"Mood Swings" lyrics - MARCUS KING

[Intro:]
And I think that
Is the part of hell that a person in depression really tastes
And the hopelessness, the hopelessness, the terrible hopelessness, terrible hopelessness, the terrible hopelessness, the terrible hopelessness, the terrible hopelessness, terrible hopelessness

Let's take another one, I swear, I'm havin' fun, but I look miserable
'Cause time don't heal no pain, I still feel just the same
'Cause time is standin' still
Draw a smile on every day I've run out of paint
Hold my brush, I'm feelin' faint

[Chorus:]
Feel Iike I can really be myself around you
Mood swings like a pendulum, I can't break loose
Feel like I can really be myself around you

Someday I might find peace I long left behind
I hope you're still here when I do
I know it ain't fair to you, shit that I put you through
My condition is no excuse
I know it won't make much sense, but baby, in my defense
You're the only one I feel safe around
Let me explain myself, it's the first time I've felt like
I'm not runnin' myself into the ground

[Chorus:]
Feel Iike I can really be myself around you
Mood swings like a pendulum, I can't break loose
Feel like I can really be myself around you

[Bridge:]
I've always sacrificed anything that's brought me happiness
For emptiness
But in exchange for my pain I maintain inspiration
Heartache is my medication

[Instrumental break]

[Chorus:]
Feel Iike I can really be myself around you
Mood swings like a pendulum, I can't break loose
Feel like I can really be myself around you

[Outro:]
I feel like I can really be myself around you
