heres a song I've been working on all input is welcome



WINGS

Wings up my sleeves and a heart of gold
Still I sufferer from heartache untold
I've been lost and lonely for so damn long
I can't even remember what went wrong

I started burning bridges to hide from my trouble
Only to find out now I got double
I thought it lock the door on my pain
But now I know it'll always remain

Wings up my sleeves and a heart of gold
Still I can only sit and watch my story unfold
Lost in a trap of my own making
Still chained to a dream while i'm waking

Till the day she sets me free
The shadows will be my only company
Seeing her will end my lonely nights
For her love will set all to rights

Wings up my sleeves and a heart of gold
Awaiting my rescue by one so bold
Come to banish the shadows without fear
For I cant stand to shed another tear

Shadows from the past have followed me around
Till I no longer care if i'm above or below the ground
I've been hiding from my past so long
I don't think i'll ever find where I belong

okay i'll choose one thing to mention...

spelling could be improved in this song. eg in the last line you have 'ill' which spells the word for someone being unwell. it needs an apostrophe i.e. i'll (it means 'I will')



okay two things...

consistency is important. i'm referring to your use of 'I' and 'i'. i suggest you choose one and stick with it through the whole song.


and a third...

i like the chorus. 'wings up my sleeves' is an interesting image. i also think the chorus rhymes well and the rhythm of it feels smooth to say out loud.

thanks for giving me the chance to comment.

I realize that some song lyrics tend to be cliché. For example, "heart of gold" in your first line. If I was reading this as a poem, I wouldn't enjoy it as much, but I realize that song lyrics are bit different. Once you add a good voice and good music, I'm sure it will be quite enjoyable.

Wings up my sleeves is a cool image.
dame long - damn long
wile - while
