Lyrics

Hey!

Is anyone interested in sharing some lyrics for me to write a song to. I usually write my own stuff, but I do often collaborate with other artists. It's always been me putting lyrics and vocals to other people's songs. Now I'd like to try and write the music to the words for a change. Don't worry, full credits will be given to you.

Thanks,
EffectiveNow

These aren't really songs, just random poems I wrote, but maybe it could inspire one?

(No title)

Empty writing on a broken wall,
Blackened ashes float on forlorn call.
Tracings on a glass, condensed,
Feelings, like a murder, suspensed.

Possible Beings

It’s just the expression
On her mildly spun features
That salves his wounds
And undoes his mortal

His possible being
The one who could have been
Who might have been
But never was

Lovingly raised, his hand
Reaches like sun-sweetened tendrils;
Bleached by distended, bloated sun beams
To her faded picture

His possible being
The one who could have been
Who might have been
But never was

What was left of the star
Engorged in all self-encompassing jealousy
Time’s sand rasped glass bauble
That dictates his spirit

His possible being
The one who could have been
Who might have been
But never was
His possible being

^ Upon contemplating the sad tribulations of a man who travels to the future, finds love, then has his "possible being" ripped away and lost forever in the tides of time.

Stark Sore

Trapped in an ivory tower
Far
Far away
Slept a being
A hostage of Khronos

^ Was thinking about myself as a student, being a "prisoner of time" from Disturb's song "God of the Mind", so I made this poem in dedication to it. An ivory tower is an educational facility, because it is so isolated from true experience and yet promises things that are impossible in real life; just like what school does. The walls are beautiful, reassuring in the wonderful abodes of knowledge; yet they are slippery. And Khronos is time in Greek.

Hey that's pretty good! It's well written. Can you this as being a song? I'll have to save this one and see what I can do. In the meantime, don't be shy to show me more, I'd really appreciate it.

Cheers,

Icarus Reincarnated

Be not an imitation
Tether yourself not
Unchain your soul
And open your wings

Let your voice cry out
Against this plasticity
Take this fiery torch
And light the coals of passion!

Inspiration
Revolution
Rebel against the mold

Declaration
Exploration
Proud parade of your soul

Nobody's wrong, and
Nobody's right
Command your eagle wings
And take flight!

^ Like the story of Icarus...probably before his wings melted and he plummeted to the earth, hehe.

Nuance of the Stem

Carefully creased
Slowly exploring
Light parodies dance
Delicate and fragile
Upon the tongue-licked petals -

The paper flower blooms.

(Nuance of the Stem is an old nickname, and Paper Flower came from somewhere..)

No problem EffectiveNow, I'll just ask for royalties. It can be done with the help of a sub-publisher located in the foreign country, which Quebec is practically, anyway. If you translate it, I'll just make sure that the translation is registered separately with the foreign society, and that the translator doesn't get paid on the English version. Just need absolute approval from me to you, the sub-publisher. (I think that is how it works, but I can't remember too well.)
