Hey, Depression
I see you lurking
And I don't like you none
I'm gonna keep my eye on you, Mr. Serpent
Come take a good look
At the bottom of my boot
I cleaned it just for you
Decompression
Please come infect me
I have learned my lesson
One man can only take so much
Of this wandering
Of Ms. Low Income's tender touch
Of the faces
Of all the names one head can't hold
And the places
I must be wicked
'Cause I can't seem to get no rest
This old crow can't find a nest
Hey there, Darkness
Quit filling up my lonely drives
With your thoughtless
And your deceptive crooked lines
I must walk straight and tall
Believing in an end
In a light that's beautiful
But oh, so very hard to see
When I'm stuck in a tunnel filled with "me"
Yeah
Hey, Deflation
Come hit my head like a brick made of iron
An arbitrary simile
The road has changed me
Made me just like the walking dead
I keep talking
But there's nothing left inside my head
That's of value
That hasn't been utterly misconstrued
There ain't no substance
Nothing adequately processed
That's worth sharing
And yet I'm sharing it with you
So if you've any semblance of wisdom in your soul
No doubt, you'll find
You can disregard my mind
Hey, Defenses
Why are you on the verge of war
With our senses?
This lack of sleep is clouding up my mind
And so I'd like to pose a question
To all those who might yield to Descartes
If I can't think, am I not?
