Don't Touch Our Souls

Here are the lyrics for the new song I'm currently working on. Still fine-tuning the melody, so I will have to post that later.

"DON'T TOUCH OUR SOULS"

VERSE 1:

Well it keeps on getting harder and harder,

to see the forest for the trees.

And the more time we spend,

trying to make the world make sense?

It’s just driving us over the edge!

VERSE 2:

And there’s only so much we can take now,

before the cracks start to take their toll.

And the more we submit,

well we just end up with shit,

but we can’t let them bring us down!

CHORUS:

Well they can break our bloody hearts!

We’ll bear it!

Steal the roofs from over our heads?

They own them!

Bleed dry all our veins?

No problem!

Just don’t touch our souls!

Don’t touch our so-ou-uls!

Don’t touch our souls…

VERSE 3:

Well it keeps on getting harder and harder,

to believe that we’ve sunken this low.

Now the mountains we’ve climbed,

just drive deeper the knife,

and it feels like we’re losing control!

VERSE 4:

And there’s only so much one can give now,

before the soul of a man starts to die.

And we work our whole lives

to be crushed within the mines,

of a system that’s seeming to thrive!

CHORUS:

Well they can break our bloody hearts!

We’ll bear it!

Steal the roofs from over our heads?

They own them!

Bleed dry all our veins?

No problem!

Just don’t touch our souls!

Don’t touch our so-ou-uls!

Don’t touch our souls…

BRIDGE:

And it’s getting really hard to see it,

how we’re ever going to make it through,

but we just got to keep on fighting until the fight is through!

CHORUS:

Well they can break our bloody hearts!

We’ll bear it!

Steal the roofs from over our heads?

They own them!

Bleed dry all our veins?

No problem!

Just don’t touch our souls!

Don’t touch our so-ou-uls!

Don’t touch our souls…

BRIDGE:

And it’s getting really hard to see it,

how we’re ever going to make it through,

but we just got to keep on fighting until the fight is through!

CHORUS / OUTRO:

Well they can break our bloody hearts!

We’ll bear it!

Steal the roofs from over our heads?

They own them!

Bleed dry all our veins?

No problem!

Just don’t touch our souls!

Don’t touch our so-ou-uls!

Don’t touch our souls…

Hi there. I’m new here and hoping to get comments or critiques on this song. I’m not the best lyricist, as shown by my rhyming “out” with “out” but I hope there’s something there for someone.

Obviously I need assistance on how to post a song from SoundCloud correctly

Cracks

V1
He built his schemes
On paper hearts with plastic seams,
Thought they’d live forever,
And they’d be together forever,
She wore her dreams
Like second skin,
She always hoped for the better,
And they’d be together forever

CHORUS
Cracks in the surface
They started to show,
They were holding on tight
‘Cause they can’t let go,
The weight of the world’s
Proving too much to bear,
They were stuck in LA,
They were fighting for air

V2
He wore a mask
With a smile made of plastic,
His heart was just a shadow,
His love was problematic,
Promises empty,
Like a scene in a bad play,
A heart that was hollow,
Made of paper, made of clay.

CHORUS
So cracks in the surface
They started to grow,
She kept holding on tight,
She would not let go,
The weight of the world’s
Proving too much to bear,
She was stuck in LA,
She was gasping for air

Middle 8

V3
She said, “Daddy please come get me,
He’s a poser, he’s a fake,
He told me he’s a giver,
But I’ve had all I can take,
He’s paper on the inside
And he’s plastic on the out,”
She had to choose, it’s win or lose,
In the end she just walked out

CHORUS
Cracks in the surface,
They grew into holes,
She stopped holding on tight,
She just let him go,
The weight of the world,
Was far too much to hold
She got out of LA
It felt good to be going home
Cracks
Cracks
Cracks
