Its all in your head

'Ha ha ha' let's laugh about it
I mean what's that 'depression' shit
It's all in your head
Go out, make friends you are not dead
Be thankful that you are privileged
Trust me
'IT'S ALL IN YOUR HEAD'
Yes, it's all in my head
The darkness, the demons
The heartbreaks and tension
It's all inside
Wrapped with a lack of attention
They throw themselves at me
Come headfirst, when no one can see
They are sneaky, like termites
But you hide them like love bites
Immortal, as always
They are invisible, inexorable
Trust me much more horrible
Than everyone says
So stop judging
Stop telling me how I should feel
I have more problems to deal
And they are not imaginary
The actual word is 'scary'
That's what it is, so listen
To the people you love
Hold their hands tight,
When things get tough.
Hold their hands tight,
When things get tough.

the chinks in our armour

I have given it all, to the voices in my head
telling me i am nothing but a fool
Just a nobody in the sea of nobodies
Pretending to know it all, trying to be cool.

The hardships exist like railroads
They reach way too far but never move
Strech their arms as much they can, and
the eternal silence becomes their groove

The friendships are all temporary
part of the elaborated stunt called life
The myths and the facts preserved inside
like sacred honey inside a beehive

The sweet essence of darkness
the intoxicating presence of destiny
The incompetence, not at all liberating
but an understandable tragedy

We are imposters to our ownself
the symptoms are all so subtle
The chink in our armors are malignant
way too much to win the battle.
