Hey all!
For my second post I decided to show some of the lyrics I have been writing recently. I write alone and with a band and they produce quite different results. I find that what I write with the band often comes out darker and often more sexual. This may be because when I write alone it is just me and my keyboard and it doesn't have the darkness or richness that the band enthuses. It has been nice for me to work with other musicians in the writing process and surprisingly it hasn't made me hold back lyrically-if anything I am more free.
The first two songs are with the band and the last was written alone.
Hope you enjoy!
Look out for my next post where I will be setting goals for my future projects.

Die with a Smile
A web woven from the finest silk
Led to tears like dewdrops stuck to it.
A catcher of passing dreams
And nightmares
Called you in
To their
Fairytale
Tempted bodies
Who lay unaware.
Spread their fingers
Closer to it
Poison dripping in
Paralyzed
Wrapped up
Ready to die
With a smile
Die with a smile
Tilts her hat
And calls to you
Licks her lips
She’s ready for you
Wraps her self around you
It feels so good
Knowing nothing
Can save you
Tempted bodies
Who lay unaware.
Spread their fingers
Closer to it
Poison dripping in
Paralyzed
Wrapped up
Ready to die
With a smile
Die with a smile
La Petite Mort
You crawl
Into my thoughts
You stir
The parts
That slumbered
So long
That yearned so long
Asphyxiated
Yet so alive
I'm so wet
My mouth is dry
I'm burning up inside
La Petite Mort
My suicide
My nails
Your back
This armour
Is cracked
No protection
From this
Dark obsession
Asphyxiated
Yet so alive
I'm so wet
My mouth is dry
I'm burning up inside
La Petite Mort
My suicide
Committed
I opened my gates
That you tried to batter down so long
But when I opened them up
You had gone
I can just see your back now
And you are too far down the path
To shout to
To run to
When I hear committed
I think of a padded cell
Would I have to be crazy
To commit myself ?
To you
When you don’t want me after waiting so long
The mask has fallen
And tears wash away
My last defenses
My army of doubts
Have gone AWOL
And I’m left here
With these empty hopes
That are no good
For fighting
This weary battle
When I hear committed
I think of a padded cell
Would I have to be crazy
To commit myself?
To you
When you don’t want me after waiting so long
Dark, sumptuous and sexy... am looking forwards to hearing them as songs... :) xxx
