[Verse 1]
Travels through my veins, poisoning my soul
Makes me hate myself, makes my anger blow
Suffocates the hope, eats away my will
Traps in all the hate
Depression

[Chorus]
And I don't wanna feel this way, but I can't stop it at all
And I don't wanna hurt no more, but I can't stop it at all
And I don't wanna lie here numb, but I can't stop it at all
And I don't wanna have to give in, but I can't stop it at all

[Post-Chorus]
Depression, it's got me
I fought it, it whupped me
Depression and anguish, the poison's inside me

[Chorus]
Why can't I just make it end? I'm tired of feeling this way
Why can't it just let me be? I'm tired of feeling this way
Why can't I just have a break? I'm tired of feeling this way
Why can't it just go away? I'm tired of feeling this

[Post-Chorus]
Depression and anguish, the battle can't take this
Depression is poison, the damage is all done
[Bridge]
And I don't deserve this, oh no
And I don't wanna feel this, no
And I don't deserve this, oh no
And I don't wanna feel this, no

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 2]
Digs into my heart, roots sprout through my brain
Plants it's ugly thoughts, growing wild again
Shuts all systems off, locks me in a haze
Traps in all the hate
Depression

[Chorus]
And I don't have the strength to scream, but here it comes again
And I don't have the sense to cry, but here it comes again
And I don't have the will to fight, but here it comes again
And I don't have the choice to quit, and here it comes

[Post-Chorus]
Depression and anguish, the battle can't take this
Depression, the poison, the damage is all done
Depression, it's got me
I fight it, but why me?
Depression and anguish, the poison's inside me
