I'm Only Human

Morning Blues

I've got those good ole morning blues

The kind that comes without any clues

I just woke up feeling really sad

And for that, I'm actually pretty mad

I try so hard to be happy, to smile

But it never seems to last, not even for a while

All these bad thoughts keep going through my head

One of these days, I swear I'll be dead

Yet at the same time, I don't wanna die

Which leaves me asking the constant question of "Why?"

I'm happy with him, but is that really only

The one time that I don't feel lonely?

I cry in my room, almost every night

I can't even sleep without some kind of light

Because I fear the darkness, and what it can do

God, I hope it'll never affect you

The darkness is strong, it'll knock you down

It'll steal everything you have, including your crown

The crown of false happiness you wear every day

The crown you wear so you don't have to say

"I just want someone to love and hold me!"

It creates an illusion that everyone will see

It's kind of like a mask that you can hide behind

One that makes everyone seem so nice and kind

But think about how many people wear that crown

To hide themselves, to hide that small frown

The darkness is an epidemic, a growing sick

And don't think for one second that it won't give you a kick

These morning blues, well, they really aren't helping

And at this point I'm crying, I'm yelping

But for now, I'll just wear my crown

So you'll never have to see me frown
