here is my advice. give it up! if your guitar playing is naturally progressive, and yet your lyrical skills are subpar (in yr opinion, who knows we might think it is golden) then give it up and focus on what you are best. by attaching yourself musically to the lyrical process which YOU feel is not working, you are stagnating your other musical abilities. continue with the guitar, and play the best you can play, originate what you can originate, and be the best you can. I myself gave up on lyrics a long time ago, because I am apparently not a poet, but I am indeed a talented guitar player of infinite styles. it took me years to realize that wasting time on lyrics and my guitar playing was stuck in one direction, and after I opened up my heart to my actual abilities at the guitar expaned. I left the one-sided world of distorted guitar music to the new realms of jazz, blues, jam band, dance music, and especially reggae.
and if you are meant to be a talented lyricist, the word will come when the pressure is off...
