The Curse

An interesting little song that got stuck in my head not long after I wrote it.

Verse 1

Sleep, dream

And the monsters come to call

Weep, scream

No one hears you at all

Deap seam

Implanted in your head

Sleep, Dream

But you know you'll soon be dead

 

Chorus

You try to fight it

But you know that it's stronger

Than you

So you scream unheard

Cause there's nothing else

You can do

If you find an answer

Just know that

It might not be right

But if it cures the curse

You might get some sleep

Tonight

 

Verse 2

Wake up

And you think that you're alright

Make up

And excuse to hide the signs

Stay up

Run away from all your fears

Wake up

Cause you know they'll find you here

 

Chorus

 

Bridge

Sleep, dream

Weep, scream

Sleep, dream

Wake up

Stay up

Wake up

Got to escape from this

 

Chorus x2

I could totally hear this as a Nightwish song, kind of like symphonic, Gothic metal
great lyrics

[Elizabeth Porterfield]

Wow, that's awesome!!!!! Thank you:) My friend is a huge fan of Nightwish, she thinks their the greatest band ever, so that actually means alot!!! And it is supposed to be kinda like that... but not exactly. I wish I could post a recording of it, but I cant right now:(

[KeeD]

aww :D you recorded it? how cool xD can't wait to hear it :) i'm not the biggest fan of nightwish, once upon a time I was but I change my tastes in music really fast :D but these lyrics, yeah I loved them.

[Elizabeth Porterfield]

Well, I didn't exactly record it, not like professionally, but I record a lot of my songs on my friends phone. I'm glad you like the lyrics btw:)

[KeeD]

xD there is a very talented poet I think by the name Steven or Stephen who records his poems on his phone so we get a recited version of his poems as well as written text, sounds very good has lots of impact. My accent and voice prevent me from doing it, I sound like a horse :P

[Elizabeth Porterfield]

Probably not:) You might think so, but that doesnt mean any one else would think that. Unless you've actually had someone tell you you sound like a horse... lol jk:)

[KeeD]

Lmao yeah safe to say I might have been high and having a conversation with a horse though :D

[Elizabeth Porterfield]

Well that sounds interesting!!! I've never had a conversation with a horse while high... was it fun?

[KeeD]

It basically said Hayyyyy, then I passed it some Hay. Good talk.. good times.

[Elizabeth Porterfield]
