I'm staring in the mirror but I don't know who I see
A stranger in my own skin, begging to be set free
Heavy silence, throbbing in my bones
Dark thoughts whisper loud when I'm all alone
Holding on to something that I cannot grasp
Sleepless nights define me, trapped inside the past
I try to speak, but every breath feels hollow
These scars are inked in chaos, hope is hard to follow
Numb on the surface, but the pain runs deep
Rage is building slowly, secrets I must keep
Lost in my own head, no one sees my fight
It's a fragile kind of darkness creeping in at night
The walls I've built are caving in, I feel them closing fast
A flurry of doubt, it's pounding me, how long can I last?
I'm hoping to regain my poise
A way to drown the fear in my voice
No solace in the quiet of my mind
I'm losing all the hope I can find
I'm standing at the edge, nothing feels real
These demons won't be tamed until I start to heal
I see how I am changing,
Toss and turn, it's unbecoming,
I brought it on myself...
(I'm not the most deserving)
Trapped within my mind how long has it been?
Fighting a losing battle and I'm breaking!
These mental halls I travel are a labyrinth,
Visions haunt me all the times I was lost within,
Not a shred of doubt in my head I'm not worth it,
(I pick, up, the knife, and-)
The walls I've built are caving in, I feel them closing fast
A flurry of doubt, it's pounding me, how long can I last?
I'm hoping to regain my poise
A way to drown the fear in my voice
No solace in the quiet of my mind
I'm losing all the hope I can find
I'm standing at the edge, nothing feels real
These demons won't be tamed until I start to heal
Enough of this pressure, i won't keep it in
My voice rips apart, the shame wears thin
Still tasting the bitter, but my throat won't quit
Rage courses through me, I'm done feeling unfit
I'm hoping to regain my poise
A way to drown the fear in my voice
No solace in the quiet of my mind
I'm losing all the hope I can find
I'm standing at the edge, nothing feels real
These demons won't be tamed until I start to heal
I see the night devour my plea, a cruel reminder I was never whole.
Numbness climbs my skin, regret weeps quietly, scarred in my soul.
