| Struggling to open my eyes
|
| The feeling I’ve long despised
|
| Desperately feeling the walls come crumbling down
|
| I played the game and held this back
|
| I always feared my will would crack
|
| And the shame would fit me like a perfect crown
|
| The shame I felt
|
| I buried it deep inside
|
| Consuming me
|
| How can I breathe?
|
| How can I see an end when regret consumes and overloads my mind?
|
| How can I move?
|
| How can I start again when these
|
| visions haunt me like a twisted dream?
|
| Wearing the past like a weight
|
| Keeping me held in this state
|
| Relapses hitting me one by one in line
|
| I’ve reached the point of no return
|
| I always thought my heart would learn
|
| To fight the urge to drag me down another time
|
| The pain I felt
|
| It’s all rushing back to me
|
| It just won’t end
|
| How can I breathe?
|
| How can I see an end when regret consumes and overloads my mind?
|
| How can I move?
|
| How can I start again when these
|
| visions haunt me like a twisted dream?
|
| (Thought I’d conquered)
|
| The deafening silence
|
| The ticking of the clock
|
| (Mind it wanders)
|
| Back and forth
|
| Between what’s real or not
|
| (Pain it hurt me)
|
| Over and over
|
| I’m feeling it flooding back
|
| (Over and over and over again)
|
| Pulling me under again
|
| And now it haunts me in my dreams
|
| (Dreams and nightmares)
|
| Nothing’s really ever as it seems
|
| (Seems it should be)
|
| I thought I put it all to rest
|
| (All to rest now)
|
| But now it’s taken me over again
|
| How can I breathe?
|
| How can I see an end when regret consumes and overloads my mind?
|
| How can I move?
|
| How can I start again when these
|
| visions haunt me like a twisted dream? |
