I tore my skin
To make the pain fade
Despair a beast
From the darkness
Drags me down into anguish
Holds me here
Holds me here
Inside my skull
I'm paralyzed and
Trapped and suffocating
Choke on things that
I could never say and
Hide it all inside
Some days I run
Try and hide away
Somewhere it can never find me
Some days I am
Frozen with the fear
That it will always find me.
