Gone colour blind, black turns to grey
So much things I got to do
but I wake up with the same old blues
This city’s a bind, can’t see my way
Trying to stay positive – trying to believe
Doing the best I can
Prescription in my hand
This is just where I’m at
Under a soul attack
I’ve always been a mess
Still I know that I’m blessed
This is just where I’m at
Under a soul attack
The beauty I see just gets me down
20 milligrams should do
but I wake up with the same old blues
It’s all about me, and my black cloud
Give me something else to sing – give me anything
Doing the best I can
Prescription in my hand
This is just where I’m at
Under a soul attack
I’ve always been a mess
Still I know that I’m blessed
This is just where I’m at
Under a soul attack
I tell myself to breathe
I tell my heart, you can believe
I tell my feet to move
I tell myself, nothing to prove
I tell my spirit fight
I tell my eyes, look to the light
I tell my bones, no need to crave
I tell my god, my soul to save
Doing the best I can
Prescription in my hand
This is just where I’m at
Under a soul attack
Oh it's stormy weather now
Send me a rainbow down
This is just where I’m at
Under a soul attack
