I listen to other people songs and rewrite/reword their lyrics, not so much to where it's plagiarism, but to the point where I have to think of another word to replace that word, afew words, or make it contradictory.

Nah like I can write poetry, or get into a rap battle, but I can't play guitar and add words to it and make them seem "connected".
It sounds so fake.
I think it's because I think lyrics are stupid and take away from the music, but I love singing along I'm wierd

Yeah, I'd suggest finding a singer.
I think alot of lyrics sound fake because they are fake. If the lyrics are trying to create an image or say anything that isn't 100% true to the person, it's easy to sense and sounds dumb/like bullshit.
I guess just try to write lyrics that are completely honest and true to you, that you can sing with complete conviction, and then you can say anything you want without it being fake

In order to write good lyrics you need to have a message. You can't write lyrics if you don't have anything to say...
I primarily write/compose music on guitar... and feel music is sort of a language in itself. Much of my music is instrumental... but when I do include lyrics they are usually very meaningful or personal to me.

try using a small voice recorder. i find that writing takes concentration away from the natural flow of ideas i am trying to express. just keep on recording, edit and write down the good stuff later.

I don;t know you but, a lot of great song writers have been threw a lot in there life to give them deep things to sing about, and you can somehow tell phony's from fakes with out knowing. It doesnt matter what your lyrics say really, as long as the listener can tell they're genuine. Write about something that matters to you

well yall inspired me
i got this down as a song already, just need to figure out the chords for the chrous but the verse chords just match the sound of the words
anyway,
staying awake you know its so hard bored to death of fightin these wars sleeps the only peace in a world so flawed come with me where angels soar
chorus: end of the day the visions come filled with bliss i melt into the sun bullet in the head i hear a rawr five more minutes and i'll open the doors
verse 2: stayin awake your jobs at stake pay attention to all the hate scream a little in your salival state there's no end you've sealed your fate
..
not too bad

I like!!! 
i think they're great, they get the point across with out going overboard so the reader/listener is still able to apply the lyrics to their own experiences. i grade you an A+, but what do i know!
Now for the music, i still remember hearing your guitar recording you posted a while ago, i remember someone saying that it sounded ruff or something, but i remember i really enjoyed the rawness too it, and i think your lyrics really match your style of playing.
c'est bonne
