depression (7)

Lying awake in bed, writing song lyrics (as you do), and thought this would be an appropriate thread to share this one. Stay safe people.

In a world that’s cold and callous
You can get left behind
When no one shares your heartache
They don’t want to read your mind
Some people say your lonely
Others say your weird
But they’re just on the defensive
Because they’re running from their fears

Chorus:
When you’re down and out
And your back’s against the wall
When no one else is willing
To catch you when you fall
You just take my hand
And I’ll help you through it all
Because I care
Just ask for me my friend
And I’ll be there

In a world where poets and dreamers
Are told their dreams are wrong
The emptiness envelopes you,
You feel you don’t belong.
When the world laughs at your misery
And they don’t want to know your name
Just call for me and I’ll come
To share your laughter and your shame.
