It's being stuck in a dark room
Separated from the light of happiness, by a cruel locked door
That has a small viewing glass for you to see
What lies on the other side,
Within your reach
It's having what seems like an entire ring of keys
To open the door, yet they're all the same key
It's refusing to stand up,
To take advantage of the little bit of light
That shines through the viewing glass for you
The little bit of light that'll show you
You keep recycling the same key
Over and over again
Because you use the dark to see
What is depression?
It's being stuck in a dark room
Separated from the light of happiness, by a cruel locked door
Fitted with a small window just big enough for you to see
What lies on the other side, within your reach
It's having what seems like an entire ring of keys
To open the door, yet they never seem to work
Depression is refusing to stand up,
To take advantage of the little bit of light
That shines through the viewing glass for you
The little bit of light that'll show you
You keep using the same key
Over and over again
Because you use the dark to see
