The Ones Who Know

[Hook]
It's an attack on yourself from the inside out (yeah)
Four walls closing in and you can't get out
Sits on your shoulder telling you the worst (woah)
Depression hits different when you feel it first

[Verse 2]
Wanting to be alone even though people are the way (yeah)
Barely eating, barely breathing through the day
Can't sleep, can't think, can't wrap your mind around the weight
Waking up and seeing something in the mirror that you hate (woah)
Worthless, different, can't make friends, that's what it says
The voice on your shoulder filling up your head
So you lean on every vice just to kill the sound (yeah)
Smoking, drinking, anything to not go down

[Hook - Variation]
It's an attack on yourself from the inside out (yeah)
Four walls closing in and you can't get out
Sits on your shoulder telling you you're nothing worth (woah)
Depression hits different when you know the worst

[Verse 3]
I seen my way all the way down to the end
Where life felt meaningless and nothing could bend
Thirty-six years of bricks I placed myself (yeah)
Every loss and every scar still on the shelf
But it's when those bricks start cracking that the light gets in
When you finally see the answer hiding deep within
Depression eats you alive but it can't finish what it starts (woah)
Not when you find the one thing it was always hiding from your heart

[Verse 4]
Come to terms with being you, that's where it begins
Not the you the world wants, just the you that's always been
Old or young or different, fat or thin or scarred (yeah)
Happy with yourself is further than it sounds but not that far
When you learn to see yourself without that voice beside (woah)
You buy yourself some time out on the other side
Depression left its marks on me and they still show sometimes
But I'm standing here and that's enough, I own these lines (yeah... I know)

[Outro - quiet, resolved, honest]
Depression is a road...
You gotta walk to understand... (yeah)
Four walls you built yourself...
But you hold the bricks... (woah)
And you can put them down...
You can put them down...
Come to terms with you...
...That's how it ends.
