I had the song "Pressure" by Staind in my mind when I wrote this.The beat that it has, goes to this song. I know the lines don't match up exactly, but if it was sang to this song, they would. Words would be stretched. Just wanted to let people know so one line didn't look ridiculously long compared to the next.

I can feel me start to slip
My back feels pain, the cracking whip
Held in bondage by my own mind
Peaceful escape, I can’t find
Lack of control, my insanity
Save me someone, my final plea

Life unravels, it comes undone
Where’s my savior, I need someone
Enemy to my own self
This pain inside, my mental health
Unstable, my state of mind
Reality, I just can’t find

Chorus:
Where was everyone when I needed them
No one to talk to as the light grows dim
Pain can eat at a man and make him grow thin
Emptiness fills my mind and the hurt will finally win

My sadness, turns to hate
My frustration, I can’t sedate
Time to take it to the streets
I’ll show this world who they can’t beat
All you people need to feel my pain
I want to see the blood fall like rain

Who are these men, what have I done
Why’d you stop me, just having fun
These white walls can’t hold me in
Can’t control me, I always win
What’s this needle, cannot stop this rage
My world slows down, just turn the page

Chorus:
Where was everyone when I needed them
No one to talk to as the light grows dim
Pain can eat at a man and make him grow thin
Emptiness fills my mind and the hurt will finally win

I agree w/ Ina. Staind rocks.

My fav lines were:
"My sadness, turns to hate
My frustration, I can’t sedate"
Not sure why exactly...just for some reason I liked them. Awesome write here, Jon.

Staind is awesome.. lots og songs I'm reading lately inspired by awesome songs and artists.  I liked this a lot.  It's not the best I've seen from you, but I enjoyed it just the same.  Nicely done.

great job here keoni. You did well on this one.

I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.
