Down the Street
Across the street I went
Dotting the lines
And closing my eyes
Sanity in disguise
For when I went across that street
The blood did drip but it didn't seep
But later that day I could still stand on my feet
Across the street is where sad kids go
Where depression can show
I learned about it a while ago
A new way for feelings not to show
I even got to start a bracelet collection
Across the street has no limits
From head to toe
There's nothing stopping you
From where you want to go
So I cross the street
I've created intersections
Boxes going every which way
Saying that I was at the park
Or I'll be okay
Down the street
Where I don't have to cry
I almost went down the lane though
People said I was going insane
Because I could spring a leaky pipe
No turning back after that
But it sounds interesting
Down the street isn't always so fun
Dotting the lines
And closing my eyes
Sanity in disguise
For when I went across that street
The blood did drip but it didn't seep
But later that day I could still stand on my feet
Across the street is where sad kids go
Where depression can show
I learned about it a while ago
A new way for feelings not to show
I even got to start a bracelet collection
Across the street has no limits
From head to toe
There's nothing stopping you
From where you want to go
So I cross the street
I've created intersections
Boxes going every which way
Saying that I was at the park
Or I'll be okay
Down the street
Where I don't have to cry
I almost went down the lane though
People said I was going insane
Because I could spring a leaky pipe
No turning back after that
But it sounds interesting
Down the street isn't always so fun
