lyrics

Cocooned in my duvet for
most of the week
My Appetite’s gone no desire to speak
the brain’s achilles heel
undermines all
Boosts your self worth then
sets you up to fall
Cheer up old boy stiff upper lip
You ‘ve no fuckin clue to my mindset
Black dog
suffocating me he just won’t leave
Black dog
welcome to my disease

CH
What’s my purpose here on earth
Evaluating my life’s worth
It sweeps over me in waves
Non existence is what I crave
Break my leg receive get well cards
But mental health’s met
with disregard
Stifled silence that
burdens the strain
Fight the stigma concealing the pain

Hello How you doing? I’m fine
but that’s a lie
Emotionally drained inside
I wanna die
I’ve been learning lots of
coping mechanism tricks
Here boy, invisible stick
go fetch it, go fetch it
With proper support I’m a
functional human being
But the focus on the negative is all you’re seeing
Black dog
Please understand I’m really fucking trying
Black dog
weigh the balance between loved ones and dying

CH

It’s back
Another attack
That sinking feeling
everything turns grey
Please keep fighting please keep living
You need to break out of this
subconscious prison
No need to be perfect
your life is worth it
show love and support to those who deserve it
