Hope.
This is a song that I wrote when I was just beginning to emerge from a particularly debilitating, months-long depression. For me, this was the first one that lasted this long and was this severe.
Today I looked outside my window
And let the light come streaming in.
I realized that I'd forgotten
How it felt upon my skin.
So I decided to take a walk
To pretend that I was really me.
Like I had never simply checked out,
And now I needed to rejoin society.
The wind was biting on my face
And I realized somehow the seasons had changed.
I didn't know how much time had passed
Or how to explain how it had gone both so slow and so fast.
I made my way back home
I felt so drained just from being in the world.
I picked up my guitar
And for the first time in a while a piece of me unfurled.
