    I wrote this song not because I'm depressed, rather I wrote it I suppose for the depressed people out there. It's a song about depression obviously, and thus it runs:

    "Through My Eyes"

    Feeling so left alone
    And I'm
    Feeling so on my own
    And I'm
    Feeling so distanced
    Feeling so bad 'cause
    Everyone seems to feel so confident
    All the confidence I had was spent
    Feeling so down, side effects of no self esteem
    Walk a mile in my shoes and you'll see what I mean
    I've played the part of the quiet guy and it's getting to me
    I've got to have an outlet, there's some way to make you see
    I wanna smash down these walls that are surrounding me
    Just take a look through my eyes and I think you will agree
    Just...

    Chorus

    Take a look through my eyes
    See the world as I see it
    See me never smile
    See me looking so defeated
    See me frowning, feel like I'm drowning
    Watch me walk away
    Watch me walk
    Away

    Not showing my true self
    Left it behind in my room
    Hiding behind a mask
    That looks strangely like a grin
    Never showing my feelings
    But my smile's peeling
    The true me's coming out again
    Living in a world of negativity
    Just trying to get a good hold of
    What's inside of me
    I can't deny
    That I'm crying inside
    Just

    Chorus

    Take a look through my eyes
    See the world as I see it
    See me never smile
    See me looking so defeated
    See me frowning, feel like I'm drowning
    Watch me walk away
    Watch me walk
    Away

    Bridge

    Walking away will make things worse, cause if anything
    It'll only make things inside me stay the same
    Sticking to the shadows, being a recluse just ain't the way
    You say I'd talk to you if I could find the words to say
    Well I found out I'm full of words today
    And you may say I've got problems
    And you may say I'm lost inside
    And you may say I have issues
    But you don't really seem to be listening
    You say that I'm weird cause I don't seem to feel anything
    You say that I'm psycho, because I hardly ever speak
    I would say something, if I knew just what to say
    Seems the more I try to open up the more things stay the same
    You may say this or that, you can talk about me behind my back
    That's alright, just so long that I've expressed myself
    But there's one thing you haven't considered
    Cause you haven't been listening
    Just...

    Chorus (altered)

    Live your life through my eyes
    See the world as I see it
    Through eyes that never smile
    See me looking so spent
    See me drowning, feeling so down and
    Watch me walk away
    Watch me walk
    Away
    See me walk away
    See me walk
    Away

    Bridge

    I can make my life better, it's all up to me
    I know I could do it, if only you'd just help me
    See me through this
    Watch me do this
    Watch the black clouds blow away
    Away

    Chorus (different)

    See me learn to smile
    See me laughing
    See me turn my back
    On a world that once was black and
    See me happy
    And see me
    Blow the clouds away
    Now see me
    Gain back my confidence
    I thought it was gone forever
    See my self esteem return
    Cause now I'm feeling better
    I knew I could do it, this is the proof and
    I found myself today
    Watch the wind of my happiness
    Blow the clouds away
    Away

    Let me know what you think.
