Hello everyone! I am new to this community and would like to begin by getting some feedback on these lyrics. They come from the title song of my debut album, "The End of Time."

These are strictly property of myself. If you would like to experiment with setting these words to music, please private message me.

THE END OF TIME

How long could one girl cry?
Seems like she's died inside
You'd think she'd dry up like a river
At the end of time
The cold has grown so fast
Thought love was meant to last?
Guess I thought wrong
How's that for my peace of mind?

Remember those days
She was so happy
Now she's turned to ice
Remember those days
They're long gone
No one else could suffice
But you were there
You were there for her
At the end of time.

How long could sorrow grow?
Too long, she doesn't know
You'd think she's had enough already
Thought of letting go
But still she lingers on
With a hope we thought was gone
I guess she's stronger than she thought
Though she's on her own.

Remember those days
She was so happy
Now she's turned to ice.
Remember those days
They're long gone
No one's love could suffice
But you were there
Always there for her
At the end of time.

Now the seconds, the minutes
All seem to slow down
Now the days and the months and the years
Reach for her, care for her
Tell her there's time for her
Time for her to love...

Our journey's at its end
Check the hourglass's sand
You've one chance to love again -
Don't waste it!
Now you can move on
Start with hope a brand new song
Perhaps love can last forever
'Til the days are gone.

Just know he was there
He was always there for you
He will always be there for you
Until the end of time.

This is a work in progress.

This is a poem that I wrote that I will be setting to music in my album, The End of Time. The theme of the album is change, as I am going through a number of changes in my life.

This particular song pertains to memories, and how they are constructed and reflected upon at various points in our lives, often as a source of comfort in a rough period of time.

The music that this poem is set to is very avant-grade. With an almost-Egyptian tone, it blends a dirty synth bass and a beautiful acoustic guitar melody.

HIGHER

One thousand stories high
We build our precious walls
Hoping our time will come.

Memories never die
Monuments to good times
We build them to the sun.

Lead us to the peace
A shelter from the war.
Dancing through the fields of gold
Gods who promised fighting
Gone. Now we are finding
Something stronger in ourselves.

Our story never fades
But people always change
Carry on our name.
Build high your own fate
Live by what you create
And you will reach the stars.

I Woke Up Today

Work in progress.

Now and then,
I get to thinking of
All the times
We could have had,
And I realize
This don’t feel right, no.
I tell myself,
“I’ll see those eyes again,”
But then remember when
I had you in the
Palm of my hand,
And I get sick!

Now it’s time to go and
I can’t think of what to say.
I just want to grab you and
Never let you go away.

I woke up
Woke up today and realized
You’re gone
Now all I have is this song
Just think
Of all the things we could have done
Now our new lives have begun
Don’t look back
Just keep moving on

Think of me
If you stop by, in this
This lonely town
If you’re around
Just think of me
Cause I’ll be long, long gone
Tell our friends
Our families that I
I’ve moved on
To bigger and better things
Chasing the dream
I wish you’d chase it with me

Now it’s been so long and
I can’t think of what to say.
I just want to grab you and
Never let you go away.

I woke up
Woke up today and realized
You’re gone
Now all I have is this song
Just think
Of all the things we could have done
Now our new lives have begun
Don’t look back
Just keep moving on

Another rather cryptic poem that deals with an unexpected change. In this instance, it is someone dying young. The idea came from a lucid dream where I myself was diagnosed with a brain tumor and was given a day to live, and I tried to convey the same sort of thoughts I experienced in that dream through this song.

The concept of dying young can be translated to any abrupt change in one's life; a relative passing, a plan falling through, anything.

And If I Fall

And if I fall
Please don't try to catch me
My journey is completed
And what I thought I needed
Wasn't meant to be
And through it all
I questioned what I lived for
I finally realized it was not
What I thought
It would be
Now I see

Break down these walls
Invade my mind
Render me defenseless
Take all you can find inside
You've all but killed me
As angry as I could be
I finally see the light
You provide
Tell them not to cry

Hey, I've seen this lying around here without getting any responses, so I'll tell you what I think!

"How long could one girl cry?
Seems like she's died inside
You'd think she'd dry up like a river
At the end of time"
and
"Guess I thought wrong
How's that for my peace of mind?"

are my favourite lines of yours. They really set the mood for the song, and create images in my head.
I like your lyrics.
The song I like the least is "I woke up today". It's a little too straight to the point for me, but that's just my personal opinion.

What kind of music are you playing?
