Depression! Despair!

From Bad Wiring2019

Lyrics

Depression! Despair!

I haven’t got the leeway to be falling too behind And there's a lot of little warnings in the corners of my mind And there’s a lot of things that need to work with no margin of error So the only thing I see ahead is entropy and terror (Depression! Despair! I'll see you there) (Depression! Despair! I'll see you there) And the list of your convictions is an old outdated loop And then you see the other angle where your concepts all look stupid And you see your broken certainties from oldest up to newest And the things that seem the worst are all the things that seem the truest (Depression! Despair! I'll see you there) (Depression! Despair! I'll see you there) The sun is always shining on rocks in the dark The rocks are always flying and breaking apart (The sun is always shining on rocks in the dark) (The rocks are always flying and breaking apart) And relationships are worthless if it’s not like his or hers And plus my body isn’t perfect and each day it’s getting worse And now the culture these new kids are in is not made for you is it And the stuff you used to love is worse each time that you revisit (Depression! Despair! I'll see you there) (Depression! Despair! I'll see you there) And the garbage piles higher and the relatives are older And the papers to be filed are exploding from the folder And you thought that being shy meant a sweet guy who just needs work But you're quiet and you're awkward and you're also still a jerk (Depression! Despair! I'll see you there) (Depression! Despair! I'll see you there) The sun is always shining on rocks in the dark The rocks are always flying and breaking apart (The sun is always shining on rocks in the dark) (The rocks are always flying and breaking apart) And it’s been a crazy highway to get here from where you started And the ending's out of reach and then you're broke or broken-hearted Like a flower losing petals as the challenge gets more devious You always have to settle for a little less than previous (Depression! Despair! I'll see you there) (Depression! Despair! I'll see you there) And the things you want to do are not the ways where you excel And even factors in your favor have all wavered straight to hell Until the place you thought you held to dig your heels adhere at least Is sliding helpless to the cliff as if the safety brake released (Depression! Despair! I'll see you there) (Depression! Despair! I'll see you there) The sun is always shining on rocks in the dark The rocks are always flying and breaking apart (The sun is always shining on rocks in the dark) (The rocks are always flying and breaking apart) And it even isn’t obvious to take it on the chin When all the ocean is anonymously shaking in the wind Into a million new directions every time you get a bearin' Pulling you and your reflection underwater in the air (Depression! Despair! I'll see you there) (Depression! Despair! I'll see you there) Horrible comparisons of history unfolded If miraculous humanity as really if they told it If we are defiantly proceeding through a maze we feared and hated I am just deciding on a meeting point in case we are separated (Depression! Despair! I'll see you there) (Depression! Despair! I'll see you there) The sun is always shining on rocks in the dark The rocks are always flying and breaking apart (The sun is always shining on rocks in the dark) (The rocks are always flying and breaking apart)
