hours of the show Oz about pison life.

i personally like the lyrics. It's alot harder to fit to a beat or song tho because some parts are said faster then others or a Bar is missed out ect.
But i think i got a song going on for it atm so :P

Bod - Snaf told someone else to ditch the spoiler tags, so I went ahead and did the same. Also, make your own gallery thread and put your stuff there. This one's mine!

Bodzilla

hmmm.

spoiler tags would help stop the wall of Text tbh. It's a different type of Media completely so it should be cool.
also thought your Topic was a general thing because your name wasnt in the title :raise:

[GALLERY] Gallery topics are free range--you dont have to have a post icon, and you can add as much art as you have. you may have only ONE gallery topic.
This is my one gallery topic, since I'm only choosing to post my lyrical artwork. If I later decide to post any other forms of art, I'll just have one of our great moderators fix the title.

no thats not what i meant. you never specified this thread was solely for your work alone. You dont have your name in the title and you dont say anything about it being exclusive to you.
you just go "heres some of my lyrics, Blahhhh"

The title is "Lyrical works."
not "Sever's Lyrics"
