Can you see me through the darkness
Can you see me through the gloom
Depression made a home for me
A cell, a tiny room.
Reaching out for answers
I try to quell the pain
Someone stole the sunshine
I'm in the dark again.
There's loved ones all around me
Arms stretched out in aid
Depressions grip is stronger though
It's me that's being played.
Thoughts, they come to haunt me
Keep flashing through my head
You worthless, useless, waste of time
You are better dead.
I'm just a sinking battleship
On a stormy sea of pain
A jellyfish upon a beach
Beneath the acid rain.
This sickness keeps returning
On and off for years
I've fought so many battles
I've shed so many tears.
Yet I shall keep on fighting
As I have no other choice
Ignoring all the madness
And that suicidal voice.
So listen here depression
Put this upon your wall
I'll crush you underneath my heel
And I shall stand up tall.
