I don't really like presenting song lyrics without music because it isn't really showing the full picture, and I think lyrics and poetry are two different things, but here are some that I am proud of:
I'm pretty proud of the second verse here, although I am using pretty childish rhyming. This is about a dream I had that made me lovesick the next morning. In the dream I made love to this girl and then felt unable to talk to other women.
Frequency
I've got a feeling and it feels like love
but I've got noone I've been thinking of
wondering if it could be you
washed in memories
alien, blonde, and blue
(Chorus)
Come across the cosmos baby
dream to dream osmosis maybe
yr soul shares something with me
bandwidth, amplitude, or frequency
I took to you like flies to glue
paper that lay on a warm summers day
just like us here aroused yet in fear
that this bond will be forced too long
We watch our words because we feel tied
though I'd be glad to make you my bride
"I can't be with child for one more day"
as I leave, you pray and pray
this 2nd song is sort of a futuristic version of pygmalion with a bad ending. I always thought Greek myths should end in tragedy, not happily ever after. He builds a robot to love him and she crushes him when she embraces him.
Science Fiction
I've traveled from dune to dune
and I've never met a girl quite like you
but that doesn't matter anymore
I've found a new girl to live for me
I'll build her from the parts I salvage
give new life to the death touched wreckage
i'll wire her to hold me in her
arms of steel and copper
(bridge)
she won't see the pain in my eyes
she won't smell the stink of my thighs
she won't see straight through my lies
She'll never leave me like you did
I'll guarantee you that
she'll think of me as God
not as a scurvy rat
(2nd bridge)
When you see me
dead in her iron clutch
you'll pray to God
that you'd taken my ring
