I feel like something has been taking control

I want to get up but my body cannot move

Something scares me but I don't know what I fear

All I know is that it is keeping me from living

How I wish I found the strength to get out and be free again

but the thought of doing so makes my body freeze

I don't know how to be myself any more

Everything is just too heavy

I don't want to live

my life

inside my head

Take my hand,

please help me leave this broken shell

All of my mistakes re-playing in my head

washing away all the good things that I have done

Trying to see through people's mind

to reassure myself that everything's ok

How I wish I could just stop the overwhelming thoughts in my head

but I always end up worrying

I don't know how to give my mind some rest

Everything is just too heavy

I don't want to live

my life

inside my head

Take my hand,

please help me leave this broken shell

No, stop saying it is all in my head

This prison is real

There is nothing you can do to change the way I feel

I just need you to be patient because

I don't want to live

my life

inside my head

Take my hand,

please help me leave this broken shell

I don't want to live

my life

inside my head

Take my hand,

please help me leave this broken shell
