I love to write lyrics, here is a song that was actually inspired by "Rookies". Trying to motivate people to look more positively on life, or something.
Imagining this song here to be played with a lead bass (rather than a lead guitar). Most of our band's songs (included this one) are in the genre of rock. =\
There’s a Light for the loner
Yet it comes at a price
You’ll have to play out all you’re worth
Nothing else will suffice…
(Repeat of Chorus-Opening except as a bassline)
Stand self-sufficient
Smile to the beat of the sun
Shade your eyes away from the pain
And shine on ~
Live without the mind
Live with the soul
You have to be bad, have to be glad
‘Cause, boy, you’re in control
(Of your life)
Yeah ~
Life without the litter
Is like a kiss without the mouth
You can try to avoid it (boy)
But it’s still gonna dry you out
I’m not saying you should ignore it:
The pain that is in your heart
All I’m saying is that you should focus
On the things that you can impart
There’s a Light for the loner
Yet it comes at a price
You’ll have to play out all you’re worth
Nothing else will suffice…
(x2)
[Bass Solo]
Ain’t you quite the sunkiller?
[Repeating bassline]
(x8)
SUNKILLER!
There’s a Light for the loner
Yet it comes at a price
You’ll have to play out all you’re worth
Nothing else will suffice
(Yeaaaaaah)
There’s a Light for the loner
Yet it comes at a price
You’ll have to play out all you’re worth
Nothing else will suffice
(Repeat till fade)
