Songwriting Contest

I'll pen the title of the song...YOU write the lyrics! :)

"Some Time tonight"

Go-------------->
Bad art can make you laugh
Good art can make you think
Great art can destroy you

- Me

(Did he just quote himself?? Yes! Yes I did!)

As probably the only resident schizophrenic songwriter on this site, I know I toss a lot of weird shit out there.

Can a title of a song alone inspire you? I think so!

Lay it on me! :)

Not by title alone. Genre is also needed, and time signature. Better to also have the rough rhythm track to know the groove.

Woops, not your typical first line of a first song, but hey...

But still... let's work with that:

If you wanna take me
Go ahead and try my head
Experience is nothing compared to
The sleep paralysis in my bed
If you wanna love me
Try to get inside my brain
Experience is nothing compared to
The nights I'm always up so late

Bed bugs in my mind
Keep them all alive
Insomnia creeps at night
Sleep paralysis till I die
Die

'Cause if you want, you could stay with me in my bed
If you want to, only if you want to
If you want, you could go ahead and fix my head
If you want to, only if you want to

If you wanted to
If you try to

Wishing I still had my dreams
Late night started, take up space
'Cause every time I try to remember
Lack of sleep takes half my brain

Bed bugs in my mind
Keep them all alive
Insomnia creeps at night
Sleep paralysis till I die
Die

'Cause if you want, you could stay with me in my bed
If you want to, only if you want to
If you want, you could go ahead and fix my head
If you want to, only if you want to
Use some pesticides and throw it in my brain
If you want to, only if you want to
Bed bugs keep me up at night and I'm going insane
If they try to, only if they try to

If you wanted to
If you try to

(Repeat chorus)
