intro 00:17
“When sorrow over takes you  Start expressing yourself in terms of joy Oh course when you start acting  joyously when the people around you know your heart is burdened with sorrow you may seem ridiculous but never mind what the other fella thinks it’s what you think that counts” Clip from Napoleon Hill Think and Grow Rich.

That sinking feeling is back Feels like a panic attack  The day grows fearfully dark   monsters dance in my mind I’m on a rapid decline Everyone says you will be just fine  My Depression  I won’t give in to you My Aggression  I want to feel something true  My Suppression  I bury it all inside  My Confession No longer hide  pulled in every direction  Paint a smile for deflection  just something you must do  tired of feeling incomplete  I won’t except defeat  emptiness fills with despair MY Depression  I won’t give in to you MY Aggression I’m tired of feeling Blue  MY Suppression  I bury it all deep inside  MY Confession   No longer hide  (Mantra: my mind is my temple I will expel hate and receive love)  say a mantra in my head   the positivity is feed  won’t let this depression take me out  No matter how loud it shouts  Without a  doubt  Like a movie played on repeat  I can feel my heart still beat  I won’t give in  My Depression  I won’t give in to you My Aggression I’m Tired of feeling Blue  My Suppression  I bury it all deep inside  My Confession  I No longer want to hide

shut it down 01:53
The World I thought I knew has started falling through And now my heart and mind is at odds I’d start to second guess at why my mind’s a mess  And so I placed the blame on myself Depression deep inside  Disillusioned by the pain in my life And so I tell myself… Keep your head above The world is so much more You are modeled in the image of Hope The lies you feel inside The words that feed your mind Shut it down and lift your head up high You are More Than Enough  You are Needed and You are Loved. Never again will I attempt to take my Life I found the help I need to survive The pain I feel and know  I’ve used to build and grow Mental health is real and alive It’s not alright to hide Cause everybody has a struggle inside  Keep your head above The world is so much more You are modeled in the image of Hope The lies you feel inside The words that feed your mind Shut it down and lift your head up high You are More Than Enough,  You are Needed and You are Loved Oh God I promise I won’t try and take my life again  because I’m more than enough

These shackles keep me in prison  I must change my mental condition  My skin is sunken and gray Can’t let my life slip away Looking to a brighter day  Must keep that PMA  *Bury me with my fear My mind is finally clear  It’s up to me to stay the path Or face the aftermath   Sobriety hold me close  It’s what I need the most   I won’t be held down  In this bottle I won’t drown  Straight edge hardcore saved my life I do not take it light  A life pure - A Life renewed  It’s about the positive attitude  *Bury me with my fear My mind is finally clear  It’s up to me to stay the path Or face the aftermath    I won’t hold myself down  My sorrows I won’t drown This place is not my home No longer afraid of the unknown

Some folks are born made to wave the flag Hoo, they're red, white and blue And when the band plays "Hail to the chief" Ooh, they point the cannon at you, Lord It ain't me, it ain't me I ain't no senator's son, son It ain't me, it ain't me I ain't no furtunate one, no Some folks are born silver spoon in hand Lord, don't they help themselves, Lord? But when the taxman come to the door Lord, the house lookin' like a rummage sale, yeah It ain't me, it ain't me I ain't no millionaire's son, no, no It ain't me, it ain't me I ain't no fortunate one, no Yeah-yeah, some folks inherit star-spangled eyes Hoo, they send you down to war, Lord And when you ask 'em, "How much should we give?" Hoo, they only answer, "More, more, more, more" It ain't me, it ain't me I ain't no military son, son, Lord It ain't me, it ain't me I ain't no fortunate one, one It ain't me, it ain't me I ain't no fortunate one, no, no, no It ain't me, it ain't me I ain't no fortunate son, no, no, no It ain't me, it ain't me...

Let’s do it!  What is the point of life? Is it just to die  I can’t stand to watch my loved ones cry  As The body separates from the soul I realize I’m not in control  …and maybe I never was  Who will ever know  Fear not for death will come for us one by one  We are all destined for the same outcome  to the dirt we must return  We’ve lived and we’ve learned  The circle of life spins  A new existence  begins Point me in the right direction when I die For this body I no longer occupy Place gold coins over my eyes  For all my wrongs I do apologize  Point me in the right direction when it’s my last breath  I pray I lived my very best until my death  Fear not for death will come for us one by one  We are all destined for the same outcome  to the dirt we  return  We’ve lived and we’ve learned  The circle of life spins  A new existence  begins

I remember your face like it was yesterday-(took) the life from your body The doctors called it “Tissue”  we both know it was our baby We turned pale and our hearts broke in half  This is not a political track  I’m just spittin’ the facts  I’m Truly thankful for a 2nd chance   I don’t deserve it at first glance  I pray I’m the best father I can be  I’m Truly thankful for a 2nd chance   I don’t deserve it at first glance  My Son will finally set me free  Forgive me for the pain I’ve caused  and the joy I’ve robbed  I spent a lot of time living for myself  I’m thankful to be sober and working on my mental health  Please help me to put my son first  I need to break this curse  I’m Truly thankful for a 2nd chance  I don’t deserve it at first glance  I pray I’m the best father I can be  I’m Truly thankful for a 2nd chance  I don’t deserve it at first glance  My Son will finally set me free  I’m far from perfect and that’s the truth  I’ve gotten better in my older age  I was terrible in my youth  I deserve death yet I embrace life  I’m so incredibly blessed for my child and wife  I’m Truly thankful for a 2nd chance  I don’t deserve it at first glance  I pray I’m the best father I can be  I’m Truly thankful for a 2nd chance  I don’t deserve it at first glance  My Son will finally set me free

This is a lullaby I sing to my son Otto when he is upset and will not sleep. One day I just hit record on my tape player so I could record it and play it for him even when I left the room. He has a sound machine that makes rain noises. Our recording engineer later replaced the rain sounds when mixing so it came up in the mix more. The lullaby holds a place in my heart and thought I’d share it with you. It might not translate to everyone but this is where I’m at in life. My Son is my everything to me.  Until that day when the Lord takes me home I will do my everything to be his everything.  -Wiley Willis
