Enough Of This

I'm starting to understand my current situation better, so i wrote something about it, i dont know if it will become a song or not. It makes alot of sense to me, i dont know if it will to anyone else.
"Enough of This"
I feel like I’m about to snap
The life I’m leading is going nowhere I can’t see
Spinning and spinning until I break apart and become SOMETHING NEW

And these days, they look so grim
My destination is somewhere in the sky, but the clouds always linger over my head
I climb higher and higher waiting to fall and become SOMETHING NEW

But these days are growing me up, from the inside out
I’ll bend, but I won’t break, you can shake me, but you won't break me
I’ll push ahead, with the wind in my face
And at a slow and steady pace I’ll become SOMETHING NEW

I know that we all face days like these
So keep your head held high and your eyes focused on the sky
Tell yourself you’ve had ENOUGH OF THIS
And you’re striving for more than you could ever hope for

This life is full of ups and downs
Persevere through the hard times, build unbreakable character and will
And you will become more than you could ever have hoped for.
Tell yourself you've had ENOUGH OF THIS

Fight The Pain

I was in a bit of disgruntled mood today, for whateve reason. So i decided to sit down and write a song. Just let out whatever was on my heart. I just wrote it a few hours ago, so far i've written the music for the first verse. It sounds good. It's tentatively titled " Fight The Pain" and im sure i'll make some modifications as i write the rest of the music for it.

Do you ever feel like running away from everything that you’ve ever known?
Turning your back on everyone that has ever cared for you?
Because sometimes it feels like it’s easier to just duck and hide
To choose to ignore your regrets and all the mistakes that you cannot forgive

When all is said and done the ones who choose to run are the ones who DIE IN VAIN
And those who stand and FIGHT THE PAIN, the ones willing to RE-ARRANGE
Are the ones who will be set FREE

From this life of captivity that so many of us lead
Left in the dark without a hope
The burdens of so many years are weighing on our hearts and minds
And the longer we push it away, the tighter the noose becomes around our necks

So stand up and FIGHT THE PAIN
Believe in what’s inside your heart
Even if it’s so bound up it’s BARELY BEATING

Because if you aren’t reaching for the truth, you may as well lay down and waste away
Just swallow your pride and FIGHT THE PAIN

In Stride is looking for a bassist. When i read this i was slightly amused, i thought i would post it and see if anyone else find this as funny as i do. It's prbably not that funny, but i'm tired.

"We are also currently looking for a bass player who is a solid dude, can roll easy and does not bring drama. They must also be crucial and be down to practice at least once a week. No drunks or weeders please." - In Stride
