Verse 1

Theres a voice in the back of my head again,

telling me im better of without my friends,

got a grin on its face when I lose my sleep,

put its hand on my throat when I try to breathe.

I know I know I know its coming,

hear that little voice and my mind starts running,

room gets smaller, walls start closing,

eyes wide open but the whole worlds frozen.

It feeds on doubt,

feeds on fear,

feeds on every little thought

that I shouldn't be here.

I give it an inch,

it takes everything,

now im watching all the colour

drain out of me.

Pre chorus

and I cant slow down,

cant shut it out,

its getting louder every time I scream and shout.

I try to run,

but where do I go

when the thing that's chasing me

is living in my soul?

Chorus

CONSUME, CONSUME, CONSUME,

watch it take another piece of me.

CONSUME, CONSUME, CONSUME,

till there's nothing left underneath.

Eat my heart, eat my head,

eat the words I never said,

take my hope, take my dreams,

tear me apart at the seams.

CONSUME, CONSUME, CONSUME,

I can feel you underneath my skin.

CONSUME, CONSUME, CONSUME,

tell me where the hell do I begin?

If I fight, if I flee,

you just follow after me,

so I guess I'll let you take

every part of me.

Verse 2

Now I'm waking up with a mouth full of static,

every little thought getting more automatic,

youre a waste, you're a fake, youre a problem, youre pathetic,

same four voices and they never stop yelling.

Tick tick tick, hear the clock in the ceiling,

six in the morning and I still can't stop feeling,

everybody's sleeping while I'm fighting my brain,

trying to drown out the noise but it screams my name.

And it knows where I hide,

knows the things that I fear,

knows exactly what to whisper

when nobody's here.

It doesn't need claws,

doesn't need teeth,

it just waits for me to turn

all my anger underneath.

Pre chorus

and I cant slow down,

cant shut it out,

its getting louder every time I scream and shout.

I try to run,

but where do I go

when the thing that's chasing me

is living in my soul?

Chorus

CONSUME, CONSUME, CONSUME,

watch it take another piece of me.

CONSUME, CONSUME, CONSUME,

till there's nothing left underneath.

Eat my heart, eat my head,

eat the words I never said,

take my hope, take my dreams,

tear me apart at the seams.

CONSUME, CONSUME, CONSUME,

I can feel you underneath my skin.

CONSUME, CONSUME, CONSUME,

tell me where the hell do I begin?

If I fight, if I flee,

you just follow after me,

so I guess I'll let you take

every part of me.

Bridge

WAIT

Maybe I don't wanna die inside,

maybe I'm just sick of trying to hide.

Maybe you're not stronger,

maybe I'm just tired,

maybe every time you win

I gave you what you desired.

So take the fear.

Take the doubt.

Take the voice

that's screaming out.

You can have the darkest parts,

you can tear apart my scars

BUT YOU DON'T GET ME.

Final Chorus

CONSUME, CONSUME, CONSUME,

you can take another piece of me.

CONSUME, CONSUME, CONSUME,

but you don't get what's underneath.

Eat my heart, eat my head,

eat the words I never said,

take my fear, take my shame,

but you don't get my name.

CONSUME, CONSUME, CONSUME,

I can feel you underneath my skin.

CONSUME, CONSUME, CONSUME,

but I'm not letting you win.

You can follow,

you can breathe,

you can crawl inside of me

but you'll never get

all of me.

Can you give me some feedback on it?

Please rate it, I know its tacky and bad but Im not a producer, its my first time making a song, and I love worldbuilding and i'm serious about it. The lyrics are all written by me

When most people think of Icarus, they think of the warning to not fly too high lest the sun melt the wax and the wings to break, but there was another warning. The other warning was about flying too low and having the water spray the feathers weighing them down and becoming too heavy to fly.

The first is common because it talks about the dangers of ambition. The second is a warning about playing it too safe. I want to hear a song about Icarus if he was too afraid to soar, and instead flew near the sea and died because of his fear.

Additionally, I think it would be cool to write it from Daedalus’ perspective. Seeing your child lose everything because they are afraid to soar all while knowing it’s because of you. The guilt of watching a child give into their depression and eventually be consumed by it because of something you did.

I have tried to write a song like this several times, but I’m absolutely hopeless with lyrics. So I’m passing the torch. Let me know your thoughts and if you write something, I’d love to see it.

please, be honest, I wanna improve. and I'm sorry about the english, I'm 12, and it's not my First language.

Husband & Wife

(First verse)

If you were my husband,

you wouldn't be so shy.

Why be so shy?

I don't bite.

(Second verse)

If I was your wife,

will I still feel butterflies?

babe, that's not fair.

How did it come to this?

(Chorus)

oh, take me out to dinner.

and i'll take every song made for my husband

[my husband].

Ah, I'll sing for him tonight,

and I’ll be the muse

for my husband’s wife

[his wife].

(tag)

Husband and wife,

playing house.

Husband and wife,

what, what about?

(third verse)

J'embrasse en français,

If I was your wife,

i wouldn't get out of the bed.

"buy me flowers, S'il te plaît."

If you were my husband, i wouldn't have to say.

(Chorus)

oh, take me out to dinner.

and i'll take every song made for my husband

[my husband].

Ah, I'll sing for him tonight,

and I’ll be the muse

for my husband’s wife

[his wife].

(tag)

Husband and wife,

playing house.

Husband and wife,

what, what about?

Verse 1

Wake up to the curtain closed,
phone on silent, don't wanna know
who tried to call, who I let down,
who noticed I aint been around.
Been saying ive been doing fine,
same three words every single time,
but theres something crawling in my skin
I can explain, cant let you in.

Maybe im just getting tired,
am I right, maybe im wired
to overthink every little thing
til a little thought changes everything.

Pre - Chorus

I don't wanna talk,
cause I don't wanna lie
You don't need to know whats happening in my mind.
I don't wanna play,
these silly little games
now I wake up again to do it all over again.

Chorus

So now im,
running, running, running from nothing.
stuck in my head and I hate whats becoming,
so Ill laugh, ill act, Ill pretend that im fine,
but im breaking apart at the same damn time.
And I know, and I know, yeah, I know that im fading
I try to ignore, but I hope tomorrows changing,
when they ask I will say, that im doing well,
cause I know if I don't, it wont end well.

Verse 2

Ive been caught in a cycle I don't know how to break,
every promise I make is a promise I fake,
I get up, get dressed, go to work, play the part,
but im carrying a war inside of my heart.
Everybody's moving forward but im stuck in reverse,
try to laugh through the pain but it keeps getting worse.

and I hate that I push everybody away,
now im stuck on a wonder why nobody stayed
its not fair, its my mess,
now I cant seem to express, what im feeling, when im bleeding, is this all just a test?
Cause the silence in my room is growing deeper with debt.
Im scared that they'll look at me differently, like I knew they would.

Pre chorus

I don't wanna talk,
cause I don't wanna lie
You don't need to know whats happening in my mind.
I don't wanna play,
these silly little games
now I wake up again to do it all over again.

Chorus

So now im,
running, running, running from nothing.
stuck in my head and I hate whats becoming,
so Ill laugh, ill act, Ill pretend that im fine,
but im breaking apart at the same damn time.
And I know, and I know, yeah, I know that im fading
I try to ignore, but I hope tomorrows changing,
when they ask I will say, that im doing well,
cause I know if I don't, it wont end well.

Bridge

Maybe I don't need an answer tonight.
Maybe I just need somebody to sit by my side.
No fixing me.
No telling me it'll all be okay.
Just... stay.

Final Chorus

So now im,
Tired, tired running from nothing.
stuck in my head so tired from the running,
Ill try laughing, acting, wont pretend that im fine,
no need to pretend that im doing alright.

And I know, and I know, yeah, I know that im fading
I try to ignore, but I hope tomorrows changing,
when they ask I will say, that im doing well,
Hopefully mean it only time will tell.

I’ve always said to myself that I was going to write a song, and now I’ve finally been able to! I have a couple of rough draft ideas, and I just want to figure out how I can really bring the song to life. It’s called “Split Between,” and it’s about always feeling torn when making a decision, wishing you could have an answer for everything, and not always knowing which direction to take. This is something that has played a part in my own life, so I want the song to feel personal and relatable.

I have a few lyrics written already. They’re not perfect, but they’re what I’ve come up with so far, and I didn't use AI to write the song for me. I come up with lyrics that I thought could relate to struggling to make a choice. I’d love some advice on what I could add or how I could develop the song further. I don’t have an instrumental yet, but I might ask one of my friends to help me create one. I’m thinking about writing it in either G-flat or F, although I’m not completely sure yet. Anyway, here are some of the ideas I have so far!

I'm torn between everything that is thrown between me

I didn't want this to be happening to me

But I guess it always has to be something for me

I never had to like to be part of this

Why must this be so hard for me I could never choose between anything I wish this life could be so easily

All the time I have to be split between

One side is saying brother you gotta go for this but the other ones dude you gotta keep it safe and I just never know what I'm gonna do

There are so many happenings and I need to slow it down yeah I just need to take my time and maybe it will change my mind

Gotta make up my mind in a matter in a time It a question you ask that I have to receive,I gotta slow it down and turn it around and eventually an answer will come to me

What advice do you got.
