Self Salvation

Self Salvation

--this is incomplete--

Kind of a fusion between punk vox, plus drop A metal riff.....


V1:
I open my eyes
I notice
Life is slowly getting
Out of focus
I shed a tear
Cuz I'm afraid
I cry all night and
I cry all day

Bridge:
What is wrong with me then
Depression sets in
I can't seem to see
The direction that I'm headin' in

V2:
I'm worried
That my life is lost
Wasted...
In an ocean of emotions
Secretly beggin and pleadin
Wonderin' why my wrist is bleedin'
Then I realize I've committed
Suicide..
Wonderin' why I chose to die..

Chorus:
Somebody help me
Tha's all I'm askin' for
I'm behind a great wall
Of Denial and I need
Out...
Listen to me
Speak to me
And find out why I'm hurtin
Inside...
Hurtin' deep inside!

V3: - Yet to be determined -

Hmm, I liked it until you blatantly said it was suicide. OUCH ! That knocked a few points off with me. I think it had a great flow to it and was like you were talking directly to someone else. Maybe even just thinking it but wishing another person could know exactly what your thoughts were. I guess because I've done that many times, maybe not this situation, but the thought process. I like that in pieces.

I've made little subtle changes . I don't think they distract from your message , but make it less 'whiny' sounding. Of course if you're in this mentality you'd be hurting for whatever reason so I don't think that needs to be said . Strength is needed to support the song itself. By that I mean the lyrics need to have the same feeling throughout and not drift to helplessness. One can need help , but still not be trivial about it. Does that make sense to you?
Here's my changes anyways . You can take or leave them. What do you think?
