My best lyrics/ poetry usually comes from a catchy line i have in my head... then I wright that down... later think about it again when I have a good fitting line that can add on to my first line, at that point I'm usually in the food court at the mall with some kind of food to preoccupy my self and distract security (hehe, until braces came... It was apples!!!)... Note: my malls food court is so empty they have music playing, I usually listen to that or something on my Ipod and My latest best pieces were written on a legal pad, I always have at least one around!
