Lyric/s of the Day

I chose my first lyric as it reflects on countless conversations I have had with my friends. A conversation that seems to go in circles, I know the answers to the questions I keep on bringing up. I know what I have to do. I just need to muster the strength and do it. My friends know what I am talking about! haha. Once again it is Rise Against. I rummaged through my CD drawer last night and dusted off all the old punk albums I grew up to and loved. And one of them was a legend compilation called family business. And one of the tracks, Rise Against - Six Ways 'Til Sunday. The song came on and it reminded me of my sister, I had dedicated it to her once. The verse then came on that is of relevance to me, today.
Here is my snippet...

"You're claiming to be something different
so wanting to believe
that you're better than the rest
to make up for your self-esteem
you talk to hear your own voice and
you've left me no choice but to choose
I miss the person that you were
but I don't miss you.."
- Six Ways 'Til Sunday by Rise Against

My second lyric is chosen because I have reached the point where...


"I declare I don't care no more
I'm burning up and out and growing bored...

I'm not growing up
I'm just burning out
And I stepped in line
to walk amongst the dead"
- Burn Out by Green Day

I felt like a pre-packaged robot, machine thing today. I am glad I have new things for me waiting in the wings. This is not my career, it is my job.
