lyrics

How do I, can I start again, after losing so much time?
Am I resilient enough, or will I lose my mind?

It's like being woken up by smoke alarms at 3:45 in the morning, breaking your slumber for a time.

It just doesn't seem right to be up so early.
It just doesn't seem right to go back to bed
with so little time left. There's so little time left.

Depression didn't get me 'til my 30s, and a decade long battle ensued,
but when I parted the grey clouds and got to see the world out loud again, suffice to say, it sullied my mood,

like being woken up by smoke alarms while people keep sleeping around me - it just confounds the mind.

It just doesn't seem right to give up so early.
It just doesn't seem right to stay in bed
with so little time left. There's so little time left.
