Escaping Madness

A song I wrote a long time ago but never posted because there was controversy as to the whether the bridge should become the chorus and vice versa, but I like it as it is.

Verse 1

I feel the dark surround me

My eyes closed I cannot see

I feel chaos abounding

From the core of my being

And feelings screaming to be free

From oh so deep inside of me

I have to let them out now

So maybe it can release me

(Chorus)

Save me from the madness I feel

Crawling under my skin

Please save me from the madness

I feel growing deep within

Verse 2

It's like a flowing fountain

My troubles stand like mountains

And it's cutting them down again

But I can't stand against my sin

It's falling all around me

I wish it hadn't found me

This cursed insanity

That wont leave me alone

(Chorus)

Save me from the madness I feel

Crawling under my skin

Please save me from the madness

I feel growing deep within

  X2

Bridge

Release me

From this misery

It's been drowning me

Ever since it found me

  X2

(Chorus)

Save me from the madness I feel

Crawling under my skin

Please save me from the madness

I feel growing deep within

  X2

Author's Note

Someone once asked me if I could record myself singing one of my songs and post it with the lyrics. I didn't have the technology to do that yet, but now I do:) So here it is:) Oh, and if anyone has another song I wrote that they want me to post the recording for, message me and I'll see what I can do. Remember, it's purely lyrical right now and it's kind of quiet so you'll probly have to turn the volume up. Tell me what you think:) I don't know how to post it directly on here, so here's the link to the file on my googledrive:) https://docs.google.com/file/d/0BwjQ0B5oDNiwQTQxRGdMYWZySzg/edit

First of all wow you have an ethereal voice, kind of remind me of Amy Lee (Evanesence) or Charlotte Wessels (Delain) very beautiful. I love the lyrics and the whole feel of the song, its something I'd listen to for sure, I totally encourage you to make more music? Why aren't you in a band?? Of course its hard work and u'll have to work on every aspect of it, except the lyrics i think you've got them nailed down, they're perfect. The chorus just sends chills through my body, like this electricity that wants to burst out.. the hair on my hands was like standing...goosebumps yo. Would kill to hear some music played to your voice and these lyrics. Adding this to my playlist, even without music I like listening to it i've already heard it 10 times now haha.. infatuated with your voice.

Wow:) thanks Keegan:) I didn't know it was that great:) and I've been compared to Amy Lee before, but never Charlotte Wessels:) And I'm not in a band bc I"m still working on working with other people:) i'm good at it in a lot of places, but not when it comes to my own music. I have a certain way that I want things and I can't play an instrument yet to show anyone, so it gets really frustrating when I try to. I get agitated and then they get agitated bc I'm agitated, and it just goes on and on:) But seriously, thank you:) I"m glad you liked it:)
