Phantasm

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.
