When all is quiet and I’m stuck in my mind
I’ll cry out for help yet there’s none to find
But my real friends are there by my side
From depression to guilt, no emotions hide
I could free myself and drink a bottle of *****
Or cry myself to sleep until all I do is snooze
I’m so scared of ending up with no one
Scared I’ll get hurt and leave my heart frozen
A huge part of me wants to call it quits already
I continue to fight until I’m actually ready
Ready to give up, I’m ready to kick the bucket.
Remember when she broke our heart locket?
When we gave her our all
You left us all to fall
But we expected this call
You thought you’d be happy forever?
What’d you say to her? Never say never.
Well we’re here for you buddy it’s you and us
What’s wrong? Did you forget? We’re a must.
Well never leave your side
All we do is temporarily hide
But you can never get rid of your emotions
So go ahead drink again. Feel those motions
Well be here when you’re sober and can focus
We’re you’re worst demons like hocus pocus
You found a new one? Worry not she’ll leave
Well listen to all your cries and screams
We’re your real friends. Forget everyone else
We feed off your worries and doubts
Oh great, here come all the shouts
Why do you do that? It doesn’t help.
So go ahead scream, cry, and yelp
You’re just giving us more and more control
Don’t worry we’ll bring an end to your soul
That’s what you want right
Well make your rope extra tight
Let us handle all your problems tonight
You won’t ever have to deal with fright
Off to sleep now, go ahead, goodnight
Okay depression, it’s your turn in the spotlight.
