I'm wide awake

Another pill to try and calm my brain

Won't you take the pain

Take the pain away

I don't think that I'm okay

I'm still fighting fires that remain

The ashes in my head won't let me be

Pull me out from underneath

Or just leave me to be

With the emptiness and insecurity

Searching for my sanity

To keep me on my feet

But it's never

Never quite within my reach

Scared to breathe

When the air fills up my lungs with agony

Have I gone insane

Is there a chance to change?

I don't think that I'm okay

I'm still fighting fires that remain

The ashes in my head won't let me be

Pull me out from underneath

Or just leave me to be

With the emptiness and insecurity

Searching for my sanity

To keep me on my feet

But it's never

Never quite within my reach

No its never

Never within my reach

Brace for the fall

Suffocate these shallow thoughts

Pushed you away

Scared you'd leave me behind

I'm trapped inside this cage of my own mind

Distorted thoughts it's out of my hands

Leave me be while you still can

Pull me out from underneath

Or just leave me to be

With the emptiness and insecurity

Dying for my chance to breathe

The air escaping me

Will it ever

Ever be within my reach?
