In Regards to Myself

Hello, there, Blue Powerblogger here!

So this week, I have really kept thinking about my purpose on Earth and my singing vs. architecture dilemma. In order to get more in touch with my musical side and with the sound of Underoath pulsing through my veins, I wrote this song (Sorry, June, I didn't know you were writing about songs this week, too, but they are very different, at least):

The working title is "Grant's Song", because I always write songs about people and their names serve as the title until I think of a better one:

listen up now, listen to me
listen closely do you hear the noise
there's nothing but silence, and thats the point
this is where we stop forgetting regrets

I'm sorry for who I've become 
I'm sorry for the things I've done
I'm sorry that I used you
I never meant to use you

but maybe if you stood here for a second
If you saw the view, the view from here

I find it's getting harder and harder to erase all these mistakes
your walls are closing, closing in now and I'm trying to escape
your silence is more suffocating than your words
and I can't breathe, I can't breathe...

Where did I lose myself? Where did I go wrong?

Speak up now, speak over the noise
I'd take it all back just to hear your voice
this is where we just forgive and forget

I'm sorry for the things I've said
I'm sorry for the lies I've spread
I'm sorry that I used you
I never meant to use you

but maybe if you listened for a second
to all the things you need to hear, to hear

I find it's getting harder and harder to erase all these mistakes
your walls are closing, closing in now and I'm trying to escape
your silence is more suffocating than your words
and I can't breathe, I can't breathe...

...anymore

I also curled my hair today for church, and it's really springy. I'm thinking of doing it this way for Seussical auditions. And I got a water gun from our white elephant gift exchange at youth. I love Christmas!

And listen to "In Regards to Myself" by Underoath. I've decided that from now on, my blog post titles are going to be songs.

Until next week (WINTER BREAK WOOHOO!!!!!!!!!!!),
