Life Restrainer

(Matt Cain)

This is about the depression and anxiety I've dealt with throughout my life. It feels as if it restrains me from doing things I know I should be able to do.

I kept it under lock For so fucking long Until I had the strength To write this song To get it off my chest In hopes I'm not alone I can't be the only one To live inside this zone Because it feels like I'm alone Inside a cold, dark room And I need fucking sunlight For this blossom to bloom Its cold in the dark There's no warmth from this weather And if I don't get out soon Then I'm never getting better 20 years old Nowhere to go Just keep getting high Cause I'm feeling low They try and medicate me But it never works What did I do To deserve this curse I know I need help There's never been a doubt So please come to me Cause I'm reaching out For your hand in hopes That you'll help me out I need someone... Anxious and Depressed And I never felt the same I didn't wanna go out So they called me "fucking lame" That only put me down That only fed me rage Can't you see I want out Of this life restraining cage?! Because that's what it feels like. Like there's a lock inside my brain Keeping me all by myself Until I go fucking insane Trying to figure this shit out Trying to make it all work But I don't think I can do it Before I go fucking berserk I've already lost my mind So what else can it do The only thing that's left to take Is the hope I have for you Please don't be like me You won't like it when it ends And you're gonna have to tell Your family and your friends They may not be going through it Or ever in their life But it sure as hell beats Cutting your wrist with a knife I know you want to feel You think that's the only way But if it weren't for friends and family I wouldn't be here today But I don't expect you To understand Just try and help me This is who I am I just wanna scream But that won't make it right It's not gonna help Or end this fight And I don't want to suffer But I know that I am So please just try To understand

Invisible camouflage

By Jessie Doyle


I wrote this song to try and express the importance of being who you really are as a human, what your purpose really is, why your here, and to be honest and genuine, you will feel it if you try to force something to try and define you, it won't feel right, it will be a bit off kilter, be you, and only you, don't try to put on invisible camouflage to fit in with the rest of society's rules and regulations, it may be uncomfortable at first and may get down right ugly, but in the long run you will shine bright and stand tall and be proud.
