Why can’t everyone see how broken I am inside? How terrible I am? The monster behind my eyes

My world is falling apart Crashing down around me as life throws one blow after another at me

Sinking, struggling Trying to stay afloat I want so badly to close my eyes let it all go dark and give up

I know you’re scared of the darkness all around of the darkness inside that it will never go away

Deep down inside is a world I don’t show full of darkness without light to cast a shadow

It happens again and again I heard the beauty you made And now I have to speak louder Making my voice heard over yours

I'm so tired of always swimming upstream I want to let the current sweep me away

When the darkness sets in and you don't know where to go Close your eyes and focus There's more to this, you must know

I watch you while you sleep Infecting your dreams You can't run away from me I'm always waiting for you

Every time I make a mistake That mistake creates another vulture circling Hanging there, waiting To remind me of that time I was less than I could be
