Liberation
They say you should think happy thoughts
but tell me what’s the use
repression is depression, it’s self inflicted abuse
Take a minute before you dismiss this, walk a little in my shoes
If you refuse, the mind is the only thing that you’ll lose
So listen what would you do if you had demons growing inside you
would you let them linger, while they torture your very soul
or face them, destroy them, confrontation is how you console
let them fester and i promise they’ll find a way to control
To corrupt you, and change you, is their primary goal
Look into your brain and you’ll witness the blood stains
of your battered mind, don’t stress there’s still time
Heal those wounds with your head up high
Heal them by figuring which of your thoughts are lies
Liberate yourself from the notions you don’t truly believe
and a day will come where you’ll be happy just like me
