There’s a place inside my head
and I swear to god it’s dead                                              
or at least it’s dreary, really scary                                  
the things I see and hear.  
            
My worst fears are now unfolding                                      
in my mind the pain is growing                                      
now I’m starting to hate to sleep                            
because that’s when these nightmares creep                    
in the dark spots of my mind                                        
cold and frightening, so unkind.

And all the things I’ve ever wanted                                
are some how now coming true                                    
and I don’t know what to do                                      
cause they’re not like they should be.

‘Cause we’re sitting here, you’re holding me                      
I seem so happy, you must see                                      
and all that I can think of is this                                      
my perfect world of you and me.                                      
I’m thinking things will soon be good                              
my hopes are high, my doubts diminished                        
if only I knew we’d never be finished                                  
we’re happy now and finally                                            
we’ve got what we deserve.

This place holds my deepest thoughts                                  
things I wouldn’t tell a soul                                                
things no one could ever know                                          
dark and secret in my mind.

And I’m lying in a field                                               using my hand as a shield                                              for the sharp rays of the sun                                            
are simply making me go blind.                                        
For some reason I’m not happy                                            
actually this dreams kind-of crappy                                      
and weird things then start to happen                                  
things that I have grown to fear.
            
Rigid lies and hard deceit                                             those with which I can’t compete                                        
I can’t kill these things that lurk here                                    
lurk so deeply in my sleep.

And I’m waiting at the bus stop                                          
for my love to come to me                                                
but it seems that he’s to busy                                            
with this girl, her name is Lizy                                              
to remember that I’m waiting                                            for him to get his dumb ass here.

This place holds my doubts, my dreams                            
things no one could ever see                                              
I can’t understand this me                                                
the one in this place, dark and dreary.

And I’m crying by the phone now                                      
‘cause I heard it all again                                               those dumb messages that scare me                                  
things they say only to hurt me                                                  
things they say that break my heart.                                    
But I’m waiting here, still for him                                          
all in tears, my tears for us                                                  ‘cause I said that I’d forgive him                                        
but it doesn’t seem I trust.

And I know that they’re just nightmares                            
but I don’t know what to do                                              
‘cause they’re getting to me now                                          
they’re making me feel doubts for you.
                                      
And I hope that I can make it                                            
if only I knew I could take it                                                  
take this love, this crazy feeling                                        
make it last for ages on.                                                
‘Cause I know that you too feel it                                          
but I don’t know how to deal with                                          
these things that my head is saying                                      
that you’ve done to change my mind.

In this place inside my head                                            
this place I now am sure is dead                                        
confusion’s reign of lasting pain                                        
is lodging deep within my brain

So for now I’m looking for a way                                          
to get to the world outside                                             but until then I’ll have to hide                                                from all these things I’ve grown to fear.                                            
All these things that just won’t leave me                                  
all these things I just don’t need                                        
to be thinking of right now                                      
because they only make me bleed.

There’s a place where there’s no sleep                              
where the darkest demons creep                                  
where both doubt and dream                                      
aren’t what they seem                                                where I now sit and weep.

No no no. I like the way it came out. It added to it...kinda made me work for it too
I'm surprised no one's yet replied. I liked the raw honesty here. This was really well done.
