hi, here are my lyrics, ust random lyrics some good some bad, please say the line you like the most or lineS you like the most and maybe a good lyrical melody going with it, fitting to one of these 2 songs:
here it is. btw each section goes together if ther separated by a bar of space then ther diff idea and not sopposed to fit. btw im trying to go for metalish lyrics, like ozzy almost.
Running to nowhere, trying to find where i belong
Theres somthing going on that doesnt seem right, im trying 'n put it all together, the people i see, the dreams tht i fight, it doest seem to be gettn better
i know im not going crazy, but i think i may be insane, people look at me and wonder, whats going on in his brain
binded by laws of realty, no where to go, decieved by streets of society, theres nothing more to know.
their so simple minded, so one sided
i know know where were going
it took me a while to realize, whats going on, just tryin 'n fantasize, i just wana know
living in the dark
my mind is concieving
walking aimlessly
walking down empty halls of endlessness, nobody turn to me, sitting down, no one looks to see, how empty i am, how lonley i am, how no one understands me! They dont give me a chance, they dont give me a listen, they just turn their heads and sigh, why oh why? just give me a chance, just give me a glance, just let me try, why oh why?
nothing seems to be working, nothing seems to be right, nothing seems to be helping, no one really understands!

Walking aimlessly
I don't know where we're going
but I know where I wanna be
Hope Im not goin' crazy
probably just insane
some people look at me and wonder
spoken sarcastically - "Whats goin' on with this man!?"
How can they be so simple minded
so one sided
so, so chained
But I, I wanna break 'em
I wanna break away from the reigns!
[use the song above you posted up until about 1:45, the lyrics stop right before that breakdown, you repeat that main riff like you did, and then use that clean part you did at about 2:30, then fly into the wildest [distorted] solo you can think of, throw in some nice hooks too, get the crowd in to it]
--after solo--
Walkin' down these endless halls
binded by reality
feelin' like I'm fallin' down
but still nobody turns to me
decieved by the streets of society
They still look at me
thinkin' somethings wrong with me
But just can't see it
I've already set me free!
But they are all still chained down
so they turn and critisize me!
Just let me be~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Thats what I can do. Use it if you like, I didn't write, you did, I used your lyrics and your template, so its yours man.

Walking aimlessly
I don't know where im going
but I know where I wanna be
i know Im not goin' crazy
but thats cause im already insane
people look at me and wonder
Whats goin' on with his brain?
And yet its like a disease,but just treating the causes,
But I just i wanna break them,
I wanna break away from the reigns!

im gona edit that a bit more but it gives me a place to start, i also find it easy to make lines when i focus on a specific thing, this ones about me, in school. somtimes i just roam the halls, trying to find somthing i know i never will(thats a good lyric). walking in a daze, in a dark foggy haze. though i know where im going just dont know how to get there. along with that its about how no one excepts me or lots of people b/c how they look or act or feel.

not only that, im kinda alwaays ignored, im gona write about that itll be one of those 2 meaning songs, on the surface, just listening to it, itll sound like drugs, but then if u think about it youll realize its a story of me.

I wouldn't. One is fine. If you really want to though, combine both song and make SURE its epic. Nobody likes a long song that FEELS long. Take Metallica for example, loads of long songs, not too many of them actually feel long though. And to fit in, make really cool songs, put your emotions out there, but jokingly, sarcastically even. Metaphors are good lyrics. That way its kind of like a double whammy.

@ Elliott and Ozzy,
You know guys, I smell a collaboration here. The two of you make a good team! I mean that. You two should work together. Work on some songs together just like you did here tonight. Play something you've done together and post it. It would be (as you say) Epic!
{First thing that's going to happen is Elliott is going to argue with me.} haha
Don't bother Elliott, you know I'm right! Give it a try. Who knows what may come of it. Think of it as an adventure. (Think Ozzy and
Randy)
Phipster :)
BTW Elliott, your playing just gets better and better! You've come a long way in the last year.

@ Elliot - Oh cool.
@ Phip - That'd be pretty cool. Cept hes states away from me (Band practice would be a tad bit tricky lol). Lol, Ozzy and Randy. We could co-write some stuff though, that I'll give you, is a very good idea. Elliott?
