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
