God don't you think we should talk?
I'm having trouble knowing if you're really listening at all
If there's a hell you might as well mark a spot for my soul
If there's a god I'm sorry for I won't pass the gates
I'm not quite sure if I deserve to wake up
I want to sleep forever if it means never looking in the mirror

Son, this is not a mountain that I've put before you to fall from
This is but a small peak that I need you to overcome

I didn't give light to this Earth just to watch you fall to the dark

I'm so sick of feeling like I am
A hollow shell of the one that I know so well
We all seem to show our true colors mean the most
Only when we're seconds from a grave unmarked

If you listen for my voice, it will echo for centuries
Everything beneath your feet the colors to make the black and white fade
I exist in all you see

I didn't give light to this Earth just to watch you fall

I'm so sick of feeling like I am
A hollow shell of the one that I know so well
We all seem to show our true colors mean the most
Only when we're seconds from a grave unmarked

I need someone to see
The difference between who I am and who I want to be
Oh my god, build me as I'm meant to be

Shattered son in the sea
Know that where you sink
Is temporary
Cause you'll rise and you'll see
When you pass what you find
From the depths of your grave
Will end your suffering

Carry the cross until your bones break
It's never too late to change

Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
