Escape

Somedays I wake up Can't hardly breath
I'm slowly drowning Waves crashing over me
My guilt overcomes me I'm dying inside
From the pain and anger There's nowhere to hide
I'm lost and broken With no hope in sight
Heartbroke and lonely Consumed with fright
I open my mouth Try to scream
No sound will come out It feels like a dream
I've been forgotten Cast to the side
How do I get off This rollercoaster ride
From this nightmare I must awake 
I'm constantly trying To plan my escape
