Depression

(Verse 1) Woke up this mornin', sunlight in my face But the shadows linger, in this empty space The world outside is movin', a symphony of sound But all I hear is silence, a hollowness profound (Chorus) This weight upon my chest, it squeezes out the air Can't seem to find the surface, lost in this despair The colors all seem muted, like a faded photograph Apathy's a blanket, smothering any laugh (Verse 2) The mirror shows a stranger, with eyes that used to shine Now they hold a darkness, a reflection of this mind The days bleed into one another, a blur without a beat Just the rhythm of my breathing, a constant, heavy feat (Chorus) This weight upon my chest, it squeezes out the air Can't seem to find the surface, lost in this despair The colors all seem muted, like a faded photograph Apathy's a blanket, smothering any laugh (Bridge) Is there a light out there? A flicker in the night? Or am I just pretending, with all my fading might? The will to keep on going, feels like a distant dream But a tiny voice inside me, whispers, "Hold on, it would seem." (Chorus) This weight upon my chest, it squeezes out the air Can't seem to find the surface, lost in this despair The colors all seem muted, like a faded photograph Apathy's a blanket, smothering any laugh (Outro) But maybe, just maybe, a tiny spark will grow And melt away the shadows, watching hope begin to flow It's a long and winding journey, but I'll keep searching for the light Because even in the darkness, there might be a future, burning bright.
