I texted God my problems
For I was sad and lonely
Pat came His reply
‘Can’t talk, Whatsapp only’
I texted God my problems
For I was sad and lonely
Pat came His reply
‘Can’t talk, Whatsapp only’
Wife’s gone out with friends
I’m home with our two sons
I’m supposed to manage
While she has all the funs
It’s days like these when I feel
I should have been alone
Never should have married
Or kids should all be grown
…
One of them is hungry
The other’s crying loud
It’s like I’m locked inside
A room of angry crowd
Well I’m feeling helpless
There’s nothing I can do
This is mental torture
I want to cry out too
…
Well I give them board games
And some packaged food
It always works out with her
With me it isn’t good
And the cries get louder
Hunger takes its toll
Trying to run a house
Where I have no control
…
Well my wife just text me
‘How the angels are?’
Should I text back the truth
About my brand new scar?
Then she texts me again
Stamps and seals my fate
‘Hey, my battery’s low now
It might get quite late’
Once I found a treasure map
With an ‘X’ marked upon it
It got me quite excited
That I must admit
…
I followed the map’s trail
With a spade in my hand
It led me to a garden
Desolate and abandoned
…
In the barren garden stood
A giant of a tree
That was the treasure spot
My heart was filled with glee
…
So I began digging
Digging for hours on end
Digging all day and all night
With a spade in my hand
…
Many such days did pass
No sign of a chest
Though I dug up everywhere
Though I tried my best
…
An old man came up to me
Said, “Son, I see you sweat
But what is it you want?
What do you wish to get?”
…
Though I wasn’t very keen
I narrated my tale
About the dusty treasure map
About the ‘X’ and trail
…
He said, “You’ve got it wrong
The treasure is the tree
No need to be digging
This map was made by me”
…
I looked at him with rage
Knocked him with my spade
Buried him on the spot
Under the giant tree’s shade
I think I might be in love
With these sleepless nights
Loss of appetite
Head’s full of stress
Room’s a complete mess
I’m trying new things
Laughing at bad jokes
Full of insecurity
Filled with anxiety
Zero concentration
Zero focus
I am definitely in love
But then again
Who am I in love with?
Depression?
My wife was a devil
She died and went to Hell
She gave my referral
Now that is where we dwell
I was thinking this all night
Up till the morn’ light
Am I lucky to call us ‘We’?
I begin to reflect
I know I’m not perfect
But you always stick with me
…
Not knowing what flaw is
I battled lost causes
To drown in a massive sea
You bring me to the shore
Show me the world and more
You always stick with me
…
You’re always by my side
You make me smile so wide
You’re the best that there can be
So often I am wrong
I don’t always stay strong
Yet you always stick with me
…
I know I’m not like them
You love all that I am
The goodness that you see
That’s why I love you
All the things you do
And you always stick with me
Yesterday wasn’t exactly the kindest to me
I suffered, I begged, I screamed in misery
I felt so alone despite being so free
Distance doesn’t help no matter what they say
Oh I’m never gonna leave you for another day
…
I realised too late that I need to have you
To make me see the heavens in the sky so blue
I’d even call the angels down if I may need to
I will burn all the roads that lead you away
Oh I’m never gonna leave you for another day
…
I’m climbing your wall, I’m swimming the seas
I can crawl all the way till I’ve scarred my knees
I’ll get to you no matter where you may be
I’m gonna get to you no matter what they throw my way
Oh I’m never gonna leave you for another day
