today I am depressed

today I am depressed
and I don't know what to do 
I've taken all my medicine
but I'm feeling more than blue
nothing's any different
than the day before
how was I to know
what today would have in store

          double my perceptions, doc
          they're not working like they should
          terminal depression
          never does me any good

today I am depressed
and there is no end in sight
might as well go to bed
though it's hours until night
minutes crawl inside me
like a second is an hour
you'd think maybe somehow
depression would lose its power

          but depression's like a cockroach
          whatever you do, it just keeps living
          terminal depression
          knows nothing about forgiving

today I am depressed
covered completely in sorrow
think I'll just hide today
and see what comes tomorrow
