A song to raise awareness about the psychosis/mental illness, schizoaffective disorder. It is a very hard and scary illness to cope with, but with knowledge and awareness, we can all pull through.

A song I wrote about a mentally ill person who hates himself and brings himself down constantly; but I personally think he’s the most amazing thing on earth and if he could just see it… he’s so beautiful; so loving…

I wrote this song in about 20 minutes, it's my latest lyric, and it was inspired by listening to Eric Clapton. I really liked the template for the rhyming that they used, something that I haven't done before and that's when the first line and the last line rhymes and the two middle lines rhyme. I'm trying to write differently using different rhyme schemes, and hopefully write something that has no rhymes at all or very few, and has no sense of sequence for lack of a better word. I think when you hear a song you can tell maybe when the rhyme is going to come, and I want to try to do something when you're reading the lyric, and then you're all sudden surprised by the rhyme. This lyric is about a relationship that's coming to an end. Nobody's talking and through all the silence, there's a good chance that this is going to start a huge argument one person knows that they can't do it anymore that they just had it, and they pretty much know what's going on I came up with the chorus just on a whim. I wanted to do something catchy, but not to juvenile. I mean this isn't a nursery rhyme like the one that says pick Up sticks, as I really can't remember it verbatim it was so long ago.

This lyric is about me being in the throes of my addiction. It's what it felt like when I was sitting in my house getting high, with a feeling of desperation, and of hopelessness. I felt like that many times, in fact probably every time I was high, even though I thought I was having fun. At the end it certainly wasn't any fun no matter how hard I tried. I guess I was desperate on both sides of the coin desperate to try to find some some fun or happiness, and also some desperation to find relief. Trying to find fun and happiness and anything that's useful out of using drugs, is an illusion. Basically when you're inside getting high you're just stuck in the four walls of your house, apartment, room whatever. It's self imprisonment. There's no hope, time is there seems like there's no end in sight, and that's when you need to get desperate, and have faith that someone out there cares enough to lead you out of the fire.

I was inspired to write this lyric the other day, because of the terrorist act that happened in New York City on a subway train. It has to do with how accessible guns are in our country, and how they end up in the wrong people's hands. I'm not against the second amendment, but what I am against is getting guns illegally, or not doing the proper background checks. The person that did this the other day, could be very mentally ill, and should be given support way before these things come to fruition. You definitely was a very angry, and deranged person, but who knows what demons he was fighting. No I'm not excusing the act at all, and he should be prosecuted to the fullest extent, or sent to a mental facility for the rest of his life. But the fact that guns are so easily accessible, will continue to keep these mass shootings happening.
