Falling Inside the Black by Skillet

So, I hadn't really been feeling very depressed for a while, but I feel myself starting to head that direction... and I know it's a slippery slope. The past week has been rough, spent mostly stuck on the couch - useless! I hate times like these, when there's nothing to do but sit there in pain and hope that the meds will help "this time." I started listening to some music on my computer, and one of my favorite songs came on: "Falling Inside the Black" by Skillet. While many Christians may argue that Christian rock groups (such as Skillet) are a disgrace, I think they are able to reach more people and people at different points in their lives. To me, this song is a cry out to God - a cry that says, "I feel far away from and separated from you, God. Can you hear me?" It is a desparate plea from someone that is just trying to hold on.

Just hold on... that's exactly what I feel like I'm trying to do each day right now. I supposed this can related back to my post on When Depression Hits. I'm trying to keep out of the pit of depression, but I feel like I'm just barely hanging on. God willing, this, too, shall pass.





Falling Inside the Black by Skillet

Tonight I'm so alone
This sorrow takes ahold
Don't leave me here so cold
(Never want to be so cold)

Your touch used to be so kind
Your touch used to give me life
I've waited all this time, I've wasted so much time

Don't leave me alone
Cause I barely see at all
Don't leave me alone, I'm

Chorus:
Falling in the black
Slipping through the cracks
Falling to the depths can I ever go back
Dreaming of the way it used to be
Can you hear me
Falling in the black
Slipping through the cracks
Falling to the depths can I ever go back
Falling inside the black
Falling inside falling inside the black

You were my source of strength
I've traded everything
That I love for this one thing
(Stranded in the offering)

Don't leave me here like this
Can't hear me scream from the abyss
And now i wish for you my desire

Don't leave me alone
Cause I barely see at all
Don't leave me alone, I'm

[Chorus]

Falling in the black...

Slipping through the cracks...

[Chorus]

Can you hear me?
Falling inside the black
Can you hear me?
Falling inside the black
Can you hear me?
Falling inside
Falling inside, falling inside the black
