DESCRIPTION:
Stronger (secret sickness) ..a lot of people including myself have invisible illnesses (an illness that doesn't have any visible symptoms). I speak to a lot of people with these illnesses and often find they are too afraid to talk about it or when they do people don't believe them or tell them it must be in their head. So this is a song for all those people to help them keep strong when they feel like crap and also to educate people that just because you can't see it doesn't mean it isn't there. ..

I will record a better version soon.

Lyrics...


my secret sickness is hidden from the world
noone can see it and nobody really cares
and would they notice i was lying on the floor
staring into space wondering what im living for


my secret sickness is not one you can see
if you look behind my smile youll see the pain inside of me
you might just notice if you look deep in my eyes
im hurting on the inside and the outsides a disguise

but oh , ill get stronger
stronger than ive ever been
oh , ill get stronger
and beat the secret sickness hidden deep within

some people tell you that its all inside your head
you wish theyd listen to the things tht you have said
and all the days that you had cried alone in bed
you really hope that there is better things ahead

and when you think about the way things were before
when you were happy to go out your own front door
when you could sleep so nice and soundly through the night
but now you know each day just means another fight

but oh, ill get stronger
stronger than ive ever been
oh, ill get stronger
and beat the secret sickness hidden deep within

and i know that i cant go back now
but would i want to even if i knew how
because you need to know
that this is who i am
i hope that you accept it my friend

my secret sickness will not define my life
ive fought through toil and fought through misery and strife
and i come out winning on the other side
maybe one day my sickness i wont have to hide

and oh , i know that i am stronger
stronger than ive ever been
and oh ill keep getting stronger
and one day ill beat the sickness hidden inside me
