The light down here is pretty dim
It's hard to see my way
I keep crashing and falling down
Like a jiggly anime
Times are hard and times are mean
Not no one with half a heart
I keep hoping for a new dawn
A brand-new start
I take a pill to lift me up
But it does not take for long
I start sliding down a slippery slope
Can't recall went I felt strong
I draw your face in my oatmeal
I write your name on the sky
I am deep in the valley of ash
It all seems to magnify
I am blue, I am blue, I am blue, period
I am blue, what can I do, I am blue, period
I play some chords on my mandolin
But they sound out of tune
I smash the thing against the wall
Like I am Keith Moon
Please don't try to text me, girl
I don't got a smart phone
Don't want nothing from no one at all
Just leave me alone
