in my mind

dan henry lambrix 1962 (roseville)



i feel down today, as down as i have
ever been in my life before.
i can't seem to get back on track in
my life, i can't even open a door.
but in my mind, i dream of far better days.
real life is not worth living, when all things go bad.
your family and friends can't help you,
when your this low and sad.
but in my mind, i dream of far better days.
suicide might be going to far, when
your alone in this place.
but it seems to be the only thing to do, just to save face.
but in my mind, i dream of far better days.
where the sun shines warm and bright,
and all the birds sing.
all your friends and family call, the
phone always rings. \yes in my mind, i dream of far better days.
