what do you think of these lyrics anybody? any problems that you folks can see?


Underneath

Early morning the sun wakes up everday
All the workers rise and go off for 8
the leaves float down stream with the current underneath
but everytime i look around me, i see your face

Cause you threw me away
into the darkening grey
cause you threw me away
over the edge today

The time I have spent has been rendered useless
the wounds i used to mend, the flesh has come apart
the wind blows the snow away, as spring sets in
but everytime i look around me i still see your face

cause you threw me away
into the darkening grey
cause you threw me away
over the edge today

little chorddy solo thing and repeat chorus.

any feedback good bad humorus (i know its probably a bad idea to ask this) i would appreciate



by the way how do you spell grey the color ---- grey or gray

Grey is the english spelling, gray is the american spelling.
 
i usually spell it "grey"-because of castle greyskull :D

feedback: (totally subjective and not trying to bash any of this)

tough to perceive how the main verses would go. musical accompaniment or marks for syllables would fix that, i suspect. easily workable, the syllables are pretty uniform in feel to me from line to line-i'm just not sure where they're going from reading it alone.

on the chorus, i would probably chop them to two lines, removing "away" and slapping the second/fourth lines on. that said, i don't know how it flows as intended, so this is just how it struck me. i dig the imagery, btw. simple, but seasonal imagery always conjures emotion up for me.
 
i would put up a clip but i don't really know how to put one up
