[Verse One:]
Too many days
I've been in this sad state
Only a matter of time until a man breaks
Pieces of the puzzle, lying on a table
Questioning connection, don't know if we're able
This once was stable, now it's like a struggle
Good days and bad, wonder will it pass
But, if I put it in the past, that's nothing but acting
All good for the moment, afraid of the reaction

Started as a fairytale
Now it's ending in a nightmare
Wishing I could say that all is well
But all I see is a bright scare

And I could play the part
Of doing what I feel, being easy on the heart
But not without someone hurting in the end

Slowly

But I'm feeling like it's
Too easy to hurt, too hard to save
All around it's dark; I'm trapped in a cave
That seems to be getting darker, and I'm just getting shorter
Officially diagnosed, depressive disorder
Time came to a block; mind came to a cease
I'm paying the same amount of struggle apiece
I'm calling for help, don't get a reply
Sinking in my skin as the days go by
And I drown

[Verse Two:]
Too many days gone, cause I let them go
Once sat on the top, now I'm sitting below
Wishing I was better, I can't even think
I'm stuck in a place feeling like a missing link
If you've been ever weighed, down, taken, a steal
Then this here's a connection, cause you know how I feel
Too hard to deal with all these restrained talents
Cause standing in the way is the chemical imbalance

Started as a fairytale
Now it's ending in a nightmare
Wishing I could say that all is well
But all I see is a bright scare

Doesn't help that I'm inanimate
Cause constantly I'm feeling so inadequate
Which only hurts me in the end

Slowly

And I'm Drowning Again

[End Verse:]
Too many days, feeling desolate
Never meant to fight until the death of it
It's not fair to attack what's uncontrollable
Cause it leaves you in the back and inconsolable
I couldn't make it if I tried to
Feeling useless, so I'm sinking in
Eye level with the ground
Desperate in depression and I'm down

    You're absolutely right. It's not professional...... That's because it was my second song that I ever recorded. It wasn't about the quality at that point. I was suffering from a bit of depression, and wanted to tell my story. Thank you for your comment.

    Keep doing your thang! There are a lot of mainstream "professionals" out there whose lyrics are empty. I would rather hear a person that is real - sharing their experience than a professional track that's "stale!!!!!" Keep at it!
