Depression Hurts In my dreams… I hear the whisper of death standing still he slowly strangles the last of my will I awake with a gray haze confusing my skull Lackluster and black, everything dull Continue on? No one tells me how This demon within has taken a vow To destroy my will to fight To take away my sleep filled nights Thoughts that run at incredible speed Verbal assaults on those we most need I sit still in a four dimensional world Hope is lying dead, next to me And to bring hope back I need only take two Xanax. Only through this cycle of medication Will there ever exist vindication For all my guilty sins I don’t care at this point who wins Zoloft fights the Clonopin And the Clonopin fights the Doxepin While both get together with Geodon And turn my brain into fried eggs with ham Making me lose all notion of who I am This depression is causing so much pain As the pills I take alter my brain Although I find I still feel the same Could hope be alive if I had taken cocaine? So many thoughts lead to a panic attack Oh no, I need another Xanax! So that I can again feel relaxed Do I really need doctors watching my back? Why is something like panic attacking me? My only dream was a dream to be free And now I dream of things that can’t be Like love and hope eluding me Death and fear attacking me Depression, slowly taking over me Depression hurts. I went to the woods because I wanted to live life deliberately... |
