They say depression is a weight that pulls you down

but to be honest I've not found that to be true

it grabs me by the lungs, it tries to lift me off this planet

chewing up the final threads that connect me to you



and I've been running out of things to keep me grounded

I'm having trouble finding love that makes me stick

with every song I try to run it down

before it runs me through

everybody's talking 'bout progress

but all I see is



Doom

it follows me around

it drips into my shoes

I feel like I'm the only one who sees the future as a noose

I got them future blues, Satan



If you don't know what I'm going through

I can try to spell it out for you:



Sometimes the sinking starts just thinking 'bout my cel phone

I wonder how I have so many friends but feel alone

I notice how I feel so weightless when it's left at home

and how I fill up every space with content that doesn't leave me content



I start to spiral down through thoughts of population boom

perhaps the cancer starts the second that we leave the womb

it seems the more we're extricated from the food chain,

the more creative time we have

but the less we have to say

it's all



Doom

it follows me around

it drips into my shoes

I feel like I'm the only one who sees the future as a noose

I got them future blues



I understand it now

how a man finds himself on a water tower

raining down helter skelter

sell the whole house for the underground shelter

feel the storm comin

I can't stand still enough to

stop my mind running

I see it play out

this song is a bread crumb, a toast to the empire

enjoy the smell of meat while my feet in the fire

whatever



I know you'd rather dance than understand the wiring

truth is overrated, reality is tiresome

cling to the twos and the fours

dance like I'm talking about how young we are

sounding like Fun.-loving folklore

ignore what I'm saying while I desecrate the #blessed dance floor

hard to articulate the great white fate

the end coming nearer

the writing on the mirror

says



Doom

it follows me around

it drips into my shoes

I feel like I'm the only one who sees the future as a noose

I got them future blues
