lyrics

How do I remain positive
with doubt controlling me like common sense.
I cower when I should be confiding in friends.
But I don't know if I have the confidence.

Putting yourself back together takes time and I've invested mine.
The manifestation of my depression caught critiquing the Devine.
It's a far cry into a dark sky to shed the smallest bit of light.
It's faulty ply when you've been alone your whole life.

If you make a sound after I've flipped all the lights out,
I'll pout on the couch instead of sorting it out.
If you don't wanna talk, I'll understand, I don't want to talk much either.
But I promise to keep these promises,
not because I'm threatened by your dominance,
but because when I feel utterly anonymous
you make me feel autonomous.

I tend to see the rain and pout
instead of finding new things to complain about.
You heard I asked for this drought
as I sipped foam off of a grainy stout.
