Lemon Tea / Cherry Tree

Lyrics - experimental, alternative-like.

wake up in the middle of the night

the room is quiet,

please don't turn on the light

i'm having nightmares being awake

need to get some sleep to pretend that i'm safe

 

fish bone, aching my spine

paranoia invading your mind

nobody is wrong, but i'm never right

drink some lemon tea and give up the fight

 

wake up to see the sunset

my eyes burn the closer i get there

i tell i want it, but i feel so damn afraid

throw all the dreams in the river,

they're flowing away

and it's okay

no, no, no - it's not okay

 

in my whole life i never saw a cherry tree

if i could buy something,

i'd buy happiness for you and for me

the real demons they are out of here

they're just the unknown part of all of your fears

Well as far as technicals go they are all fairly obvious, you didn't capitalize anything and lacked most punctuation aside from a few commas. The Grammar was all good though (I think). The lack of capitalization on 'i' could be a statement however, referring, perhaps, to how small you feel, or some such thing. I have seen them used with that intention (or a similar one) many times before...well not many, but a few. As lyrics they lack a chorus, not that it is always a bad thing, but something to consider. Otherwise I think this is a very well written peice. Excellent work
