In the thick shadow of my being, I crawl
Encircled by the walls of my own flesh
Like a snake biting its own tail
Prisoner of its own venom
My soul, torn by invisible claws
Drowns in an ocean of sadness
I wear a mask of serenity
But underneath, torments boil
Every heartbeat is a thorn
Planted deep in my consciousness
I am the captive of my own thoughts
Lost in the abyss of my suffering
Memories haunt me like ghosts
Lighting up my nights with a cruel light
I seek peace, but it eludes me
Like a shooting star in the dark night
Every heartbeat is a thorn
Planted deep in my consciousness
I am the captive of my own thoughts
Lost in the abyss of my suffering
I am the vessel of nameless pain
Sailing on a sea of despair
Waves of anguish overwhelm me
Leaving me breathless, hopeless
Every heartbeat is a thorn
Planted deep in my consciousness
I am the captive of my own thoughts
Lost in the abyss of my suffering
