High School Depression

Months can turn to years 
I could  be talking about love.

Months can turn to years 
I could be talking about depression. 

Years of creative oppression 
in schools that idealize suicide prevention 
Like its a game that\'s easy to play: 
Go to the doctor and get your medication
It\'s our staff\'s job to ensure you maintain dedication 
when our school will make you understand the definition of suffocation. 

I never expected it to be easy  
but I never thought it\'d be this hard
my arms full of faded scars 
wondering if one morning I\'d be lucky enough to get hit by a car.  

I turned my back cause I knew I needed a new start. 

Here I am, and here you aren\'t.
