Can you write a song about depression?
(Verse 1)
I wake up in the morning, but I don't want to face the day
The weight of the world is heavy, I just want to stay in bed
I look into the mirror, but the reflection that I see
Is somebody I don't recognize; is that really me?
(Pre-Chorus)
The darkness and the silence, they surround me like a shroud
I feel like I'm screaming, but my voice won't make a sound
And I'm swimming in an ocean, where there's no land in sight
I'm so tired of this battle, I'm losing the fight
(Chorus)
Depression, you've got me wrapped in chains
In the shadows, I'm fighting to escape
But just when I think I've broken free
You pull me back into the misery
(Verse 2)
Every step feels like a marathon, exhausted to the core
I smile to the outside world, but inside I'm bleeding sore
Moments of joy, like fireworks, bright and bursting loud
Then they disappear, replaced by thick and heavy clouds
(Bridge)
But I know, that deep inside
There's still a fire, that won't be denied
It's flickering, like a distant star
And I'll keep pushing, 'til I'm free from where you are
(Chorus)
Depression, you've got me wrapped in chains
In the shadows, I'm fighting to escape
But just when I think I've broken free
You pull me back into the misery
(Outro)
So I'll keep walking, through this endless night
Keep searching for a ray of light
And even though, it's hard to breathe
Depression, you won't be the end of me
