Feeling alone with your thoughts and struggles can be so hard. I’ve been there. It allows time for those pesky intrusive thoughts to creep up on up us even worse. I’m glad you reached out though. I would very much like to sit and listen if you’re up to talking. What has been causing you so much hurt?

I hear where you’re coming from. Feeling alone can be isolating and consuming, especially when It feels like there’s nobody in your corner. I’m here to listen and support you. What’s been weighing on you?

Wow…yes, Alice in Chains is just a wealth of creativity, and emotional music, and just beautiful songwriting and performances. I never got to see the original line-up with Layne and I miss his voice so much…but I do have to say that William Duvall has done an amazing job of coming in and honoring Layne, but also making his own waves and keeping the vibe of the band intact. (Maybe Linkin Park could take some notes :slight_smile:

Anyway, to your post - I love that lyric as well…It cuts deep when we are depressed and alone…and sometimes we want to be alone and we know it is isn’t healthy, but for that moment, or hour, or day, it is our safe place…but to be trapped in our own minds when we aren’t thinking clearly and are under the grip of depression (the Devil is real and I’m caught in his grip from I Prevail is a TRUTH lyric) - is the worst place to be. We can cry with ourselves, but we can’t dig ourselves out of the hole we are in…the walls are too slippery and the deeper we sink the light at the top of that hole gets smaller and smaller. It’s also like the Avenged Sevenfold lyric also:
Hey, I can’t live in here for another day
Darkness has kept the light concealed
Grim as ever
Hold on to faith as I dig another grave
Meanwhile, the mice endure the wheel
Real as ever
And it seems I’ve been buried alive
