Despair - The Psychedelic Ensemble

Hello, my faithful friend

You’re back again

Hello, my dreary friend

You’re here again

Every day I wonder

Will you show yourself again

Never really knowing

Why or if or where or when

Suddenly you’ll turn up

On my doorstep once again

Giving me no warning

That my joy has come to end

You’re at my door again

No help to lend

You knock again and again

Is there no end?

Sorry not to welcome

You with open arms, my friend

Seems like you just left me

My heart had no time to mend

I was almost happy

Thinking you had come to end

Now your darkness fills me

As you settle in again

I hate you, faithful friend

You have no end

I loathe you, dreary friend

You’ll bring my end

Once again you turn up

In an unexpected way

Like an unforeseen twist

In a dark and tragic play

Yesterday I smiled

Thinking you had gone away

Now your sadness fills me

And I see you’re here to stay
