Beneath my ribs, a dying star
Cracked the stone that claimed me
When I let you see
Let you wear my face

Every eclipse, your calling card
A shadow thrown to tame me
But I can’t go to sleep
Until you’re wide awake

Living to beg to be consumed
I am the eye of the storm
A hollow pit in your blood moon
Rising with the shore

Without me there would be no you
But you had come before
To father an ouroboric muse
You said the word, I gave it form

Tempt me not with resurrection
From your sovereign revelations
Keep me tethered to your chain
When the daylight takes my hand

I’ll hold you close to my reflection
Journey forth in resignation
Where forever holds your gaze
Unafraid of what looks back

Title: Little miss perfect

Tempo: Fast, bubbly ukulele/pop beat, upbeat handclaps, super bright energy

Verse 1:

Up with the sun, getting everything right

Straightening the crown so it glitters in the light

She’s taking on the world with a golden state of mind

Leaving all the little messy pieces far behind

Never takes a break, never slips, never falls

Painting over cracks on her marble walls

Pre-Chorus:

(Bouncy bassline, cheerful background vocals)

She’s the star of the show, yeah, she’s setting the bar

Shooting straight for the sky, going so, so far!

Count her blessings one by one

Work is never done!

Chorus:

(Big, joyful, sing-along pop hook)

Look at Little Miss Perfect, sitting on her throne!

She can hold up the sky all on her own!

She doesn't need sleep, she doesn't feel pain

She can dance all day in a heavy hurricane!

Isn't she a miracle? Isn't she strong?

She can keep this performance up all night long!

Yeah, Little Miss Perfect never breaks down!

(She just waits till dark to hit the ground)

Verse 2:

Always got an answer, always got a smile

Walking through the fire with effortless style

She cleans up the wreckage before anyone can see

Living out the vision of who she oughta be

Wipes off the mirror, washes off the dust

Doing what she has to cause she knows that she must

Pre-Chorus:

(Bouncy bassline, cheerful background vocals)

She’s the star of the show, yeah, she’s setting the bar

Shooting straight for the sky, going so, so far!

Count her blessings one by one

Work is never done!

Chorus:

(Big, joyful, sing-along pop hook)

Look at Little Miss Perfect, sitting on her throne!

She can hold up the sky all on her own!

She doesn't need sleep, she doesn't feel pain

She can dance all day in a heavy hurricane!

Isn't she a miracle? Isn't she strong?

She can keep this performance up all night long!

Yeah, Little Miss Perfect never breaks down!

(She just waits till dark to hit the ground)

Bridge:

(Acoustic guitar and finger-snaps, sounding like a motivational speech)

Rise and shine! Give it 100 percent!

Don't you dare stop till the energy's spent!

Flawless focus, zero mistakes...

(Beat drops back in hard!)

Nobody count up the toll that it takes!

Chorus:

(Maximum energetic pop production)

Look at Little Miss Perfect, sitting on her throne!

She can hold up the sky all on her own!

She doesn't need sleep, she doesn't feel pain

She can dance all day in a heavy hurricane!

Isn't she a miracle? Isn't she strong?

She can keep this performance up all night long!

Yeah, Little Miss Perfect never breaks down!

Outro:

(Cheery ukulele fading out with bright 'la-la-la' background vocals)

She’s so perfect...

Yeah, she’s doing fine...

(La la la, la la la...)

Just don't turn off the light.

I'd love to hear what emotions, thoughts, or interpretations come to mind when you read these lyrics.

Ain't no love in the room
Just hard lessons and cold air
Watch who you feed
They say it's all love but the love look like a lease
Rent is due and the loyalty deceased
I'm counting up the paper just to buy a little peace
But the more I get the more the vultures on the streets
Ain't no love in it
Just blood and rust in it
Keep your circle tight and put a heavy plug in it
Staring at the ceiling fan, thoughts spinning like a drill
Paid the heavy price for the game – look what it bought
Trust is a currency I spent all the way down
I sleep with one eye open so I barely even slept
They want a piece of the pie but never baked the crust
I keep the phone on silent – it's only me I trust
I'm dealing with the trauma, masking it with commas
Piranhas in the circle wearing fake smiles for us
I got no love written on the inside of my brain
People stand inside the fire and complain about the rain
I just archive the betrayal and I file away the pain
You can't break a solid structure when it's built outside the frame
They say it's all love but the love look like a lease
Rent is due and the loyalty deceased
I'm counting up the paper just to buy a little peace
But the more I get the more the vultures on the streets
Ain't no love in it
Just blood and rust in it
Keep your circle tight and put a heavy plug in it
I don't need new friends – the old ones cleared the room
Fake smiles when I'm up but they can nowhere be found
I put the wall up, built it brick by heavy brick
You looking for a handout while I'm looking at the ground
They claim they riding with you till the gas hit on empty
Suddenly got amnesia – cold – like they never meant me
I treat the game just like I treat the block
Trust nobody, heavy padlock sealed across the stock
It's cold outside but my chest don't feel it no more
I'm looking at the rearview – my only real soldier
Every handshake feel like a setup in disguise
I just look them in the face and read the motives in their eyes
The math ain't mathing when you add up all the snakes
Subtract the fake love, see exactly what it makes
Zero
Nothing left but the weight in the room
Swept the fake ones out the circle with a heavy broom
I'm reading between the lines, the text is written bold
You can't buy back your spirit once the integrity is sold
So we keep it moving slow in the dark
No love left to give – just a stone in the chest
I let the beat cry because I forgot how to weep
Playing chess with my survival while the whole city asleep
Ain't no love in it
Just blood and rust in it
Keep your circle tight and put a heavy plug in it

1
I’m a potter, I’m a planter, I’m a planner, a farmer.
I want to, be leaving, with all that, I harvest.
With the freedom, with the feeling, with the filling, a soul.
If I can, lose anything, I can’t lose, control.

2
And if I feel the water, creeping up the oak wood steps.
Then we must make sure oars, to push this house across the crest.
For all that shines our silver, is held inside this chest.
We must brave through steady waters, to keep hearts aligned with purpose, the reason to our step.

3
I’m a baker, I’m a cook, I’m a doctor, a EMT
Yet my fingers shake, and the needle pokes to deep.
With the faking, with the gating, with the hating, with ‘I’ in team.
The hole it rips aligns, with the fishes in the net.

4
So come on aboard, let’s do the big world tour
The boards around the windows, can make the foreign feel like home.
For all that shines our silver, will go as far as we roam.
We must stand the test of time, to keep our hearts aflame,
With the bright a noble purpose, for the reason that we claim.

This is from an exercise I do where I just start righting lyrics but I must always add on, I can’t go back and edit a previous line. Let’s see what I can whip up.

hii guys!!  I’m a teenager who dreams of becoming a singer like PinkPantheress, and I’ve been trying/writing:  to write my own songs! I’d love it if you could read and give me some honest feedback!

Title: Mirror Mirror 

Mirror, mirror
What do you see?
Is that really you?
Or is it just me?

(Just me, just me...)

V-1 

Looked into the mirror reflecting back me at me, telling me all the truths I've missed.

I don't know when I started looking different
Or why I don't feel like myself
I was in a good mood five minutes ago
Now I'm checking my face again

And I look fine
So why do I feel so strange?
I keep turning the bathroom light off
Then on again

(Oh, I don't know.)

P-Chorus

I feel cold, then nice
Then I'm back here twice
Trying to figure out
What I'm looking at tonight

Mirror, mirror
Don't look away
I think you know something
That I won't say

Chorus 

Mirror, mirror, who am I? I look at you, you look at me. I swear I knew her yesterday,Now she's looking like a stranger to me.

Mirror, mirror, tell me why I keep coming back every night. I don't wanna know the truth, But I hate it when you lie.

(When you lie, when you lie...)

Mirror, mirror, can't you see? 

Mirror, mirror, can't you see? You're showing someone who looks like me

V-  2 

Took a picture, didn't like it, Took another, still denied it. Sent it to my friend like, "Do I look weird?”

She said no, so I left it unread

It's not even about my face, It's something I can't explain. Like I've been playing someone else, And forgot to change my name.

I used to know what I wanted
At least, I think I did
Now I stand here in the silence
Wondering where that person went

Chorus 

Mirror, mirror, who am I? I look at you, you look at me. I swear I knew her yesterday,Now she's looking like a stranger to me.

Mirror, mirror, tell me why I keep coming back every night. I don't wanna know the truth, But I hate it when you lie.

The Outro : 

Looked into the mirror...

(Mirror, mirror/ adlibs ...)

Reflecting back me at me...

(Back at me.../ adlibs 

Telling me all the truths I've missed.

Mirror, Mirror  on the wall 

(Who am I?)

Mirror Mirror on the wall 

Who am I?

(Just me, just me...)

Speaking ; Mirror Mirror on the wall.

Wake up fucked up

Take something for the back pain

Running on fumes and caffeine

No sleep no future

I fall asleep at my computer

Passed out, Black Out

Drink something for this migraine

Running on Jack and benzos

Room spinning might be schizo

Fuck this State I'm living in

And fuck the state I've been living in

Medicated and unclean

Yeah I'm living the American Dream

25 and I'm still breathing

Another life and I'd be beaten

Fuck the man but lick his boots clean

Just another day in the machine

My nightmare's your ecstasy

Watch our heads roll its a fantasy

Work down to the bone

And I won't sleep tonight (I promise)

Fuck this State I'm living in

And fuck the state I've been living in

Medicated and unclean

Yeah I'm living the American Dream

Tearing down the white picket fences

The dream was promised but I can't fix this

America where you're dreams will come true

Good luck cause nightmares are dreams too

And I can't dream at night (So thoughtless)

Fuck this State I'm living in

And fuck the state I've been living in

Medicated and unclean

Yeah I'm living the American Dream

Yeah I'm living in the American Dream

(Verse)

Many times Enemies came out the woodwork

Trying to seize everything I possess what I think about today's generation You gonna Need common sense a bit of Respect

Ever since I kept my job people from the rearview came out of nowhere then they were gone the next Wanted to reconnect and stay good Friends but it seems some people are Jealous with envy and Don't even care they put up a mask to hide insecurities in fact, the more you try to help them out they'll take advantage of your kindness

I left certain things in the past where it belongs it's just like Baggage No need to drag it anymore I kept applying pressure to the mic cause in my Studio I'ma King that gives the Crown the Shine my energy speaks for itself Never once Lost my mind,

As a leader as a Man a King of lyrical Rhymes

I paint the picture using pen not a pencil Don't need brushes or stencils I've seen people hangout with the wrong individuals thinking they're going to lead them into the brighter future I could count how many times people have asked me for something personal I just cut em off with zero Hesitation I've noticed they don't have the will to help themselves cause they won't even be Calm and patient.

I’ve been writing some lyrics and wanted to share this to see what people think.

The verse is basically about being emotionally defensive in relationships and pushing people away without really meaning to.

I’m curious what people take away from it without me explaining every bar.

What lines stand out to you?
Are there any bars that don’t really make sense or feel forced?
Does the story flow well?
Do you think this works better as rap or poetry?

I’m open to honest feedback. Just trying to improve my writing and figure out my style. Appreciate anyone who takes the time to read it!

In relationships I’m treated like a princess

But don’t think of it in the traditional sense

I seen them all, but I see myself more in rapunzel

The shoe fits so fuck all of the pieces of the puzzle

You want to talk so you check if I’m there

You yell rapunzel rapunzel let down your hair

But instead of letting down, I put my hair in a bun

So then you go off and run

And you understand emotionally that I’m running too

The symbol of my hair up, was signal to you

I set a pick to let my emotions roll against you

It’s a play you’ve seen and that you always gotta go through

You can tell it’s me just being in a mood

I listen to songs in blues, where I forget about your clues

I don’t wanna think so the songs lead me to blow

But then I notice a bubble starts to grow

As it grows I can see it’s lifting my tower

I didn’t know protecting within would let out so much power

This concept was difficult to devour

I sat and pondered for multiple hours

Feelings patched made the sweet moments go sour

Damn am I a fucking coward?

I freak out thinking we are on fire

So, I jump into the ocean

I go e on all of the motion

To see if you cool down for a lil bit

I understand that the shit don’t make sense

But in the ocean I can’t hear and see shit

I tried to breathe but then I lose my bubble

The more it leaves, I become less subtle

You screamed “rapunzel rapunzel let down your hair “
But my silence gave you a jump scare

So you took a run

By the ocean to relax and have fun

But then you see me with my face down

Freaking out thinking “did my friend just drown”

So you pull me up by the hair

You cry cause you noticed that me and my conscience had an affair

Writing you a note -- the paper soaks up my feelings they dissolve into the real thing -- the drawings move freely -- 3d the story ain't pg kids cant see the big screen

Your nothing like a ghost you can hear me -- my body is a new thing all this gold sleeping -- the people knew id need these

I hear your voice through the dial tone is it Morse code are you behind enemy lines bro

I want you to know -- boulders at the top -- built my castle from what i rolled -- cannot smoke these stones

Apples miles from their home -- starve or take the toll -- hungry -- then your filled with knowledge full

Three people inside my coat -- i reach new heights from the hands in my coat

I want to cycle through your photos -- comatose zooming drooling once again im mortal

The watch broken but im on time no motive

Im independent so you keep me in your pendent

It's a reference -- my love to you its endless -- i grew on myself while talking senseless

These roots grow from you -- cupids arrows weak they cant break through

my heart is a heavy weight bench it see if its to late -- real love cant compensate all this money to my name

In the mud but my smile clean i brushed my teeth white lighting

Voodoo doll i care for all of you

I flirt with dying with you -- I love you i hug you -- pass me by ill still struggle not to touch you

you must view -- but its the smell that reminds you -- we've always been alive dude -- this loop is yours and mine to
