This one took a lot out of me, I hade to think about it for a while.

What if I was to die tonight
Would the sun still rise
Would there be a tommrow
Could I hear your cries

what would happen if I did not answer your calls
would you scream and yell and say bad things about me
then when you found out I was gone would you feel horrible

Sticks and Stones
Can break your bones
But words can never hurt you

What if you tossed it all away
Gave it all up for some dream
Would there be a consequence
Is life lived by such things

What woud happen if I was suddenly gone
would you feel lost and hopeless, your whole world gone
then would you change

Sticks and Stones
Can break your bones
But words can never hurt me

Then when my life is over
would you pray
asking god and everyone else
seeking pentence everyday

Sticks and Stones
Can break your bones
Your words have already hurt me

Sticks and Stones
Can break your bones
Those words will forever haunt me...

No words no explination just music

Greetings Taintedpoet,

I'm not sure how this one slid under the radar for two days, maybe because it was posted Thanksgiving eve? In any event, this is really quite good! I particularly love the progression of the choruses. Escpecially the last two choruses, from "your words have already hurt me" to "Your words will forever haunt me." Really, quite well done! I like the sort of introspective pondering feel to the song.
Real good work.

Yeah - good stuff.

The first stanza made me think of the whole 'if a tree falls in the woods...' thing - only better!

Anyway, I was thinking about music - I think it could work as either a loud, angry type of song, or a quiet, sad, dissapointed one. Have you had any ideas?

Honestly I have no inspiration comming to me on what the music would sound like. The only thing I have is an intro played in harmonics but it needs something more for this song. If you would like to put it to music and tell me what worked best for you, that would be really helpful.
