The sun is shining bright outside
And somehow I'm lost in the dark
I have spiders in my head
I'm on the edge
I've been there a few times before
When things used to be sad and sore
And here I stand again today
I hear that voice again
that whispers in my ear
And with a grin it says
"just take my hand and follow me"
But winding down is not an option
I can't comply to this emotion
Take my picture
I'll smile and hide the blue melancholy
Catch my laughter
And let's pretend it's real enough to forget
There are some days when everything
feels like I'm hopelessly trying
to climb an impassable mountain
and I stand still
Things that usually joy my heart
like dedicating to my art
have the most bittersweet taste
I sit and contemplate
the sorrow that I feel
That voice comes back and says
"stop wasting time and seal the deal"
But winding down is not an option
I can't comply to this conclusion
Take my picture
I'll smile and hide the blue melancholy
Catch my laughter
And let's pretend it's real enough to be
I paint some colors on my mind
To not fall on the other side
Cloud nine just seems so far away
I just need to get through the day
And I will
