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…
