Sometimes in the morning I am petrified and can't move
Awake, but cannot open my eyes.
And the weight is crushing down on my lungs,
I know I can't breathe
And hope someone will save me this time.
And your mother's still calling you insane and high
Swearing it's different this time
And you tell her to give in to the demons that possess her
And that god never blessed her insides
Then you hang up the phone
And feel badly for upsetting things
Crawl back in to bed to dream of a time
When your heart was open wide
And you loved things just because
Like the sick and the dying.
And sometimes when you're on
You're really fucking on
And your friends they sing along and they love you.
But the lows are so extreme
That the good seems fucking cheap
And it teases you for weeks in its absence.
But you'll fight and you'll make it through
You'll fake it if you have to
And you'll show up to work with a smile.
You'll be better and you'll be smarter
And more grown up and a better daughter or son
And a real good friend.
And you'll be awake, you'll be alert
You'll be positive though it hurts
And you'll laugh and embrace all your friends
And you'll be a real good listener
You'll be honest, you'll be brave
You'll be handsome and you'll be beautiful.
You'll be happy.
Your ship may be coming in
You're weak but not giving in
To the cries and the wails of the valley below
And your ship may be coming in
You're weak but not giving in
And you'll fight it, you'll go out fighting all of them.
