Minus Something

There's been a lot of upsetting
Very upsetting things
That I can't allow to happen anymore
I have to be like a soldier and march away
'Cause I'm very delicate in a lot of ways
And things get to me
And affect me in a very adverse manner
I don't need that
Don't need that

I feel now like minus something, you know
I feel faded, I don't feel like I'm all here
I think it'll come back, I hope it'll come back
There's a lot of color missing, from the way I feel
And from my face, and, you know, just everything
There's some kind of zest, or some kind of, um, life
You know, that seems to be faded temporarily
Because I've been so drained, emotionally

By a number of things
That has to slowly build back up
And then it has to be kept sustained
It cannot be allowed to be diminished
