Depression

The lilies crowd the corners of this room,

White ghosts in every shadowed place.

I breathe them in, but the air is thick,

Your absence filling every space.

Pre-Chorus (haunted, trembling)

I count the petals like lost memories,

Every one a breath I can’t fucking breathe.

The walls close in, the ceiling bends,

And I can’t find the door. When will this end?

Chorus (low, dragging, crushing)

Calla lilies choke the light from me,

White as the grief that will not leave.

I sit in silence, a hollowed shell,

Drowning in the love that still dwells.

Verse 2 (barely restrained, echoing)

Your laugh lingers in every corner,

A shadow I can’t touch, can’t hold.

I sink into the mattress, into the floor,

Into the story that’s grown cold.

Pre-Chorus (soft, near-breaking)

I press a lily to my chest,

Its weight like the words I can’t say.

Time moves slow, a cruel thief,

And I am lost — why must I stay?

Chorus (repeat, heavier but still slow)

Calla lilies choke the light from me,

White as the grief that will not leave.

I sit in silence, a hollowed shell,

Drowning in the love that still dwells.

Bridge (quiet, near-monotone, despairing)

I whisper your name to empty walls,

The petals wilt, the ceiling falls.

If I could fold myself into the flower,

Would it hold me through the hours?

Final Chorus (fade, almost like a sigh)

Calla lilies choke the light from me,

White as the grief that will not leave.

I sit in silence, a hollowed shell…

Drowning, drowning — please come back, please save me…
