My mind is a prison

Every breathe I take

Every wall I see

Every dark corner I find

Every soul I take

 

Every breathe I take 

Every little breathe 

Makes a world in my mind

Full of crazy things 

 

Every wall I see

Keeps me trapped in my mind

Unable to get out

Locked in a cage of misery 

 

Every dark corner I find

Leads me back to my mind

Every corner I take

Leads me down the same road again

 

Every soul I take

Every body I use

Every heart I break

Each breath I abuse 

 

Do you ever fall

Fall 6 feet below

Drowning in depression 

Pushed around by anxiety 

 

Do you ever cry at night 

Say you’re fine

Pretend you’re alright 

Even tho you want to die

 

Have you ever thought about love

The thought of loving yourself 

Maybe it’s all you need

Or maybe a little help

 

The world brings obstacles 

God brings a clear path

Satin brings hell 

Your mind is all that’s left 

 

Scars up your sleeves

Depression down your thighs 

Anxiety of your face 

Love In Your eyes 

 

Life brings happiness 

Friends bring joy

Maybe all you need 

Is just a boy
