I'm working on a song, but I'm having difficulty finishing one part...The chorus. I need some help with ideas/ key words...stuff like that. This is not what the story is about, but it is an analogy. Pretend that you are an alcholic and someone (a supposed friend) is waving a drink in front of you....or that you have cancer and someone you know, and should know better is talking about death around you (not necessarily directly to you)...they are consumed by their own life and their own "beliefs". I need to describe the emotions that are associated with that kind of feeling...only there's one catch...I'm trying to write it as if I'm the guy talking/ preaching shit....and shaking my head at a friend, while at the same time watching them drown. I can't even comprehend what kind of thing they are going through and why they are in their situation (like alcholism) because I've never succumb to anything like that...and I am stuck in my own little happy place. Oh, and in case you are wondering...I'm not that guy....I'm the one drowning.

    false security
    shallow and hollow
    empty and dry
    nazi
    weak
    I haven't given much thought to it, but I think it's a great idea......I gave no thought to it, but it's been at teh back of my mind.....
    insensitve asshole
    creep.....
    see I'm only thinking aloud......

    with the chorus, it would help to know what you have so far.....I like the idea....nailzo
    ....they're asking me to prove why I should be allowed to stay with my baby in Australia, because I'm mentally ill......and they think I should leave......

    Still in the works...

    You fold your arms in a knot its how you’ve learnt to deal with and walk away
    From these words unspoken and few that always seem to come between the promises
    And like a simple child you cry to me just to leave behind but I can’t see
    your reasons, I have no clue
    But if you listen close then you may find Another Truth, another side
    It’s my truth and I’m still holding on

    And so you sit drowning on your own
    Looking for the Answer’s when they’re staring back at you
    But you can’t see through your anger without scorn
    It’s the anger that can’t point its finger when it’s pointing right at you

    I know I’ve watched it all unfold and sink it…still sinking in
    And I remember all of the broken words you spoke to me then
    I still recall how I watched you fall
    Like a simple child you cried to me Just to leave behind but I could not see your reasons, I still have no clue
    You should have listened close and would have found Another life, another sound
    These are my words and I’m still holding on

    And so you sit drowning on your own
    Looking for the Answers when they’re staring back at you
    But you can’t see through your anger without scorn
    It’s the anger that can’t point its finger when it’s pointing right at you

    (THIS WAS THE PART I WAS ASKING FOR HELP WITH...the chorus)

    Because now I can’t pick up the pieces of you anymore
    I’m leaving them behind
    I’m hoping you can find
    The answers you’re seeking
    With words that are just reaching for more
    I’ll never understand
    How you can pretend

    The changes you’ve tried to hide
    My silver tongue you best abide

    Because now I can’t pick up the pieces of you anymore
    I’m leaving them behind
    I’m hoping you can find
    The answers you’re seeking
    With words that are just reaching for more
    I’ll never understand
    But I can pretend


    And I would watch you sit drowning on your own Looking for the answer’s when they’re staring back at you
    Only with our eyes closed can we truly see
