Can’t seem to give it up These things that twist my broken mind Try to see what’s eating me And don’t get left behind The only thing to stop my upward climb Is my steady and systematic mental decline Won’t ever change my ways Where the body leads, the head follows Never will I be filled Can’t let these feelings show Don’t try to bring me up From so far down below Everywhere I look, they’re all I see They are always there, mocking me Maybe I’m just dreaming That everyone I know is haunting me You used to take my offered hand And make me feel like the only one Damn these changes and mental strangers That always make me come undone In my eyes, something that makes you run From the thing I’ve become There’s nothing more I can do I hear laughter everywhere I go Bleeding me, feeding me Until I lose all control And the thing I cannot understand Is the thing I will never know Everywhere I look, they’re all I see They are always there, mocking me Maybe I’m just dreaming That everyone I know is haunting me I’m so far gone now I know the shadow is starting to win Try to see things in me That I just can’t let in My world of light starts to dim And my descent begins |

This rings reminiscent of the book "I never Promised You a Rose Garden...." which I read some years back... check it out, you might enjoy the read.... |
