LOST FRIEND
March 19, 2015
Everyday is gray and miserable
Repeating again and again and again
There's nothing good for her in life now
At least that's what she said
Her dreams have turned to nightmares
And her smile is long gone
Her friends they took a notice
But they waited just too long
Long sleeves and baggy shirts and jeans
Bags underneath her eyes
"Are you okay?" They would ask
And she would say "I'm fine"
Her eyes they show just deep sorrow
Her tears are shed alone
She kept it hidden from her friends
So the charade went on
She can paint a pretty picture
But this story has a twist
The brush is her razor
And her canvas is her wrist
Her brain is slowly dying
But her heart has been long dead
And the tears come running from her eyes
I see the streaks of red
She was dying but inside
And she was not aware
We did not hear her screams at all
So to her, no one cared
Her demons, buried deep inside
Began to take control
And so they burned from inside
They started with her soul
She can paint a pretty picture
But this story has a twist
The brush is her razor
And her canvas is her wrist
Her brain is slowly dying
But her heart has been long dead
And the tears come running from her eyes
I see the streaks of red
And though we all took notice
She pushed away our help
And though she's sitting next to us
I think we've lost our friend
The tears come running from her eyes
I see the streaks of red
The rain was pouring down
And when she felt she could breathe she was drowning
Down she sank
Until nobody could reach her
She can paint a pretty picture
But this story has a twist
The brush is her razor
And her canvas is her wrist
Her brain is slowly dying
But her heart has been long dead
And the tears come running from her eyes
I see the streaks of red
And though we all took notice
She pushed away our help
And though she's sitting next to us
I think we've lost our friend
The tears come running from her eyes
I see the streaks of red
Hey guys sorry it's been so long I just really haven't been inspired lately, and I haven't been able to make much good work. So this is a song I wrote, for a short self-produced album I'm making titled Friend. This is a song about a lost friend, lost to depression. The album is going to have songs about "YAY FRIENDS!!" and it's also gonna have songs about friendship troubles, like this. Anyway, thanks for reading!! Hope you enjoyed!!
