Basically:
I'm in a band. I write most of the lyrics for said band because my singer is a failure at creativity.
So one day I say to myself, why shouldn't I write a song based on the greatest video game ever?
Luckily none of my friends play PW, so they don't get the reference.
Anyway, it's based loosely on the story of and from the point of view of . It's not the EXACT story, obviously, it's just based off of it, and anyone who's played the game should get it...
It's called Dear Dahlia.

Oh, dear Dahlia
I found her body lying in the courtyard
Right where you said it'd be
And I tried, tried so hard to save you
But now I'm here alone

And I wish I knew who you think you are
Cyanide personified
You got, you got, you got what you deserved
And now, oh, Dahlia, I forgive you

Oh, dear Dahlia
I heard the story through the grapevine
And, girl, you're only killing yourself
Sweet sixteen with a body count
Going on four now, going on four now

And I wish I knew who you think you are
Cyanide personified
You got, you got, you got what you deserved
And now, oh, Dahlia, I forgive you

You're the princess and the devil
And you left the angel all alone (with me)
You're the princess, the princess and the devil
And you left your angel all alone (and you won't drag him down)

Oh, dear Dahlia,
What's left, what's left, what's left for you to do?
No one knows a thing about you but me...
Oh, Dahlia...

And I wish I knew who you think you are
Cyanide personified
You got, you got, you got what you deserved
And oh, oh, Dahlia...
And I wish I knew who you think you are
Cyanide personified
You got, you got, you got what you deserved
And now, oh, Dahlia, I, I, I forgive you...

Sweet sixteen with a body count,
I'll see you in hell, dear Dahlia...




So...yeah. xD Thoughts?

I love it! The wording is exquisite and I love the mood that the words create
I wish I could write lyrics XP
Is there any way you can post the music to it as well? I would love to hear it ^^

"Cyanide personified"
I LOVE IT!!!

You're so incredibly talented. ^_^ I can't wait to hear this with music.

---

Thanks for the comments, you guys!
I'm afraid I can't post the music...we're sorely lacking in recording equipment.

[not to mention a band name...our original name was All Fall Down, but that turned out to be taken. I'm pushing for Dead Girls Dance but my singer won't have it. Of course this is off topic...]

By the way:

I sort of rewrote the song, because my singer is a diva.
I wrote another song called Congratulations Lacey that made her incredibly happy, and she was all, MAKE THAT OTHER SONG MORE LIKE THIS ONE!
So I rewrote it.
The thing is, it's farther off from the original story...
It's kind of more like Iris was Dahlia's accomplice all along, than what actually happened.
I'll leave the first one up since it's more related, but here's the second version if anyone wants:

---

I didn't think it was possible, but I think I like the second version even better. O_O

I feel like I should write lyrics..... even though I sorely lack in musical prowess. Well, my parents say I have talent... but I've never been interested by playing a musical instrument. I haven't found something I actually LIKE practicing. (well, I've only tried piano and guitar, but that's beside the point)

And I'm freaking tone deaf when singing. I've been kind of considering voice lessons, though...

---

TRY WRITING THEM!
I'm serious, I don't think I'm talented as a writer as all, but I've been told differently by a lot of people since I was a kid...
I honestly wrote these completely on a whim.

And I thought I'd never find an instrument I could stand playing for more than five minutes at a time either...
I don't have any attention span whatsoever.
And then I was introduced to the drum kit.
And now you can't keep me off it for five minutes at a time.

I wish I could sing. >_< I'm tone deaf as well. A sick part of me wants to take voice lessons but I'll just get made fun of.
