I�ve been toying with some possible lyrics for some new songs. They don�t quite have themes yet but as I write I�m sure they will come. You get to see the process!

Wicked,
Little girl with mommy�s lipstick on.
Twisted,
Little girl that plays with blades for fun.

Now my dilemma is where do I go from here�I think this is where the music changes and I imagine we�ll have a bit of a build up before the chorus. A nice little bridge, if you will.

Where do I go from here?

should I use that? How about:

Nothing is as it appears.
Where does one go from here?
My views are altered.
My faith has faltered,
And I�m left with no reasons why�

Ok, so now I have my bridge and the rhythm almost fits. I�ll have to work with Lane on it later. Now the Chorus�I want something repetitive and catchy. Do I go with a single, two word sentence that is repeated a few times or do I use a catchy phrase? It probably would help if we actually worked on the chorus musically. *grin* I�ll just put a couple of ideas down. I think I�ll take the �why� from the bridge and have it lead into the chorus.

(1)
�life was arranged,
and I feel shortchanged.
Nothing but remnants
Lost in an instant.
What�s left of me?

or

(2) �I�m left standing in the cold?
Standing in the cold.
My soul has been sold
And it�s time to fold.
Why am I standing in the cold?

So now I have my two possible choruses, but more then likely I�ll end up with something completely different. Now I need more verses. I need to find the theme and keep with it�

Faithless,
Little girl down on her knees.

Blackened,
Little girl hiding in the lilies.

ok, I think that should cover a good third of the song, but I�ll have to listen to the music a little more before I consider any more verses. The music is fairly hard-core so it will be nice to have a haunting vocal to it. Something simple that can weave through it. I think this song will turn out fairly good.
