Sing Me a Song

Sing me a sad song. 

Fill it with heartbreak against a 
thunderstorm and a howling wind. 

Tell me of one of love's great tragedies for 
all the ages. Don't spare a tear when so 
many were shed. Curse the spirit or the 
soul. There's darkness in these depths. 

Such a sad sad song is such a strangely 
beautiful tune. Filled with anger and rage 
and a genuine emotion. Paint me a picture 
that I won't soon forget. 

I feel the hurt and the pain but I can't look 
away. 

Let the rain never stop until it washes 
away the sorrow. 

Sing me a sad song. 

One with no hope or escape.

Four walls and no door. Smash it all into a 
million pieces on the floor. 

Such a sad song.

Strong

Somehow, someway, I gotta be strong. 

In the whirlwind of life, I gotta dig my feet 
in deep. In the quicksand of circumstance I 
gotta hold on tight to whatever keeps me 
higher than I am. 

Weight of the world so heavy on my 
shoulders my whole body begins to feel 
weightless. 

Question my very existence, I start to feel 
faithless. 

The world around me is not real. But for 
the pain I vouch. Is this what its all really 
about?

No. NO! It can't be. 

There has to be more. 

Hope springs, but this season passes too 
and we're right back where we started at. 

Good times, happy days, I've never seen 
'em. Never met them before a day in my 
life. But someone told me once that it was 
nice there. I close my eyes and can't help 
but to imagine myself in that place. 

The land of no trap doors where you can't 
make a wrong turn.

Then its time to wake up. 

Over and over and over and over again in 
this cycle of life. Stop this ride. One more 
go around and I might not make it. 
Somehow, someway, I gotta be strong. 

In the whirlwind of life, I gotta dig my feet 
in deep. In the quicksand of circumstance I 
gotta hold on tight to whatever keeps me

Higher.
