I haven't posted here so maybe i'll start with the title song for a cd i just recorded by myself entitled "The Knife Murder Syndrome." A sorta melodic death metal/Gotenburg style meets thrash in a way cd.

The knife murder syndrome
When will this tyranny end?
You've taken over my mind, And erased my soul so whats next?
To leave me grasping for air?
Its already too late, what you've done is done.

I've started the process
I've begun to write an epitaph
Of how my misfortunes
Always seem to rebegin

I've rehearsed it a thousand times in my head
Over and over again and again
This is how it goes and this is how it ends
From blood and gore to the blood red truth

its always the same topic i can't get it off my mind
A slash here a throat there.
A mere mirror of whats to come
I can't control the id, the unconcious gained a concious
I've lost all ownership

Have you come to collect?
I'll give it to you I'll take my own life to spare the rest
Its what these dreams its what they want
How do I prevent them the unconcious wills

This isn't the first time i've tried
I've tried to cope and i've tried to die
I'll try to prevent your death
By satisfying the id not with yours but mine


This is the end of the this eulogy of hate
It was never about you.,It was always about me it was me
This proves the selfish instincts
I'll save you the anguish, I'll save you from the pain
From the pain

I didn't think this was too bad. I liked the point of view it's told from and it had a few lines in it that really added strength to it. It sounds almost like someone talking to themself about their alter ego.
Cool.

It's good to write from different perspectives. It keeps the writer from getting bored and let's one walk in other shoes besides one's own. It also makes readers wonder if it's you or an alterself.
