DIY or (How An IKEA Shelf Pulled Me Out of a Depressive Episode) Lyrics

Today is a pretty good day and I am doing well

Except that I am not

Each and every day I have a semi-decent day

Up until my mind gets caught

But I don't have to be in this depressive episode forever

I've got an idea to help pull me out

And trust me when I say it's clever...

I'll build an IKEA shelf

I'll build an IKEA shelf

I'll build an IKEA shelf

And organize things to help me with my

Steadily declining mental health

Da, da-da-da-da-da-da-da

Da, da-da-da-da

Da, da-da-da-da-da-da-da

Da-da, da-da-da-da

I'll gather all my blu-rays and put them all together

In alphabetical order!

I'll do it by myself because I don't need no help because

I am my own sorter!

Alien, Avengers: Endgame, Baby Driver, Blade Runner

Beauty and the Beast!

(Wait, aren't those swapped?)

Coraline, The Dark Knight, Django Unchained, Finding Nemo

Guardians of the Galaxy!

That's not even close to half of all the movies that I own

But the 2nd verse is getting kinda long so now I'll go back to droning on

About my IKEA shelf! (Da-da-da-da, da)

I'll build an IKEA shelf (Da-da-da-da, da-da)

I'll build an IKEA shelf

To organize things and help me to figure

Out my complicated mental health

I walk into the store

I see a nice man

He tells me about their current sale on pots and pans

I say I want a shelf

That will make me feel good

He starts directing me right to them just like he should

Going up the escalator

Momentary bliss

"Uhh, hey Gabe?"

"What?"

"I can't afford any of these shelves"

I can't believe this!

No IKEA shelf! (Da-da-da-da, da)

No IKEA shelf! (Da-da-da-da, da-da)

No IKEA shelf

For me to organize my blu-rays

And now out the door goes my metal health!

"And so do I, because guess what?"

"What?"

"I'm going to therapy after this"

"Hell yeah"
