You're cheating on me with depression
I've seen her evil way, and I know
her deception and ability
to linger on and stultify one's mind
Insidious is her occupation
I never saw a craft so finely honed
but her mystifying aptitude
can quickly become tight and overwhelming
Why won't you leave her tomorrow?
I'll give her one last night to have her way
for I miss you, and I love you
and when you come back, I'll know just what to say
If you won't go I'll have to kill her
I'll leave her bloody corpse for all the rest
so that anger, and jealousy, dejection, and bewilderment
can witness the consequence

you just know how hard to hit me in the gut sometimes.... i'm sure one day i'll thank you for this one, xoxo
I felt the punch too, tears before breakfast, that won't do.
Ah, that was a lovely track and the lyrics are so spot on! I especially like the last verse - 'If you won't go I'll have to kill her
I'll leave her bloody corpse for all the rest
so that anger, and jealousy, dejection, and bewilderment
can witness the consequence'
You made my day with this one Brother! Thanks!
I barely knew what to say about it merz, so said nothing save transcribing the lyrics; the looong last lines are tremendous. It was after the comments at yours regarding a song on the subject, I just scoped out my itunes & the only one with the big D word was this - cool or what?.
hey, that was my comment! : )
thank god for music and other people's abilities to express what others of us feel. maybe that's the key to how to get through it all--we have to do it together.
ah yes, so it was, the 'who?' eluded me at the time. You're right, I'm certain - going it alone (or even nearly alone) is the roughest of rocky roads; here be dragons.
*dance* lyrics! Depression a she hey?
yes well... it could equally be a he I guess, depending on which the writer's lover is likely to be spending time with. Sung by a woman here, so take yer pick.
andy, i think something might be wrong with the file. it only plays the first few seconds of the song (after i downloaded it) and in my downloader thing it says its only 191kb big, which is way too small, i think.
that's odd, must be the free webhost cutting the connection before it's finished, happened to me after 2.2MB, but played fine from the page here. I tried once again & it dloaded fine, so maybe they're being dos'd (again) ?. It's not the file, but the server dropping out.
i'll try it again. thanks.
