need help

[tylerxfury]

im working on my songwriting ability
because of the style i play (post hardcore/grunge), guitar and drums seem to just flow, and bass follows suit
but lyrics are always a hassle to try to push out
i know for a fact that i have the mental block against bad lyrics slowing me down, but i still continue to write and try to break that
i find that i have a habit of pushing rhymes and simplicity in songs
and everything i listen to in or even near this genre is metaphorical, and almost lacks any rhyme scheme at all
is there a tip/technique i can use to break myself of this?
anyone else who plays this style, what helps you write?

I would suggest leaving the song/ music to one side and writing stream of thought focusing your intent on the feeling or mood of the song. Tell a story or communicate your insight that is important to you. Share something of yourself. Then adapt it to fit the song.
