Father Time

The clock is ticking time keeps moving on but I'm
Sitting singing all my same old songs
About depression and I swear this house gets darker every day
Well Father Time why don't you bother someone else?
Don't need your depressing suicidal thoughts
I've got good friends to help move life along
When it's hard to wake up and face a brand new day
Usually I'd have to head out of town
To feel the way that I do now but somehow
You've helped me see life can be okay

So move over misanthropic lies
I'm replacing you with much stronger ties
To the friends helping me become a much better man
These self-destructive tendencies I hate
Have got no ground to stand on between you and I
It's no longer worth the pain to try and fight
All the people helping me become the best that I can

Maybe it's the weather clearing now
Or the chemicals in my brain balancing themselves out
But I'd like to place the thanks
On the friends by my side
I'd like to place the thanks on those
Who never gave up when I felt like I should die
Convinced me life was worth a second
Try as it might the world ain't got the best of me
I won't go out without punching and kicking
And supporting hands from my friends all around
