Topic: The Flies of Someone Else's Hope | |
---|---|
(sung on youtube, rough version no music)
My blood has dried up in my bones My lips have chapped from microphones My fingers scratch against my skin Trying to rid myself of them And since you’ve wandered in my head Please forget all that I’ve said I never meant to cause you pain I can’t help that I enjoy the rain Please leave me shackled to my soul For it is all I’ll ever know The whipping boards become my throne I rule the kingdom of alone And as pathetic as you may think I may be but still the stink Of rotting lives around me choke The flies of someone else’s hope I’d rather burn myself in flames Than suffer in your #@%* games And fall into the traps that you Believe make u better too Don’t think that I didn’t know The spindling of *!#% you blow You point your fingers like it’s you above But you’ve never known or tasted love Cause I am suffering here for you The cage around you’s black and blue Too blind to see that it’s your fate You’ve locked yourself with pride and hate So I will stay your punching block And let you mock me for my clock And never let you in to see The prisoner here was never me And as pathetic as you may think I may be but still the stink Of rotting lives around me choke The flies of someone else’s hope So I hope I make you feel Those bars around you are not real And focus on my faults I’ll help you tuck yours safe away in vault And with my last and bitter breath When I am covered here by death Remember the first bloom Of ever flower’s there for you Cause I am suffering here for you The cage around you’s black and blue Too blind to see that it’s your fate You’ve locked yourself with pride and hate Please leave me shackled to my soul For it is all I’ll ever know The whipping board’s become my throne I rule the kingdom of alone And as pathetic as you may think I may be but still the stink Of rotting lives around me choke The flies of someone else’s hope |

The rhyming is so forced that it makes no sense. What the heck does causing pain have to do with the narrator liking rain?
Poetry should flow naturally; the words should not be used because you need to rhyme with the preceding line. |

I think there's the foundation for a really solid piece, but a lot of the rhymes seem really forced. The first and last two lines are awesome, though.

I appreciate your view. It is not forced however, it is a song with alot of depth and meaning, sorry it missed the mark for you.
