This is a map that I listen to when my brain gets all wacky and I don't know whats real. A couple years ago I almost didn't make it, so I made this for me and anyone else that needs it, should the brain act a fool again.
lyrics
I'm in a rut, I'm in one hell
of a phase I'm going
Down, down, down
You can check my pulse,
I'm animated but a shell
There's a draft in here
I've slowed way down
And I've lost myself
Almost forgot how to say...
This is not where you end
This is only resting
You will wake again
Just know, just know, you know
This is not where you end
This is only resting
When you wake again
You'll up and GTFO
Until then, hold down the fort
When the mind starts to distort
When you get to the point where there's no point anymore
and you can't care, nothing's worth anything
I know it well
Consistent instability
Don't you give up now
This is not where you end
This is only resting
You will wake again
Just know, just know, you know
This is not where you end
This is only resting
When you wake again
You'll up and GTFO
They say
Happiness is an illusion
Can you tell me what isn't?
That said, depression may well be
Just a sad soup of chemicals in our heads
Maybe science
Could point out signs
To the exit
In our minds
This is not where you end
This is only resting
You will wake again
you know
This is not where you end
This is only resting
When you wake again
Just know
This is not where you end
This is only resting
You will wake again
This is not where you end
You will wake again
