Time crumbles blue roses to dust.
These lyrics describe my emotions perfectly, word for word. I wish I could assemble words into phrases the way that Ben Harper does. His lyrics are actually helping me through this tumultuous time. I have such great respect for that man's mind.
Have you ever lost your way,
Have you ever feared another day,
Have you ever misplaced your mind,
Watching this world leave(in) you behind.
Won't you,
Won't you give,
Won't you give a man,
Give a man a home.
Have you ever worn thin,
Have you ever never known where to begin,
Have you ever lost your belief,
Watching your faith turn to grief.
Won't you,
Won't you give,
Won't you give a man,
Give a man a home.
Won't you,
Won't you give,
Won't you give a man,
Give a man a home.
In a world that is unwhole,
You have got to fight, just to keep your soul,
Some would rather give than receive,
Some would rather give up before they believe.
Won't you,
Won't you give,
Won't you give a man,
Give a man a home.
Won't you,
Won't you give,
Won't you give a man,
Give a man a home.
Won't you,
Won't you give,
Won't you give a man,
Give a man a home.
PS: I need to sleep but I'm too tired. I haven't slept since I woke up at 8am Saturday morning, except for an hour-long nap last night. My body won't let me. And I started smoking again. It was too much for my body to take. But at least now I do physically feel better. And I found a buddy who's going to go to NA with me. He's never been either, but he's recovering from one of the drugs I had an addiction to. We're going Thursday. I'm just worried though because it's someone whom I had strong feelings for that I thought were reciprocated and then he just disappeared. But we were friends for 5 years before that happened, so hopefully we can just be friends and shoulders for each other to lean on now.
