Ask Me What It Is (Spoken Word) Lyrics

Depression

Ask me what it is

Nah

Maybe don't

Because

I don't have words

To explain it

It is an emotional rollercoaster

It burns your insides like a toaster

You think you understand it

Because of the posters

But depression is sort of an imposter

What do I mean?

It personifies itself as anxiety

You think you are over anxious

Which makes you even more anxious

But then you feel extreme sadness

It sneaks up on you in darkness

And just when you think

You've made it through

It opens up a hole and you fall

Right through

Into

Depression

Ask me what it is

Nah

Maybe don't

Because

I don't have words

To explain it

The emotional kind

You never know is there

Until you take another step

And find your standing over the air

The world around you passes by

In blurs of color and sound

And down you sink into the ground

Into

Depression

Ask me what it is

Nah

Maybe don't

Because

I don't have words

To explain it

The only thing left to do is cry

But the world yells out

Save yourself

Telling you things

About happiness and hope

But they to busy with life to realize

It'll be a lot quick

If they let down a rope

Into

Depression

Ask me what it is

Nah

Maybe don't

Because

I don't have words

To explain it
