Lyrics.

I suck at writing lyrics, but I'm super good at coming up with melodies for GOOD lyrics.



I am in desperate need of lyrics that I can put a melody to, for my own use.

If I use your lyrics anywhere but when I'm singing in the shower, you will get 100% full credit.


I just want to get music back in my life.


What I do not want:
-"emo" music.
-blood, guts, cutting, heavy depression.
-humour. sorry, not this time around.
-something that sounds like it's from the country.
-anything longer than say, 68 lines.

What I do want:
-mild sadness.
-happy/love [please, no mushy...]
-a good flow. <--that is a MUST.


not too hard, right?
please, go.

no more prewrites because people decided that they wouldn't approve them with me first.




[thank you to my auntie debbie for financing my desperate need]
