A tough decision to make
Not one to quit but not happy
Trying to learn so much at once
Not making excuses dived in head first
Trying to be open minded
Learn different styles of music
Love for music is strong
I prefer to enjoy it not disect it
Once you play the riffs
You appreciate it more

I'd rather be writing than arguing
A ones side debates turns to fights
Told the truth over powered by lies
Doing the right thing staying positive
Being placed behind the scenes
More punishment for having an opinion
Standing tall all alone against fakes
Definitely have grown rise above the phones
Never gonna get props for working hard
An award from the higher up
Looked down on and judged
Use to fight for the team served betrayal
Took one for the team got shut down
All the team does is hate trying to do good
Feeling held back going forward anyway

Staring at pictures remembering those moments
Old friends wanting to reach out no form of contact or we grew apart
Sometimes a fall out not sure or why
When or where things went wrong
It could've a misunderstanding bad communication
Never given a chance to work it out
Tried to reach out getting ignored
Respecting boundaries after being cut off
So many thought ideas

Cramming so much at once
Trying to make it click fall into place
Come together working for it
Things dont come easy right away
Lots of behind the scenes work
Things become natural lots of repetition
Staying humble trying to learn
Making lots of progress time invested
Calm not taking things personal
Sometimes humility causing anger
Thinking of the words to say
Asking questions to understand
Trying to stay composed mixed emotions
Frustration levels high more practice
Focused on the music ear training
Feeling provoked foolshed demand
Doing what is being asked and more
Making the most of the feedback

The ear training as a bass player. It bothers me. I feel like you disect the song. I appreciate the song and love it more being able to play it. Trying to replicate those sounds tones get the tempo down.
It's fun playing in a band most of demanding.
Show up prepped and know your stuff. Work is another time consumer making time to practice then showing up with the group. Bring what you know doing your part to make the song come together make it sound like the song you hear coming out of the speaker.
Lots of repetition being able to keep the song going the bass carries and makes the song clashing with the drummer. The ear training makes it come together one section at a time. Trying to go through the song know the setlist 10 songs with different styles and patterns to remember

Writing from the heart
Trying not to fall apart
Taking on many obstacles
Going against the odds
A moral code with a compass
Facing the right direction taking steps
After years of going the wrong way
Never lost hope stay strong and prayed
Taking a time out to compose
Be centered Taking a breathe
Being yanked in different directions

Playing video games trying to relax
Being scolded by someone with no job
Burnt out from life trying to find meaning
An adventure finding purpose to survive
Not always passionate or inspired
Not trying to be like everyone else
Tried to fit in kept out turned away
After rejection there's no going back
Being denied dound it else where
Refusing to settle for less made progress
The vision within makes sense so close
Working towards goals become reality
Make the dream come true and vivid
Take those steps moving forward
Trial and error gaining results
