I wrote this a while back, and I believe it was my personal record for speed mixing- the entire song, from start to finish, took about three hours. It's not my best, but it was very poignant for me, because it was my best attempt at describing a very specific kind of sadness I'd been having- the kind that's kind of like fatigue, but different.
I hope you enjoy it!
lyrics
There’s a certain kind of sadness
Almost like fatigue
It’s strange and it’s crushing and it’s worse than it seems
There’s no help for me
A peculiar sadness
Almost like a sleep
I just can’t cry and I feel like I
Can’t ever be free
Well this is quite a sadness
Piercing down deep
It’s numb and it’s cold and it’s suffocating me
Can’t even count sheep
Just a quizzical sadness
It’s like a disease
It cuts like a knife and drains all life
Until you can’t breathe…
