"Here it is... Darkness closes in They say 'be happy' Where do I begin? I guess therapy But how will that end? Will it work? Can I go forever? Will they make me stop? Zoloft, lexapro, seratonin reuptakes Here take these And put on a happy face Am I missing something? Is this how life should be? Taking drugs for life Cause I don't feel happy Photographers say 'smile' I mean I can But I'm in denial I'm simply not a fan Prison, jail Life behind bars That's depression's tale Everything dim, even the stars Every day is halloween Always wearing a mask Me, looking so pristine Such a tiring task But then... The light shown through He said 'you're mine' I belong to you? But I don't shine 'I will not leave you, never' He is working in me His love endures forever I was blind but now I see Devotions, fellowship, constant prayer 'Come to me, come just as you are' Looking back, He was ALWAYS there He never let me stray too far I WAS missing something NOW this is how life should be My heart is full and I sing He was and is and always will be there for me No longer a fake smile I know I can No more denial I am forever a fan Church, Heaven Life AFTER the cross Jesus won Sin and darknes lost Everyday is new Smilin', just 'cause Every word true Love. Does.
