Time to take another pill
A piece of me floats away
I'm not quite numb though
Yes, I still have alot to say
Depression is a nightmare
Of which you cannot wake
Like a demon, it possesses
There's little it won't take
It sneaks up inside of you
Stealing all that you were
Ability to function is gone
Your former life is a blur
It laughs and it mocks you
Degrades you with shame
All that you once used to be
Now will never be the same
You must reach out for help
They convince you your ill
Depression is your disease
The cure is to take this pill
The doctor added one more
You don't feel any better yet
Side effects have just begun
How easy this stage was set
Let us try a brand new drug
You don't feel undepressed
However, you are so relaxed
Finally, your mind can rest
It's so easy giving into them
They have complete control
In order to quiet this demon
They will take over your soul
Slipping in one more tiny pill
It can't matter if you don't care
Total numbness awaiting you
In fact, your so close to there
They have claimed the victory
You have succumbed to numb
Killing the part of your brain
Emotions or demons are from
If you'd fought this by yourself
The battle waging in your head
Would the outcome be different
Either way, you'd still be dead
