The Depressive Spectrum - Kaonashi

Here’s how to be happy:

Catch the football, win the game

Pass the test, grab diploma

Hug mom, feel empty

Put your passion on hold

Find a cheerleader, fall in love

Sign the paper, buy the house

Fix the tie into a noose

Tie the noose

Show me someone who’s got life figured out

You’re either full of ignorance, or full of doubt

The difference between me and all my friends:

They’ve got time to waste;

I’ve got time to spend

And I spent it all on you

Here’s how to be happy:

Grow your hair out, quit your job

Fight your boss, crash your car

Dump your girlfriend, get evicted

Play some riffs, smoke a cigarette

Drink a beer, listen to Black Flag

Smile through it, and laugh through it

And smile through it, and laugh through it

But the joke’s on me

But the joke’s on me

But the joke’s on me

But the joke’s on me

Punchline straight to the face

Of all the mistakes I can’t erase

And all the high school friends I dropped

Because they didn’t know when to stop

Drunk in Isaac’s living room;

Next thing you know, you’re 32

To live and die in West Chester;

Sorry, I want something better

We’re all on opposite ends

Of the depressive spectrum

We’re all on opposite ends

Of the depressive spectrum

We’re all on opposite ends

Of the depressive spectrum

We’re all on opposite ends
