This song has been a bear to try to wrestle under control and its journey began probably coupla years ago...Along the way,it hasn't helped that I've often lost focus as to what I'm trying to say with the song(the voice),Sarah helped in the late innings by throwing me some curve balls...but its about depression & its worst possible result and I knew it had to be handled the right way(hopefully I balanced it ok)..I've had bouts myself with the big D and have friends who have thought of ending the pain,so this one is for them..PLEASE DON"T GIVE UP...u are loved and the world would be a much worse and less interesting place without u..;)--ts

Lyrics:T.S. & Sarah Scott
1) How many ways can I describe a sunset with different adjectives?
I have a human need for you to hear…
More and more I tire of pushing that boulder up that hill
To sadly watch it roll back down again…
Chorus:
It’s hard to breathe under heavy weight
Some believe it helps to pray
I need something real that I can touch
Or maybe for a moment just feel loved enough
Wish I could learn which small
reasons we start to fall
Accepting the struggle is what keeps us alive
What happens once we know
we’ve gone far as we can go
But still you’re not ready yet to lie down and give up the fight
….at least not on this night
2) I could pick a favorite LP and gently drop the needle down
And write a note to whom it may not concern
Then smile, knowing I could take the road that would see me through
To find out what things await behind the sun…
3) Sensing my time is growing short and I’ve left so many deeds undone
Not sure I’m chasing life or running from…
No souls are free from being hurt or bruised by indifference raining down
Eyes closed, hoping to withstand the storm
Repeat chorus
