[Verse 1]
Sadness from loss, sadness from fear
The reasons are many, not always clear
Feelings unwelcome, hard to justify
Admission advised, no weakness implied
Face the source, understand the cause
Realistic in a sense, just take pause
Assess the facts, change what you can
Determine how real, and when it all began
Find the bit of joy you hide
Spur embers of hope, buried deep inside
Find satisfaction, in small things to begin
Wider each day until you start to grin
[Chorus]
Sadness creeps, occupies your soul, into crevices, taking hold
Lonely thoughts, ignite the fire, ever intense, mental mire
Doubting strength, to break the rut, feeling helpless in your gut
Trust survivors, they'll help out, can’t do it alone, still cred no doubt
[Verse 2]
Replaced in time, imprinted forever
New moments, new images, uniquely clever
The mind holds on, to ideas and dwells
Changing tenderness, to hardened shells
Alone while awake, alone in your sleep
Yearning for compassion, pity, you weep
Hunger for acceptance, hoping answers to appear
Move on they say, the direction unclear
Awaken your senses, arouse dormant feelings
Realize your full potential, there are no ceilings
Have faith in you instincts, control what comes next
Guided by wisdom and confidence, savor the effects
[Chorus]
Sadness creeps, occupies your soul, into crevices, taking hold
Lonely thoughts, ignite the fire, ever intense, mental mire
Doubting strength, to break the rut, feeling helpless in your gut
Trust survivors, they'll help out, can’t do it alone, still cred no doubt
[Verse 3]
Deep from within, depression sets in
Not sure where to begin, amidst all the din
Why endure pain, life's not worth living
There's nothing to gain, no use in trying
Control surrendered to demons unleashed
Depression is an addiction, a horrible beast
Within your grasp, there is help at last
Answers within your clasp, if only they are asked
Help all around, disguised as chatter
Distill the sound, hear only what matters
Trust higher powers to be saved from abduction
Deny acceptance, avoid total destruction
[Chorus]
Sadness creeps, occupies your soul, into crevices, taking hold
Lonely thoughts, ignite the fire, ever intense, mental mire
Doubting strength, to break the rut, feeling helpless in your gut
Trust survivors, they'll help out, can’t do it alone, still cred no doubt
