about

Write a song that is in, some way, a portrait of an illness. I’m thinking of something like Jason Isbell’s “Elephant,” but you can approach it any way you’d like.

lyrics

Inside my mind
The voices are calling, but I don't wanna go
And every time
The engine's stalling, I just don't wanna know
The world spins round & round
Nothing left to show
Nothing left to show

I can't slow down
The race has started and I can't fall behind
Slip out of town
There's a sinking feeling that gets me every time
When the day is done, the race is run
I learn that I can fly
I learn that I can fly

And when I wake up
I learn that I can be enough
To try to show the world that
I won't stay on my knees
And if I fall down
You know that I won't stick around
I'll figure out what I'm about
I'll finally find I'm free

When I feel safe
I know that I should make another choice
Another way
Another route to move beyond the noise
The world spins upside down
I'll sing my ode to joy
I'll sing my ode to joy

And when I wake up
I learn that I can be enough
To try to show the world that
I won't stay on my knees
And if I fall down
You know that I won't stick around
I'll figure out what I'm about
I'll finally find I'm free

Inside my mind
The voices are calling, but I don't wanna go
