Depression is a tricky thing
It wears so many faces
It can change from day to day
And leave all sorts of traces

There's the numb depression
that makes your arms feel sore
It makes you want to stop caring
For yourself any more

There's sad depression
that makes you cry for hours
Runny nose and throbbing head
Everything tastes sour

There's angry depression
that burns your lungs with spite
You snap at those you love the most
Stuck in 'fight or flight'

There's the happy depression that comes when good times end
The drive home from a concert or from hanging out with friends

Which one will I choose today
To go best with my mask
What if I just left them here
Is that too much to ask?
