Hey guys.
Thank you for the wonderful feedback on my writing so far.
The lericks to this song are a bit more intense. But I'm hoping you guys enjoy it anyway.
A cold day in hell.
Forward.
I thought of this concept right around the same time as I wrote I Wanna Meet you. People need to know that we believe in them, no matter what they do. Do they do things that make us angry? Of course they do. Do they do things to hurt us? Every day. Did Jesus die for them>? Absolutely!!!
There are some people who might think this is a strange selection for a book about loss. However, I think this is evolving into a book, not only about dealing with loss, but about preventing it. If people know we believe in them, maybe they will make diferent decisions. Is it likely for all? Not really. But is it likely for one person? Perhaps. Then, could that one person help another? We hope so. We plead with anyone who feels that life is hopeless and that they have fallen too far down. Please read this song and realise that there is someone out there who believes in you. There is someone out there who loved you enough to die a horrible death so you wouldn't have to do so.
A COLD DAY IN HELL
Chorus:
I'm gonna keep believing in you,
Til the sky falls down,
Til the stars crash to the ocean floor,
Until the sun sets underground.
I'm gonna keep believing in you,
When you never wish me well,
And I'm gonna keep believing in you til I see,
A cold day in hell.
1. So, you wanna look down,
And you wanna sit around.
But I'm gonna keep believing.
You wanna live shotty,
And you wanna starve your body,
Vut I'm gonna keep believeing.
You wanna talk smack,
And you wanna look back.
You wanna be depressed,
You don't wanna do your best.
You wanna raise cane,
And you wanna be a pain.
But I'm gonna keep believing.
Chorus:
I'm gonna keep believing in you til the sky falls down,
Til the stars crash to the ocean floor,
Until the sun sets under ground.
I'm gonna keep believing in you,
When you never wish me well,
And I'm gonna keep believing in you til I see,
A cold day in hell.
2. You've got an attitude from hades,
And you won't accept my babies,
But I'm gonna keep believing,
You're loving all the carnage,
And it makes me feel like garbage.
But I'm gonna keep believing.
You wanna show your power,
And you crush me like a flower.
You want me to be quiet,
When inside me there's a riot.
You wanna shun my friends,
This distruction never ends.
But I'm gonna keep believing.
Yah, I'm gonna keep believing.
Chorus:
I'm gonna keep believing in you,
Til the sky falls down,
Til the stars crash to the ocean floor,
Until the sun sets underground.
I'm gonna keep believing in you,
when you never wish me well,
And I'm gonna keep believing in you til I see,
A cold day in hell.
3. So, you wanna talk tough,
And you wanna live rough.
But I'm gonna keep believing.
You wanna be cool,
And you're acting like a fool.
But I'm gonna keep believing.
You're shooting up your vains,
And you're driving me insain!
You're screwing up your chance,
And you don't even like the dance.
You're thinking that a gang,
Is an awesome place to hang.
But I'm gonna keep believing.
Yah, I'm gonna keep believing.
Chorus:
Because, I'm gonna keep believing in you,
Til the sky falls down,
Til the stars crash to the ocean floor,
Until the sun sets underground.
I'm gonna keep believing in you,
When you never wish me well,
And I'm gonna keep believing in you, til I see,
A cold day in hell.
4. So, you wanna put me down,
Smash my heart into the ground.
But I'm gonna keep believing.
You keep messing with my mind,
So I'll stay one step behind.
But I'm gonna keep believing.
You wanna wreck my day,
And you wish I'd go away.
Your head is in the sand.
You don't want to understand.
You're pushing your own way,
Til I've nothing left to say.
But I'm gonna keep believing.
Yah, I'm gonna keep believing.
Chorus.
Because I'm gonna keep believing in you,
Til the sky falls down,
Til the stars crash to the ocean floor,
Until the sun sets underground.
I'm gonna keep believing in you,
When you never wish me well,
And I'm gonna keep believing in you, til I see,
A cold day in hell.
5. Your life is such a trial,
Cause you're swimming in denial.
But I'm gonna keep believing.
Your potential's standing still,
Cause you never bend your will.
But I'm gonna keep believing.
You're barking up a tree,
That's no good for you or me.
You're kicking on the prick,
And it's gonna make me sick.
You're holding up the works,
Cause you're hanging out with jirks.
But I'm gonna keep believing.
Yah, I'm gonna keep believing.
Chorus.
Because I'm gonna keep believing in you,
Til the sky falls down.
Til the stars crash to the ocean floor,
Until the sun sets underground.
I'm gonna keep believing in you,
When you never wish me well,
And I'm gonna keep believing in you, til I see,
A cold day in hell.
6. So, you wish I'd disappear,
Cause you wanna live in fear.
Well, I'm gonna keep believing.
You're pushing me asside,
Cause you're tripping on your pride.
But I'm gonna keep believing.
You try to clip my wings,
Cause you like familiar things.
You won't embrase the new,
Cause progression bothers you.
You're holding others back,
Cause you live to feed the crack.
But I'm gonna keep believing.
Yah, I'm gonna keep believing.
Chorus:
I'm gonna keep believing in you,
Til the sky falls down.
Til the stars crash to the ocean floor,
Until the sun sets underground.
I'm gonna keep believing in you,
When you never wish me well,
And I'm gonna keep believing in you til I see,
A cold day in hell.
7. If you wanna walk away,
I could never make you stay.
But I'm gonna keep believing.
If you wanna close your heart,
I can make a brand new start.
But I'm gonna keep believing.
You're treating me like trash,
And you wanna take my cash.
You're grace is on vacation.
You embrase manipulation.
You wanna freeze my soul,
Cause your own is pretty cold.
But I'm gonna keep believing.
Yah, I'm gonna keep believing.
Chorus.
I'm gonna keep believing in you,
Til the sky falls down,
Til the stars crash to the ocean floor,
Until the sun sets underground.
I'm gonna keep believing in you,
When you never wish me well,
And I'm gonna keep believing in you, til I see,
A cold day in hell.
I'm gonna keep believing in you,
Cause The Lord believes in me.
I've been just as bad or worse than you,
And that's what I need to see.
If we all fall down at the foot of the cross,
That is where we need to be.
And if we all embrase the saviour,
We will truly be free,
And none of us will ever see,
A cold day in hell.
This is another exerpt from the book that my feline therapy team is writing about grief and loss.

@catbrat Wrapping a message in a pretty package doesn't serve the intended purpose. You can't be afraid to be harsh when it's needed.
