CAGED

February 11, 2016

Irony is being in a class talking about being depressed

When my own depressive tendencies are constantly suppressed

Stress causes depression, plain and simple

Eliminate the stress and it'll bring out the dimples

 

No, not that easy!

Thinking it is, is just so cheesy

If I lifted the veil on the world around you

You'd get depressed about it too

 

People are inherently evil

Digging for the goodness is a mission of retrieval

It'll never be found so it's a waste of time

Going from fake to real is like walking a fine line

 

The real me is under tight restriction

The amount of Tiffany actually here is an inaccurate depiction

Psychopath is what reads on my phone

Well you imagine being locked up all alone

 

That's how I feel when I can't say what I want

The ghost of regret is what will haunt

Being repressed makes me quite angry

Banging on a cage inside, someone free me

 

When I explode it doesn't come out nice

Not everyone can handle such a high level of bitchy spice

On, off, up and down

I hide the fluctuation by being a clown.
