This is about winning the fight against the black dog of depression. 
Powerful lapsteel slide guitar blues with a Bowie-esque progressive psychedelic edge. 

I had to write a song about my stint with depression and how I summoned the warrior within me to accept it, to fight it and to overcome it.
So this song is about hope.

<center>LYRICS
Transcending Depression 

A1: 
Depression, you will never defeat me, 
‘Though you may sometimes beat me down, 
And you often mistreat me, 
You will never complete me. 

A2: 
Depression, 
Your like tinnitus ringing in my ears, 
Sometimes you are all I can hear, 
Sometimes you got me frozen in fear, 
But this is my life I can steer. 

A3: 
Depression, 
You prey upon the tired and meek, 
You turn a strong man to wired and weak, 
You are not what I desire or seek, 
Life is never so bleak. 

B: 
Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm 

A4: 
Depression, 
Your time has come to an end, 
May excuses for you I can no longer defend, 
You made me feel like I had no friends, 
You can’t break me because I can bend, 
You are the thing I transcend 
You are the thing I transcend. 

B: 
Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm 

Transcending depression…
