Growing up, dealing with loss, hardship and finding your way in life is difficult, ‘Do Something’ is written as a letter and reminder that we can take charge of our lives even in the darkest times.
In SFS we have all struggled with addiction one way or another and we are at different stages of working our way through it.
One of the best things about being sober is that you can keep a promise. Lying to yourself is everyday practise while living in addiction and because of that you lose yourself. You make up excuses for why it is ok to act the way you do while really it isn’t. It’s never too late to turn it around though. As soon as you start taking responsibility, things will get better.
‘Do Something’ is our harsh but necessary reminder of that.
lyrics
Last year this time I told my friends that I want to die
Last year this time I was always getting wasted, I’m always high
Last year this time I was always saying next year, always a lie
A years gone by and I’ve been trying to be kinder
I wrote this letter for last year’s mind
Do something, you’re depressed because you’re bored
Do something, you’re depressed because you’re stuck
Do something, You’re depressed because you haven’t got a future
And you haven’t worked for anything you’ve got
What I could’ve done is, what I should’ve done is
Be honest with myself
While I’m trying to forget the sadness in my head
It grows inside
The world you see is who you are
To change the world work on yourself
Learn to provide
So when it’s me against me I remember not to worry
‘Cause next year this will only be a memory
Do something, you’re depressed because you’re bored
Do something, you’re depressed because you’re stuck
Do something, You’re depressed because you haven’t got a future
And you haven’t worked for anything you’ve got
I don’t know why now
I’m always getting high now
Can’t stop getting high now
I should stop getting high now
I’ve spent too much of my life just getting wasted all the time
I’ll try a little harder this time
Figure it out, you’re depressed because you’re bored
Figure it out, you’re depressed because you’re stuck
Figure it out, You’re depressed because you haven’t got a future
And you haven’t worked for anything
