Carousel

It's been a while since I've actually written a full length post, and now I have a few more readers since sharing the link on my facebook page.

So to start things off, some new lyrics I've been working on:

Run Home
Take a deep breath
Then let it out slow
Try to keep calm
Don't let it show


I'm gonna miss you, when you're gone
Yeah, I'm gonna miss you
But I will be fine. don't worry about me
I will be fine


Everyone gets the chance to say goodbye
But you and I never got the chance to say hello


And that's all I have so far for that one.

Ryan was right, I really do suck at writing happy songs, unless they are silly songs.
Most of my songs are serious and not happy, but they come from personal experiences, deep emotions and all that other cliché song writer stuff. Now I'm not saying that I don't have any happy moments to sing about, because I can express those emotions is a different way, and for those of you who know me, I struggle with telling people I am upset or hurt, and as they say, when words fail, music speaks. Different moments in my life that have upset me usually end up with a song written about them, some even get 2 or more, ie Josh has 5 songs so far.

Gosh, it's been over a year and it still haunts me. It's not as bad as it was, but at Parachute I was on edge the whole time, worried he might come to the info desk while I was working, but I never saw him. In fact, I don't even know if he was there at all that weekend. I'll never know, but I don't quite know how I would of reacted  if I did see him.

My life seems to be spinning, going through the same or similar cycle over and over again: I feel alone; my life feels like novel, like its not real; I feel like I don't belong, people around me are very hostile towards me; I get stressed out, but try to always have smile on my face.
Focusing on the good things.
But something always gets me.
Tips the scales.
Breaks me.

I keep going in circles, but each time holds a new challenge, new consequences, new solutions and outcomes. It does make for an interesting life, but I am starting to see patterns emerging in a number of places in my life.

Or maybe I'm just over thinking.

I'm always over thinking.

It's just part of who I am.

I'm me.

  1. Cool lyrics! Man I'm so jealous of you being able to write stuff! I don't think I've even written a full song this year, it's shocking.
    And don't worry to much about it. People need sad songs as much as they need happy songs, and more often than not they speak to people more than the happy songs do... Just write what you feel! It's actually amazing how much others can relate to it...
    As for the other stuff, just try not to think to hard about it! Embrace the new stuff, and just enjoy life. :)
    Thanks for blogging, I really enjoyed your post :)
