Hello everyone   I was wondering If I might have some feedback on this song I've started to write... This is my first venture into songwriting but I figured since it's poetic to post it on here and see what you thought... Thank you!

Fading in…to the drunken sky with
Smirnoff smiles and bloodshot eyes
Tequila tears are your worst fear and
I better get my act together
Livin' here ain't what it used to be
Sinking into mild uncertainty
I could break my cash for a little change
I could shoot my gun a little off range
But I know that whatever I used to be
Ain’t ‘creepin up anywhere I can see
Blinded by the needles in my eyes
Wicked lies can act as my disguise

"Fading in…to the drunken sky with
Smirnoff smiles and bloodshot eyes"

You've got some wonderful imagery here. I don't know much about the whole song angle but this is a very beautiful poem.
Songwriting always terrified me as I could get the lyrics all right but then came the Sibelius programs and cadences and plagals and perfect octaves...
terrifying.

I put a "twang" to it, and gave it a country twist, and really enjoyed it.  Good luck finishing it.  You never know until you try to do a song if someone will enjoy it.
