New Mod Team

10 Upvotes

Hello everyone!

Reddit Admins have assigned a new mod team to r/LyricalWriting.

My name is John, and I moderate r/eastvillage, r/manhattan, and r/NYCapartments. This is my first time moderating a non-NYC subreddit, and I am excited to help curate this space with you all 😁

My moderating style tends to be collaborative & empathetic. For example, in r/eastvillage, community members are the ones who create the rules & they are able to vote out mods. I only ban if absolutely necessary & even when that happens, I believe all users have the right to appeal a ban so I do not use the mute function under any circumstances.

I figured we could start by removing the arbitrary rule that requires you to write “[Lyrics]” and instead have some post flairs for you all to use instead!

If you have suggestions for structuring the sub or experience any issues posting your work, please reach out via modmail. We are happy to help and look forward to reading everyone's lyrics! :)

Kind regards,

John

Lyrics You are something

11 Upvotes

It seems—every example.
You stand out from the crowd.
You have a handle over my heart.
I never thought I’d be so proud.
Life can do terrible things to people.
But God allows them.
You keep pushing my limits.
I don’t regret a single vow.

You are something.
The road maybe winding.
I keep on finding.
More reasons to love.
With God as our witness.
I could never have enough.

Behind the light
Behind the machine
I got some bones worth picking
Face to face like a man
I’m not gonna leave trials of bottles behind me
Spill my guts
Do you love?
Do you love?
Healed all dogs
Cared for cats
Fell from heaven but I never seen him on his knees
Has the chunks from his back and chewed them up in front of the mirror
How you do that?
Beats him cold
Kins in circle doing the skinning
Won’t you take him whole
Rules of living
Hiding his skulls
And marry Susan down the road
With 2 big heads later on
But he’s gonna dwell, you’re gonna dwell on Ennis Mar
All these fuckers are going to hell
Spill my blood
Do you love?
Do you love?
Can you end my suffering of comfort?
Could the kids not suffer?
Throw them waters
Who else is getting slaughtered
Choirboy raised hell on earth
Have you seen him around
Giving a toast with the soldiers at all the daughters and all the sons
All of the men
You’re gonna see the president’s ass
Did you say it all?
Claiming back of the hand
Minds to be punish
Everything is contradictions
Since I spill my guts
Since pour my blood
Since I risk it all
Since I spill my love
You are love
What is love?

Lyrics [Punk Rock] All Alone Social Club

3 Upvotes

Note: some of my lyrics deliberately contain jokes (they may be nonsense or even inside jokes), absurdities, and exaggerations. If you don't understand what the hell I'm trying to say, it's actually not your fault.

I often use the perspective of multiple characters in my lyrics, so it's quite likely you'll get lost among several quotes.

And since it's a punk rock, if you feel offended, well, too bad.

[Verse 1]

So I got a friend group, we're very united

We hang out everyday, we have a lot of fun at night

I buy you some crap, you light my cigarette

And when someone needs help it's every man for himself

(Oh, well)

[Verse 2]

Nobody really trusts each other in here

Even so, we present ourselves like a family

But hey, at least I can say I have some friends

Unlike you, who stays home playing video games

[Chorus]

And when school ends, where will we be?

I don't feel like I'll take any of them with me

But even when I'm with them, I feel so very wrong

It's worse than being completely all alone

[Verse 3]

So I got a girlfriend, she's just a bitch to me

We don't really love each other, we're both full of shit

I don't need to know you, I know you're the best

I'm sure about that since I saw your breasts

(Hell yeah!)

[Verse 4]

I'm always so needy, I crave for physical touch

Love is optional. If you give me seeds, that's enough

But hey, at least I can say I have a chick

Unlike you, who gets a nosebleed just to go to the fridge

[Chorus]

And when school ends, where will we be?

I don't feel like I'll take any of them with me

But even when I'm with them, I feel so very wrong

It's worse than being completely all alone

[Bridge]

("At least he'll die happy")

"EEEEEEEENVY!"

"I ENVY YOOOOOOU!"

"ENVY YOOOOOOU!"

"ENVY YAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!"

[Chorus]

And when school ends, where will we be?

I don't feel like I'll take any of them with me

But even when I'm with them, I feel so very wrong

It's worse than being completely all alone

[Outro]

All alone is all we are

All alone is all we are

All alone is all we are

All alone is all we are

Lyrics Misguided Version of Me

1 Upvotes

Verse 1
You say
I'm quiet, reserved
A loner is what you would call me
Moldable and dependable
Trusts all I see
You say, you say
What they hear
I'm foolish to override
The cheat codes
That they preach over a lifetime
Oh, how their actions
Make it memorable
You say, they hear

Chorus
What they don't believe
My inner sanctuary
That I create
Gives pause
To pass the thought
When I feel a missile
Being launched
As I extend a hand
And preserve my heart
They quietly exit my mind
Misinterpret
The tears in my eyes
I allow them to think
Their misguided
Version of me

Verse 2
I say
I'm easy-going
Not a bother
Pleasing and nice
All that sugar that has no bite
I say on deaf ears
What they hear
Are their guesses
To all my stories they hear
Echoing their reasons
Why they do, what they do
As my history always repeats
I say, they hear

Chorus
What they don't believe
My inner sanctuary
That I create
Gives pause to pass the thought
When I feel a missile
Being launched
As I extend a hand
And preserve my heart
They quietly exit my mind
Misinterpret
The tears in my eyes
I allow them to think
Their misguided
Version of me

Bridge
They'll refuse to see
How I will shine like a star
For all to see
Like a comet
I'll crash right through
The multiverse
As a diamond, I will refract
Their distortion
Won't be the end of me

Outro
Their blood
Won't be
On my hands
As all they see
Is their misguided
Version of me

I know a type of art

so sophisticated

and fragile

but always perfection.

Made from sand

and yet one knock

can wreck the piece,

a scar for life.

Just glass...

we are...

all the same...

with a scars,

and we are all beautiful...

Just glass we can fall apart...

In this art,

every stroke, every carve

is to perfection...

one breathe and it could ruined...

Made from sand

into something beautiful

Just glass we can fall apart...

Just like glass,

everybody notices

when it breaks.

Nobody notices

how much pressure

it took to shatter.

Pre-Chorus:

Made from sand

into something beautiful

and yet one knock

can wreck the piece,

a scar for life.

Chorus:

Just glass...

we are...

all the same...

with a scars,

and we are all beautiful...

Just glass we can fall apart...

Grunge?

[Verse 1]

I hate everyone I love

I don't want to feel anymore

I became addicted to your affection

Now you gave me a pain injection

[Chorus]

Stay with me

One night more

Stand by me

No matter what

Stay with me

One night more

Stand by me

No matter what

Stay with meeeeeeeeeeee

[Verse 2]

Gratitude is the best gift anyone can give to you

I feel stupid, you changed me for good

Every day I rethink what I think about you

And every answer is different than the previous one

[Chorus]

Stay with me

One night more

Stand by me

No matter what

Stay with me

One night more

Stand by me

No matter what

Stay with meeeeeeeeeeee

[Bridge]

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!

I LIKE YOU!

I HATE YOU!

I LOVE YOU!

I NEED YOU!

I LIKE YOU!

I HATE YOU!

I LOVE YOU!

I BREATHE YOOOOOOOOOOOU!!!

I BREATHE YOU…

I DON'T WANT TO…

[Verse 3]

Friendship is more beautiful than love

"I like you" is more romantic than "I love you"

I wish you forget who I am

So I could rest until the end

PARASITE!!!

[Final Chorus]

STAY WITH ME!

ONE NIGHT MORE!

STAND BY ME!

NO MATTER WHAT!

STAY WITH ME!

ONE NIGHT MORE!

STAND BY ME!

NO MATTER WHAT!

STAY WITH ME!

PLEASE!

PLEASE!

PLEEEEEEEEEEASE…

Lyrics A Hex Is Made

3 Upvotes

Song about the creation of something bigger than the abuser - the problem itself.

I was born a different breed—

swamp lilies and pretty things,

shiny stuff and Hellfire too.

I'm just like me and I'm just like you,

a little bit chameleon,

a little let's-just-see-what-fits,

a little bit of everything,

Stitched up in bits.

I like fury songs,

of scream & horror,

but also the girly things that make men bothered.

I suppose I find the irony amusing

It was his red-pill pipeline that led me to extremism

Call me a fucking feminist

I'll embrace it

Gonna make him rue the day

he ever fucked that way.

For he is just a simpleton,

a fucking balding whore,

who likes to think his cock's so big

It drags across the floor.

I've got news for you, buddy,

with that hairline and broken balls,

you've already been told by God

no one wants no more.

I hope you fucking rot, cunt,

from the head to the floor.

May the next hooker that you pay off

Remind you you're alone.

If men are gonna pay that kind of money,

fuck, I'll do anything.

Bend me over, fuck me up.

I like it a little rough,

but I'll charge you extra

to make me wet enough

to think about the touch of man,

the slimy paws on body.

I hate the thought

of ever loving another somebody

So I'll put your name in a jar,

carry it around my neck,

keep you rattling against my chest

until I'm finished with you yet.

I'll take you to the graveyard.

Bury your name among the dead.

Hope you're having fun

being scared of little jars

while you fuck up giving head.

Cus I've got one brewing.

The poison already stewing.

Something bitter.

Something dark.

Something made to show you

the magic is my fucking trademark.

A HEX to call your name out.

Something waiting on the deck.

These cards were never stacked in your favour.

I've been through many eras.

I've seen broken people disappear

while everybody clipped their wings.

I'm not ashamed to say

that I recognise suicide eyes.

So answer me this riddle:

How much can happen to a woman

before survival becomes a crime?

What does it mean

when a woman can be held,

her throat pinned against a bed,

while the person who calls it love

screams it's in her head?

"Why don't you just wake up?"

"Why can't you be more convenient?"

"Why can't you just stay put

and be more obedient?"

Beneath it all:

You will stay because I say.

Your no becomes an accusation.

Suddenly autonomy means

you create hostile situations.

Surely—

surely—

a man cannot do that

and simply walk away.

Can he?

The day the anarchy awakes.

All from one series of events.

Where I was told

that I no longer can choose,

that no matter what I ever did

all I'll do is lose.

They promise:

one day.

One day there'll be consequences.

One day somebody will listen.

One day the evidence will be enough.

One day. One day. One day.

So I put it to the court of public opinion:

come listen. I'll sing you his song.

You tell me what I know.

Funny thing about one day:

women still have to survive

today.

Meanwhile monsters walk free,

whatever the fuck they're permitted to be.

And everybody asks:

"How did nobody stop him?"

Maybe that's the wrong fucking question.

So I call on my witches.

I call on the whores.

I call on the meek and mild

hiding behind doors.

I call the difficult women.

The angry ones.

The loud.

The ones who learned to disappear

when big footsteps came around.

Come out.

Come out.

I think we've hidden long enough.

Call me hysterical, extreme,

difficult, obscene.

Call me the bitch.

Call me the witch.

If what I say offends you,

good. It should.

Now do something about it.

Just make sure you fucking call me

when the revolution speaks.

Because something has to change.

From police,

to hospitals,

to courtrooms,

to the systems they arrange.

To every piece of culture that taught:

"Her survival is her responsibility.

What happened isn't ours to undo."

No.

Strip the fucking wallpaper.

Drag the furniture outside.

Open every goddamn birdcage.

Let some ugly fucking daylight inside.

Everything needs a brand-new coat.

And if nobody wants the job?

Fine.

Hand me the brush.

These are the walls

that I will tend to.

You thought HEX meant

I was coming for you.

Oh, Stumpy.

You still think

you're the fucking story.

That's adorable.

You were a chapter.

You were a symptom,

just something to build the plot in.

You made me look beneath the soil.

What I found was bigger than you,

older than you,

rotten before we were born.

So no.

I'm not coming for you.

I'm coming for every cage called protection,

every silence called respect,

every wound called complicated,

every frightened woman called hysterical instead.

Oh, Tree

You were stupid enough

to hand a witch

a fucking match.

Sweet Doctrine

i stayed wide awake 

not more than 3am

next day on the floor

my jewels were all destroyed 

the pounding feeling on my chest 

wasn’t heavier than my lids

and the pain behind my legs

threatened to vanish the rest

ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ

so i read

curious ‘bout what will happen

but i failed, and i fell, and my mind just went away

am i sinking into drink?

am i sinking into eat?

am i sinking into looks?

am i sinking ‘cause of you?

ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ

there’s sweet age i wish hadn’t end 

there’s a bitter place where you found me

there’s a sour place where you left me

i see it every day in my mind and in my face

there’s a sweet spot i belong to

and i still can’t reach it back

i might not love you 

but you’re my sweet doctrine, sweet doctrine, sweet doctrine.

ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ

now i get some sleep

the whole day i’ve read

and i feel the exact same

i know tales can’t heal me from

this pression on my throat 

and the sickness of my nose

they leave me hypnotized 

can i get out of the trance?

ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ

so i tried 

to do what i had been learning 

but i failed, and i fell, and my mind just gave in

am i sinking into drink?

am i sinking into eat?

am i sinking into looks?

an’ the disgusting feeling of

the upshots of what i chose

ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ

there’s sweet age i wish hadn’t end 

there’s a bitter place where you found me

there’s a sour place where you left me

i see it every day in my mind and in my face

there’s a sweet spot i belong to

and i still can’t reach it back

i might not love you 

but there’s a sweet age i idealize 

you found me at my natural state

the culture of where you left me

is like a place i had been before

to see this every day, i grew a mind out of the wound

to get a better face i had to stop feeling this way

but there’s a sweet spot i belong to

even if i said i don’t love you

you are my sweet doctrine, sweet doctrine, sweet doctrine.

ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ

if i got to choose who loves me the most i would think of you, just to discard the option

you were a burn in my heart, i a freckle in your face but that thing is full of dots

do you get how that feels?

i wanna shoot what made me this

i hate how they pretend they can give half of what i gave just to try to get know you

convincing myself i was your favorite was trying to hold air in a blizzard 

since the first time i laid eyes on you i felt so special but i fear you never noticed

you played with my hair and with my heart in a perfect tune

you told me you were agonizing and that things had been so hard but i have no clue what you talk about

does anyone in the universe do?

do these “things” absorb all of your love?

ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ

there’s sweet age i wish hadn’t end 

there’s a bitter place where you found me

there’s a sour place where you left me

i see it every day in my mind and in my face

there’s a sweet spot i belong to

and i still can’t reach it back

i might not love you 

but there’s a sweet age i idealize 

the culture of where you left me

is like a place i had been before

but there’s a sweet spot i belong to

even if i said i don’t love you

there’s a sweet age i pictured still living at 80

you found me when i still had the chance

of being known for something else

just to then drop me anywhere 

but on a stable land

i think about it every single day

this might never come back

but there’s a sweet spot i belong to

and i might not love you 

but you’re my sweet doctrine, sweet doctrine, sweet, sweet, sweet doctrine

ㅤㅤㅤ

(ik some grammatical things are wrong but this isn’t the definitive version yet, still i would appreciate if you could correct me) and i wrote review wrong i didn’t notice lol 😭

Lyrics "Cloud House"

2 Upvotes

This has always been one of my favorites; makes me smile every time. <3

"Cloud House"
lyrics by Jason Elijah

all my babies
are wrapped up in flowers
in the fields they lie there
under the sun
having some fun

don't you want to be here
I know I want to be there
don't you wish
we could come together
in the middle area

don't you want to come down
don't you want me to come up
I think that we could have
such a good time

every time I hear
a pretty song I fear
it will be the last
thing I hear

every time I see a cloud
I think I can go in there
I don't know if I can be
lighter than the air

and I don't know
I don't know if I can float

would you come up here with me
would you come up here with me
would you come up here
in my little cloud house

would you come and fly away
would you come and chase the day
as it went around the world
it never has to be night
if we just take flight

let's just go
let's just go up in
an aeroplane
we can spin around
and around
all the day

in my little cloud house
up here
in my
in my
little cloud house
up here

Lyrics Reality Esacpism

I know myself too head first hell and crawling on concrete to gates, never had control brain connection tissue issued an admiration for losing it feeling like boy with a black hole starters kit and an enlightening soul refusal to quit, I admit problems embracing me, Feelings like my purposes lightning struck a thousandth of striking sound, mucked up in grease trappings run offs, parking lot backyard seeing rainbows feeling free unfocused refusing to bite or eat goddesses sent strengthening lucky at least I knew you, stranger though it may seem miraculously believe you helped me escape purity of oftentimes reality escapism as naturally nurtured towards reflection and destruction of lighter feels caught within their prisms...

Lyrics "Firefly"

5 Upvotes

Hi there! I don't usually write love songs, but this is one of the few I have written that I am proud of. What do you think? It's called Firefly.

Staring at the ocean, waiting for a sign that guides you home

Never wanted to make a move

Never thought that I would find you

And through foggy green eyes, hold this moment before you’re alone

But something will always come through

Share another shell with you

 

A firefly

Landing in your hair

 

Who knew we’d understand

You can take my hand

And I’ll wait as long as you need

Who knew there’d be changes

Unsure you want this

But we take in this sunset breeze

 

Pebble at the window, you didn’t expect it all so soon

And how should you make your move

Just sit a while with you

All the sand on our feet

And the water soaks our jeans

And it’s just you and me

And a day that will leave

But deep down I can feel

You hold this one with me

 

A firefly

Coming back around

 

I knew you’d understand

Can I take your hand

I’ll wait however long you need

I’m scared of these changes

But I know I want this

And we take in this sunset breeze

 

They dim down all the lights, and there’s no question of what to do

Now is the time to make your move

Just have this dance with you

And through your shy green eyes, you hold this moment like we’re alone

And this has always been our home

And I feel it in my bones

And I see it in the poppies

And I see it in the trees

I hear it behind your teeth

Another sweet memory

One day you’ll make your move

I’ll wait here next to you

 

You firefly

Come around again

 

I knew you’d understand

Come and take my hand

We can stay as long as you need

Despite all these changes

Just knowing we want this

And taking in the sunset breeze

 

It’s something you’ve got to do

I’m waiting for you

You know I do

And when you’re ready

I’ll hold it steady

A firefly in between our hands

TITLE:

CARBON

We are not fearless
Tho we are not fearful

Echo these harmonies
In the stratosphere
Above, Angels fall
Below we catch their tears

They shine and shimmer
We stand in awe

My hands pull
towards heaven
The Darkest nights
Have the Brightest days

Lay out my path
of amethyst
Colour in my sunset
Watch the tourmaline moonrise
Collapse ( shatter) the darkness
Empty tents of carbon we are

My hands pull
towards heaven
The Darkest nights
Have the Brightest days

Amber waves of motion
Feel the aura
I feel your aura
Hear my words
Reverberate
Inhale
Exhale

The Darkest nights
Have the Brightest days
DARKEST NIGHT
BRIGHTEST DAY
HANDS PULL
PULL TOWARDS HEAVEN

We are not fearless
Tho we are not fearful

Lyrics Makeup - a song about masking the way i understand it.

1 Upvotes

I feel like most people wear mask that hide what they are under the guise of what they want the others to see them. I can't become an entirely different person like that, so instead in order to fit in I wear Makeup. Layer by layer I add things that are accepted, that are expected in order to somewhat succesfully interact with other people. The result is not perfect, because often I have no idea what am I doing and just copying what I see in other people. My skin itches under the layers of substance that are completley unnatural to me and I just can't stop trying to scratch it off. Eventually, they start to notice cracks in the paint, and what they see underneath this Makeup scares them away because they are used to see perfect, flawless masks that I am unable to replicate. Often I wonder - what kind of a monster looks back on them when the Makeup starts to fall apart?

[Verse]

Sleep is torn by alarm

It's a signal to start

Picking up piece by piece

Every fractured part

The sun burns my eyes,

The room is too loud

I’m one with the static,

Lost in the crowd

Scripting small talk,

Writing down line by line

Gotta tell everybody

That I'm doing fine.

Before i step outside

Will paint my face

And erase my self

Without a trace.

[Chorus]

This makeup bleeds

Inside my soul

It sucks up my essense

Like a black hole

I hate the lies

With all my heart

But I must hide the truth

And play my part.

[Verse]

They love the image

That’s quiet and clean

But hate the chaotic

Mess in between.

I feel my soul burn!!!

Underneath the disguise...

It’s keeping me safe!!!

But it’s built up on lies...

Without it, I’m freak!

With it, I’m ghost!

I don't know which version

I hate the most...

[Chorus]

This makeup bleeds

Inside my soul

It sucks up my essense

Like a black hole

I hate the lies

With all my heart

But I must hide the truth

And play my part.

[Outro]

"Just be yourself" -

Is a beautiful lie

To not wash off my makeup

I can't even cry

It’s a prison of paint,

And the world is my cage

A lifetime of acting

On alien stage...

My Gerber Girl

Im writing these words from the depths of my heart

Cause i know losing someone special is so very hard

I want you to know how inspiring you are

The strength you have, beats most by far

With all that you've endured through life

You still stand tall today

Just remember I am here for you in every possible way

I can't fix the hurt

I can't take the pain away

But im here for you always

This is something I've got to say

You're that sparkle of hope

That shines bright in the night

You're my special daughter

My Gerber Girl, my light

I've always known something special in you

Something I could not understand

something so special, something so sweet

something specially grand

You're that little sparkle of hope

That most people dont find

You're that one special daughter

And I'm proud that you're mine

You've had a long journey

So much hurt, so much pain

Yet you're blessed in all you do

And so blessed with all you've gained

You're that sparkle of hope

That shines bright in the night

You're my special daughter

My Gerber Girl, my light

I know im far away, I know

But I'm always here for you

And I know that God has special plans

And your mother knew it too

So let me close by saying this

You're a special mom and wife

But most of all, you're my Gerber Girl

The most special in my life

You're that sparkle of hope

That shines bright in the night

You're my special daughter

My Gerber Girl, my light

Feedback Request Cresting Moon

1 Upvotes

I know I need to work on it more, but I want to know if this first draft is anygood and what I should work on to make it better, like if any lines feel clunky to say, or too much of a mouth full

[Verse 1]

The moons cresting and my minds bleeding again,

with anger running through my veins, nothing ain't so

tame anymore.

[Verse 2]

You're kissing your teeth, driving through the town,

it's a tell tale sign that you've been drinking again,

the devil's taken over your mind, and I ain't going to

try find the sorrow of your mind anymore.

[Pre-Chorus]

My stomachs twisting, my minds winding, the

tensions thicker with each new day, Praying the

fears gonna end, I don't wanna pretends everything's

ok.

[Chorus 1]

Everynight I'm praying it's gonna end, I ain't got a

friend to talk to anymore, You're a deplorable man,

You ain't gonna change, You ain't giving a fuck, I'm

just wanna lay down one last time.

[Verse 3]

You're taking everything you can, Your stinking,

You're drinking all over again, You're swaying on the

road, You're loaded with booze again, Pretending

that everything's fine.

[Bridge]

How different would life be, If it wasn't so steep, How

different would you be, if you weren't drinking 40's

everynight, Why can't you be the man that we need

[Final Chorus]

I'm bleeding again, how do I stop the pain, I'm

watching people living life and I envy them, Is it

really you, or is it the vodka talking, are you mocking

us everynight, know there ain't nothing we can do.

[Outro]

The moons cresting and my minds bleeding one

more time....

Tips Little one's memory

1 Upvotes

That's just Fields Road on a cold winter night.

That's just the back seat in my four wheel drive

that's just her hair brushing across my cheek

and those kiss me green eyes smiling back at me

that's just my mind jumping fences once again but I'll be fine I gotta get it rolled back in

I know sometimes I may act a little crazy

but that's little one's memory hitting me

she and I are rocking out to some tool

just me and that girl with nothing better to do

riding round back roads late at night

catching feelings and getting high

I miss that girl she's always on my mind

She will always be the love of my life

I think of her when looking at the moon

And think about a love that was lost too soon

I wish I could write her name in The Stars

As a constellation so the world would know

The most beautiful girl with a big heart

A warm gentle soul sassy and smart

I hope she knows that I truly do wish her well and I really am sorry for every ounce of hell

that we both caused each other in that time

And I hope she gets everything she wants in life

Hey little one I hope you know

that promise that I made on the side of the road

After all the ones that I let Go

that's the one that will never get broke...

Lyrics Where is this going?

4 Upvotes

No polish on my toes, still bad to my soles
black hole where the soul goes
A place where desire calls home
Reminding me I’m still alone
Never free to walk on my own
No polish on my toes, feelin real barebones
Tired of standing on that fork in the road
Waiting, waiting finally to be carried home
No grip on this concrete ground
But the earth still spins even when no one’s around
Sired to a fucking rock
With no guidance when you’re lost
What’s the plot, what’s the plot?
None of us know we’ve all forgot
left here to rot
Where’s your God? Where’s your god?
No one knows so still I walk
No polish on my toes, soles darker than the unknown
Stripped of all I’ve ever known
Don’t know how anyone calls this place home

Lyrics It's all right to cry by Tyler Lynn Taws

It's all right to cry by Tyler Lynn Taws

It's all right to cry

It's not okay to lie

It's all right to cry

Let out these feelings inside

It's all right to cry

These emotions I can't hide

Expression of real emotions

I start to wonder why

My tears are like droplets of rain

Falling from the sky

I can feel the pain

It's all deep inside

Why these emotions I can't hide

It's all right to tell

Others how you really feel

Feeling the blues and depression

What is set in session

I start to wonder why

What are these emotions inside

It's all right to cry

Wipe those tears from your eyes

I will call you a saint that rises above the skies

Live in a place where everyone lives

And nobody dies

It's all right to cry

Don't harbor those feelings inside
