[Intro]
I was barely a teenager the first time I tried to k** myself
[Sampled from Kevin Breel: Confessions of a depressed comic]
For a long time in my life, I felt like I'd been living two different lives
Because the truth is, in the life that only I see, who I am, who I really am, is someone who struggles intensely with depression
Because there's this pretty popular misconception that depression is just being sad when something in your life goes wrong
When you break up with your girlfriend, when you lose a loved one, when you don't get the job you wanted
But that's sadness, that's a natural thing, that's a natural human emotion
Real depression isn't being sad when something in you life goes wrong; real depression is being sad when everything in your life was going right
[Sampled from Sam Berns: My philosophy for a happy life]
You know, I know what I'm missing out on
But instead, I choose to focus on the activities that I can do for things that I am pa**ionate about, like scouting, or music, or comic books
[Sampled from Sean Stephenson: The prison of your mind]
Lesson number one
Never believe a prediction that doesn't empower you
[Verse 1]
(Omen) Don't tell me f**ing sh**
Stop puling on my strings
I tried telling you before
But you just won't seem to quit
I'm not throwing it
I'm making myself known and I'm ignoring inside tones
The race just started here we go
I'm not stopping 'till we dead
I'm f**ing in
