Howl and weep
all the day long.
Singing the same old sad
melancholy songs.
It’s not the depression
that’s getting you down.
It’s that same situation
that spins you around.
Year after year they’ve been
keeping you here.
With the intension of making
you their prisoner.
Don’t fall for their lies
or for your own petty fears.
You have the command of this
just switch your gears.
Keep your advantage
and your own brave ideas.
Don’t bow down to strangers
in the end they’ll adhere.
Your freedom more precious
than their foolish rules.
Just carry on quietly
and you’ll see this through.
