I need help

I can't leave, I can't breathe

I see my way out but I'm in too deep to care

Emotionless, I feel myself about to break

Self-destruction, self-corruption

This life I know, this life I hate

With each passing day my outlets slip away

I believe the lies and I dig myself in deeper


[Chorus]

I play a daily game of tug-of-war

What's in my heart, what's on my mind

Not weighing circumstances

Passing blindly by my chances

Knowing some day I might die

In the silence of my nightmare no one else can hear me scream

No one else knows what I need

No one else believes

I could die and not care

I need something to set me free


[Chorus]

Reflections from my past that seem so unreal to me

I'm out of touch, I can no longer feel me

My heart is sick and my mind is reeling

Don't know myself, don't know why I still don't care

I'm the only one that's playing

And I'm the only one that's playing

The more I struggle, the more I lose

I dig myself in deeper and still don't care


[Chorus]

Then the moment comes when you reach for my heart

But I know it's too hard to find
