about

Depression is a monster. Keep fighting.

lyrics

From the corner of my eye
Leaves rustle, birds fly
A strange noise rides the breeze
The rattling of my shaky knees

Shake shake shake shake shake shake shake shake
Shake shake shake shake shake shake shake shake

Something's here, it's closing in
This is one fight I cannot win
My blood's cold, I tremble, I sway
My mouth's dry, all I can say is

Hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey
Hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey

Branches snap, it must be tall
I step back, I stumble, I fall
On my knees I shiver and pray
I look up and hear myself say

Hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey
Hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey

When it's black, fight back, fight back, fight back
When it's black, fight back, fight back, fight back

I count the seconds, the minutes, the hours
I cannot move, I'm in its power
The grass is turning crimson red
The shaking of its massive head

Shake shake shake shake shake shake shake shake
Shake shake shake shake shake shake shake shake

Hear its roar, hear its roar
Hear its roar, hear its roar
Hear its roar, hear its roar
Hear its roar, hear its roar

When it's black, fight back, fight back, fight back
Fight back, fight back, fight back, fight back
When it's black, fight back, fight back, fight back
Fight back, fight back, fight back, fight back
When it's black, fight back, fight back, fight back
Fight back, fight back, fight back, fight back
When it's black, fight back, fight back, fight back
Fight back, fight back, fight back, fight back
Fight back, fight back, fight back, fight back
Fight back, fight back, fight back, fight back
