October

[Verse 1]
What do you think
When the people you love begin to sink?
And they’re latching onto the edge
Or feeling on the brink
We’re getting closer
She’s got composure
And then she falls right off this rollercoaster
Seemed like you were doing well
But again you fell
It rings a bell
The way you collapsed
In this relapse
You’re going through hell
I know you know it
No reason to be heroic
Cause’ you can’t do this solo
No need to be alone no
You got us, just put that in your head
We got through this once
Before you stopped taking your meds
We were having fun
We thought this thing was done
But mental illness will always run
It’s a stain in your genes
You try to wash it but it’s never truly clean
So you hide it‚ you don’t want it seen
But that don’t make you you
This mental illness will never define the truth
Of your real value

[Verse 2]
You’re more than just a label
You bring food to the table
You raised your kids‚ put clothes on their back and read them fables
Right now you aren’t stable
So before you can be
Let’s get you help and start fixing your mentality
I wanna do as much as I can
To help you understand
That this is your life
And though you strife
It’s something that you know you can’t ignore
Don’t close the door
Just leave it open and vent some more
I know you’re strong so don’t try to put on this mask to prove it
Cause when it comes down to it‚ we all know that you’ve been through it
So listen listen
Even though it doesn’t glisten
We will never be distant
We’re on a mission
To help you find that little bit of your life you’re missin’

[Verse 3]
We’re here to save you, we’ll never let illness take its course
Your sons, your family‚ even my dad that you divorced
We’re here cause we care
And when you’re feeling scared
Just know even when you don’t let us know, that we are still aware
I gotta admit, you did some things I don’t approve
But after the fact‚ I understand it wasn’t you
All in all I guess mistakes are just what humans do
So I forgive you for all of the things you’ve put me through
I would’ve been more supportive for you the last time
But being fifteen it never really got past my
Closed mindedness
I tried to act mature cause all I wanted was some bliss
But damn I’m selfish
Mother mother, come back and raise your children
I promise you won’t have to worry about work once I make up a million
You’ll be living cool
Ezy will go to school
And you’ll have all that you want, with only one rule
Take your medicine
I want you back again
So you can feel the best that you have ever been
That’s I really want, is for you to be healthy
And that’s the truth even though it sounds a little sappy
Mama tell me
Do you feel me?
Cause you can’t be willy nilly
Bout’ the dealy
I really feely that you acting silly
So tell me, are you ready to proceed
In the best life you’ll ever lead?
Soon I know that everybody will be okay
Soon enough we’ll see color from that is all gray
Yes I know that one day this will be over
We don’t wanna face another October
