Looking for some kind, talented soul who could compose some music for these lyrics.
There's a bit of a back story as to why I need this doing, which I have documented here http://www.songwriterforum.co.uk/collaborations/sympathetic-composer-wanted/ (http://www.songwriterforum.co.uk/collaborations/sympathetic-composer-wanted/)
Many thanks in advance.
Verse
There’s a space in my head
A place that I dread
Where I spend most of my time
There’s a void in my mind
That’s not hard to find
One day so absurd, next sublime
My minds eye only sees
The chaos and debris
My reality at odds with the world
Take heed of mothers wit
For me I admit
Ordinary has never unfurled
Chorus
I talk to my demons but do they hear
Cloak me in fear 'till I no longer care
I walk with my demons side by side
No escaping them, lord knows I've tried
Verse
Is it me who's to blame
For being insane
Who's world offers up the truth
Would life still be the same
Would I still be insane
Had I drank from the fountain of youth
So now leave me in peace
And pray that I cease
To exist in this tortured state
I'm too weary to fight
And welcome the night
Let the darkness determine my fate
Chorus
I talk to my demons but do they hear
Cloak me in fear 'till I no longer care
I walk with my demons side by side
No escaping them, lord knows I've tried
Bridge
Too much talk of better days
As drugs course through my veins
Out of darkness comes light
Before it fades into night
My shadow is all that remains
Chorus
I talk to my demons but do they hear
Cloak me in fear 'till I no longer care
I walk with my demons side by side
No escaping them, lord knows I've tried
