Depression

Why do I think that I'm so rotten?
Why do I wish to be forgotten?
But it fears me to be lost forever
To never have another endeavor
But what can I say when I think this way?
I am the thought that ruins your day

Darkness is slowly creeping in
Reminding me of all of my sins
Why can't the voices just disappear?
I want them to get out of here
My heart is beating fast and I don't know what to do
Will I ever get through?

Maybe I should run away
I would save more lives that way
I am the destruction that you fear
Even you want me out of here
You try to kill me again but I am back in black
I am the trait that you try to hold back

Why can't I be beautiful?
Why can't I be graceful?
I trip and fall on my face
Ruining everybody's grace
I want to bathe
In the holy water of faith

My thoughts are killing me
Why can't I be set free?
I haunt everyone everyday
You all just want me to go away
God, help me now for I am on the prowl
Let's sail away while I screech my howl

I watch as your happiness dies
I'm sorry for whispering those lies
Just wanted to make you feel alive
Guess you will never thrive
I'm sorry for ruining your beautiful life
Let's sail away and end all of this strife

But no one gets out alive
