I've been writing a lot of this junk, and figured it'd be fun to get a thread going for this stuff. I know a lot of other people here write lyrics and poems and the like.
Some Lil Internet Poem Thing
I miss my glasses
My eyes hurt
I wonder if you look better, more detailed
I don't know if that's possible, though.
Actually a song I'm working on. I have a demo somewhere, if anyone wants.
I can't say I know what you're thinking
Guess that I barely know you
And I think you know what they say, babe
Sleep with a singer and he'll tell the whole world
Well you're layin' in my bed
Grab some coffee and a cigarette
Cause it's all let down
All let down
From here
I can't act like I'm all that upset
I didn't think that it would work in the end
And now I guess that we're friends
But I have a little doubt about that
Well, I think you know what they say babe,
Sleep with a singer and he'll tell the whole world
Cause it's all let down
All let down
From here
Cause it's all let down
All let down
From here

best set of lyrics I've written so far. Started as a poem, became a song.
Fourteen Days
in small towns the fall broke
washed up and rose
went out for walks
craved nothing but time/not on my side
the waves could never align
fourteen days, drifting at sea
hands on guardrails/you----
borne up by our words
we lived silent film
I asked if they wouldn't mind
I'd sit facing the wall
this remarkable recess
something very good, and very different
fourteen days, vast lands for free
our hands on guardrails and/you----
wordless, this world would show
it all went back to the trip at sea
"you're wrong," but was I really
the lighthouse scene was the last
the travel had come to a close/you----

"you're wrong," but was I really
It's just a single line, but I
really like this one specifically.

Here's the end of a song I've been working on for a while:
Sleeping off the cigarette glow as you select your seasonal decision diodes
You roll out your silicone mat to cut off my arms and put nothing back
And you said:
"Please just give up, give up,
there's nothing we can do here
for your heart, though we're the force that's held your head"
In the end,
if I blow my brains out,
please find comfort in your conscience:
It is not your fault
IEatCats, I like your short little poem.
I've been writing a lot of little things like that lately.
I kind of want to make them into short songs, like 30 seconds to a minute long with just one verse.
Almost like ad jingles, but instead they're only advertising my insecurities.

thanks. That came from one of those dreams that stays with you for too long.

Cool idea. Here's one of mine
back in '94 we left the kids out in the car
as the hearse backed up the driveway
and into your numb heart
but you watched it from the kitchen
watched it taking him away
the lightness of your body
and the shaking of your legs
back in '94 when you stayed awake for days
after all the flowers wilted
and the phone barely even rang

I like that ^^^
I have a lot of little bullshit things I've been posting on twitter.
Here's a two more of 'em, because I require validation.
I'm wearing this stupid shirt again
i don't know why i even own it still
it's too hot in here for a sweater
i guess i'm today embroidery guy
Why are you such an asshole?
You know what you're doing.
Don't lie to me.
You probably don't even speak spanish.

Eyyyyyyy.
Lyrics for the first song from the candy serial killer album thing. Still no title.:
Sometimes I wonder if its all in my head
if the voices that I'm hearing are the voices of the dead.
Some kind of science, some kind of mystery
is forming up a monster and its living inside me
How could you stay with me if you knew what I'd done?
How could you love me, the disaster I've become?
These night I pray for, are the nights that Im alone
When the evil mind that lurks inside has no where else to go.
In tragedy you'll find, Insanity here will lie
deep seeded vulture eyes, will prey on every line

Rose are red,
violets are blue.
Sugar is sweet,
and so is your moms pussy.
There.

I used to write every night, just as an exercise before going to sleep. Mostly stream-of-conscious stuff, just for a few minutes at a time. Most of it was pretty bad when I went back to read it, but I did like some.
another said it best, but were there words i'd say it better. be it jest it not be said again, and again, lest existence let up. set to spark a speech, and speak a spark to spin what's said and what is meant, when what is meant and what is said connect but seek escape from this instead.
as fair as not, what wants what's wont to disappoint wants not to stare and miss the point. this here's a beast, and the least of my worry. what's scared is unleashed as bare skin burning. fire of sin, covetous and yearning in the worst, best way. at best, hope seeks what's scared's retreat as it faces defeat to this boar, this beast. at best two hearts bored through by the sharp teeth of he who seeks more than he can keep.

Started toying with something a little more conceptual than my usual ¨things arent great, let me write about them¨ stuff.
Its told from the perspective of a man that was shot in the heart by his wife.
[v]
I tried to breathe but couldnt
With a warm hole in my chest
I tried to read your eyes but
Couldnt find any regrets
[pc]
Am i okay?
Just say my name
Am i okay?
Please
[v2]
I thought i saw god
in the steetlights
My knees are weak
I dont think i could fight
Ive got to admit
That i dont feel right
I looked in your eyes
All i see is a fire
[pc]
Am i okay?
Just say my name
Theres something strange
And cold moving in my veins
[ch]
How could you do this?
Theres a cold wind in my teeth
How could you do this?
The sound was deafening
Solo
Ch again
Verse I havent written
Bridge I haven't written
Pre chorus
Chorus 2x
Fin
