You planted seeds of doubt
Then watched them grow
And then when trouble sprouts you act
Like you don't know

Low, way low, way low down
Is where I go
Low, way low, way low down
Is where I go

I've got a pretty smile
And my eyes glow
But sometimes I cannot deny
It's all for show
I've got it figured out
But I don't know
And when it all comes crashing down
I guess I go

Low, way low, way low down
Is where I go
Low, way low, way low down
Is where I go

The devil's advocate, a saying that I've come to loathe. People sway you with negativity, and lead you astray, down a spiral towards death. And once you're there, it's like they never meant to send you tumbling down, into an abyss of self pity brought on by constant negative reinforcement.

The saddest part is, when you truly sink the lowest, those around you don't even know. People go on with their lives like nothing is wrong, when inside they are screaming. Whenever it seems like you've gained an inch, then you get knocked back ten yards.

Depression is a battle raging on all around us. When you least expect it, the enemy strikes, and you're caught off guard, taken captive by fear. You can prepare all you want, but you're always vulnerable, and nothing can stop you from sinking.

This is the daily struggle some of us go through, and we just survive. It's all we can do, when we are taken all the way to the bottom.

But that's just it, isn't it? We survive. Somehow we climb our way up from the bottom. And we continue on. There's always hope, but there's always another devil's advocate. Don't let them take you down.
