Trapped inside my own mind
Twisted and turning thoughts
Nothing makes sense anymore
The world comes at a cost
The voices screaming so loud
But none can ever agree
What choices do I need to make
To regain a little bit of sanity
Pressure builds and overflows
People say that it is nothing
They look from the outside
And think that they can know me
But the pain is inside my head
And it will not let me go
The bindings of a misery
That confine my darkening soul
Twisting, turning, never letting go
The pains and miseries that are me
The world smiles and says ok
But my chains are those unseen
Twisting, turning, never letting go
Emotions from deep within
These shackles that bind my mind
The darkness has become my friend
This is my sanctuary of insanity
In the depths of my crumbling mind
Come walk if you dare with me
Do not be afraid of what you find
I stand on the edge about to fall
Into the abyss of nothingness
It’s only the precipice of my mind
Can you handle the blackness
