I'm looking around inside of my head
It's looks like everyone here may be dead
Oh wait that's my feelings instead
But you already know that because you have read
The feelings and nightmares I bottle inside
These feelings and nightmares they haunt my whole life
The fact that I've made this far down the line
And still don't seem to have enough time
The lesson I've learn is to believe in myself
I don't know who you are, here I'll put you back on the shelf
I don't open my mind to just those around me
I open it up to the ones who come find me
The ones that are there when I'm hurt and I'm down
They don't pass me by to die on the ground
But the truth to be told is I don't deserve this
I live my life in lie that's so hopeless
That I can't seem to ever escape
But you don't seem to hear me
I guess I will wait
My brain is the jail that I'm captive in
There's one way out and a million ways in
The door that stands between me and my dreams
Hates the person I really want to be
See I lost my sight when I fell for love
But love isn't looked at the as it was
It seems its a word never the less
That four letter word has trapped me in here
My attempts to get out make it only harder
The more I try I just get farther and farther
This illusion I'm in seems to keep changing
The mind of mine just likes to frame me
It's almost as if it's always my fault
When I try to run by, I just seem to get caught
The traps in here are scary and real
There's no where to hide to that will help me feel
Like I'll be alright even thought it's not true
The traps in my brain could also hurt you
See I've ran from my fears for my whole life
Thought it's about time that I stand up and fight
The punches I throw they may not hit
But when I stand back up the fight starts shift
This has lasted for hour, days, and years
But still no one's won but it seems like my fear
Is still in the lead and about to win
But I refuse to give up, I refuse to give in
The more punches I throw the more I start to see
These punches I throw are punches at me
The fear that I have bottled inside
Is a fear of myself that I try to hide.
