Hey this is faunbard and i am doing a rock songwriting contest Rules no vulger or innapropiate lyrics Please dont have it be super long Include tital and username Optional: include genra of rock- ex soft rock, metelic, ect Rock on!
Yes...what? There were two options. That's like saying, "Do we eat the candy now or later?" "Yes." Honestly, I'm confuzzled. You need to clarify this contest.
I have lyrics, but I've yet to find a way to record the music, mainly because my friend backed out...but that's another story. However, you've provided scant detail, so I'm a little lost, do we need the music (which I lack)? Or are lyrics fine (which I have).
It's 4am, and I'm staring at the ceiling again Drifting somewhere in between realities Another day, another wasteful night As curtain thin walls drown the noise This is what they seem to call paradise But from where I lie I see plastered Faces in my window. Faces in my window.
And can't you see that I'm not sleeping? I'm somewhere caught between What you told me, and how I answered Don't sit there and lie to me... 'Cause I'm no longer sleeping.
Dawn is coming over the horizon And here I am wide awake, again. Today is, just like any other, Where my bloodshot eyes are unfocused On that old plywood floor. And I hear the sounds of those plastered faces Knocking at my door!
And can't you see that I'm not sleeping? I'm somewhere caught between What you told me, and how I answered Don't sit there and lie to me... 'Cause I'm no longer sleeping.
I'm no longer sleeping, I'm not longer sleeping I'm no longer sleeping, no longer sleeping
And can't you see that I'm not sleeping? I'm somewhere caught between What you told me, and how I answered Don't sit there and lie to me... 'Cause I'm no longer sleeping.
Don't sit there and lie to me I can hear those plastered faces whisper, In the sound of your voice I'm no longer sleeping...
OP might need some re-jigging though. Things you need are:
1) A deadline 2) To specify exactly what you're looking for 3) Any special notes on how you're to judge this.
If this kicks off I recommend creating a new thread with the above. I think the OP should be able to contribute but just not judge themselves, too!
Okay, here's one I wrote quite recently. I've actually got backing music written using Punk-O-Matic 2 (it sounds crazy, as in actually a bit crazy), but otherwise here you go. Short, fast, loud and slightly comical.
Spoke in My Wheel
Just when it was going well for me, You had to issue your royal decree, But didn't you know, I know you did, no? That you would leave me with nothing to show, (scream)
You stuck your hand in my heart, And then you tore it apart, I thought you were for real, Was I a spoke in your wheel? But that's okay, yeah that's okay, Coz I knew it would turn out like this anyway.
So I guess I'll be going now, I was waiting for this day anyhow, But didn't you know, I know you did, no? I was already thinking of somewhere else I could go, (scream)
Well what did you expect, Allow me to be direct, You broke your end of the deal, You put a spoke in my wheel, But that's okay, yeah that's okay, Coz I knew it would turn out like this anyway.
