Hey everyone, this is my latest one. Please give me some feedback, good or bad, thanks!

Unzipping My Skin

v1
Cobwebs hang from the ceiling
As I try to decide why I'm still here

A crib made of thorns, a blanket made of dirt
Clothes made of sackcloth, feeling pleasures that hurt
Talking to a wall, praying to a deity
Dress me up in all your fantasies

Chorus

So I'll lay myself down to sleep,
Only to hope that life is just a dream
So you lie to me to feel better
This ocean only becomes deeper and wetter

v2
I have no choice but to hurt you...
Just like you hurt me
I dig my fingers into your skin...
Just like all your dirty sins

Nightmares killing my brain cells
Dealing with feelings I never even felt
The little boy you used to love
Is now the man you hate everything about

( Chorus )

This is my prayer... ( x5)

So I'll lay myself down to sleep,
Only to hope that life is just a dream
So I slip and fall into the light...
The spotlight's on my suicide

I look into the mirror and
Cut my eyes off from the shame
Unzip my skin and step into nothing
As I become someone again

( Chorus )

This is my prayer...

I'm not sure about lyrics without music...what sort of music did you envisage going with this?

I am with Hillgate on this one-you have some powerful words and therefore thoughts here Tattered-country might be something to think about-or even Cajun-I can hear the wailin' fiddles now-of course it aint metal but it's still some nice music!

This has some great imagry and since i now know what kinda music it should go to i think it should sound great too.

my only query is in the second verse:

Nightmares killing my brain cells
Dealing with feelings I never even felt
The little boy you used to love
Is now the man you hate everything about

do you need the everything about in the last line, maybe its just me, i dunno i just dont like it, i think it sounds better in my head as just;

Nightmares killing my brain cells
Dealing with feelings I never even felt
The little boy you used to love
Is now the man you hate

But thats just my opinion everything else is great well done T&T thats two thumbs up

Sorry for arriving late to the party, TaT. Great job. This is the only line that doesn't work:

Nightmares killing my brain cells



Again, great job.
