Analysis of Getting out of bed
Kelley Davies 1983 (Dallas)
I rise slowly
It's hard to alive myself
It would be easier to unalive
And no longer suffer
I pray for my family
I know they would miss me terribly
And even in a world that doesn't seem to care
I would hope to survive myself
Amid the whirlwind of depression
