The water keeps rising and I keep dying
I'm clawing to the surface , the chains at my feet keep me from leaving
The air is gone and darkness takes me
I open my eyes and see I'm above ground
but I'm still drowning

Be my wings so I can rip them off
Be my wings in order for me to fall
Be my wings to stop me from flying  
And I'll be your ground to let you go

Let's make a deal
If a roll a die and it lands on 6 I'll spill everything like one
spills blood if you angle it wrong
If I roll anything else I'll lock it away along with my insecurities
Boy never get tired of those

Rolls die and slow mo starts, with the camera zooming in on the cube as if the outcome actually matters

Oh look at that a 6
Guess someone is confessing tonight
Never said who I would spill it to

Hey lower being, time for reason 4562 of why I'm a terrible person

Let's write about something else
With words such as success,
school, friendship, family
just anything else
what is the point of writing if it's always the same thing
I erase and erase, the words won't leave
vampire, fangs, sauce, democrats, hemicorporectomy
anything else, please
it's laughable
I'm trying to avoid writing about the same thing
but it never changes

When I was a kid and scared of thunder
My mom use to tell me that lighting was God taking pictures
The static of our palms meeting is a lot like lighting
Never knew pictures could ****

The things we do for love
Aren't the things we do for others

I think many people confused sadness with depression
In an age where it is a competition to see who has it tougher
Who tried to **** themselves more
How many relatives and friends died around you
Whoever cries the most wins
As if troubled lives will pave the way to success
Whoever is sad is treasured because they might have the potential to be the next big hit

Sadness is getting a bad quiz grade
Sadness is teenage angst
Sadness is rejections by the boy you kinda accidentally met eyes with a couple of times

Life is full of ups and downs
It is statistically and scientifically impossible to be happy for all your life
You have to go down at some point , just like you have to go up

Sadness is knowing you'll get back up

Depression is something else entirely

Sadness is not knowing you'll be happy , you just don't know how
Sadness is not something you carve into your skin
Sadness is not pretending to be dead while your thoughts wreak havoc inside your mind, leaving it a battlefield

Depression is sitting in the back of a huge auditorium trying to watch what's going on stage but all you can do is zoom in to blurred images
Depression is not ending your life because it's too difficult
Depression is thinking you don't have a life to end

Understand the differences
