trapped in my own mind
and tortured by my psyche
brain becomes a prison
from which I cannot break free
walls are closing in
mind becomes a cage
turn upon myself
a war I wage
crumble on, still implode
stress just builds
I lose my hold
cannot seem to escape
the pressures from outside
try and try but I just can't hide
what manifests within
must not spill into the outside
so I muffle my own screams
drown out my own cries
crumble in
turn myself inside out
purge myself, still filled with doubt
try to break free
but there's no respite
try to break free
but I just can't fight
