Friend: Yo Dave its been a minute, haven't heard from you. Uhhh Maybe call me back. Ya know? Maybe hit the house. I dont know...just tryna check in. Peace and love. SBD: Going round the bend, just me and my friends. Don't know what's in store, one things known for sure. If I die tonight, bring my candle light. Dark as the abyss, didn't tell them this. Thoughts I cant explain, words that cant be tamed. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Friend: Hey, Sad Boy Dave, I was wondering if you wanted to hangout? I'm nowhere near as sad as you but I suffer from seasonal depression and clinical depression, sooo....maybe we got some stuff we could talk about?

Never know where we might go from here, for so long we've travelled Even so its cool from here on out, let the good times unravel we'll take each day at a time, forget all we've learned afraid yet live as tho were fine, spend all we've earned heaven knows so try their best, some say there's no heaven distant stars the burn oh so bright, all explode leave nothing else we'll take your words and change them, say their our own well make you our sovereign king, and then steal your thrown Never know where we might go from here, for so long we've travelled Even so its cool from here on out, let the good times unravel.
