Minus Something

And there's been a lot of upsetting, very upsetting things
 That I can't allow to happen anymore
 I have to be like a soldier and march away
 'Cause I'm very delicate in a lot of ways
 And things get to me, and affect me in a very adverse manner
 I don't need that, don't need that
 I feel now like "minus something", you know, I feel faded
 I don't feel like I'm all here
 And I think it'll come back, I hope it'll come back
 There's like a lot of color missing from the way I feel
 And from my face, and, you know, just everything
 There's some kind of zest, or some kind of life, you know
 That seems to be faded temporarily
 Because I've been so drained, emotionally, by a number of things
 That has to slowly build back up, and then, it has to be kept sustained
 It cannot be allowed to be diminished
