"DEPRESSION"

Depression is no joke
 And never fun
 You could find yourself
 With your hand holding the gun
 End it all right now
 Swoons the demon on your left shoulder
 One pull of the trigger
 And it could be over

You feel so lost
 About to lose your mind
 The pleading of the angel
 On your right
 Trying to save your life
 Oh heaven, a weary soul
 That just wants to let it go

Depression brings tears
 Red rimmed eyes
 A glazed blank focus
 On the steel of the knife
 There can be no hesitation
 Has to end quick
 Thrust into the shattering heart
 Or the throat, a swift slit

Oh heaven, its only the truth
 What else to do
 The road has shown nothing but struggle
 Black and blue
 I've been strong, been fighting
 But just re-open the wounds
 My story is told
 In a cut or a bruise

If I go into the water
 Let me drown and swim free
 Cut off the air
 Until I can't breathe
 I'm atop of the tower
 Said don't look down
 I'll feel my flight
 Then kiss the ground

Kill the depression in me
 Before I give in to defeat
 Walk into oncoming traffic
 And lie in the street
 Kill the depression spirit
 I feel weak
 Life wasn't made
 For the timid or meek

Depression, trapped in the mind
 Screaming do it, go ahead
 Don't you remember last week
 You saw that rope in the shed
 Tie the knot tight
 You have nothing left
 Make sure it won't come loose
 Then put it around your neck

Oh heaven, this pain is too real
 Even the Earth Mother knows how it feels
 Why does it seem like the rest of the world
 is moving and I'm stuck standing still

Depression consumes you
 Becomes hard to escape
 You're at the medicine cabinet
 Wondering how many pills it will take
 Can't find a normal remedy
 That will relieve the ache
 Pop the cap, head back
 Bite down until they break
 The bitter taste
 Oh heaven you wrote
 No more than we can bare
 One after another, swallow
 No more room to care

Depression, in the gloom
 Tomorrow appears grim
 Top off of the bottle
 Cup filled to the brim
 Only a few cold ones
 Turning into too many to count
 Anger and frustration in a drunken haze
 Paranoia at every sudden sound

Now seeing double
 Today was just that bad
 Maybe two more from the case
 Maybe another glass

Fallen out with everyone
 Never meant any harm
 Pull black your sleeves
 Exposing the riddled arm
 Liquid in the needle
 Troubles I can't face
 Pierce the skin
 Straight into the vein

Wait for the wave
 Ride the horse
 Tried and failed
 Can't take anymore
 Kill this, kill it

Its not over yet
 Need a cigarette
 Exhale the smoke
 Just want to be alone
 But then again
 I need you close

Tortured by the sins
 Eating their way in
 Difficult to forget
 Every third thought is of death
 Stagnant in the chest
 Lay it to rest

Lay it to rest
 Kill it now
 Kill the flaw
 Howl until the voice is raw

Kill it, Kill it
 Kill this depression spirit
 Kill it please
 Oh mercy me
