I can't keep up with myself,
Or whatever is going on,
I seem stuck in a daze,
A time that's almost gone.
My mind isn't with me,
So open yet asleep,
My nights seem so long,
In the numbness, I can't weep.
My body feels so tired,
I'm letting everything pass me by,
I'm just blindly moving along,
And now I'm wondering why.
I need to wake to my senses,
Once alive, I feel so dead,
No longer feeling warm and comfortable,
I'm consumed in rapid dread.
I know I lost myself,
My sanity is slipping away,
In those broken moments,
Just what are you supposed to say?
Maybe I'm losing my mind,
I know that something isn't right,
I'm sick of holding on for them,
Holding on so god damn tight.
I keep on falling, it's dangerous,
But I don't even care,
They tell me that I'm needed,
Yet they're never there.
So I'm just going to go,
I just want them to let me be,
I'm starting to run,
Because I need to be free.
