Well why not post some lyrics, eh?
This is one I wrote a year ago. It has a couple rhymes I'm not proud of but overall it is pretty indicative of my style. No verse/chorus/interlude/chorus stuff because that bores me. The theme came from my sister who was trying to keep a premature baby (my now--thank God--healthy nephew) to stay in the womb for long enough to survive. Anyway, constructive criticism appreciated.
The earth shakes and the water breaks The world seems to contract The joyous moment anticipated Comes without an invitation Sometimes it seems, without redeem That this life is far too short For he who resides inside herself She gives it all to give him help Perhaps she can succeed and he can be freed From the torment he endures Escaping infection, gasping for breathe He holds onto her, and what she has left The world, so unfair, seems without a care And what can change the scales? Can a spirit so broken be enough? In this journey through a metaphorical rough No day goes by when she does not wonder why And although that seems so cliché Everything ever labeled as such Started because it was needed so much They tell no lies, hide none behind their eyes The brutal truth is conveyed But she bears it all with what she can Attempting to let him become a man

Very good lyrics, but it's not better than Mark's, I can't say that! I really like this lyrics... It's funny, because I've written lyrics similar to this one!

take out the word "technically" it screws up the flow. other than that its good but I would not say its better than marks because its one lyric. 12 songs take more talent than 1 song so post some more. this coukld be a one hit wonder in a metaphorical sense.

I have often tried to remove the "technically". It really needs a word there though or else it doesn't go well. Any suggestions on which word to use?
As for the Mark having more... Come on, that's a little lame. This is his JOB, it is most certainly not mine. It's a hobby, and not even my first at that. 12 songs doesn't take more talent, it takes more time. Not that I would mind posting a few other songs but I don't like saturating a forum with a lot of my songs at once because I like to get the most out of each that I can. EDIT: Is it better now?

that's pretty good, actually.
But I don't see a melody fit to it unless you do some blues-ish talking. There are a few words with too many syllables: anticipated, physically, metaphorical. Also, as another feedback: perhaps you may want to fit each line of the verses with the same number of syllables (I don't think I can spell it! I hope it's right...) to make an easier melody. I don't know...at least I... I can't think of a melody to fit and I'm pretty good with it. Other than that, it's just poetry. Unless you post a clip of you singing it for us so we can get a clearer idea!

The lyrics were good, but not great... Don't like the hole thing about not having a verse or a chorus... OR if you don't like to have verses or choruses you'd have to make longer verses... The song would just repeat itself to often... Other then that it's good...

^I just got rid of that stupid stanza... have no idea why it was in there in the first place. Usless piece of crap.
Anyway as for the melody, I have one. That's why verse/chorus/verse/chorus doesn't work well for me when you are JUST seeing the lyrics. It will just be repetative. There is definitely a melody though, not to fear, lol And it isn't just repeating itself, musically, over and over again. It changes. As for the long words... meh. Long words I like. lol
