[Verse 1]
I'd lick the grief right off your lips
You do your eyes like Robert Smith
Sometimes it seems like you won't survive this
And honestly it's terrifying
[Chorus]
Let's go to the corner store and buy some fruit
I would do anything to get you out your room
Just take your medicine and eat some food
I would do anything to get you out your room
[Post-Chorus]
It's so cruel
What your mind can do for no reason
[Verse 2]
I'd take a jump off the fire escape
To make the black dog go away
Alice, I know that you are trying
But that's what makes it terrifying
[Chorus]
Let's go to the corner store and buy some fruit
I would do anything to get you out your room
Just take your medicine and eat some food
I would do anything to get you out your room
[Post-Chorus]
It's so cruel
What your mind can do for no reason
It's so cruel
What your mind can do for no reason

A very special song to me. I wrote this about my best friend. I remember writing that song and feeling so confused and helpless trying to understand depression and what she was going through, and using music as a form of personal catharsis to work through things that felt impossible to work through....
