The Wallows (by Deb Seymour & Todd Lawrence) #hope #overcoming #darkfolk

"The Wallows" is a powerful song that explores themes of depression, being stuck, fate, and finding the golden thread to get unstuck. #hope #gettinunstuck #overcomingobstacles ————————————————————————- The Wallows (Deb Seymour & Todd Lawrence) Life was crusin’ on easy street Until your wheel of fortune got stuck You thought it was just a glitch A hitch in your good luck Then down came the avalanche And all the pain that follows The next thing you know They’ve laid you deep down in The Wallows Who said life was supposed to be fair God laughs everytime you plan You thought you had it all mapped out Lines drawn spic and span But times got tough, they coiled you up Like a snake before it swallows And the cruel, cruel joke is you’ve begun to choke Face-down in The Wallows So welcome, bud, into the tar and mud I suppose it all feels grim Being stuck in the holy muck Maybe you’d best learn to swim But when you think about the journey out Some part of you just hollows So you acquiesce to your own distress Neck-deep in the Wallows Depression and discomfort Are now your closet friends That melancholy baby Has got you up on end But misery loves company Your now flesh and bone When you’re in The Wallows, babe You’re never quite alone So welcome, bud, into the tar and mud I suppose it all feels grim Being stuck in the holy muck Maybe you’d best learn to swim But all your fears are muscled up And flexing like Apollo’s You feel so small that you toss it all To the mercy of the Wallows The Wallows are addictive Primed to keep you pinned The could-haves and the should-haves Leave you twisting in the wind But faith leaves a golden thread In the darkest pit It’s your call to rise or fall What will you make of it? Welcome, friend, to the bitter end Tell me what’s is going to be? Will you walk the first, hard mile Or drown in misery It’s the same for everyone, everywhere From Seattle to Sao Paulo No soul’s alive to big to dive Into the deep-end of the Wallows ———————————————————— The Wallows Copyright 2022/2024 by Deb Seymour (Herkimer Productions) & Todd Lawrence (Binderville Music).
