They all wished that you get well
But they sure as hell don't want to
Or they don't know how to help
They're afraid that they might catch what you got
And it's scares them to death when they hear you talking to yourself
Cause they're afraid that those voices in your head might spread
Into their own
They all know that they hang by a thread
And it's so easy to let go
They don't wanna lose their hope so they don't call you anymore
That's why they don't call you anymore


Blurb
: A three-minute song about losing a friend to mental illness and ableism. (The mental illness is unspecified, but there's the line, "they're afraid that those voices in your head might spread / Into their own" so I feel like it could count under the plural umbrella.)

Why is it worth your time?: It's beautiful and sad and painful, about the failings of both the medical system and community support.
