Get down on the ground do as you're told please don't fight anymore When you come around You come and go, what are you waiting for? We haven't seen you in quite a while Do the ghosts still haunt you for miles? When you were a child They all told you you had your father's eyes Then it all went wild I guess you changed knowing everyone dies We haven't seen you in quite a while Do the ghosts still haunt you for miles?
2.
Sweet is the parting Soft is the end Sorrow, she's starting To feel like a friend Tender temptation Few, far between Soul separation Pain never seen Oh, if only you knew How lost I am for you Give me your word Sweetest sound ever heard Put on some speed in the night Fly home to me By the sycamore tree I'll leave a lantern alight
3.
She dresses up her face For a night on the town Paints a Ruby red smile To cover up her frown She hides all of her pain Behind her brilliant mask She always gets her way She only needs to ask She's a devil doll She's a devil doll She is a jet black cat Walking across the road She is the devil’s own you’d better break the code She knows the quickest way To break a heart in two Without a second thought She’ll twist the knife in you She's a devil doll She's a devil doll

Living in the dark missing out on light Cursing every lullaby losing the good fight Chasing after rainbows only when they're black Trusting all my demons take me back Choosing not to hear kissing every wish Sending out for sanity searching for the dish Making lasting memories only when they're fake Lusting after secrets on the make I want to see I want to be a bright light light Trusting it will be better than before Saving all my memories locked outside the door Making empty promises only to myself Praying for a piece of mental health Living in the light made a brand new start Savor every second and track in on my chart Staying up and smiling thankful for the day Wouldn’t want it any other way
5.
“Clouds” Clouds are moving in  they say it's going to be a one in ten years I don't know The way my chances go Or how I let them pass me by All in a blink of an eye I don't know which way is up anymore I just know that I am feeling down It must be paradise up on the shore But with these waves I'm going to surely drown  About to set sail There's nothing for me here at the tail End of the line And yet I'm feeling fine Any other lie you'd believe Only way I'd ever deceive  I don't know which way is up anymore I just know that I am feeling down It must be paradise up on the shore But with these waves I'm going to surely drown  Please set me free Oh please, cleanse me I see you again It is quiet like I could hear a pin Drop in the snow But I can't let it show This storm that rages from inside  Created when worlds collide

about

The assignment this week comes from me.

“I’m going all Paul McCartney on you this week. I don’t care about style or genre or lyrical content this week, but I want heavy discipline on phrasing. I want tightly structured verses and choruses with a firm scheme, of your choosing, of syllable counts and hard rhymes. I want your verse and chorus lines to have the same syllable count for each line, or at least a consistent pattern. Same with rhymes - I don’t care what your rhyme scheme is, but make it absolutely consistent."
