I thought I never could fight back
It slowly turned my world to black
Depression was a cage of bars
Now all that’s left is the scars
I spent years locked away
After time my will decayed
I never dared to take a stand
Too scared to take a helping hand
I don’t think I’ll ever forget
The silence that I still regret
Locked inside my cold abyss
A lonely world free of bliss
But now I can sound the alarm
And I can speak, my mind disarm
These years of pain I can’t take back
But I could dodge the next attack
It took forever but I have learned
That my courage hasn’t burned
I know the scars may never fade
But I don’t have to take that blade

I thought I never could fight back
It slowly turned my world to black
Depression was a cage of bars
Now all that’s left is the scars
I spent years locked away
After time my will decayed
I never dared to take a stand
Too scared to take a helping hand
I don’t think I’ll ever forget
The silence that I still regret
Locked inside my cold abyss
A lonely world free of bliss
But now I can sound the alarm
And I can speak, my mind disarm
These years of pain I can’t take back
But I could dodge the next attack
It took forever but I have learned
That my courage hasn’t burned
I know the scars may never fade
But I don’t have to take that blade
