Tremendous thanks to my good friend Ken Johnson for bringing this track to life with his lyrics and vocals.
lyrics
Lying in Bed, sun shining through the window
takes to much to just get through this
Steel myself for another day
Force this plastic smile to keep the questions at bay
You don't care how I am
So don't pretend you do
The knocking at my door
seems to be getting louder
A search for solace, I've only found peace in silence
Sweetly slipping now, the room is slowly getting darker
I couldn't save myself
But you saw through it all, this darkness tends to gnaw
You saved me from the fall, because you've been through it all.
