I went through a phase of writing the happiest songs before deciding to observe some of my darker thoughts. Whilst it helped my creativity, it had such a detrimental affect on my peace of mind and happiness.
Songwriting in my opinion, has such power. It can affect the mood and events in the life of a writer.

Welcome to my universe
where superheroes lay down their arms.
Sometimes, they curse and swear,
wearing a suit that was once debonair.
Welcome to this circus show.
Should I stay, should I go?
I chose an adventure that took me away from the pain.
You destroyed the moonlight.
With every betrayal, my will to fight was gone.
The sadness of belonging.
Welcome to the pleasure dome.
Where absent fathers search for a place to call home.
I do declare, wearing a suit that was once debonair.
You destroyed the moonlight.
With every betrayal, my will to fight was gone.
The sadness of belonging.
You destroyed the moonlight.
With every betrayal, my will to fight was gone.
The sadness of belonging.
Hindsight is saying, I couldn’t do anything new.
What should I do. Such a mess!
You destroyed the moonlight.
With every betrayal, my will to fight was gone.
The sadness of belonging.
You destroyed the moonlight.
With every betrayal, my will to fight was gone.
The sadness of belonging.
