Here's the conflic song completed.

This Time
Pushing we pull until we snap
Breaking each other with severity
Each punch leaves the best of us to fall
Fall hard onto the floor
Onto the floor

The worst of us is left to fight this fight
And I am just too tired to light this match
There's nothing left to burn but each other
So should we, could we be better this time

chorus
If you pray for me
And I pray for you
Abide in love
Will we bear it through
This time
Oh This time
If we seek the truth
Look pass the lies
Will we see forgiveness
In each other's eyes
This time
Oh This time

The words on the page say "bear in love"
It's easier read than what we do
If I drop this pride and submit, my friend
Would we Could we be better this time

Chorus
Guitar Bridge
Chorus

Oh This Time
Oh This Time

Pushing we pull until we break

I haven't finished the conflict song but God is blessing me with more lyrics. I read Jeremiah 17 and it was convicting of who we really are. So in the shower this morning, I wrote the beginning of this song.

Mirror mirror can you see my heart
Mirror mirror I’m playing a part
Mirror mirror can you see my heart
Mirror mirror I’m falling apart

I’m black and blue from the inside out
Battered and bruised I’m bleeding out loud
My heart is dark, deceitful at best
I cannot sleep, my mind won’t rest

Thoughts of broken hands and shattered dreams
My life is unraveling at the seems
Rip out this hem for a few more scars
Its just about time for me to fall

Eric and I wrote actual melody today. So I updated the lyrics... now I just need a second verse and ending. Here it is:

Pushing we pull until we snap
Breaking each other with severity
Each punch leaves the best of us to fall
Fall hard onto the floor

The worst of us is left to fight this fight
And I am just too tired to light this match
There's nothing left to burn but each other
So should we, could we be better this time

chorus
If you pray for me
And I pray for you
Abide in love
Will we bear it through
This time
Oh This time
If we seek the truth
Look pass the lies
Will we see forgiveness
In each other's eyes
This time
Oh This time

I started writing this song about conflict. Lately, my relationships with people who I loved the most have been falling apart. This is song is more for Miss Turner than anyone else. I'm hoping that it will be therapeutic and will help us build a stronger friendship in the long run. Oh, by the way, I have a music myspace. Check out www.myspace.com/vegaskate for my music. Its nothing new but hopefully it will turn into that. Here's the beginning of this new song that is titled "This Time".

We push and pull until we snap
Breaking each other with severity
Each punch leaves the best of us to fall
Fall hard onto to the floor
The worst of us is left to fight this fight
But I'm tired of this match
And we have nothing left to burn
So let's see if we can stop the hurt
And rebuild each other up
This Time

chorus
If you pray for me
and I pray for you
Abide in love
Will we bear it through
This hard time
This low ride
Will we see forgiveness
In each other's eyes
This Time
This Time

that's all so far....
