There's a thick fog in my soul,

I'm stuck in an empty room.

Long-term depression is my cross to bear,

I look at the world like a shadow.

___

And the sun's rays don't warm me,

My soul hurts, and my heart grows cold.

I'm drowning in the swamp of this darkness,

And I don't expect any more help.

___

The days have merged into a black mass,

I'm losing faith and beauty.

Hopes are a weak flame,

And this light has almost gone out.

___

And the sun's rays don't warm me,

My soul hurts, and my heart grows cold.

I'm drowning in the swamp of this darkness,

And I don't expect any more help.

___

How can I get out of this darkness?

Where can I find strength?

Where can I find rays of hope

To return to life again?

___

And the sun's rays will warm me,

My soul will heal and blossom.

I will climb out of this hole,

And I will return to a new life.

___

Dawn will not come, I know,

Lingering depression is my fate.

I cannot live, love, or create now,

And I cannot overcome this pain now.
