Yeah, I only come up with lyrics when I'm in a semi-dream state or a real bad mood. I usually only come up with like one verse at a time because of this, so it takes me for freaking ever to write a song. If I were you, I'd just wait until I felt really inspired or suddenly came up with a line or two I thought was good. I know it's a frustrating, slow way to do it, but I'd rather do it that way than force myself to write something that will end up horrible.
