Away from the Sun

The dark times come and the dark times go. I try to stay upbeat. But you know there's not much looking good out there - and sometimes it's so dark inside, I don't know if I can keep breathing. So I'm on the treadmill (physical activity is supposed to help. Right.) And this song comes on the old ipod, and I realize I'm not the only one who feels alone in the dark... Away from the Sun by 3 Doors Down.

It's down to this
I've got to make this life make sense
Can anyone tell what I've done
I miss the life
I miss the colours of the world
Can anyone tell where I am

'Cause now again I've found myself
So far down, away from the sun
That shines into the darkest place
I'm so far down, away from the sun again
Away from the sun again

I'm over this
I'm tired of living in the dark
Can anyone see me down here
The feeling's gone
There's nothing left to lift me up
Back into the world I know

And now again I've found myself
So far down, away from the sun
That shines into the darkest place
I'm so far down, away from the sun
That shines to light the way for me
To find my way back into the arms
That care about the ones like me
I'm so far down, away from the sun again

It's down to this
I've got to make this life make sense
And now I can't tell what I've done

And now again I've found myself
So far down, away from the sun
That shines to light the way for me

'Cause now again I've found myself
So far down, away from the sun
That shines into the darkest place
I'm so far down, away from the sun
That shines to light the way for me
To find my way back into the arms
That care about the ones like me
I'm so far down, away from the sun again

Oh no...
Yeah...
I'm gone

So a song connects me back to the world. For now. How about you?

I've been feeling this way too :( Therefore I plan to be at group on Tuesday, but I may be late because I will be coming back from Seattle....
