I think sometimes all you need is to hear someone else say the same thing that you're going through to realize that you're not alone. I try to put some sense of hope into the songs, into whatever the situation is so that it's not just dirt, drudgery and a life of misery.
Water is very forgiving. Everything lifts in water
Oh darkness, I feel like letting go.
The night is my companion, and solitude my guide.
I have fallen, I have sunk so low. I have messed up, better I should know.
I'm so tired, but I can't sleep. Standing on the edge of something much too deep.
