The Abyss
The darkness reaches out to me and gently caresses
The abyss is creeping up on me
The emptiness strokes my arms in a comforting manner
I know its arms like an old lover
It kisses my cheek in a butterfly manner
It muzzles my neck like a puppy
Its arms hold me from behind
I’ve been given this depression many times
As it gently holds me I try to leave its arms
But its lover’s arms have turned to restraints
Its arms lock my arms to my stomach, ties its legs around mine
My body is trapped, I can’t move but I beg it to stop
It doesn’t stop, its tight grip burns but the pain is pleasurable
Its head pushes into my neck and its mouth starts to open
Its teeth grips my neck and it bites as I scream
All that makes me real pours out of my veins, into its mouth
My love, my joy, my hope, my pain, my fears - all drained away
When there is nothing left the abyss replaces me with itself
As I feel it take me over my fearful screams turns to quiet peace
The abyss takes me over as it flows down my blue veins, freezes them.
It freezes my emotions, it freezes my soul, it freezes my resistance
It finally reaches my heart and turns it ice-cold until I can love no more
The quiet depression welcomes me like a homecoming
It swoops me into its arms and carries me down into its deep dark hole
Where it makes me its queen and we reside in the darkness together
We are the outcasts, we are the unloved, we are the ones you fear
Cold and lonely is where we stand; the abyss and I are hand in hand

Falling into the Arms of Depression
It is sad to hear
that you are still in the arms of depression.
He is a deceitful lover.
He invites you into his arms so subtly.
You think you are being comforted,
while he sucks all the juice out of your brain.
Some do battle with depression,
others give up and listen to the siren song.
They go deeper and deeper into his arms
until there is no light.
There is light on the other side.
A tiny starburst,
is trying to break through the abyss.
Open your heart to the light.
Trust that there is hope,
grace, and peace.
Believe that the light
is a better lover
than the darkness.

Bobby's Arms
(Dolly Parton)
Bobby's arms, they are warm when he holds me
Bobby's arms always comfort and console me
When I'm in his arms held tight
I know everything's alright
Just as long as I'm inside bobby's arms
Chorus:
Bobby's arms always welcome me inside
Bobby's arms always hold me when I cry
Bobby's arms are my shelter from life's storms
And I feel so safe in Bobby's arms
Bobby's arms, they are strong but they're tender
Bobby's arms reach for me and I surrender
When he reaches out for me, I'm never out of reach
And I always want to be in Bobby's arms
Repeat Chorus

Open Arms
Lying beside you here in the dark
Feeling your heart beat with mine
Softly you whisper
You're so sincere
How could our love be so blind
We sailed on together
We drifted apart
And here you are by my side
So now I come to you with open arms
Nothing to hide
Believe what I say
So here I am with open arms
Hoping you'll see what your love means to me
Open arms
Living without you
Living alone
This empty house seems so cold
Wanting to hold you
Wanting you near
How much I wanted you home
But now that you've come back
Turned night into day
I need you to stay
So now I come to you with open arms
Nothing to hide
Believe what I say
So here I am with open arms
Hoping you'll see what your love means to me
Open arms

Depression's Hold on Me
I can see Depression
He's off in the distance
calling for me with open arms
wanting me to come
I try to resist as much as I can
but He's signing the hypnatizing song
A song that I heard several times
and can never resist, no matter what
Finally came in my Depression's arms
full of pain and hurt, along with blood
all the things i know and love
feeling safe in His arms once more
He's leading me out
Dark and solitude place
putting a razor in my hand
motioning me to cut
Been in this situation too many times
knowing exactly what to do
always wondering
when will I ever be done?
Tired of falling in love with him
over and over again
wanting to stop
to get my happiness back
BUT it'll never be
for I love HIM
and He loves ME

Hold Me In Your Arms
Rick astley
Weve been trying for a long time
To say what we want to say
But feelings dont come easy
To express in a simple way
But we all have feelings
We all need loving
And who would be the fool to say, that if you
Hold me in your arms
I wont feel better
If you hold me in your arms
We can brave this storm together
We both know theres a problem
A problem that weve got to face
So put your trust in me, lover
No-ones ever gonna take your place
cos we all have a problem
We all have fears
But theres always got to be a way
Yes we all have feelings
We all need loving
And you would be a fool to say, that if you
Hold me in your arms
I wont feel better
If you hold me in your arms
We can brave this storm together
(solo)
You only have to hold me
Touch me to make me feel so good
You only have to hold me
Feel me
To make me feel the way you know I should
Hold me in your arms
Hold me in your arms
Hold me in your arms
Hold me in your arms
When you gonna hold me in your arms
Hold me in your arms
Hold me in your arms
Hold me in your arms
Hold me in your arms
Hold me in your arms
Hold me in your arms
Hold me in your arms
Hold me in your arms

These Arms Of Mine
(otis redding)
These arms of mine
They are lonely
Lonely and feeling blue
These arms of mine
They are yearning
Yearning from wanting you
And if you, would let them hold, hold you
Oh how grateful I will be
These arms of mine
They are burning
Burning from wanting you
These arms of mine
They are wanting
Wanting to hold you
And if you, would let them hold, hold, hold you
Oh how grateful I will be
These arms of mine
They are burning
Burning from wanting you
These arms of mine
They are wanting
Wanting to hold you
And if you would let them hold, hold you
Oh what a night it would be
Come on, come on now baby
Ill be your woman
Just be my lover
I need me somebody
Somebody to treat me right
Oh, I need your arms
Loving arms to hold me tight
I want to know if you want me, need me, love me, be mine tonight

Open Arms
Guess Ive got a lot of learning to do
About the way that you love.
If it had been left up to me,
Id given up a long time ago.
But youve got a way of wooing me,
Tender and true,
And though I dont deserve it,
Im falling into your
Open arms.
Your love has taken hold,
And I cant fight it;
Im giving in to your
Open arms.
They pull me to you;
They wrap your love around me;
Ill rest in your open arms.
Only yesterday the thought came the to me,
Is your love as deep as they say?
Wonder where those questions come from.
Soon as I learn, Ill chase them away.
cause Ive had a taste of tenderness,
Simple and true,
It drives away the doubting
And draws me into your
Open arms.
Your love has taken hold,
And I cant fight it.
Im giving in to your
Open arms.
They pull me to you;
They wrap your love around me;
Ill rest in your open arms.
Open arms.
Your love has taken hold,
And I cant fight it.
Im giving in to your
Open arms.
They pull me to;
They wrap your love around me;
Ill rest in your open,
Open arms.
Your love has taken hold,
And I cant fight it.
Im giving in to your
Open arms.
They pull me to you;
They wrap your love around me;
Ill rest in your open...(open arms).
I know, I know, I know,
And I cant fight it.
Im giving in to your
Open arms.
They pull me to;
They wrap love around me;
Ill rest in your open arms (open arms).

Why I was taken from your hands
One day we'll meet again
Mother and father hand in hand
Child in your arms
Will always love you
Child in your arms
Will always love you
Pick a star in the sky
And see the twinkle in my eye
As I send you my love
From heavens above
Child in your arms
Will always love you
Child in your arms
Will always love you
All the new mothers above
Giving their love
To the new born child
In heavens above
Mother father watch over me
And jesus will watch over you
I feel your love in heavens above
I'll see you here
When it's your time to come
Child in your arms
Will always love you
Child in your arms
Will always love you
Oh mummy dear
I see you and daddy so near
My life as just begun
In heavens above
So don't be afraid to live your life
Be glad and happy to what comes to you
I'll keep you safe as I watch over you

Will always love you
Child in your arms
Will always love you
Sweet child in heaven
Sleep in peace

The Arms Of The One Who Loves You
I know youre going
I cant make you stay
I can only let you know Ill love you anyway
And if the road you take leads to heartbreak somewhere down the line
If someone ever hurts you or treats your heart unkind
Chorus:
You just run to the arms of the one who loves you
You just run to these arms
And these two arms will keep you warm
When rain has felt your heart
Never fear Im never far
You just run
To the arms of the one who loves you
I want you happy
I want the best for you
And if you have to leave to find your dream
I hope that dream comes true
And if the world you find brings you hard times
If someone makes you cry
Ill be there to hold you
Ill be standin by
Chorus
Oh my love is strong enough you know
Strong enough to let you go
But Ill always hold you inside my heart
And if you should ever cahnge your mind
You can come back anytime
And when you do
And when you do
You.....
You just run

You just run to the arms of the one who loves you
Run to the arms of the one whol loves you

You better wrap me up good and tight
In your arms
In your arms
Just like a bee in a honeycomb
Im gonna make myself right at home
In your arms
In your arms
Well, it dont take much to keep me satisfied
Just a little bit of lovin thats bonafide
In your arms keep me tangled up all the time
Like a kitten with a ball of twine
Yeah baby, thats where I want to stay
For the rest of my natural days
In your arms

these arms
that do wrap those arms:
the shadowy imprint of
what belonged to you.

You In My Arms
Whatever happened to you last night
You should have been here holding me tight
Without you in my arms
I've tried to hold out to get you here
I've waited ages to hold you near
Without you in my arms
People say that I'm a lonely one
but I'm going to prove you're not the only one only one only one
(repeat)
It seems I tried just a little too hard
to make you stay with me all night
Without you in my arms
Without you in my arms
Without you in my arms

Depression Is
Depression is when your sad and alone
Depression is when you can't do it anymore
Depression is when all you do is cry non stop and no one cares
Depression is when all you think about is ending your life and giving up
Depression is a life full of hell and heartache
Depression is not a good way to live but when you deal with it all your life like I do it just makes your life miserable and a hell hole
Depression makes you want to cut up your arms, legs, and whole body and watch the blood pour out to make it feel good in life
Everything I go through since I was born makes me have depression and only gets worse as life goes on
Sometimes I get so sick of the depression it just makes me want to end it all and wonder if i'm better off dead
In general depression will never go away, you'll have it all your life regardless

Back In Your Arms Again
(from the video blood brothers)
You said once I was your treasure, and I saw your face in every store
The promises we make at night, oh thats all they are
Unless we fill them with faith and love theyre emty as a howlin wind.
Now darlin I just wanna be
Back in your arms, back in your arms again..
Back in your arms, back in your arms again.
Back in your arms, back in your arms again.
You came to me with love and kindness, but all my life Ive been a prisoner
Of my own blindness
I met you with indifference, and I dont know why.
Now I wake from my dream, I wake from my dream to this world.
Where all the shadow and darkness and a dark sky unfurls.
And all the love Ive thrown away and lost, honey Im longing for again.
Now theres nothing that I wouldnt do if I could be
Back in your arms, back in your arms again.
Back in your arms, back in your arms again.
Back in your arms, back in your arms again.
Back in your arms
(alternative firstverse)
In my dream my love was lost, I lived by luck and faith.
I carried you inside of me, and praied it wouldnt be to late.
Now Im standin on this empty road, where nothin moves but the wind...

Snowfall On The Sahara
Your love like wine
Tasting sweeter to me everyday
Your kiss, divine and it melts the cold inside away
All of my life Ive been waiting for a love like this
And now that youre here, romance is just a second away
Its gonna stay
Till the snowfalls on the sahara and the sun freezes over
Till the mojave red turns into blue
When my lungs get tired of breathing
And my heart stops its beating
Then Ill stop loving you
And if the dark, when theres no one calling out your name
Well Ill hold you so tight
And Ill whisper to you once again and again
When the snowfalls on the sahara and the sun freezes over
When the mojave red turns into blue
When the musics no longer playing and the faithless stop praying
Ill stop loving you
When the snowfalls on the sahara (oh, oh)
And the sun freezes over
When the mojave red turns into blue (thats a long time)
When my lungs get tired of breathing
And my heart stops its beating
Ill stop loving you
I dont wanna miss a single heartbeat
Sometimes my words get in the way
But I hear your love just fine---
Just fine-----
And its gonna take a long time
When the snowfalls on the sahara and the sun freezes over
When the mojave red turns into blue (thats a long time)
When the musics no longer playing and the faithless stop praying
Ill stop loving you

Safe In The Arms Of Love

My hearts not ready for the rocking chair
I need somebody who really cares
So tired of living solitaire
Someday Im gonna be
Safe in the arms of love
Strip your heart and it starts to snow
Love is a high-wire act I know
Someday Ill find a net below
Someday Im gonna be
Safe in the arms of love
Safe in the arms of love

I want arms that know how to rock me
Safe in the arms of love
I wanna fall and know that love as caught me
Safe in the arms of love
Safe in the arms of love

Want eyes to see me satisfied
Gonna hang my heartaches out to dry
Someday Im gonna be safe in the arms of love
Safe in the arms of love
