Without going into too much detail, I wrote this during a low moment as a way to describe my feelings and experience with mental illness, especially the whiplash between good days and bad days.
Lyrics:
I’ve given up the need to know the “when”
Hope likes to come and go like fickle friends.
Say that I’m fine again but
We both know I’m lying, yeah
Cause I’m in bed still crying;
I promise I’m still trying.
Pull back the curtains
Let the light of the sun in
Though the path feels uncertain
There’s no choice but to start again.
I take one step into the night
Then look back and fall behind.
I go on like the tide;
I crash forward and then subside
But I still try.
You see the sadness, I say “it will pass.”
But in its absence joy, too, rarely lasts. (Repeat chorus)
