DEPRESSION

HOLLOW

The drugs get me up.

You get me down.

Me and these demons,

we go round and round.

I guess I seem hollow,

it's just a mask I've found.

It goes with my cracked smile

and my laughter's broken sound.

I've cried so many tears,

that I've already drowned.

Now I am floating and dead,

with no sign of dry ground.

I used to look for friends,

but there were none around.

I guess that's okay though,

fewer people to let down.

The queen of misery,

I have a scepter and a crown.

My kingdom is loneliness,

I'm royalty in this town.

I spend my days alone,

so it's easy to get down.

No longer seeking comfort,

or the purpose I've never found.

REWIND

I feel so trapped.

I feel so confined.

I wish I could begin again,

go back and hit rewind.

If I could just do that,

then everything would be fine.

I'd know what not to do.

My life would be sublime.

Rewind and change no flaws,

but this time let me see mine.

I wouldn't waste a single moment,

there would be no free time.

I would scrub and polish my life,

buff it to a deep shine.

I wouldn't lose control again.

I'd keep it on a straight line.

I'd be ambitious and work hard.

I'd be generous and I'd be kind,

if I could have the chance,

to go back and hit rewind.
