Recovery Lyrics

Oh man, it's been so long
Living out the sorrows that I put in these songs
And if you've listened before you'll see
It's always sad, sad stories from me
But I promised myself I would try my best to get better
I'd take shelter from the storm and get out from being trapped under the weather
But that's the thing with rain
It always comes when you're in the wrong place
And you can try to hide from the thunder
But when you hear it, it'll drag you back under
It'll drag you back under

But I can see all the beauty in living
And I can feel all the strength people have
And now I know all the power that's in me
I just need to walk the right path

So I've been looking for an answer
To fix the broken paths in my brain
But then I think about the cancer
That causes others so much pain
And that's when I realize that the human mind
Is so much stronger than I dared to find
I watch the people overcome all the pain
To live another day in hopes that we remember their name
So here's the thing I've learnt
We're so much stronger than the hurt that we feel
And it'll take some time
But if we hold on to hope then in the future we will be just fine
Yeah, we'll be just fine

But I can see all the beauty in living
And I can feel all the strength people have
And now I know all the power that's in me
I just need to walk the right path

So here's the thing when I talk about depression no one understands the point it's that I'm trying to get better and I need
To get these feelings out of me
So when I put them in a song it lets me listen, lets me see that they are small
But I romanticize my fall as if the hardships are a ball and I just wanna see me drop it all
Well, not again cause I've lost too many friends
So I will make it through this struggle and I'll meet you at the end

But I can see all the beauty in living
And I can feel all the strength people have
And now I know all the power that's in me
I just need to walk the right path

And I'll forgive myself
For all the flaws that I've been dealt
Because perfections found in pieces of art
That often look like they're falling apart
And over time things weaken
And that can make us anxious
But maybe life's just an oil painting
And I've got scratches on my canvas
And If my life's just an oil painting
I'll learn to love all the scratches on my canvas

So when I was just a child
Well I was scared of getting lost
I made connections with the people I loved
And losing them was what I feared the most
But my mother always said if I ever choose to roam
(?)
And if I lose my path off the beaten track
I need to follow the stars and I'll find my way back
Cause I proved to myself through work and art, my health
I can overcome my struggle with just a little bit of help
