I don't mean this in a bad way, but genetically you are a cul-de-sac

When I'm writing lyrics or a poem, it all just flows from me, and then I mould it from there into something a bit more tangible. Perhaps you need inspiration, something that provokes emotion or something you care a lot about. Just think about what you are trying to say and mould the language around it.
For the actual music part, I sometimes write the music first, then the lyrics, but I find it more effective to write a set of lyrics and then using the tone of the words decide on the key the song should be in, and work it out from there.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
