Familial Regress

from Tales From The Black Cloud by Cherry Blossoms

lyrics

I'm trying to keep myself together
So I don't give in to depression's hunger
I'm trying to keep myself together
I used to hurt myself when I was younger

I'm trying to keep myself together
But it's so hard when you're not in control
I'm trying to keep myself together
I wanna reach you but I can't let go

Now you're depressed and I'm your second man at best
I've ignored your suffering and left your heart a mess
Now I'm alone and my mom, well, she left home
She broke up this family and turned my heart to stone

I'm trying to keep myself together
Not for my mother, but for me and you
I've got to keep myself together
'cause you're the only one I'd hate to lose

How can she keep herself together?
She was my hero, now she's just a crone
I'm trying to keep myself together
But it's so hard when you feel all alone

I can't turn back
All that joy was in the past
Erase all my memories
I knew they wouldn't last
But I've still got you
And I know that you'll stay true
Oh Juliette, there's so much that we've both been through

Can't stand to think of her dating some other man
If she finds someone else, he won't be my stepdad
She lives in fantasy, neglected our dreams
A perfect family? Well I guess things aren't what they seem

Please believe me when I say she’s the one we ought to blame
She really needs to find herself?
I say she needs to get some help
I’ll never come home. She won, I suppose
What’s the point of showing love when all I end up is alone?

I guess I’m fine when I’m with you
Oh Jules, you know just what to do
when I feel worthless or when I feel I just can’t go on
You know, I’ve got to fight. I’ve got to live.
I’ve got to learn how to forgive
But it’s so hard when all the things around you crash and burn

I’ve gotta keep myself together
I’ve gotta stabilize my mental state
I tried to keep it all together
But it’s so pointless to propitiate

I’ve gotta keep myself together...
