Obstinate Passenger
Melancholy visits in waves
It says, "hello" and digs me a grave
A hedonistic society, I partially blame
Why are all their philosophies
exactly the same?
Perhaps if I migrate, the pain
would suddenly cease
But hell's an obstinate passenger
Hell is a disease
My demons dance so ardently
Stepping on each other's toes
It's when the presence of you
Is gone, my demons start to show
I'll feign a smile, mock the faces
of common-folk expressions
To masquerade a morose dread,
a gratuitous depression
