Slip Away

I know your life's messed up,
like everything pulled you when you trying to go up
not even your family can help you to turn things up
but for the last time, please hold up
when everything's darkness, and you feel so alone
when the rain doesn't stop, and you can't make it home
all felt lost, you just want to run
it can't rain forever, just wait for the sun
but there's something I've learned through the wisdom of age,
the Truth about our lives, not words that put you on the edge
and that is no matter what path that you and I will take,
in the very end, surviving is the goal we'll make
the journey to wellness takes time and I know it's long,
and those that get well, are extremely fucking strong.
for depression can kill, but congratulation you survived.
your goal to recover has kept you alive.
when everything's darkness, and you feel so alone
when the rain doesn't stop, and you can't make it home
all felt lost, you just want to run
it can't rain forever, just wait for the sun
when family is pain, friends can't be found
you just want to scream, but you can't find the sound
when it's all your fault, and you feel like you're done
it can't rain forever, just wait for the sun
just wait for the sun
can life get better than it was before?
will you realize your dreams and improve your score?
will people still remember your name
or will they forget you because they are ashamed?
life in recovery may not be the same
the rules may have changed in this brand new game
you can pick the pieces and make a new start
and courage and hope to keep you from falling apart
the world all around you seems different and changed
things that once in your hands now seemed out of range
but you can recapture your life and fulfill
the dreams that were lost when you took ill
the storm always passes
it won't last forever
the rain always stops and gives way to good weather
the brightest and warmest of days still to come
please wait for the sun
the sunshine will come
people who need you, people who love you
can warm your soul like the sunshine above you.
when everything's darkness, and you feel so alone
when the rain doesn't stop, and you can't make it home
all felt lost, you just want to run
it can't rain forever, just wait for the sun
when family is pain, friends can't be found
you just want to scream, but you can't find the sound
when it's all your fault, and you feel like you're done
it can't rain forever, just wait for the sun
for most of my life, I truly believed
i was here to help somebody else
but now it's so clear it was just an excuse
to avoid living life for myself
so the time has now come to conquer my fears
and to stand up and face a new day
let the hurts of my past wash away with my tears
and stop letting my life
