about

About this track:
Originally, I wrote this song to put into words, the way I was feeling when in the darkest phase of my battle with depression, stress & anxiety. I really did consider suicide as a viable alternative and it was this that really led me to seek professional help.

It is the song that kick started the album although, when I was writing it, I hadn't thought of writing an album.

Lyrics
I Sometimes Wish I Was Dead

Suicidal thoughts running through my head
I sometimes feel I'd be better off dead
No more pain, no more worrying,
No more having to play the game.

I wonder if the face in the mirror is the person you see
When you pass me by, what do you think?
On the outside, I smile and say: "Everything's fine".
But the darkness inside eats my soul
and I feel, there's no place to hide, except in my head
I sometimes wish I was dead

Pretending that I'm fine, howling on the inside
Struggling just to get through, an ordinary day
Sick of people saying: "You'll be fine, don't worry."
No control at all of emotions running high

Lock myself away, inside my head, secluded
Keep the outside world at bay
Family and friends, think that I'm not caring
but they can't see what's going on in my brain
