about

This is a song about how I'm currently doing.

"And I saw the real sun today
Not the metaphor for suicidal ways
I welcome with a warm embrace
This sunshine is okay"
^ This line is in reference to The Sun Grew On Me (ow) from my ow album. (see below)

"The sun is so sharp
It burns in my mind
Till it lurks in the dark"
^ This line in The Sun Grew On Me was in reference to how I would stare at this one watermelon knife and burn the image into my mind until I couldn't stop thinking about it throughout my day even if I wasn't looking at it.

lyrics

I went through the ringer
I came out much bigger
With a heart taped together
But it might not last forever
But it's sticking pretty good right now
I think I've got this figured out
I went through the ringer
And I came out much bigger

I have conquered my depression
I no longer have obsession
With death and dying and descending
Into hell, man I thought that was an ending

I'm still here and l am kicking
In the air but doing so gently
Not while having a mental breakdown
Not kicking due to freakouts

I'm enjoying the wind through the window
And the cool cool air of west virginia
And I saw the real sun today
Not the metaphor for suicidal ways
I welcome with a warm embrace
This sunshine is okay

I'm still here and l am kicking
In the air but doing so gently
Not while having a mental breakdown
Not kicking due to freakouts
