This song was written in the midst of a fairly significant bout of depression. What was amazing about this particular song writing process, is that throughout the day that it took for me to develop my feelings into a song, I moved out of the depression into a feeling of hope. It is quite evident as you listen to the words and hear the mood shift from a deeply depressed affect to a highly energetic, hold-on-for-your-life expression of anger. Though it felt good for me to go through this process,  it was difficult for those that loved me to hear, and therefore know, the intensity of my depression.

I feel like crying
Sometimes I feel like dying
I don't, I don't know why

My world is changing
My thoughts are rearranging
And I don't, I don't know why I cry
No I don't, I don't know why

Fading from white to black
not sure just where I'm at
And I don't, I don't know why

Walking through time alone
Feels like I don't belong
But I don't, I don't know why
I'm just tired and I don't want to try anymore

The fog is all around
It's closing in on me
But I don't, I don't know why

It's hard to reach outside myself
even though I know I need help
'cause I don't, I don't know why I cry
No, I don't, I don't know why
Why I cry
I wanna cry, oh yeah, just cry

Even though I feel like crying
and sometimes I feel like dying
I know there's got to be a better way

So I'm gonna keep holding on
until this feeling's gone
'cause I know tomorrow is a brand new day
and I'm sure there's got to be a better way

I'm gonna hold on 'til this feeling is gone
I'm gonna hold on 'til this feeling is gone
I've got to hold on, hold on, hold on 'til this feeling is gone
I've got to hold on, hold on, hold on until this damn old feeling is gone
