And the broken record spins
as the pain grows within
as the anger fades away
as life goes from white to black to grey
I'm depressed and lonely
I'm angry and afraid
I'm lost and hopeless
I'm a broken record
skipping stuttering
the same lines
the scratchy tune
of the needle
it's always the same
everytime the record plays
can you feel the pain
or can you ignore what the lyrics say
I'm not over reacting
and seeing things that aren't there
I'm a broken record
stuck in a repetitive tune of despair
'you are such a broken record
get over it
get on with your life
things aren't that bad
at least you're still alive
why do you have to be so dramatic
it's not like your life's that bad'
if I could get over it
don't you think i would
if I could ignore the pain
don't you think I'd do it if I could
if my life were great don't you think I'd be happy?
just because it's manageable doesn't make it great
I am a broken record
but that suits me just fine
I'll find a way to get through this
just like I did every other time

Original
I do like the idea of this piece being a broken record! It's an original piece, very dynamic. I like the 3rd stanza:
it's always the same
everytime the record plays
can you feel the pain
or can you ignore what the lyrics say
I'm not over reacting
and seeing things that aren't there
I'm a broken record
stuck in a repetitive tune of despair
That's really good!! Love it!!

Beautiful and Emotional
Ehh! I really liked the begginning, and the ending was alright, but the second and third stanza I loooved the best. I liked the whole idea of the broken record. I hope everything works out for you!
