There is a department in my heart
that deals with sadness.
This department is non-inclusive
a strict code is adhered to.
This department in my heart
has collected and collated all
The pain, malice, despondency
this broken heart and soul has experienced.
Sadness has my soul in handcuffs
hapless, anxious I retreat into
myself, seclusion, on lockdown
starkest bottled pain is shook.
Harnessed, hardened and shelved
with madness the sadness is in retreat
It'll return though, it has to
It's been called depression
I'm a weather front!
With gladness I'd take the pain
the badness from my heart
and send it away
but there's more room in a broken heart.

There is a department in my heart
that deals with sadness.
This department is non-inclusive

This department in my heart
has collected and collated all
The pain, malice, despondency
this broken heart and soul has experienced.
Sadness has my soul in handcuffs
hapless, anxious I retreat into
myself, seclusion, on lockdown
starkest bottled pain is shook.
Harnessed, hardened and shelved
with madness the sadness is in retreat
It'll return though, it has to
It's been called depression
I'm a weather front!
With gladness I'd take the pain
the badness from my heart
and send it away
but there's more room in a broken heart.
