HARVEY'S P.O.V.

Washington D.C.

I'm still clinically depressed for just over a year, but I am making a bit of progress lately I am still writing sad sounding songs, the recent one that I've wrote called Trapdoor; I have been grateful for the support I've been getting for my mild depression and I am also thinking that I can beat this and get back my normal life that I had before it all came crashing down. I have just recently turned 40! Welcome to the early 40s, this will probably be a whirlwind and in ten years time I will be 50!! Please, no I don't want to get any older, John would be turning the same age as me in three months and LJ would be 37 if they were still with me.

He wakes up early today

Throws on a mask that will alter his face

Nobody knows his real name

But now he just uses one he saw on a grave

And he pretends that he's okay, but you should see, oh

Him in bed late at night, he's petrified

Take me out, and finish this waste of a life

Everyone gather around for a show

Watch as this man disappears as we know

Do me a favour and try to ignore

As you watch him fall through a bleeding trapdoor

He thinks that faith might be dead

Nothing kills a man faster that his own head

He used to see dreams at night

But now he's just watching the backs of his eyes

He pretends that he's okay, but you should see

Him in bed late at night, he's petrified

Take me out, and finish this waste of a life

Everyone gather around for a show

Watch as this man disappears as we know

Do me a favour and try ignore

When you watch him fall through a bleeding trapdoor

'Cause nobody knows he's alive.
