The Cold

(Verse 1)

Someone must have opened a window
Inside of my brain
Because it's freezing cold
I must be going insane

I'm shivering to death
Inside this very mind
Sitting in the dark
Alone and out of my mind

(Chorus)

Can someone please
Close the window
I'm going to fall apart
I need something
To turn me around
To set fire to my heart

(Verse 2)

Something must have started this
I'm curled into a ball
Shaking from the cold
That isn't there at all

Questions flowing through the open
Window in my head
If this continues
I'll be wishing I was dead

(Chorus)

Can someone please
Close the window
I'm going to fall apart
I need something
To turn me around
To set fire to my heart

(Verse 3)

I'll close my eyes and try to stop
The cold from seeping in
But if I can't succeed
I'll try to not give in

Who can fight the battle for me
Who could fight and win
There has to be someone
Who can stop the cold from getting in

(Chorus)

Can someone please
Close the window
I'm going to fall apart
I need something
To turn me around
To set fire to my heart

So basically, sometimes I feel really sucky (is that a word? It wanted to autocorrect to "ducky") and then I end up thinking of a metaphor, comparison, or maybe just a phrase that inspires a song. Then I write the song and it actually helps a little. So maybe the next time you feel sucky write a song or a paragraph or a rant about it. It's called catharsis (the purging of emotions or relieving emotional tensions especially through certain kinds of art, as tragedy or music). :)
