Panic, pathetic, internal dialogue Dramatic, pragmatic, lack of control Swimming in emotion so thick I cannot breathe Fight against the current, drowning endlessly Make it through another day, make it look alright Hanging on with bony fists, white knuckles, hold on tight Darkness rises, fear takes control Manic depression, my head is a prison Total fixation with isolation Massive regression, my head is a prison Unclean obsession, my annihilation Pills, prescriptions, doctors, chemists, phychs Notes in session, are you feeling alright? Their words, degrees, they don't understand What I'm going through, the madness that I am No end, no cure, no release, must endure Walk it off, talk it out, chin up son it'll be alright It won't be alright Manic depression, my head is a prison Total fixation with isolation Massive regression, my head is a prison Unclean obsession, my annihilation There's a cancer growing inside my soul Fighting me to take control Eating from the inside out Taking form through fear and doubt Manic depression
