my heart when I try to join in a conversation and no one hears me so I slowly stop talking, getting quieter and quieter into silence.

Depression is numbness
Anxiety is pain
When they are mixed
It is like fire and rain
Except the fire never goes out
And the rain only becomes heavier

Maybe the oceans crashing with the shore isn't the issue
Maybe it's our need to deny anything that's different
Maybe the winds of this world against our souls isn't the issue
Maybe it's our need to blow against the wind

I remember getting teased as a kid
'Cause at the place that we lived
We never had it easy, believe me
But that don't excuse the things that we did
Wouldn't accept that I was never accepted
Shed so many tears like I fell in depression
But if I changed, I wouldn't get called names
But it was all the same, I was feeling rejected

Yeah, it's hilarious, ain't it?
You'll spend the rest of your life in my backyard or back of my mind, depends how you see it
Put the shovel away, time to go back in the house now, you'll be out in a week
Tellin' me you want your room back, that's funny, what, you ain't got nowhere to sleep?
I'ma just look out the window and laugh at you, this is crazy to me
'Cause I thought you had me in prison this whole time, but I'm the one holdin' the keys

"is a wonderful place...
         but nothing but thorns grow there.

when you know you cannot change things by loving them harder.

I stopped explaining myself when I realized people only understand from their level of perception.

and I hate how you made me question myself when the problem was you all along.
