    hi everyone! im new to this website. my name is Michael! and im 17 years old. I aspire to become a guitarist/vocalist, so most of what i put down are supposed to be songs that I have written. At least the lyrics for them ;). PLEASE COMMENT AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE! AMAP! i want to know if you hate it, if you love it, if you obsess over it, or if you think it is garbage. please be blunt, please dont be afraid, and as much constructive criticism as possible! Thank you! Peace. Love. Unity. Happiness.:jester:

    The Architect is raging inside me,
    And so is his unconditional love.
    Some take it to extremes,
    But I feel I know just enough.
    The bronzing green statue
    Had it all figured out.
    I will accept any huddled mass you bring,
    And commence to change lives,
    As they sway while I sing.

    You are the Titanic.
    Taking others down as you fall.
    I am the dark Atlantic.
    You may have lifeboats,
    But I own icy walls.

    Someone save our ship.
    I understand children. We all do.
    I was told all men are created equal.
    Dying males dishonor this truth.
    Warm your hands young man.
    This may be the coldest your mind can feel.
    I would wake you up if I could,
    But this is real.

    You are the Titanic.
    Taking others down as you fall.
    I am the dark Atlantic.
    You may have lifeboats,
    But I own icy walls.

    Can you see the lights?
    Coming from the west?
    We are surprised
    And impressed
    Our signals distressed -
    How could it be
    That the world would save energy
    Without this vest?

    This cold air bites my hands,
    And turns them to sandpaper, and
    My eye is bothering me,
    So I think I'll pull out an eyelash.
    By now it's sunset,
    So I assume the east coast is dark, and
    Maybe when I blow my hands
    You'll be making a wish upon a star.
    I am waiting,
    And starting to stand alone.
    I feel my worth.
    Because lately I've expanded.
    These times are Kodak,
    And those times too.
    In the youth band
    I saw a savior,
    And he saved me
    From regret, and
    While he fiddled with his guitar,
    He found you to be blessed, and
    The tidal wave threw your parents overboard
    As mas amigos huddled, and cried,
    "Oh! My Lord!"
    "Where have you been my Lord?"
    "The goats have been neglected,
    And the wine is red."
    In your house we toast to living,
    And forget the dead.
    I brought some nails in the trunk.
    I'd be glad to share.
    If that would save the dead.
    If that would save the dead.
    If that would save the dead.

    To anyone but us
    These words have no meaning.
    Don't try to hush them.
    Children never stop screaming.
    And in a dream I had
    I was just dreaming.
    These humans will destroy themselves.
    Keep on breeding.

    I believe in a God,
    but I don't know his name.
    And any who claim to
    Will be burnt at the stake.
    Don't commit blasphemy -
    For heaven's sake.
    We're all just waiting
    To be taken away

    But we are resilient.
    We will prevail.
    And all I am hearing
    is hollowed out tones.
    I am a hunter.
    You sound like a whale.
    Blubber for sale
    Will save me from being stoned.

    Don't be a beggar,
    For those deserve none.
    And porters and merchants
    Will rise from the slums.
    These trading harbors
    Will run red with blood.
    Cold hearterd killed
    And revolutionized with love.

    Non-believers
    Will perish with hate.
    Father tells followers
    They will pierce the gates.
    The one I believe
    Never clouded the sky.
    Silent protest fills
    The honest with pride.
    I will believe only in myself
    Until I die.
    I will scale the gates
    Of the place
    My father's still lie.

    Seems like a good start to me.
    Do you have any rythm picked out for these yet?

    Keep writing, this is good stuff.

    I do have rythms to most of these songs mapped out in my head. The hard part is turning mind into sound.

    and thank you :)

    It would be awesome if these lines
    Could send shivers up your spine,
    And if they can
    Will you copy them and show me?!

    :)
    But seriously.

    Welcome......

    Try humming into a cassette recorder, and then use (piano, guitar, etc.) whatever instrument you have, and translate your rythm into music.

    I have seen the wild children.
    They lack language and walk on all fours.
    We see soldiers dying for freedom,
    And know they were fighting for yours.

    In the beginning we bombarded their boats,
    And the banner held fast through the fire.
    Kill for tyranny and steal for the poor,
    But be careful of becoming a liar.

    Chorus:
    Speak your mind and don't be scared,
    For fear governs the weak.
    I've been spit on, beat up, and hated.
    Wise men were once not so meek.


    Some still say-
    They say that sinners won't make it to God.
    Technology-
    They say will make humans devolve.
    Parents pray-
    That they will die before their sons do.
    Impacting lives-
    Is an addiction we need to abuse.

    Chorus


    Sometimes don't you wish the world was colder
    Than absolute zero degrees?
    Only then could we cease all this movement
    And witness the world fall to it's knees.
