Photocopy

An attack on writer's block and all it's dastardly inner-workings

Today, babe, I realized
That all my songs are just copies of me.
Screenplay ready
Ready to see.

Oh come on.
There’s so few concepts
For me to explore.
I’m such a bore.
I’ve got nothing left to say.
Says, me.
Say, me.

Say, my name, oh lovely.
Cuz’ it’s the sound that I need.
It’ll help me breathe.
Because I’m having trouble.
I’m having trouble.
Can’t do that anymore.

Oh baby, honey.
Be my dictionary.
Give me words I need
To be interesting.
Oh lovely woman
Be my dictionary.
Give me that word that I need
That makes me interesting.
Says me.

Today, babe, I realized
That all my songs have been already done
With billboard run
And better puns.

Oh come on.
There’s too little good
Left on this planet.
Sunshine don’t fit.
Clouds of dust that we have bit.
Can’t breathe.
Beneath.

Say, my name, oh lovely.
Cuz’ it’s the sound that I need.
It’ll help me breathe.
Because I’m having trouble.
I’m having trouble.
Can’t do that anymore.

Oh baby, honey.
Be my respiratory.
Give me breaths I need
To keep on with living.
Oh lovely woman
Be my respiratory.
Give me the air that I need
To keep on with copying
Me.

I was writing this for a bluesy rock sound.
Tell me what you think.

"Today babe, i just realized all my songs are just copies of me". that's so true and really original dude. I like the beginning so far, nice work!

I was thinking as I was reading this of a basement club--you know those wonderful dives--chalk full of brick and brimming with gin soaked singers - regaling the crowd as they strum between songs. --But does House of Smoke and Mirrors by Matthew Good also comes to mind??? my favorite lines...
"That all my songs have been already done
With billboard run
And better puns".

Great write-
