Comatose

This song is pretty much exactly what I feel like right now:
COMATOSE by Skillet
I hate feeling like this/I'm so tired of trying to fight this/I'm asleep and all I dream of/Is waking to You
Tell me that You will listen/You're touch is what I'm missing/And the more I hide I realize/ I'm slowly losing You
Comatose/ I'll never wake up without an/ overdose of You
I don't wanna live/ I dont wanna breathe/'Les I feel you next to me/You take the pain I feel/Waking up to You never felt so real/I don't wanna sleep/ I don't wanna dream/'Cause my dreams don't comfort me/The way You make me feel/Waking up to You never felt so real
I hate living without You/Dead wrong to ever doubt You/But my demons lay in waiting/Tempting me away
Oh how I adore You/Oh how I thirst for You/Oh how I need You
Comatose/I'll never wake up without/ an overdose/ of You
I don't wanna live/ I dont wanna breathe/'Les I feel you next to me/You take the pain I feel/Waking up to You never felt so real/I don't wanna sleep/ I don't wanna dream/'Cause my dreams don't comfort me/The way You make me feel/Waking up to You never felt so real
Breathing life/Waking up/My eyes open up
Comatose/I'll never wake up without/ an overdose/ of You
I don't wanna live/ I dont wanna breathe/'Les I feel you next to me/You take the pain I feel/Waking up to You never felt so real/I don't wanna sleep/ I don't wanna dream/'Cause my dreams don't comfort me/The way You make me feel/Waking up to You never felt so real

Direction

Directions.
Which way to go?
I really need a roadmap or something.......
I'm so confused right now.
Life seems to be going nowhere. Not much is happening, and I feel incomplete kind of. Like I should be doing something, but I don't know what it is.
I've only got one life, and it's not that long. I shouldn't be wasting it, but right now it feels like I am.
One question which has been spinning round my head is "What should I be doing with my life?" I'm getting older now, so I should spend at least a few minutes thinking of my possible career.
But nothing seems to fit.
Sure, I love music, but I hate the theory side of it, which rules out any option of getting a music degree. And I can't seem to think of any job I'd like to do.
It's scary.
I've been looking around for a new guitar and am going to check a few out from some guy next Tuesday. If none of them suit I'll probably end up going for the Cort, cos heaps of reviews say it's a mean guitar.
It's such a hard choice!!!!!!!!!
On the positive side of things, we got our recording from Jason today so we can start entering those competition's, and putting up music on our blog!
Sweet!

the unavoidable battle of feeling on the outside....

i just thought of this song by fm static with a real long name:

it just suddenly flew around my head, so i looked up the lyrics:

.

It’s hard to fit in

When you’re on the outside

Feels like someone’s getting to my head

Was it something I did

or just something I said?

I’m not an idiot

but I feel like one a lot

‘Cause every time I try I end up here

Right where I started

just feeling unguarded

I don’t care if it comes out perfect

As long as I can spit it out

.

Then He said

Take your time,

take what you need to,

Peace of mind,

should never leave you,

You’ll be fine,

just let them see you,

On The Inside

Hurt takes time,

don’t be afraid of,

What you got,

show them what ya made of,

You will find,

it’s gonna be alright

.

i hate feeling left out. i hate leaving others out too.

if everyone cared about each other that would never happen....

but they don't and it does....

everyone smile!

Guitar wanted

Hey peoples!
Not much has been up band wise, but then I guess that's a little bit tough now I have no guitar but not to worry I've found two real nice ones on Trademe and pretty much have determined that I'm going to buy one of them. It's way harder getting your second eletric guitar, because as well as wanting something which looks reasonably cool and rocking, you also want something which has a great tone, etc. And also I'm trying to find something a bit different-looking than my broken, red, typical Fender-Strat-lookin' guitar. So it's a bit of a challenge.
We really need to have a concert too we'll go all rusty at this rate. =)
Flick us a comment if you can think of anywhere we can play.
Thanks,
Jordan
