A Song For A Friend

Living through feelings no single way
Numbed by the punches you get in the fray
The darker feelings outweigh the good
So you do what you need to, but not what you should
Everyone seems to be higher than you
So you take a step up, 'cause what else can you do?

Chorus:
Feel yourself fall
Who could have known
That to fly so high
You would have to face
The opposite side?
You try to get better and stronger and happier with yourself
You strain with your last thought for the unreachable star
Who knew that to rise to high
you'd fall so far?

Nothing is working; you're less than before
They hands you a hot coal and you can't let go
Tears fall without effort yet deny you relief
It's okay for a moment, but the time is too brief
Sadness runs through your veins but feels like glass shards
You can't play the game if they won't give you the cards
Your personal Richter scale is at about ten
The feeling's euphoric up until when you
Chorus
