Surfing on the Waves of Depression - We Are The Union

Every word from you, everything

Is a gift left unwrapped by me

My soul sings in sonnets, but my mouth is sewn shut

I’m the bud who forgot to open up

I could blame music, blame the road

But the truth is my circuits overload

But still every wire, and every vein

Must serve its purpose in the pouring rain

I’ve always been this way-a-a-ay

The garden’s colors eventually fade away

When I get frustrated

Every harmless observation

Gets me

Gets me

Gets me down

In endless television on a permanent vacation all alone

I hold the triple crown

Monday every reason why the birds might sing

In my eyes was a mystery

On Tuesday I sang so loud, that I couldn’t calm down

Like my wings never felt the frozen ground

I’ve always been this way

The songbird’s colors eventually fade to gray

I’m going surfing on the waves of depression

I’m gonna ride like I don’t know how to swim

I don’t need no board, won’t see me no more

'Cause I don’t care if I get back to shore

I’m going surfing on the waves of depression

I want to try but don’t know where to begin

I don’t need no board, won’t see me no more

'Cause I don’t care if I get back to shore

I’m going surfing on the waves of depression

I’m gonna ride like I don’t know how to swim

I don’t need no board, won’t see me no more

'Cause I don’t care if I get back to shore

I’m going surfing on the waves of depression

I want to try but don’t know where to begin

I don’t need no board, won’t see me no more

'Cause I don’t care if I get back to shore
