Working 6 days a week
can barely pay my bills,
Can’t even fall asleep
w/o taking all these pills,
Can’t remember the last time
i felt high spirited,
I just take your emotion
and i mirror it,
So if you see me smiling
i’m only showing teeth,
On the inside
there’s a constant state of grief,
Been dealing with death and loss
for as long as you’ve been alive,
My life’s been on a downhill spiral
since my dad died,
I’m convinced i’’ve been cursed,
since the day of my birth
been stuck in reverse,
every single day is worse
than the day prior,
People ask if i'm ok
i say 'yes' but i'm a **** liar,
Ain’t no sunshine where i stay,
these clouds that follow me
are always gray,
I have no clue
the last time these skies were blue,
I'll live in solitude
until my soul decides to fly the coop

this is my blues song
