Tick tock tick tock
Goes the sound of the clock
As I'm counting down the seconds, the minutes, and the hours
The weeks the months and even the years
But this darkness inside just wont disappear
The countless walls ive built within my mind
It tears them down everytime,
Breaks its way through
It wants to take control
The drs have given it a name
For the monster within my brain
Depression
Its a mental illness
That they think these pills fix
But all they do is hold it back
Postpone the attack
Its liking pinching a hose
It makes the pressure build up
So when the pills quit working
And the pressures released
Its like a tidal wave coming over me
Just like that. I'm drowning again
Depression keeps winning
Over and over
Its like a never ending cycle
Happy one day
Miserable the next
I laugh and i cry and i laugh and i cry
Some days I almost just want to die
I say almost just almost that I want to die cuz
I'll never choose to end my life
Depression might be winning the battles
But never the war
I'll always keep fighting
I'll stand my ground strong
For my son needs me
And my family too
They will always give me my reason
To never give up
To never back down
To always get back up
No matter how many times depression knock me down
I'll never let it take me out
