Depression

S itting all alone
W ithout a song n o t even a tu n e
I died in m y sleep yesterday
N eeding to be loved
B ut it w as ju st a dream
Ju st as well, we cannot dwell
B ut dream ing kills th e pain
Think of m e w hen you think of it
T he spoon gets black w ith fire
B orn with desire, we can’t follow
Life’s so boring, seem s so hollow
Swimming in your ocean is so shallow
I ’m so happy w ith w hat god h asn ’t se n t
By th e one, I ’m tru e blue
I ’m trying to se e w hy I ’ve beco m e
So h ard en ed so I felt I should’v e grown
So into th e s tr e e t life of P o rtlan d NW SW
I becam e so tru e
R ealized how m uch I m issed
W hen m y song said m om com e m y way
In stead I ra n away to b e w ith M r. G rubb
M y D onald E dw ard th a t is h e ’s m y m an
M y husband forever th e on e I ’m tru ly B lessed
B ut it was ju st an accident
God will heal if you re p e n t
And my m oney’s h ere, b u t I am sp e n t
Why is th is life so h ard I g u ess
I t’s b ecau se of a sp iritual w arfare
T h e Devil & G od play tu g of w ar

Living in m y m isery
O ne m in u te I w an t th is th e n ex t I w an t th a t
W hen life is full of su rp rise s I feel like a b ra t
Love is like a flying dove
Sw ooping th ro u g h th e fields
T h e m erry-go-round spinning in circles
Love is like a honeycom b
So sw eet w ith stinging b ites
W hen do I g et off
I se e so m any p eo p le live life o r is it a show
Love is like a th o rn y ro se
D elicate and sh arp
Love is like a flying dove,
T h at’s lying on th e ground
W hen do w e play for real h e re w e go
We are all here
