I got a new lease on life
The only thing is
Its more expensive than it was the day before

I pay with my emotions
Until I don’t feel my surroundings
I pay with my mentality
Until I cant think of how to take care of myself
And stay healthy.

I got a new lease on life
But the landlord is Depression
And he doesn’t want anything
Other than everything.

I'm stuck in this lease
Ill continue to pay with everything I have
But understand
This lease won't always last

There will be an ending
A day that I don’t have to pay.
A day Depression isn't knocking on my front door
Taking everything I already have
But always asking for more.

I hate this place
And the way its decorated
It leaves me with an uncomfortable feeling.
It's like seeing a terrifying stranger
But being able to recognize their face.

So, I'll lay here and stare and the ceiling
Counting the days I have remaining
As if they were the only days I have left.
Counting them as if I was counting my own breathing.

So soon, Depression
I wont be one of your tenants.
I will move out of this ******* you gave me
I will pack all of my ****
And leave that very second.

I'm just waiting for the day
The day my new lease ends.
That’s the day,
The day my new life begins.
Looking light in the darkness
