Springing deep inside, the feeling of hopelessness

Crawling out of the darkness, as it spreads through my being

It grips my heart, making it hard to breathe

It holds my mind hostage, replaying the nightmares within

My throat is at its mercy, deprived from the scream I need

How do I stop this?

Do I want to stop this?

Cos this is the only time I feel fully alive

Being numb always is sometimes a bore

So I lay still and welcome an old frenemy
