writing songs

[ThroneofbahoS]

How do you guys write your texts? Do you have a certain pattern that you follow or do you just begin writing and see what comes out of it? I usually create somekind of pattern and try to follow that...

Patterns are too restraining to express what I want to say. I just write and write and see what happens. Sometimes they are 2 lines sometimes it's 10 sets of 4 line stanzas, it keeps things varied.

I just wait till a lyric pops in my head and i go to write it down and sadly i use patterns...... i think its really gay, and i dont know why i do it . i try not to but then it always ends up im tring to rhyme, do sentences with so manys words. and most of the time i edit it so much that the lyric i had came up with isnt there. which is why i play guitar
