Lyrics - "Please"

[soup]

This is my second attempt ever at writing lyrics, and the first time I've written lyrics before I had music to go with it. It's an extremely rough outline of what I want to say, and it's not really in a framework that would suit a song at this point.

 

The song would be called "Please" :

 

Prepare for the drought

while you're drowning in the flood

and Grasping tightly

It's Seeping through your fingers

domino years, unchallenged fears

love

pain

hope

neglect

regret

it smears together

until the paint is black

no distinction

in the yawning vacuum

Let go

let go

Let go into the empty

and don't you cry because you have nothing left

right now is all you'll need

Someday I'll understand

I'm convinced

Someday we'll see

Beauty in the empty

Please let there be

Beauty in the empty

Please.

 

I think the "Someday we'll see" part to the "Beauty in the empty" part will probably be repeated as a chorus.

 

Thanks for reading! Any comments appreciated.

Good opening line! Overall, it reads like an early draft. Look forward to seeing it after you've put a bit of polish on it!
