Lateralus' songs.
Okay so this thread is where I'm going to write and develop my own and my band's song lyrics and poetry. I might even post some of them in video form!
To start off, this is one of the first songs we wrote and it's called 'Amy.' It's about a girl we went to high school with who took her own life in 2004. We've matured lots as songwriters since but this song is still very special to us. R.I.P. Amy Her hair was made of embers There was a flame in her eye to match She picked up boys in Melbourne bars But still she was detached Her car was lined with tiny bits Of paper, scribbly prose She said she kept her soul on loose-leaf and made all of her own clothes Amy come drive with me We'll elope from all this mess Roll up your sleeves don't be ashamed Put on your prettiest dress On the outside we saw her smile, Lip gloss, cherry red On the inside we didn't know The hurt, the pain, the dread Amy come drive with me It doesn't matter where we go Roll up your sleeves don't be ashamed Noone ever has to know Amy, come drive with me Amy, roll up your sleeves Amy, come drive with me Amy, roll up your sleeves Amy come drive with me we'll elope from all this mess Roll up your sleeves don't be ashamed put on your prettiest dress Amy....

She said she kept her soul on loose-leaf
and made all of her own clothes Great line. Suicide is such a sad thing to deal with for everyone affected. A fitting tribute.

Wow, it's really weird to hear someone's voice that you've only talked to online, but yours is really beautiful. I agree with the Missy higgins comparison as well.
