You Are Not Alone

I bought (downloaded) a new album from the band Motion City Soundtrack and have just gotten around to really listening to the songs.  I've been a fan for a long time and love all of their music.  It's upbeat, nerdy, and well written.  On this album there is one song that really hit home and came at the perfect time for me.  It's called "It's A Pleasure To Meet You"

You are not alone
We've all had our battles with darkness and shadows
I'm here to let you know
It's a pleasure to meet you

Can you feel it, disappearing
It'll happen, you are not alone
I've been there, I'm still there
Oh, and better

Everything is so damn tragic
Time erodes the waves of panic
Take it in

You are not alone
We've all had our battles with darkness and shadows
I'm here to let you know
It's a pleasure to meet you
Today is all we have
So try for a moment to break from the torment
And sing this to yourself
It's a pleasure to meet you

At a distance
There's a difference
Things will make sense
You are not alone
Got to hold on for the moment
Til the next one

Everything is so damn tragic
Time erodes the waves of panic
Get up

You are not alone
We've all had our battles with darkness and shadows
I'm here to let you know
It's a pleasure to meet you
Today is all we have
So try for a moment to break from the torment
And sing this to yourself
It's a pleasure to meet you

Every damn night for years of my life
I've spent driving around this miserable city
Just looking through windows at people
Alone for an answer or reason to live
But every day since, I've been peeling away
At this counterfeit skin just got in the way
I can see my reflection and clearly can say
It's a pleasure to meet you again

You are not alone
We've all had our battles with darkness and shadows
I'm here to let you know
It's a pleasure to meet you
Today is all we have
So try for a moment to break from the torment
And sing this to yourself
It's a pleasure to meet you

It's a pleasure to meet you
It's a pleasure to meet you

I've been struggling lately, which is no secret, and having been back at work for a few days it's been rough, but it's always good to have a reminder that I'm not alone.  There are tons of people out there battling everyday, some fighting the same battle as me, some fighting their own, but none of us are alone.
