It's been awhile since I've last cried

Since I've last wanted to end my life

I was finally doing fine

Nothing depressing seemed to cross my mind

But then an old friend came and said hello

A shadow that used to call this place home

It didn't have a face, but it was familiar

When I put the pieces together, it was all linear

Depression as an illness or as an emotion

I don't know which one the shadow has chosen

But it came here and chose to stay

I don't know how long it'll take for it to go away

My brain is so welcoming

That's what it keeps saying

It's hard to ignore

I'm crying on the floor

I see it through my eyes

It's back to haunt my mind

Making me get lost in time

And soon I might wish to die
