This is a song about my first boyfriend of 8 years who passed away and is special to me, I would love to hear your thoughts


My eyelids are like torn leaves tumbling down, and when they hit they ground, darling they shroud

The granite from which my soul is renowned

Cold as stone in a way only you know

 Coz you see through me, and you choose me

A sad old clown with a painted smile that doesnt want to be found

 

Your voice is like soft grunge, your touch is my sponge when i leak my secrets

Youre the chosen one, i'll let you be my sun- Youre the dirty solace im seeking

 

Youre my sertraline

And you soak up all the pain inside of me

The bandage round my broken heart when it bleeds

When the happy borderline inside my mind recedes,

I can always depend on my sertraline

 

My mouth is like a tidal wave, and when my words cascade

Its just like a craving that i can never escape

But you give me hope through this oceanic telescope

 That you can ride me, the only sailor to survive me, A tsunami that you believe has more depth to see

 

Your pain is like torture, your love is my rapture

When i take it all deep inside,

Youre my favourite lie, let you trespass on my mind, and every footstep will be a stride

 

Youre my sertraline and you soak up all the pain inside of me,

The bandage round my broken hearr when it bleeds

When my blank mind rolls like tumbleweed

 I can always depend on my sertraline

 

There is no dosage for you when im broken , just want to feel you, make sure that youre potent

Coz they say im cray cray, no im not okay, so i need some medicine that is explosive

And im sorry if you cant take me, but please dont forsake me- get into my bloodstream like you've invaded my dreams

One day ill get better because we're together, this feelings an omen, its pure seratonin

 You're all that i need, so come on and force feed me

And i promise ill never be crazy again

 

Youre my sertraline and you soak up all the pain inside of me,

The bandage round my broken heart when it bleeds

When the happy borderline inside my mind recedes,

I can always depend on my sertraline

  Hello SFX,
    I'm afraid i'm a little confused by this. You say it's about a former boyfriend who is no longer with us, and yet you seem to be talking about him in the present tense. Is it the memory of him that is the drug in which you find solace? I'm also finding it difficult to get my head around the meaning of some of the lines.
I don't know if the fault is on my side, or how you have tried to communicate your feelings. It's interesting though, and deserves a mention. Maybe someone who is better at reading a song will post a better reply. I'm hearing rap by the way, is that what you intended?

Beautiful lyrics!!!
The Loving expressed soaked me like rain.
Fab word Sertraline...
One of my fave words is Erudite.
