All Of This

Lately I've been reading through some lyrics I have written and I've been surprised that even though I may have written them a while ago some how they still hold strong.
I find it amazing the strength lyrics hold and the potential to share feelings/emotions or even experiences with people all over world.

The following are the lyrics to one of my songs titled 'All Of This' written in 2008. Enjoy ;)

Days go by like water through a plug in a sink that's leaking and everyday seems to get harder and harder.
Things gathering and piling up on the list of things to do.
It seems like every little thing is conspiring to break us too.

Everyday there's something new, a new challenge for us to prove.
That we can take what is thrown at us and turn it into some new tool.
That we can use again this time or next into something useful so that we can make sense, why it is we put ourselves through all of this.

Time stands still in a second when there's something pressing you should do.
Like jump out of the way of a car (or a bus) before it runs you down or hits you.
When you're under stress and you're waiting for an answer is it no or yes?
The decision seems to go on and on forever.

It is hard, is time against us?
Or is it what is forcing us forward to enjoy the little things we do?
What's going on? Is there any time left for us to enjoy the things we've worked so hard for?

What's going on? Does anything make sense?
Why can't we be happy with what we have?
We still have life. While we're breathing we still have time.
Why don't we make the most of life and live for now?
