Here's another one of my lyrics from years ago.

FADE OFF INTO THE BLUE

(verse 1)
I’ve lived a short life,
for which my tears have gone dry.
A state of mental confusion,
from a mother and father.
Twisted lies, twisted truth,
which to believe, which to distrust.

(chorus)
Will I shine like the sun,
and glow with self loving esteem?
Or shall i fade off into the blue,
with a mind that’s bashed by depression?

(verse 2)
A man that’s lost on a path,
that was created by a child.
What was it that I dreamed?
Was it lost in days of yesteryear.
Did daddy do what mother said he did,
and did mommy suffer the way she claimed?

(chorus)
Will I shine like the sun,
and glow with self loving esteem?
Or shall i fade off into the blue,
with a mind that’s bashed by depression?

(verse 3)
When I turn old and gray,
will my friends and family stay?
Will I abuse my wife with fists?
Could I end up beating my kids verbally?
Can I conquer the sickness,
or will it just be a fantasy?

(chorus)
Will I shine like the sun,
and glow with self loving esteem?
Or shall i fade off into the blue,
with a mind that’s bashed by depression?
