More people will call in sick today (first Monday in Feb.) than any other day of the year. “Psychologists claim National Sickie Day is the result of a combination of factors, including bad weather, long, dark nights and the seemingly never-ending wait until summer” (quote from Peter Mooney).

But this song highlights the tension that many who experience depression feel: needing people so badly, but not wanting to be seen as “needy,” they push away the very people who love them while trying to minimize their need for help.

For this song we decided to release the 1st version in its original raw form. It just communicates better that way.

“Apathetic Skies “ lyrics by Patrick Largen

Is it the cold and the haze Or the apathetic skies Breathing sadness in my bones You can see it in my eyes

So just forget about it It’s been some long days Since I’ve seen the sun I’m not thinking straight

Don’t drop your head like that when you walk away It will be okay Yeah I will be okay

All the feelings come and go Like a game of hide and seek Can I borrow yours to know What it feels like to dream

Yeah I’m angry I’m pushing you away And I’ll be alone But I will be okay

So just forget about it It’s been some long days Since I’ve seen the sun I’m not thinking straight

Don’t drop your head like that when you walk away It will be okay Yeah I will be okay
