Here I Can Breathe- understanding depression

 

My heart has flat lined

And feels no joy

There's no light designed

That I enjoy

A smile would crack

My worn face

In strength, I lack

I need grace

My chemistry's off

Stress makes it worse

I see others laugh

I'm way off course

In a sea drowning

Trying to catch my breath

You see me frowning

It's because I feel like death

I float in the pain

As I sleep in bed

Though no rest, again!

I try food instead

And then I walk

To keep my calm

Here I can talk

To God, my balm

Here I can breathe

I can see God's hand

And in my breast

Warmth, He understands

[Verse 1]

My heart has flat lined

And feels no joy

There's no light designed

That I enjoy

A smile would crack

My worn face

In strength, I lack

I need grace

[Pre-Chorus]

My chemistry's off

Stress makes it worse

I see others laugh

I'm way off course

In a sea drowning

Trying to catch my breath

You see me frowning

It's because I feel like death

[Chorus]

Where can I breathe

(To catch my breath)

Where can I breathe

Such anxiety

Clutching my breast

With cold gripping hands

[Verse 2]

I float in the pain

As I sleep in bed

Though no rest, again!

I try food instead

And then I walk

To keep my calm

Here I can talk

To God, my balm

[Pre-Chorus]

My chemistry's off

Stress makes it worse

I see others laugh

I'm way off course

In a sea drowning

Trying to catch my breath

You see me frowning

It's because I feel like death

[Chorus]

Here I can breathe

(Here I can breathe)

Here I can breathe

God's hand is on me

Warmth in my breast

Warmth, He understands

[Bridge]

Here I can talk

To God, my balm

Here I can breathe

And I can see God's hand

When I'm worn thin

He understands

[Final Chorus]

Here I can breathe

(Here I can breathe)

Here I can breathe

God's hand is on me

Warmth in my breast

Warmth, He understands

Here I can breathe

(Here I can breathe)

Here I can breathe

And I can see His hand
