Run, Run but I'm always near

The thought of will bring you here,

Break you down + cause you tears

Stressed and depressed you feel like you're dead,

you can't get out of bed, not in the mood to even break bread.

You wanna be alone but remember I'm always near,

your conscience will never be cleared as long as I'm still here

I keep you down as you fight to get out

My name is depression and

I'm jealous of your happiness I want you for me

I'm monster born from your insecurities

I'll make you reminisce all your past impurities

Your pain is my pleasure, I'm born from your hate.

As the days go by you try move on and shake.

It's hard but you start to get better each day,

I slowly fade away as I too hard to stay,

you're strong

I'm gone but not forgotten, For the hidden monster will always be inside,

it's all in your mind but it's you who decides what's kept in line
