I love reading lyrics. I am a sucker for metaphorical basises in words, so aim high in the metaphor department for a better chance at winning. It's not a guarentee at winning, but it will give you a better chance. 
I was kind of dissatisfied with Cameron William's winners - that was why I started this contest. Cameron's winners weren't bad, but some of the other writers who did not place were simply the better writers.
You can put in as many entries as you please. Please note that if you wish to remain anonymous - and if you know me and I know you - you should use the default backgrounds and colors, for I am already pretty knowledgable of customized backgrounds and who they belong to.
Please leave heavy swear words ("F"s, "S"s, "P"s, etc.) out of the picture. Swear words do nothing to a song except make it inappropriate for kids. I do not consider "hell" a swear, it's a curse. I also don't like suggestive (in the sexual sense) lyrics, so leave those out as well.
It can be any genre: love, war, dark, spiritual
- anything not filled with swear words or suggestive lyrics. I appreciate if you point out the verses, choruses and bridges, etc., but are not required.
I probably should tell everyone entering this contest that I heavily dislike mainstream music lyrics, just to be fair - most of them are cliche and overused lines (the general idea of them, anyway).
Best of luck to you all.
