So as any normal person would do. I went back to an old tactic that once worked for me in a fit of depression. I drank, listened to some heady music then wrote a song. I chose Susan's challenge and wrote a song about Personal and Mental Space and breaking away from it.
lyrics
lay me down in sheets of white
tell me everything will be alright
add subtract and multiply
I've never been that good
at mathematics when I was alone
It's all beyond me
and you're getting close to me now
strange as it may be I left some space
for you today
So you met your match
I'm sorry but the elephants and lions inside
will come attack you now
Baby its a shame
Valentines is coming and there's no one left
to play your game
Its hurts me still sometimes
and you're getting close to me now
strange as it may be I left some space
for you today
My only wrongs seem right
heaven in my brain God in my sight
Where do we go
and you're getting close to me now
strange as it may be I left some space
for you today
Still that train runs circles in your head
Telling tales of fear and loneliness
And I think I still believe in god
I still believe in everything you're not
When the time is right we'll play pretend
and then I swear I'll learn my mathematics again
