Depression is dark, cold, crushing and lonely. Yet look through a different scope, the horizon's a beautiful sight. Keep fighting, people!

The rain had been pouring for Awhile now, waters rose to meet you Sinking down below the waves The cool dark blue envelops you, Its crushing embrace seems familiar Awaken, cough up water Upon a cold metal floor Dim red lights illuminate, Shower the metal with luminescent blood It seemed as if the shadows only grew Wandering through hallways, Winding through the murk There's a periscope on a platform Over the quiet din that's humming The looking glass sees what's coming Cautiously approach, footsteps echo Through the scope you see the sky Though the crushing blue can be heard inside The periscope is warm, as if The bright side's not too far away
