Keep your chin up, elevated
Don't let it hit you where you are
Try to drown out what they're saying
White noise and distant cars
Ignore the answering machine
Dim the lights and watch TV
A live feed from somewhere broken
Ten more reasons to finally feel you're free
I read it in the back of a magazine
One hundred different ways to get to sleep
But lately my attention fades
Depression is a double edged blade
And I can feel my hands shaking
Keep your chin up, or your head down
Whatever helps hold it together now
Treat yourself with kindness
Practice blindness
Don't pay attention to the sound
When you start to spiral inward
Talk it out, repeat after me
I am doing what I can do
I am doing everything I need
I read it in the back of a magazine
One hundred different ways to get to sleep
But lately my attention fades
Depression is a double edged blade
And I can feel my hands shaking
Could you show me how to shut my eyes
hold me down I'm spinning out on the inside
cause baby I'm a mess these days
Depression is a double-edged blade
And I can't feel my hands
I read it in the back of a magazine. One hundred different ways
Number one, breathe deep if you can
Crack a window and let the air in
Chamomile and peppermint
Lemon oil and melatonin
Put the day away
Let go of everything that haunts you
Forget whatever you hold onto
It can't be as easy as they say
And if you ever start to break
Try again another day
I read it in the back of a magazine
One hundred different ways to get to sleep
But lately my attention fades
Depression is a double edged blade
And I can feel my hands shaking
Could you show me how to shut my eyes
hold me down I'm spinning out on the inside
cause baby I'm a mess these days
Depression is a double-edged blade
And I can't feel my hands at all
