Songwriting Week Three

Songwriting Week Three assignment

Writing songs can be a chore

when all your love is lost, forsaken;

the rhyming spirit comes, then goes,

then from your daydreams you awaken.

You spend your time in vain

trying to write some verse of substance:

these songs won’t soothe your pain.

The rhythm flows, a new creation

distilled from timelessness and void

presents itself and seeks relation

to a world that’s paranoid.

You spend your time in vain

trying to write some verse of substance:

these songs won’t soothe your pain.

And so, you see, it is so useless,

and all your time is spent in vain

trying to write some verse of substance:

these words you write won’t soothe your pain.
