Depression is all I have.
It’s the one and only thing I know
Straight forward, no doubt in my mind,
I’m so close to ending it all.

And who would care?
Could they give a damn?
The disease I contracted when
I was only seven years old
Has rendered me powerless
Against myself.

And what then?
Could they give a damn?
It’s tough to understand
But I feel the sun going down,
Setting it’s eyes on my horizon,
I feel it pinching beneath my skin.

From that tender age
I pulled myself away, holding
To deliberate seclusion,
Forgetting the moments, passing
My gaze to lost memory
And with the will and the mind,
I'll give into my one wish for satisfaction -
My certain end.

And what then?
I don’t give a damn.
And who would care?
They don’t give a damn.
From that tender age of seven,
I couldn’t give a damn.
Goodnight.
