Depression
There isn't any injury, there isn't any blood
But in my head I'm suffering, not doing things I should
Every day routine is such a heavy burden
I go to bed and can't get up, my pillows always sodden
A friendly face will ask me "how are you today?"
And deep down within me I scream " just go away"
You see, the pain is in my head, it just won't go away
The demons deep inside there every single day
I go to bed at night time to settle down and rest
And just like a horror movie, the demons are at their best
Nobody would miss me and I could end this pain
Then I wake up in the morning and it all starts off again
I'm sinking ever deeper, please lower down your hand
Please throw me down a lifeline, help me to understand
Am I worthy of this world? I have no more to give
Please offer understanding, give me a chance to live
Be patient, give me time, just be there when I'm in need
And next time when you turn around you'll know that I've been freed
Thank you for your caring and just for being there
I'm conquering my demons just because you cared.
