lyrics

oh what did I do?
what a mistake to make
I nearly lost it all
lost you all
in the wake

I could not bear what became too much
empathy, failure, shame and such a future
that may or may not come

they ask me why
they hold my hand
my words fail, belittle
I realise no one can understand
or ever will

nothing has changed
the darkness remains
if stopping my heart
is what will stop the pain
can I find strength
to begin again?

how could you know?

life is not a breeze
not a walk in the park
everyone is telling me
to get out the dark, I know

how could you know?

don't blame yourselves
it's nobodys fault
forgive me, believe me
when I say I love you all

how could you know?

and I watched as I popped the pills
like I was watching a stranger
just giving up
had enough
just giving up now

T.G.I.
by The Great Insanity

Its bold and ambitous and OTT. An electronic, vocal symphonic, pop monster of an album. I bet you have heard nothing like it. AgedChoirBoy
