[vs1]
walking through the pieces of my shattered life
i find a shard of the things i did in spite
of the fact that what i was doing was wrong
and i regret it now that its said and done
[ch]
why do i do this to my health
i'm self destructive
why do i do this to myself
anti-constructive
[vs2]
i stepped on a slice of my own memories
it pierced through my skin and made my conscience bleed
nothing that i do can heal this soul of mine
i do not think a band-aid will work this time
[ch]
[vs3]
who needs enemies when some live inside me
and they wage war when someone reminds me
i've despised these ghosts for much to long
they are the memories that i wish were gone
[ch]

Hey, love the imagery of the speaker's "shattered life", especially about being cut by a shard and the bleeding conscience. Very original. best part for me is:
"who needs enemies when some live inside me", nice idea.
generally good structure and rhyme, couple of rhythm issues tho IMO, for example:
"walking through the pieces of my shattered life
i find a shard of the things i did in spite"
- As i said i like the imagery, but you might want to add another syllable or two in the second line. depends on how you sing it tho i guess.
Also slight repetition in the chorus with
"why do i do this to my health", and then "why do i do this to myself"
I would suggest possibly changing the second part to something like: "what makes me do this to myself".
Otherwise, good job i like the theme.

As for the name, how about something simple like "broken" or "Shards of life".

I like " Shattered Life" as a title
I like your verses but I think the chorus needs to be changed. It just doesn't grab/move me the way the verses did.

i do not think a band-aid will work this time okay...the song kicked @$$ but...one thing bugged me to all hell...gotta change band-aid. Something more fancy....Tourniquet might work or something like that...

Maybe try adding a second chorus after the 2nd verse that would help flow into the 3rd verse and the chorus ends the song really well.

the second two lines in verse one i dont think make too much sense. i mean they flow and all but i just dont understand what youre trying to say you know. otherwise this is a pretty solid song.

Yuck. It's like everything else I've ever read on this website. So I'll give you no points at all.
You should entitle this song "Crawling" since Linkin' Park already made it.

The first two lines rhyme, which was a general theme for your verses...but "wrong" and "done" don't rhyme, I suggest fixing that.
I like everything else though...but...may I suggest making the verses or chorus longer?
It seemed a bit too short.
and for pixiesfanyo...

I know that song, and this isn't like it. So stop hatin'.
Nice job PbEknight777

Later for you.

I like this more than the other one I just read... it offers some imaginative imagery, I suppose. I'm never very good at explaining why I like certain songs, but I like this one :thumb:
Sorry I can't offer any helpful advice...
Overall 8/10

i stepped on a slice of my own memories
it pierced through my skin and made my conscience bleed
nothing that i do can heal this soul of mine
i do not think a band-aid will work this time
I like this verse alot
And "Shattered Life" would be a good title
I think you could clean up the first verse a bit
of the fact that what i was doing was wrong
and i regret it now that its said and done
I don't like these two lines
Other then that it's good
7/10
