Hmm... my honest opinion...
The canine is much better than what I can do, but what is on it's back?
I think it would look more sophisticated if the shadows were deeper and the "dark" was closer to black. Also, because your style involves a definite outline, I'd suggest hard cell shading rather than what you have now.
Tons of potential here!
We're both aboard on an airship as it flies
And it's chasing for a star hiding from our eyes
And before all our feelings will subside
Let's escape past the air, the atmosphere

My eyes they looked into the night sky a bit too much
And then found light it turned into a painful touch
If this world will keep on spinning in the time ahead
You should go and find a reason to live on instead
Saying bye this afternoon is really too soon

This looks really good. C:
There are a few things that could use correction, and it just seems to be really what 33Kitty wrote. The back is a little strange; I know you're going for a starved look, but I would lay off on all the spinal bumps where his neck is and start them near the beginning of his lower back (Did you understand that? I'm terrible a writing).
Other then that, awesome. I really like your style of art. :D
    They're running outside And they're telling me There's been an accident Somebody do something quick But what can I do when the deed has been done? I'm so full of pride That I took you for granted And never said, "I could use someone like you," Now I can't get it out of my head Pictures of you crying, They make me cry too I'm losing my mind when you telling me I was an accident I've got to do something quick And how can you stand there and call me your son Am I so full of pride when you tell me That this wasn't worth it And I'm only wasting my breath I can't get it out of my head Sounds of you trying to get my attention But I stood, I stoop up when you called And I held out my hands when you told me to And I saw you were hiding when I spoke your name But if you won't wake up

    I don't want to wake up
    I don't want to wake up
    I don't want to wake up at all
    I don't want to wake up at all

You're welcome! I hope that wasn't worded harshly... if it were, please don't take it that way! I was just a bit annoyed with one of my OCs when I wrote this. damn blind characters they make everything so ridiculously hard! how on earth am i supposed to use imagery if she can't see?
