Momma, I Can't Knock Them Out.
Don't call it a comeback
My depressions been here for years
I still smoke myself to sleep
And calm my anxiety with 3 or more beers
It's just goes to show
That I should stay in my lane
I stare at the bottom of an empty bottle
Just to focus on something other than pain
I knew it'd come back
I knew it was too good to be true
Depression isn't a state of mind
It's something that controls you
You would think I'd be used to it
And that it'd get a little easier
But I really didn't see this coming
It must be getting sneakier
I don't care about punctuation
I don't give a shit about my grammar
The only reason I'm doing this
Is to try to feel a little better
It used to work, ya know
To keep my demons at bay
Now it's starting to feel like work
Because I have all these people watching what I say
I guess you can say it's my fault
Since I'm the one that posted them online
Maybe I'm just not meant to have something as simple as a peace of mind.
