You could have a parent who passed away

Scared of your appearance as your sad today

Mask it away, that’s what society wants

And it haunts you the castaway

Your ship’s taken hits in battle

But damage is stashed away

And it’s only then exposed

When you pop pills and go escape

So you wonder why there’s addicts

Why we have a mental crisis

People think we’re so dramatic

We don’t get a chance to right the

Ship, every time we trip

The fall is adding to the pain

Then you reach a breaking point

And wish that you became remains

Lot of us are icebergs

You don’t know what’s underneath

Lot of us are icebergs

Floating around incomplete

Missing pieces and the stress

Is causing us to overheat

Soon we’ll all drown in the ocean

Some of us are in too deep

You could be the one who breaks the ice

So much rage but you try to be nice

So much pain can’t see paradise

Shattering and breaking all in sight

Deep inside these anger issues

So much sadness that was built

Self doubt and every rejection

Causes shame and so much guilt

As for you you can’t control it

No one empathizes with you

Nobody comforts consoles it

No one recognizes you

Suffer through more pain than ever

Even if you do inflict it

Live a life with major pressure

Everyday you’re so conflicted

Lot of us are icebergs

You don’t know what’s underneath

Lot of us are icebergs

Floating around incomplete

Missing pieces and the stress

Is causing us to overheat

Soon we’ll all drown in the ocean

Some of us are in too deep

I know i’m an iceberg too

But I‘ll fight with you to float

Every stigma that’s presented

Acting like the largest boat

I know we will never sink

Long as we keep fighting

I know we will never sink

As long as we keep fighting

Lot of us are icebergs

You don’t know what’s underneath

Lot of us are icebergs

Floating around incomplete

Missing pieces and the stress

Is causing us to overheat

Soon we’ll all drown in the ocean

Some of us are in too deep
