​barren - ​start lyrics

I was barely a teenager the first
Time I tried to kill myself

For a long time in my life
I felt like I'd been
Living two different lives
Because the truth is, in the life that only I
See, who I am, who I really am
Is someone who struggles
Intensely with depression
Because there's this pretty
Popular misconception
That depression is just
Being sad when something in
Your life goes wrong
When you break up with your girlfriend
When you lose a loved one
When you don't get the job you wanted
But that's sadness, that's a natural thing
That's a natural human emotion
Real depression isn't being
Sad when something
In you life goes wrong real
Depression is being sad when everything in
Your life was going right

You know, I know what I'm missing out on
But instead, i choose to focus on the
Activities that I can do
For things that I am passionate
About, like scouting, or music
Or comic books

Lesson number one
Never believe a prediction that
Doesn't empower you

(Omen) Don't tell me fucking shit
Stop puling on my strings
I tried telling you before
But you just won't seem to quit
I'm not throwing it
I'm making myself known and
I'm ignoring inside tones
The race just started here we go
I'm not stopping 'till we dead
I'm fucking in
