Can't sleep at night I don't know what's wrong with me
Demons inside that prey on me endlessly
Each little thought littered with bad memories
Cannot find peace they torment my every dream
People around me think I live normally
Only knowing the things I want them to see
Locking away what's left of my sanity
Myself to hide for no one to ever see
Trusting in myself only to understand
Feelings held close like hiding a poker hand
Sometimes in life I feel like I'm Peter Pan
Living inside my own little Neverland
Society wants me to meet their demands
Step out of line and they only reprimand
Questioning me like I'm on the witness stand
Never offering to lend a helping hand
Hide behind the walls that guard you
Built with these scars old and brand new
Fighting with the demons they taunt
All your courage they try to daunt
Put on your mask they can't see you
All the torment that you've been through
Only let them see what they want
Never the things inside that haunt
Talk to people only to feel like a fraud
Voices inside whisper, please come help me God
On the outside show an air of confidence
On the inside, practicing myself-defense
Slightly smiling, wishing I could run away
Silently hoping I'll be better someday
I'm falling down at night on my knees to pray
Oh, dear God, why do I have to feel this way
Wish that I could hide away within my room
Away from those that don't know only assume
Leave this world behind that only wants to hate
Take a deep breath relax and self medicate
Close my eyes and drift off into soundless sleep
Dream of a place I'm no longer the black sheep
Deep down knowing that's something that'll never be
Cause the demons always will come back for me
Hide behind the walls that guard you
Built with these scars old and brand new
Fighting with the demons they taunt
All your courage they try to daunt
Put on your mask they can't see you
All the torment that you've been through
Only let them see what they want
Never the things inside that haunt
