The Innerworkings Vol. 1: Prologue to My Cleansing

[Kaos]

Hello, World Crew. I am a fellow Sick Puppies fan and aspiring writer. I am currently compiling songs for a debut album. I figured what better place to get some first opinions than here, the fanbase of what is arguably the best band in hard rock right now. The first song will be posted soon. I hope you all like it! I am currently only in the lyrics stage, but I would like to know if they are good enough to move on with.

Here's the basic summary of the album
--------------------------------------------------------
The Innerworkings Vol. 1: Prologue to My Cleansing is a coming to terms with myself and my friends, family, and overall lifestyle. This is me facing my inner self, and finding I don't like what I see. Much of the album sees me targeting my peers, seemingly avoiding my own problems and living in a shell of denial. The pressure I experience from the people around me is subtle yet significant. Perhaps that is the most noteworthy issue: That such small incidents can make my mind erupt with an explosions of emotions. Through these songs, I show my anger, my confusion, my love for music and the hardships I overcome for it, my tendency to prefer seclusion over being with my friends or family and my seemingly dying world around me, and how it affects me.


First song will probably be up tommorow!

Ok, this first song is called "The Circus". Basically it's an introduction to myself. As an aspiring writer, I've realized I'm the only one who really cares about my work right now. I feel like that's the way it is for most people who have some sort of dream. They may have friends who support them, but they don't have anyone who takes it as seriously as they themselves. It's like being in a circus. You work so hard to put this all together, to make sure each piece fits in place, and you're so proud of it, but everybody just sees it and they move on. It was fun for a minute, but that's it. To you it was a thing of beauty, and you can't help but feel a bit crushed when every on else sort of shrugs it off. It's also how I see the music scene today. Nobody takes it seriously anymore. It's just whatever the "new thing" might be. I feel thats the way it translates with me and my writing with the people around me. Anyway, I hope you like it!

"The Circus"

Let me introduce myself
I'm not quite like anybody else.
I guess that makes me the same.
Watch me tilt the world again.
And make this pain my only friend.
I guess that makes me insane.

So watch me. Don't speak.
You don't have the words I need.
I'm broken. Don't fix me.
You don't have the tools to help me breathe.

(chorus)
Welcome to my circus
You can stay as you long as you like
Welcome to my paradise
We will all fall down tonight.

(Verse)
Let me re-introduce
My melancholy state of mind
I bet you don't even care.
Walking to my idle beat
Acting like I move my feet
I bet you weren't even there.

So miss me. Don't follow.
You never gave a sh*t on your own
I'm lonely. Don't help me.
You'll only turn my last faith to stone.

(Chorus) (x2)

I know the days go by.
You don't care anymore than you did before
You're not a saint, you're just a whore
I see the ways you try.
You don't carry the pain, you bend the frame
You're not to help, you're just to blame.
Days go. Months go. Years go. SO WHY WON'T YOU GO?!
GO AWAY!!! (X4)
(chorus)(x4)
