The Depression Shuffle

[Verse 1]
Loosen your belt so you can breathe
Open your eyes unclench your teeth
Pick at your nails and underneath
You have all the time that you need
Don't listen to them they are not here
Shove your headphones deeper into your ears
Fetal is the position of the year
Hold close and it might just disappear
You are winning

[Chorus]
Don't look at me just catch your breath
Touch me now and you might just lose a hand
Do not assume you are exempt
From what we call the depression shuffle
Hey

[Verse 2]
Count all of the scars across your hands
If that doesn't work just take your meds
If all else fails you can try to sleep
Don't listen to them, they are not me
It's a lie but think this too shall pass
Otherwise you'll end up on your ass
This is your life now, just try to float
Don't trust love, she'll always sink your boat

[Chorus]
Don't look at me just catch your breath
Touch me now and you might just lose a hand
Do not assume you are exempt
From what we call the depression shuffle
Hey
