Wrote this song this morning for a friend who is struggling with depression.
lyrics
Sometimes it feels like a windowless room
you can't get out and you can't see through
the dark and the walls press in on you
until you're curled up in a corner
(chorus)
I wanna show you to the light
I wanna tell you it's all right
let me be your wrecking ball tonight
and I'll break through the walls
Sometimes you feel like a prisoner here
doing hard time 'til you disapear
the doubt and the shame whisper in your ear
you feel like you're forgotten
(chorus)
It's so hard when you're so weak
to stand up apon you feet
but you try to reach for me
and I promise I won't leave
Until you feel the sun on your face
until you're walking out of this place
if you stumble then I...I will embrace
you before you fall
Introspective, homespun folk tunes from John Donne that feel informed by the sugary bleakness of '80s and '90s indie pop. Bandcamp New & Notable Aug 1, 2023
