Brainstorming in song format

This letter's been floating in my mind
Maybe about something like a year

What to say, what to say, what to say
What to say in your ear

My head, my head, my head
My head

Upside down, turned around
I don't think I can stay here with you
In this place
In this, nightmare

In this box of sorrowed shadows
And fading memories

Are you going to play this up-beat and sarcastic? Or slow in a minor?

Probably the latter.

mmm when I read it I was playing something that I thought it fit well into. But it was upbeat and sarcastic - and I began screaming, in my worst punk voice, the lyrics. I must say that it is rather deep and dark. If incomplete. What I like most is the "In this box of sorrowed shadows - And fading memories"

Line. I dropped the tempo to half-time for those lines.

I like this, and like akuard i was struck by the last lines. As stand-alone poetry he whole piece is a little lacking, but as lyrics? Could be great. I agree with your choice to play it slow and in a minor. It sounds like it could be a haunting piece of music.
