Geof Sux 666

wrote this song for my friend Geof, so instead of explaining it myself I thought I would ask for his perspective. This is what he had to say:

"Last year my life fell apart. No shit, one day I was happily living my life the next I was swinging by a garden hose in my back yard. Depression had grabbed me by the throat and it was squeezing tight. During my stay in hospital I was allowed to check my emails once a week and one of those days I received the most amazing uplifting poetic email from Joel, I printed it out and showed my counsellor. He would refer to the email during our little chats "see people do care about you geof" after a lot of work and some great friends and family I climbed out of this hole. Reading it made me cry, but in a good way. It made me feel like there were people out there that would care if I died - even people out there that care enough just to think about me. Sometimes all we need is simply to know people care. If you are feeling like ending your life, even though I don't know you, I would care if you were gone. Now All I can say to anyone who feels suicidal is "hold on, tell someone - in the end YOU WILL BE OK"





I know you're sinking deeper, every breath a straining gasp.
And I know you're wishing 'please death, just make this breath my last'
but there's life out there for living,
my friend we will not give in, take these words and let the light in,
we'll give you everything worth giving.
I heard a story from a friend about you just last night,
about you swinging by your neck there in the softly fading light -
man you've gotta call you've gotta write you've gotta leave -
get back to all your friends and all the places you should be.
You're too lonesome man, I get it, I've been there once before.

And I know you're wishing 'please death, just make this breath my last'
but there's life out there for living,
my friend we will not give in, take these words and let the light in,
we'll give you everything worth giving.

I've sailed the stormy seas, I've felt my heart rise in my throat,
I've thought of leaving all my friends and thought of letting go:
but I found life left in these limbs and found the strength to start again,
I found my heart right in my hands and found relief in all my friends.

Don't Give Up!
Don't Give Up!

But I found life left in these limbs and found the strength to start again,
I found my heart right in my hands and found relief in all my friends.

but there's life out there for living,
my friend we will not give in, take these words and let the light in,
we'll give you everything.

I know you're sinking deeper, every breath a straining gasp.
And I know you're wishing 'please death, just make this breath my last'
but there's life out there for living,
my friend we will not give in, take these words and let the light in,
we'll give you everything worth giving.
