Sick Feeling

I came into this world for the sake of messing up my dreams
Doing things I don't want well that's the way it seems
It's time to quit time to get where I am goin to be
I'll stick it out if I can keep my sanity

I'm on a tight schedule Workin hard in every way
of my life so I can rest some other fucking day
What if I quit, what do I lose is anything at stake?
This sick feeling is real and everything is--

FAKE
Where's my head?!
FAKE
Where's my head?!

well I don't even know what's the point of trying anyway
but I will, and I wont quit until my dying day
I'm gunna fight, if it can work because I'm just like that
in spite of every little thing that seems to hold me back

Every time I feel the pressure pushin down on me
I get this feeling like I'm crushing underneath
so what if I get all the money that I'm trying to make
This sick feeling is real and everything is--

FAKE
Where's my head?!
FAKE
Where's my head?!



Unforgiving

We're here for the future
The past does not exist
the present does not matter
till future's in our midst

Paradox walking
mute voices talking
timeless ticks clocking
everything is mocking

I sing
Blank verses with a message
Everything is a vestige
nothing that surrounds us, will be left to miss

Too big to go unnoticed
Too small to make a living
Let's live like we don't know this
life is unforgiving

Fail as soon as i try
fall as soon as i fly
love me when i feed you
hate me when i die

Not bad really, I didn't like the sounds of the "FAKE, Where's my head?" it sounds as though a 12 year old was singing an otherwise intelligent song with a slightly perturbed meaning.

Once again, here's an example or two of some good quality lyrics, I hope to see if you think they're good also...

Quote
One-Eighty By Summer

Go on just say it,
You need me like a bad habit,
One that leaves you defenseless, dependent, and alone.
Go on just say it (Are you afraid to?),
You need me like a bad habit, (Say what you want to, tell me you want to),
One that leaves you defenseless, dependent, and alone. (Are you afraid to say what you want to, tell me you want to?)

Well, I hold my tongue use it to assess,
The damage from way back when it mattered,
But nothing seems important anymore,
We%u2019re just protecting ourselves from our self,
And I don%u2019t think I%u2019ll ever come back down, (I don%u2019t think I%u2019ll ever come back down),
I don%u2019t think I%u2019ll ever come back down, (I don%u2019t think I%u2019ll ever come back down),
I don%u2019t think I%u2019ll ever come back down, (I don%u2019t think I%u2019ll ever come back%u2026),
I don%u2019t think I%u2019ll ever come back%u2026

Are you ashamed to say what you want to, (tell me you want to.)
Are you ashamed to say what you want to, (tell me you want to.)
(Go on just say it) Are you ashamed to... (Go on just say it) Say what you want to? Tell me you want to.
(Go on just say it) Are you ashamed to... (Go on just say it) Say what you want to? Tell me you want to.

I%u2019m making the difference,
It just seems pointless,
why all the obvious lines got out of focus
Why can%u2019t you just be happy,
Why can%u2019t you just be happy?
And I don%u2019t think I%u2019ll ever come back down (I don%u2019t think I%u2019ll ever come back down),
I don%u2019t think I%u2019ll ever come back down (I don%u2019t think I%u2019ll ever come back down),
I don%u2019t think I%u2019ll ever come back down (I don%u2019t think I%u2019ll ever come back%u2026),
I don%u2019t think I%u2019ll ever come back...

(Just come back%u2026{x14})
Go on, just say it,
Go on, just say it,
Well I%u2019ll just say it,
I%u2019ll just say it,
I need you defenseless, dependent, and alone.
(Just come back%u2026 {x9})
She says "Live up to your first impression,"
Well my best side was your worst invention,
Well can't you live without the attention,
Well can't you live without the attention?
(Just come back%u2026 {x9})
She says "Live up to your first impression,"
Well my best side was your worst invention,
Well can't you live without the attention,
Why can't you live without the attention?

She says "Live up to your first impression" (Come on, just say it),
Well my best side was your worst invention (Come on, just say it),
Why cant you live without the attention(I need you defenseless, dependent),
Why can%u2019t you love without the attention(alone).

Running off over next doors garden
Before the hour is done
It's more a question of feeling
Than it is a question of fun
The confidence is the balaclava
Im sure youll baffle em good
With the ending wreek of salty cheeks
And runny makeup alone

Ooohh will blood run down the face
Of a boy bewildered and scorned
And youll find yourself in a skirmish
Will you wish you'd never been born
And you tie yourself to the tracks
And there isnt no going back
And its wrong wrong wrong
But well do it anyway cause we love a bit of trouble

Are you pulling her from a burning building
Or throwing her to the sharks
Can only hope the ending is a pleasurable as the start
The confidence is the balaclava, im sure you baffle em straight
And its wrong wrong wrong, she can hardly wait

Thats right, he wont let her out his sight
Now the shaggers perform
And the daggers are drawn
Whos the crooks in this crime?

Thats right, he wont let her out his sight
Now the shaggers perform
And the daggers are drawn
Whos the crooks is this....
Crime!

Thats right, he wont let her out his sight
Thats right, he wont let her out his sight
Thats right, he wont let her out his sight

You'll be able to post any day of the most ???
For the sights of all time

You knew that it could be trouble right before the very first kiss
Quiet and unassuming but your heard that they were the naughtiest
She pleaded with you to take it off
But you resisted and fought
Sorry sweetheart id much rather, keep on the balaclava.

And...

Can you feel your heartbeat racing?
Can you taste the fear in her sweat?
We've done this wrong we're too far gone
These sheets tell of regret
I admit that I'm just a fool for you
I'm just a fool for you

Here is where we both go wrong

Tonight's your last chance to do exactly
what you want to
And this could be my night
This is what makes me feel alive
Makes you feel alive

Here is where we both go wrong
So sign me up and toss this key
'Cause for now we're living

In this moment that we both ignore the truth
It's all over!
It's all over!

I feel your heart against mine
So take a breath and close your eyes, eyes

(CHORUS)
Your lungs have failed
and they've both stopped breathing
My heart is dead it's way past beating
Something has gone terribly wrong
I'm scared, you're scared, we're scared of this
I never thought we'd make it out alive
I never told you but it's all in your goodbyes
It's all in your goodbyes

Well, look who's dying now slit wrists sleeping
with the girl next door
I always knew you were such a sucker for that
It doesn't matter what you say
You never mattered anyway
I never mattered anyway

In this moment that we both ignore the truth
It's all over
It's all over

I feel your heart rubbing against mine
So take a breath and close your eyes, eyes

(CHORUS)

Don't shake, I hate to see you tremble-trembling
You've lost your touch haven't you?
And I'm so addicted
So addicted

(CHORUS)
(CHORUS)

The sword and the faith

180 By Summer? God damn it I'm starting to have some form of respect for Shocko.
Good video of that being performed: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=24CYh-4m89M (Best TBS performance I've found to date.)

Also SOLAR I wasn't too impressed by any of your stuff, but it's better than a lot of bands out there do. What I try to do is refrain from writing until I get something that really hits me deep in some way, inspires me a lot. Listen to a song that really moves you, just focus on it, and then when its over, write something. See how it goes.

Believe it or not I am going with Shocko on this one(well kinda LOL).

I didn't like the sounds of the "FAKE, Where's my head?

It just didn't seem to fit to well.Ofcourse this is just my thoughts and the rest of the song is great :D.



None.

Chalking up the opinions of people like Shocko and myself along with others to taste just so you can dodge them is pretty beat. I like to consider my taste in music varied, being that I go from Bright Eyes to He Is Legend, Dashboard Confessional to Coheed and Cambria. This isn't a matter of taste, it is a matter of lyrical quality, as a writer of lyrics myself I cant say I would even let these be b-sides, let alone that the actual performance of them seems to need improvement.

If you don't want to use or constructive criticism to improve, then don't post in a place where the main function is to receive such comments. Maybe I shouldn't bother trying to help.
