In our mind a sea of trouble
Waves of grief will drag us down
As problems flow against us
In depression people drown
We must fight to reach the shallows
So that we may catch our breath
Before the tide carries us further
To our inevitable death
For the seabeds lined with bodies
Of those who came before
And took their lives because of problems
Depression carried them from shore
Sometimes theres no solution
No solid lifeline we can find
There are so many people drowning
A sea of trouble in their mind.

In our mind a sea of trouble
Waves of grief will drag us down
As problems flow against us
In depression people drown
We must fight to reach the shallows
So that we may catch our breath
Before the tide carries us further
To our inevitable death
For the seabeds lined with bodies
Of those who came before
And took their lives because of problems
Depression carried them from shore
Sometimes theres no solution
No solid lifeline we can find
There are so many people drowning
A sea of trouble in their mind.
