So this is an emo/punk song that I've written for my band called April's Falling. The styles in my newer songs will be a bit more emo tinged and more about relationships. enjoy.-alex

Those Butterflies Bleed

Watching you for half an hour
Brings me back those chills
From this morning's cold shower.
I cry again without a reason,
I've never needed one,
It's just the rainy season.

So here i am
Lost and alone again,
I never thought the past would keep me in.
And i can't stand
Because of your hand,
It holds me down so i can't be free.

Why does this feel so
Terribly familiar?
Why can't I escape myself?
I'll fall to you tonight
Haunting my mind,
Why can't i accept myself?

So Here I am
Stuck inside again
And i neve want to break away from you.
No i won't stand
By your blo*dy hand,
It bleeds all over and I die again.

Oooh, emo/punk! Prefer punk really...
I really like the ideas you have here, I don't understand exactly about the "butterflies" part and where that somes into it. I hope it turns out to be a good tune, I really do - although the lyrics do sound a bit like something out of a Linkin Park song!
I find writing music for my band really hard in some ways, but an enjoyable experience nevertheless. You should too. Keep writing buddy! :P

No no, don't stop writing! It's just the bits like, "Why can't I escape myself?" that sound a bit Linkin Park-ish.

The overall piece is very good. You could make some improvements if you wanted, but i like this one quite a lot.
It would be good to hear the actual music going to it though, since now that Linkin Park has entered the conversation, I can't really imagine these words as lyrics to a Punk tune! Nice job though.

thats why it's more emo than punk. it's not sung rap fast or any thing. it's more drawn out. when we have it recorded, i'll email you the song.

I've noticed in all yo*r songs you have a * at one point or another. Is there a signifigance to that at all?
In my opinion I like the fist verse the best. Excellent song lyrics.
