I describe my ongoing lyrics writing projects. Where I get my ideas, how I match my words with other people's music, which little helpers I use...
Simple, yet effective, I think:
he's cracked
this boy is cracked
he won't get back on track
this boy is cracked
The song will need a bridge (maybe also pre-choruses). My ideas for the bridge in terms of content:
he left home to make his luck
he has lost the dream(s) he had
Possible rhymes: he's got stuck; dream of making a quick buck, suck
discarded: chuck, tuck
I used my Penguin Rhyming Dictionary here.
