The darker side of me
The darker side of me
Verse
The doubts I have about myself
Are chains I strain to break.
I’m caught up in a tug of war.
Don’t know which side to take.
Chorus
I’ve built walls without windows
For fear the world would see.
Don’t want the sun to shine in on
The darker side of me.
There’s a tiger on the prowl.
Where danger lies unseen.
In the shadows of the night.
The darker side of me.
Verse
These eyes are blind my tongue is tied
Can’t see or speak the truth.
The weeds they overgrow my mind
Where logic can’t take root.
Chorus
I’ve built walls without windows
For fear the world would see.
Don’t want the sun to shine in on
The darker side of me.
There’s a tiger on the prowl.
Where danger lies unseen.
In the shadows of the night.
The darker side of me.
Verse
My ears are deaf to what you say.
Hope has no home in here.
My fears they overwhelm my faith.
These eyes they shed no tears.
Chorus
I’ve built walls without windows
For fear the world would see.
Don’t want the sun to shine in on
The darker side of me?
There’s a tiger on the prowl.
Where danger lies unseen.
In the shadows of the night.
The darker side of me.

That is beautiful, well done, I absolutely loved that.
These eyes are blind my tongue is tied
Can’t see or speak the truth.
The weeds they overgrow my mind
Where logic can’t take root.
Don't suppose you would mind if I steal that, would you!
Just kidding!!!!

Nice work, @carroll! I enjoyed reading your lyrics. I think I liked these four the best.
These eyes are blind my tongue is tied
Can’t see or speak the truth.
The weeds they overgrow my mind
Where logic can’t take root.
Cheers,
Joseph

Very nice indeed! Lot's of strong visuals in there.
And I like the internal rhymes on line 1 of the verses like "doubt" and "about"
My only niggle would be "they" in "My fears they overwhelm my faith."
You might try either: "My fears overwhelm my faith." or "My fears have overwhelmed my faith." depending on the music
Good write!

I'm really hearing a bossa nova beat on this. Wouldn't that be ironic? Nice lyric.
