Broke the ice!!

Long walk on a cold night thinking what it would be like if I didn't have a place of my own I was going to and the line "In a Place" came up and and personified it to Ina Plais (long sound for the "I") Real rough, needs additional verses but like where it's going.

If anyone wants to set it to music and or add a verse, feel free just give me a heads up..

Lyrics

In a place = Ina Plaise

V I
I just wanna be Ina Plaise
Nothing but me.. Ina Plaise
Not spoken to, or listening grind
Just Ina Plaise, Ina Plaise I’ll find

C
Close my eyes and walk the rooms
Strike up the band, balls make me swoon
Or a 10x10, warm with a roof
No frozen toes would be the proof
I’m Ina Plaise, Ina Plaise
Ina Plaise, a minor loan
I me mine, Ina Plaise my own

Bridge
Ina Plaise, such a look
I’d take one night if I could book it
Reborn, old soul, in from the cold
A frozen kettle on a warm wood stove

outro
No kill-a-chill or biting breeze
all be gone, wouldn't freeze
and I'd know, surely know
I'm Ina Plaise in a place my own.

I like the "Ina Plaise" (unique-reading/sounding) hook line, @kc_ . I see how it caught @mikeb 's eye enough for him to make specific comment on it. Cool!

Interesting story to tell here, kc. Dug @phylo 's verse suggestion below. If you're looking for another, see if mine here works for you:

Always as I roam
Near or far, together with me
Grinding through life, no family
Stuck, yet somehow free

@wacha 2w

This is a solid start and a great set of lyrics, you're definitely onto something with these.

@mikeb 2w

Not sure what 'plaise' is, but this sets a hard tone, could use some heavy guitar work!

@didib 2w

You set the scene so well, describing how it feels not to have a home, and yearning for one. Excellent

@hummingbear 2w

Ah, the things we take for granted. Nicely sketched out from a different perspective. "No frozen toes would be the proof," what a sobering detail, drawing more sympathy for your homeless character. Very effective.

@andrea 2w

Oh, yes, you have something special going here. I can connect with the character and what he/she is feeling. Love the descriptives. Great start!

@coolparadisoMod 2w

Interesting I am without a real home again at the moment, yes I know it’s not real homeless but you do get a bit of the feel. This covers it all very clearly!

@negasi 2w

Love the imagery this one puts out there, and the rhymes are tight! Nice icebreaker!

@phylo 2w

I like where this is going too. Without permission or being asked, I cobbled together another verse:
I just wanna breathe Ina Plaise
Feel the calm and let go of the chase
No weight to bear, no ties to bind
Just Ina Plaise, Ina Plaise, in my mind
