about

Strange.24

Strange.24 is a song about the acceptance of recovering from a battle with mental illness, The feeling of something changing within my life and trying to accept that it is actually happening. After fighting with mental illnesses for such a long time, the possibility of it leaving was complete myth to me. Life without deep hopelessness seemed strange to me as I was accustomed to the black hole that was my normality.

Just as you would need to get used to living in a new home, I had to get used to living as a person that was no longer mentally ill. This song was a theraputic way to help me move on with my recovery!

lyrics

Strange.24

Layin' in the Bayou
I was dreaming 'bout my girl
I left her with a broken heart and
A grudge against the world
I faded up my crimson look
I finally pay the price
Oh lay me down
So gently now

I nearly made it twice.
Feeling so damn lost with you

Now i'm finally comin to..
Let me say
It all just went away..
Feeling strange
It all just went away..
I'm feeling strange
It all just went away..
I'm feeling strange

It all just went away..
Time was all but over with
I finally got to leave
Those dirty tricks
Donned up your sleeve
They done nothing to me
A fever finally broken
It's out on the balcony
Hung up high
Left out to dry

It's got nothing without me
Feeling so damn lost with you

Now im finally comin' too
Let me say
It all just went away..
Feeling strange
It all just went away..
I'm feeling strange
It all just went away..
I'm feeling strange
It all just went away..
I'm feeling strange
It all just went away..
It all just went away..
