Depression

Yes, I've grown up, I live alone now, have I made it?

Growing up is not succeeding, did you face it?

I've built a life for myself, now can I break it?

for I wanna be the child that I was, carefree and naked

I've lost and won enough now, are we done with the races?

I just wanna run and fall down, and not hate it

I'm not so happy anymore, should I start faking?

My voice is numb, he won't speak. stop shaking

somebody get her the mic. maa, please take it

My mind won't go to sleep, maa. This thought chain, break it

I remember the words to your lullaby, let's remake it

Quick, before I go to bed forever, maa, wake me.


Now, my depression is not a disease, don't start treating

it's a pool of thoughts inside my head & I can't escape it

and mine is not any bigger than hers, please don't weigh it

it's the child of concern showered on me when I didn't need it

it's my confidence and free wild imagination, slowly diminished

it's every memory that I wish wasn't mine, I can't just erase it

it's the weight of infinite lines on my throat that never made it

out, and it won't lift now if I just get up and say it

all out loud to you, for my depression is not today, its belated

not all hope is lost though, depression is kinda overrated

my house is patchy and worn out, it just needs to be painted

my past has murdered my present but my future can always save it

just make me some happy memories, get me a dog and I'll name it (bravo)

so, somebody get her the mic. maa, please take it

my mind is grey and fragile now. once again, raise it

I remember the words to your lullaby, let's remake it

I've been asleep for a while now maa, it's time, wake me
