I hear the voice of depression Maybe you should **** yourself I know it's not one of my confessions Don't listen I advise myself
I know what I've done wrong It plays continuous in a song I am a prisoner inside my head I believe the lies I've fed Every terrible thing said I've made my bed Now it's time to lie in it
I am played by my mind All the bad memories rewind The thoughts I tried not to find Are now in my bind I am left behind In my own cyclical hell I've tried so hard but I fell This is the story I'm to tell
Imagine being a little boy Still obsessed with his toy But then discovering a blade And the feelings that doesn't fade Singing a song that's been made He finds delight in the cuts of his razor blade
Before he knows it he's addicted And suddenly conflicted This isn't what he predicted The pain self-inflicted The cuts are getting deep And the climb is getting steep
Emotion is taking over And I am barely sober I remember October When I thought it was over
I was bleeding and internally crying Probably half way from dying All I remember was the lying Saying I wasn't dying But then I really started trying And I thought peace I was finally finding Only to be left here reminding Depression is still in my sighting
The illness never left I can charge it with life theft But my battle still goes on While I try to sing my song Stand tall be strong They don't need to hear the wrong The fight has been long But I am strong.
