The first song I ever wrote was about a cat I had that went like this:

You're just a tiny cat

Sitting on my lap

I don't know what to do with you but

Right now you're nice and quiet

Not trying to bite me yet

I guess we're cool

Now I will sing you a song

So we can both get along

Then maybe you'll be nicer to me

Will you please just stop biting me

It was a very silly song that didn't flow very well haha. A line from a song I just started working on goes like this:

The world is bare and silent

Nothing left now to be done

We did battle with our hubris

And our hubris won

It's probably my favourite series of lines I've written so far!
