I once was a Heaver, just like you
Lost in a sea of solemn blue
My boat capsized at an early age
My mind was so detatched I barely remember this stage
Slowly I found my way back to shore
But I sometimes fear I'll end up like before
The night will haunt me still, with things I've overcome
The dark reminds me of what I can still become
So you see, I've had scars where a light is shone
And I've rowed in a sea that was not my own
I have found my breath and now I give it to you
A blot of yellow in your solemn blue

I once was a Heaver, just like you
Lost in a sea of solemn blue
My boat capsized at an early age
My mind was so detatched I barely remember this stage
Slowly I found my way back to shore
But I sometimes fear I'll end up like before
The night will haunt me still, with things I've overcome
The dark reminds me of what I can still become
So you see, I've had scars where a light is shone
And I've rowed in a sea that was not my own
I have found my breath and now I give it to you
A blot of yellow in your solemn blue
I've gone through depression, and I've gotten to know people who have. I hope that I'm able to use this to help others
