I'm working on the lyrics for a few songs. Lyrics are simply poetry set to music. I would love some feedback on the words, please and thank you! Seriously, any opinions at all. Sorry about the length.
"surrounded and secluded"
I’ve been walking in circles for so long
And left my mark
Memorizing the shapes that passed me
Light against dark
Talking to voices inside my head
Protected from you
I know too well what happens
When you break through
Breathe just one more time
I can’t feel you there
And I find
I’m hiding from what’s real
But weakness always shows
I’ve been afraid to feel, and I know
That I waste away the days
With dreams that could’ve been
And I always run away
From remembering when
I’m supposed to decide there’s wrong there’s right
What can’t they find
Surrounded and secluded
In this world of black and white
Draw just one more line
I can’t sort this out
And I find
I’m hiding from what’s real
But weakness always shows
I’ve been afraid to feel, and I know
That I waste away the days
With dreams that could’ve been
And I always run away
From rememb’ring when
Maybe that’s why I was so frustrated
Maybe I needed a hand to hold
Maybe Goodbyes happen every day
Cuz when you walk away
I never know
I’m hiding from what’s real
But weakness always shows
I’ve been afraid to feel, and I know
That I waste away the days
With dreams that could’ve been
And I always run away
From rememb’ring when
Breathe Just one more time. Breathe just one more time
"Bleed"
So long ago so dark at night, walking
You stopped you told me you believed
But I wasn’t sure
Now all the colors in your eyes surround
Intoxicate, then let me down
Agonize over every move and word…
Is it somewhere in the sky or something in your eyes
Do you still believe in love?
Like you said long ago
Things have changed I know
Does the world believe in love
I think that night….
Something changed in me
but I’m still bleeding
Long ago so dark at night sitting
Surrounded by the world
People passing, yelling nothing
And suddenly we was alone
It fell into place and I knew
Something Id always known that I wasn’t alone
Is it somewhere in the sky or something in your eyes
Do you still believe in love?
Like you said long ago
Things have changed I know
Does the world believe in love
I think that night….
Something changed in me
but I’m still bleeding
I don’t wanna see you burn
Don’t wanna see you bleed
Unsure of what you need
But if you knew that I am waiting
Screaming silently while your face dances inside my dreams
The road stretches ahead of me
This is my responsibility
Just take the chance and follow me
Cuz Ill never let you bleed
