I don’t care if you’re black or you’re white I don’t care if you’re rich or you’re  poor I don’t care how you get all the money you spend when you get what you get at some store I don’t care if you’re nice or you’re mean If you’re tall, short, stocky, fat and or lean I’ll come in like a truck and **** everything up I don’t care who gets to or gets to not see I don’t care if you’re crazy or sane If you’re rotten with riches and fame If you have a great life Some great kids - a great wife I’ll still give you reason for blame Invisible bricks to your feet And thought trains derailing in brain Just one word I can say to shackle you with my shame I’m Depression and I’ll take your name.

Indiscriminate
I said I hated you You said you loved me I guess we both said things we didn't mean I had only just arrived as you were turning to walk away No meeting of the eyes or any spaces in between You said forever I said it'd never Why is it we could never learn to just agree I said I hated you You said you loved me Why do we always say things we do not mean?

Don't say I love you, it just hurts. Don't say I need you, pretend the reverse. You think you're making things better but you're making things worse. I'm not your hunger, I'm not your thirst. Don't pick up the phone whenever I call; say you need nothing, nothing at all. Know that no one will catch you whenever you fall. Believe all of everything or nothing at all. Don't read the letters, don't sing the songs. Play all of the games I can't play along. If you were never there, you can never be gone. If you ever come back, come when you can't stay so long Don't say I love you, it just hurts It may be true, but I'd have to believe it first I'm completely spent, I know my worth Don't say I love you, it just hurts.

Don't
Sometimes I wonder if I'm crazy When I wonder aloud Everyone just tells me that I'm not Sometimes I wish that I was crazy Then I'd have an excuse for all these feelings I've got I don't need anyone to save me Unless the plan involves Some way to save me from myself I don't think anyone would blame me Which is kinda great cause I'm already bad for my own health.. Crazy is as crazy does Keep your feelings to a hush Put your head down; don't look up - Unless you're climbing ladders Rest your feet on other's faces It doesn't really ******* matter Right? Wrong. When I feel that I'm crazy Cause I can see the wrong no else seems to give a hell about I hold like hell to that crazy cause crazy holds on when all the other Less passionate feelings give out I really think I must be crazy There's nothing else that seems Like it could be more true I'm fairly certain I'm crazy Cause if it's not me Then it's definitely you.

Crazy
She wasn't raised by wolves But she could have been The way she howls at the moon And chases away all men She wasn't raised by wolves But you must believe If you try to get too close She will bear all of her teeth It isn't she doesn't trust you Except it is exactly that She wasn't raised by wolves So there's no pack watching her back She wasn't raised by wolves But she might have been To watch her claw and bite at life Every time she remembers when... She wasn't raised by wolves Perhaps she should have been Maybe she'd sleep more peacefully Alone inside her den.

She Wasn't Raised by Wolves
Meaningless *** says "I love you" Cigarettes say "I'm with you til death" ******* says "I'll bring you up" Alcohol says "Baby, just rest." Gossip says "You're accepted" Apathy beats empathy in battle of wits All these things They comfort me Because you never did.

My Comforts
You tell me not to rock the boat But you won't let me in it I've been treading water so **** long I can't stand another minute You're seemingly indifferent 'cept for your hands on hips and frowning Or maybe it's a smile I can't tell because I'm drowning

Don't Rock the Boat
Thankful for hardships, thankful for strife; Thankful for those who have come into my life: to show me the good, and show me the bad how to be happy, how to be sad; Thankful for lessons that have made me stronger For holding out hope when I thought I couldn't hold on any longer Thankful for family and thankful for friends; For knowing which ties to break and which fences to mend; Grateful for failures and faults and misgivings Thankful to know I am human and living Thankful for lies which turn into truth; Thankful to elders who remember their youth; Thankful for times when I think I have nothing; And thankful for realizing that nothing's still something Thankful for memories, dreams, and things still unclear; For things that retreat for a time and then reappear Thankful for those who used to be here And the ability to hold those folks who are still here_ near Thankful for earth, oceans and heavens above Thankful for knowing the meaning of love Thankful to know when I've stolen the sky's blue That I can turn around and give many more thanks just for You.

Gratitude
You light in me a fuse It travels through my body When I explode you act confused You claim my words burn you Perhaps But then what are you playing with me for? Have I no warning label? Have you no common sense? No...we possess merely a desire to light fires and a yearning to make love in the ashes.

My side has the bread Your side has the butter My side has the golf sink Your side has the putter You can't hear the words I can't help but mutter Your side has the animals But my side has the hunters
