Grasping At Straws
© Morten Maehre, 2022
I know your anxiety eats at your core
And you find no pleasure in life anymore
But please don’t stop fighting with teeth and claws
Keep grasping at straws
Keep grasping at straws
Chorus:
Someday you’ll manage to hang on
And drag yourself to solid ground
Things happen that we don’t plan on
And everything's turned around
Remember we're all more than our flaws
Never stop grasping at straws
Keep grasping at straws
It’s hard not to succumb to your fears
But you won’t do no good if you disappear
I know you're tired, but don't stop fighting with teeth and claws
Keep grasping at straws
Keep grasping at straws
Chorus
Bridge:
When darkness falls, don’t cry or hide
Try to light a fire
Don’t listen to that voice inside
She’s a barefaced liar
Chorus

Oh, this is so beautiful - the melody, vocal, piano, and these gorgeous lyrics. Wow! Love this so much. It's very moving. Glad I stopped by to hear it.

Ooh, was this only unlocked recently? Was surprised to see it lurking in the zong list :) this is great! Really powerful, emotional vocal performance and the piano sounds great and fills out the mix beautifully. Some really unusual chord choices in the bridge, adds to the drama of the song well, it feels like everything is falling apart and then... "you'll manage to hang on" and things come back together with a little hope and possibility remainging.
