Recovery

Oh man it's been so long Living out the sorrows that I put in these songs And if you've listened before you'll see It's always sad, sad stories from me But I promised myself, I would try my best to get better I'd take shelter from the storm and get out From being trapped under the weather But that's the thing with rain It always comes when you're in the wrong place And you can try to hide from the thunder But when you hear it it'll drag you back under It'll drag you back under But I can see all the beauty in living And I can feel all the strength people have And now I know all the power that's in me I just need to walk the right path So I've been looking for an answer To fix the broken paths in my brain But then I think about the cancer That causes others so much pain And that's when I realize that the human mind is so much stronger than I dared to find I watch the people overcome all the pain To live another day in hope that we remember their name So here's the thing I've learnt We're so much stronger than the hurt that we feel And it'll take some time but if we hold on to hope then in the future we will be just fine Yeah we'll be just fine But I can see all the beauty in living And I can feel all the strength people have And now I know all the power that's in me I just need to walk the right path So here's the thing when I talk about depression no one understands the point It's that I'm trying to get better and I need To get the feelings out of me, so when I put them in a song it lets me listen Let's me see that they are small But I romanticise my fall as if the hardships are a ball and I just wanna see me drop it all Well not again 'cause I've lost too many friends so I will make it through this struggle And I'll meet you at the end But I can see all the beauty in living And I can feel all the strength people have And now I know all the power that's in me I just need to walk the right path And I'll forgive myself For all the flaws that I've been dealt Because perfections found in pieces of art That often look like their falling apart And over time things weaken And that can make us anxious But maybe life's just an oil painting And I've got scratches on my canvas And if my life's just an oil painting I'll learn to love all the scratches on my canvas So when I was just a child Well I was scared of getting lost I made connections with the people I loved And losing them was what I feared the most But my mother always said If I ever choose to roam There's a group of stars that light Right above our family home And if I lose my path off the beaten track I need to follow the stars and I'll find my way back Cause I proved to myself through work and art, my health I can overcome my struggle with just a little bit of help
