50/90 Song Challenge 2018

Song #1 of the 50/90 songwriting challenge.

LYRICS:

Just another day without philanthropy
And I just wanna know who I'm gonna be when I grow up because I'm only 19 but I feel a lot younger
At least I feel younger mentally because physically I feel like I'm 83
Cracking bones and popping hips
Here, check out my new scoliosis
And I don't know where to go to get these problems fixed
I tried going to the doctors, but they told me to "suck it up bitch"
I'm just a little bitch in a bitchy world
Full of douchey guys and superficial girls
But I can't prove the world wrong, so Imma just keep writing my songs

Cracking Bones at 83

Song #2 of the 50/90 Songwriting challenge. A song I started in college during a very rough time in my life.

LYRICS:

I hate to see our walls crumble down
Misfits in a fist fight with no winner crowned
You tell me to move on, but I can't
You were all that I had and now I am left with nothing but myself
Music from the speaker hanging from my shelf
Dancing with the demons in my room
Quiet whispers in the night keep me in tune

You say that you are depressed
But do you even know what it's like to depend
On everyone else to make you happy
When everyone you trust ends up leaving

Headaches in the bathroom of my dorm
Two in the morning feeling cold in the warmth
I know you all talk about me
I know you're all displeased with me

I can't even look at myself
I look in disgust at my piss-poor health
Faces in the mirror I don't know
Screaming left and right; which way am I supposed to go?
I don't know anymore
If you want to leave just walk out that door

You can leave, they always leave
Don't worry about me, just trust me
You can leave, they always leave
Don't worry about me, just trust me
You can leave, they always leave
Don't worry about me, just trust me
You can leave, they always leave
Don't worry about me, just trust me
I am fine
At least sometimes
Don't tell me you love me
I know it's not true
Don't tell me you love me
I know it's not true
Don't tell me you love me
Don't tell me you love me
Don't tell me you love me

Quiet Whispers

Song #3 of the 50/90 Songwriting Challenge. Tell me what you think.

LYRICS:

VERSE
I've got a ghost in the closet, it won't come out
I've tried every remedy, but nothing works out
I've tried consulting professionals, but they're all fake
I've tried just ignoring it, but the sound that it makes keeps me up so late

CHORUS
And I don't know what to do with you
I try to find you but I see right through you
I wonder if I'm a ghost in your closet, too
I wonder if I'm a ghost in your closet, too

VERSE
I'm cleaning up the broken pieces we left on the floor
I'm sweeping them across the room and out the door
It now seems like years ago that we were whole
Eventually, you had to raise your white flag up the pole

CHORUS

BRIDGE
Tell me you love me; come back and haunt me (x8)

CHORUS
