Hanging By A Thread

Depression, the invisible battle;
No one sees it, no one knows it.
Anguish, regret – Life.
There is no easy way out.

Anxiety, the ruthless stress of this age;
Slowly tearing the mind apart.
Panic, pressure – Life.
There is no easy way out.

Life, the meaningless struggle;
People only caring for themselves.
Pointless, futile – Pain.
There is an easy way out,
And it’s never looked any better.
