First, you do not need to apply for a copyright unless you plan to enforce it; your songs were copyrighted automatically the moment they were written on paper. The "music", if any, would have its own copyright once it is composed and recorded, whether it is put onto paper or not. In fact, each new sound recording of a new performance of the music is a slightly different "creation" and would have its own "sound recording" copyright, which is owned by the performers or producer.
