"once more with feeling"

by: get cape wear cape fly

don't let the silence get you down, 

though you've been sitting here for hours, 

hoping a voice could soon be found that speaks louder than this music.

for you're a little off colour and out for the count, 

don't let it get you down.

don't let the talking keep you up, 

if they're your friends, they'll share your vision. 

and as the phone rings break the silence, 

they don't figure that you don't want to answer.

for you're a little off colour and tired of the sound,

don't let it get you down.

don't let the people make you think that just because

you're young you're useless. 

you know it's not naive to think that you can 

change the things around and that no man is an island.

for i'd rather be a pebble in an ocean vast and 

drown alone than make no sound.

i've felt pretty helpless lately.

no job. no friends. no real connection to my new life here.

i'm in a coffee shop surrounded by people and i'm floating

in the vast ocean, hoping someone will notice when and if

i slip beneath the surface.

this song though, keeps me floating; reminds me that time is fleeting

as are the struggles i'm facing, that we all face. (gosh, i know that sounds cliche.)

but c'est la vie. life is cliche. 

"don't let it get you down."

life is hard and it bares you down until you have nothing left - or so it seems.

but just as you feel the lowest, take a look around. notice the small things.

life really is beautiful and time doesn't stop. it just keeps going.

things will continue on. so why shouldn't you?
