They say, "Oh but you seem happy... could you really have depression"? Jeeze, my sincere apologies, I did not realize they made trenchcoats the shade of hopeless desperation I should have shoes that count steps, to project my need to justify why I got out of bed I must have forgotten to cover myself with war paint, to prove to outsiders my internal battle But I will buy lots of velcro, so I can wear the words whispered and screamed by my depression late last night Tell me, did you really believe I could show you by sight The twisted demon that lives inside

depression as a trenchcoat II
They say, "Oh but you seem happy... could you really have depression"? Jeeze, my sincere apologies, I did not realize they made trenchcoats the shade of hopeless desperation I should have shoes that count steps, to project my need to justify why I got out of bed I must have forgotten to cover myself with war paint, to prove to outsiders my internal battle But I will buy lots of velcro, so I can wear the words whispered and screamed by my depression late last night Tell me, did you really believe I could show you by sight The twisted demon that lives inside
