Mindful MC's - Depression (feat. Alanna Penney) Lyrics

(Harmonizing vocals)

Depression what you make of it
Depression what your take on it (Ay)

Expression our escape from it (Woo)
Take away the lows
Make it through the woes

Depression what you make of it (Uh)
Depression what your take on it

Expression our escape from it
Take away the lows
Make it through the woes

My take on depression, I use expression
Focus on blessin', trauma teach lesson
Growth is my essence, music my weapon
Hear my confession

Ever felt low, angry to let go
Detached like velcro
Echo echo echo that smile in

I felt so low, nothing to do
Nowhere to go, no one was home
I was alone with emotions drowning in oceans of worries and fear

A flurry of tears, is anyone here
Is anyone there, does anyone love me
Anyone care
Can anyone see me behind this blank stare
Are they aware

Retro retro re retrospect
Jumping jacks for just half a sec
Smash my quest to find happiness

In full effect to just walk these steps
Weeks progressed the other half I slept
(And I didn't get up and I didn't give up)

Scared to be cripplin' alone
Sitting in agony whistling at home (whistle)
Thinkin bout the lows, thinking bout the regrets I loathe
(I don't even know)

So many we suffer in silence
Hurting ourselves and inflicting the violence
So many we suffer alone
Stay in bed and don't pick up the phone

Depression what you make of it (hey)
Depression what your take on it (yeah)

Expression our escape from it (no)
Take away the lows
Make it through the woes

Depression what you make of it (oh yea)
Depression what your take on it (oh yea)

Expression our escape from it (oh yea)
Take away the lows
Make it through the woes

Some days I'm so freaking crazy
Losing my mind as i'm counting the seconds and
Feelin' low make me lazy
Laying around like I'm not in the present cause
I just want to go to sleep yeah

I don't wanna be disturbed but
I be bored of counting sheep and
Wish I could be like the rest of the herd

Barely standing on my feet yeah
I need some help but ain't nobody there
Trying not to fall too deep I'm

Treading the water I'm tired of the thirst
The hills of trauma are steep yeah

I need some clarity everything blurred
With all my might and will I leap yeah
Now I'ma fly like a bird

(harmonizing vocals)

Pacing back and forth, depression
Pacing back and forth, compression
Pacing back and forth, obsession
Pacing back and forth, possession

Leave me alone,
Get outta my home
Get outta my dome

Stuck in my head
Stuck in my bed
Never felt more alone

Drivin' not driven
Alive not livin'
Fine but not feelin'
Rhymes but no reason

Is it the season
Or my time to go
My life I'm grievin'
Please heal my soul

I don't wanna go
I don't wanna leave
I don't wanna die
I don't wanna go
I don't wanna leave
I don't wanna die no

Depression what you make of it
Depression what your take on it

Expression our escape from it
Take away the lows
Make it through the woes

Depression what you make of it
Depression what your take on it

Expression our escape from it
Take away the lows
Make it through the woes
