Hi everybody, I`m new here!  :)
I`ve just wrote my first lyrics in English and looking for somebody with native English, who can say is it totally a mess, or I have a chance  ;D
Thanks in advance!))

GETTING COLDER

We`re feeling right or feeling wrong
That`s feel like warm but getting colder
We're feeling weak or feeling strong
Or crying on somebody`s shoulder
A thousand miles away from here
And everybody is fighting soldier
You`re running from the ancient fear
Of be alone and getting older

The violent and bloody scenes
Fulfilling of imagination
The newest DNA machines
Creating our perfect nation
In God we trust but don`t believe
Depending from the situation
Another perfect day to live
Another filthy allegation


We crying after summertime
We crying when it`s getting colder
And after doing bloody crime
We longing for somebody`s shoulder
The moments of forgotten year
You keep them in a hidden folder
But do you have that ancient fear
To be alone and getting older?

Hello, I'm also new here, so I'm not an experienced songwriter. English is however my first language so I'll make some suggestions about your use of language.
Also I'll tighten up on your sentence rhythms because they are a bit loose in places
Also I'll try and make V1 & V2 maintain the same meter.
Perhaps the meter of the Bridge should be purposefully different from the verses.
Some lines don't make sense to me, but I won't address those.
Hopefully, it will be more readily singable with these changes.
It's a good start for someone whose English is not their first language.

GETTING COLDER

V1
We`re feeling right or feeling wrong
Feeling warm but getting colder
Feeling weak or feeling strong
Or crying on somebody's shoulder
A thousand miles away from here
Everyone's a fighting soldier
You`re running from the ancient fear
Of loneliness and getting older

Bridge
The violent bloody scenes
Without imagination
The newest DNA machines
Create our perfect nation
In God we trust but don`t believe
Depending on the situation
Another perfect day to live
Another filthy allegation (I don't understand this line in context with the previous lines)

V2
We're crying after summertime
Crying when it`s getting colder
And after doing bloody crimes
We're longing for somebody's shoulder
The moments of the passing years
You keep them in a hidden folder
But do you have that ancient fear
Of loneliness and getting older?
