Broken Home
this song is just some stuff i was feeling and it needs work if you have any ideas i was appreciate them also there is no chorus

Broken Home

I hate this house and everything in it,
The walls are broken and the paint is dripping,
I'm trapped and no one can help me escape this misery
and I want to get a way from this hell

This home is as a broken puzzle and I can’t find the missing pieces
The rooms are dark and damp and on the floor are the broken lamps
I feel so alone and so out of place its like I'm an outsider
This place is a nightmare and there is no chance of waking up

I like these,I would change the title and add a 3rd verse with a light at the end of the tunnel,some hope?

Chorus idea,

All our pictures hang on the wall
Our fake smiles, tell it all
In these burning beds we lay
Why do we live this way
One day it will be just a memory
Mended, free of  misery



I don't know,just popped in my head.

um..basket case's ideas seem good. What are you writing about? What is a good way to describe it? You could get a better title by thinking about these things, thinking poetically or metaphorically etc.

I didn't find much flow to your lyrics blind. Can you sing it? I may be wrong.

Broken homes broken bones


I hate this house and everything in it,
The walls are broken the paint is dripping,
I'm trapped and no one can help me
 I want to escape from this hell

This home is as a broken puzzle
I can’t find the missing pieces
The rooms are dark and damp
on the floor are the broken lamps
I feel so alone and so out of place
This place is a nightmare I cant escape

(chorus)
our pictures hang on the wall
Our fake smiles, tell it all
In these burning beds we lay
Why do we live this way?
One day it will be a memory
Mended, free of misery

On the outside looking in
Every one wants something then gone again
This puzzle piece I cant fix
I cant make the damn thing fit
im  suffocating
Just give me some room to breath

(bridge)
No more screaming
No more fighting
Tired of crying
Some one hold me
Where the hell were you when I needed you?
Come back to me and lets be
A family

This broken home
Is made of broken bones
The artificial us smile back
Why must we be blue and black?
This broken home
Is made of broken bones
The artificial us smile back
Why must we keep fighting back?

(chorus)
our pictures hang on the wall
Our fake smiles, tell it all
In these burning beds we lay
Why do we live this way?
One day it will be a memory
Mended, free of misery

BasketCase: For me the vocals don't seem to have any music behind them, like they were written without a tune in mind. But thats just me, I haven't heard the song yet.

that's ofcourse not a problem. I sometimes do that too, just to get the ideas on paper first, and when it's time to put them to the music I cut and rephrase until it fits (still keeping it aesthetically sound, ofcourse). actually I sometimes manage to cut down every single line in a lyric to 2 or 3 keywords only, which makes for a very powerful vocal line in the end.
Getting howto's and suggestions and whatnot's on your lyrics.. well, that's what this part of the forum is for, right? so don't do the and the thing man, thats all ok. And for another thing I'm sure it's possible to fit in ANY lyric to any song, even your uncut/un-rewritten version, really.
