Tell Myself (Original) - Sable's Grace

Hey guys. I saw my friend Alex Cav's original songs he's been doing (I'm pretty proud of him that now he's getting into'em) and it inspired me to write one. But about what? Well, that took some thinking, then I did some reflecting and well, this song came out of that.

This song's pretty much a pep talk to myself, kind of. Since I've been stressed out, frustrated, depressed, and not sure what to do with the world around me. Many people in my life actually have no clue about this 'cause I don't feel like like telling them, so here's a song describing it, sort of, haha.

And it doesn't have to be just for me, if you guys can relate to this and feel this way and/or feel like this song speaks to you, just replace my name with yours and you're good to go. :D

Regardless of how this song came to be, I hope you all enjoy it and maybe it has meaning for you too.

Lyrics:
Your so stressed out
You feel like breakin' down
You can't cop out
You're trapped in your subconscious doubt
You feel so cold there on long island
The colors changin', leaves are fading
It's just getting colder
Your island's getting colder

You don't have to stand for this
I know
I say "You can fight through this,
You can beat this fuckin' cold"
Don't have to take the shit that life throws at you
Do what's in your heart, what's in your mind
The belief that you believe inside
I tell myself this all the time

I don't write songs from just inspiration
No
I write songs for motivation
Just to move on
"Dear Nick
It's not so bad as you think
You're just going through some stressful thoughts
But I'm not letting myself sink"

My friend says "Nicky, life's a test, you just have to take it..
Don't alienate yourself from friends, everything just happens for a reason.."
Just take one step at a time
Don't hastily do what people say you have to
What you have to

You don't have to stand for this
I know
I say "You can fight through this,
You can beat this fuckin' cold"
Don't have to take the shit that life throws at you
Do what's in your heart, what's in your mind
The belief that you believe inside
I tell myself this all the time
Look at yourself there in the mirror
It's sometimes not even you
That's really looking back
Don't let others try to mold you
To change your personality
To influence what you've become to be
"Don't give a fuck what people think about you"
That's what she told me
And I feel fine
I tell myself this all the time
Yeah...

[Note: Yes, I am wearing the same Marvel shirt that I wore in the other 2 videos I uploaded like a day ago, it's a sheer coincidence really 'cause there's like a week gap in between those 2 videos and this one. I just really like the shirt, okay? Haha]
[Note 2: I'm sorry that the audio and the footage are off sync a bit. What I do is simultaneously record the audio and visuals separately (with the help of my mic there) and kinda line it up post editing. But Sony Vegas was giving me a hassle so that's why it's like that, but it's not too bad.] -Nick
