I battle with depression, but the question still remains
Db
Is this post-traumatic stressing or am I suppressing rage?
B
And my doctor tries to tell me that I'm going through a phase
Bbm Ebm
Yeah, it's not a fucking phase, I just wanna feel okay, okay
Yeah, I struggle with this bullshit every day
Db
And it's probably 'cause my demons simultaneously rage
B Bbm
And it obliterates me, disintegrates me, annihilates me
[Chorus]

Ebm
I think I'm going nowhere like a rat trapped in a maze
Db
Every wall that I knocked down is just a wall that I replace
B
I'm in a race against myself, I try to keep a steady pace
Bbm
How the fuck will I escape if I never close my case?
Ebm
Oh my God, I keep on stressing, every second that I waste
Db
Is another second sooner to a blessing I won't take
B
But my therapist will tell me that I'm going through a stage

Yeah, it's not a fucking stage, I just wanna feel okay, okay
Motherfucker, now you got my attention
Db
I need to change a couple things 'cause something is missing
B
And what if I were to lie? Tell you everything is fine
N.C. Ebm
Every single fucking day I get closer to the grave, I am terrified
Db
I fell asleep at the wheel again
Crashed my car just to feel again
B Bbm
It obliterates me, disintegrates me, annihilates me

Praying to a god that you don't believe
Ebm
We're searching for the truth in the lost and found
Ebm Ebm Ebm
So the question I ask is, oh, where the fuck is your god now?
