UNDONE

Lyrics for a future song. I am making a collection of 'down, depressed, and out' kind of songs for a down and out kind of album that I will release someday. This will be one of the songs on it.

Every morning
Warning signs are there to greet me
Waking
Shaking
I don't dare to face it 
Fight it 
Try and right it 
Cuz it always turns out wrong

Every feeling 
Leaves me
Reeling from the fear of falling 
Calling
Calling out for you
I need you here...
To help me calm back down again

And I'm not the way I was 
When you first loved me
And I'm not the one 
I've tried so hard to be
And I'm not the one
To stand and try to tell you
That everything
Will be alright with me 

Cuz it's not ok
I won't be fine
This war I wage inside my mind
Feels like the whole wide world is closing in
And there's nowhere to run

No, it's not ok
I won't be fine 
I've been down one too many times
No way to hide it anymore
I've come undone

----------------------------------

Everyone I see 
Reflected in their eyes 
It's always me
Hiding from the way I feel inside
And longing for the way it's always been

Every night alone 
Sinking
As I slowly turn to stone
Terrified
I'm losing you, I see
I'll soon be on my own again

Cuz I'm not the one I was 
When you first loved me
And I'm not the one 
I've tried so hard to be
And I'm not one who can lie 
And try to tell you
That everything
Will be alright with me 

Cuz it's not ok
I won't be fine
This war is raging in my mind
Feels like world is closing in
And there is just nowhere to run

No, it's not ok
I won't be fine 
I've been here one too many times
It's time to face it on my own
I've come undone

...Jeff Bresee

..the downward spiral..quite eloquently expressed..

[Loner]

Beautifully portrayed ....

[J. Anthony Guerrero]

Very nice. I can definitely see that as a song and a very popular one most likely!

[Lorna Lee]

Brillantly penned Jeff- Every now and then I stumble across a writer that seems to be able to get inside my head and put my thoughts down perfectly. This piece does just that for me. Funny thing is, it perfectly describes what i imagine someone very close ot me is feeling and I am going to share it with them in hopes that it will help them to open up to me and realize they are not alone in the world and that other people share similar feelings.

I honestly think this may help... and I have to thank you for sharing so selflessly and openly. Your album will touch so many and your lyrics will be on many lips for years to come... I am sure :-)

[Emily Burns]

[Christie 2 ∞ & &u..]

Everyone I see
Reflected in their eyes
It's always me
Hiding /
I've been here one too many times
It's time to face it on my own
I've come undone

Great job on this keep up the good work.Looking forward from more you have for us .

LOVE this! it would be a great song, but it stands alone as a great poetic memoir. i really like that it leaves the story open enough for the reader to make their own assumptions on meaning which can easily allow them to relate on a personal level. good stuff!
