Losing My Mind

I know there’s nothing I can do
and nothing I can say
to bring you back to me
Not tomorrow, not today
I hope when you see me
you’re happy with what you find
You know it’s not been easy
losing my naturally/already unsound mind
So send me all your bane
I’m conceding to your game
and I’m sure as was your aim
I’m dying from this pain
here inside of me
I can feel my frail heart
once burning with Love
now burning in Hell
And in my mind there’s a burning
and a slow-churning blade
The pressure in there is rising
and I am feeling jaded
I can feel my fears rising
I’m becoming so afraid
This insanity’s pervaded every fiber 
of who I am
My hope for my life is faded
as the future seems so bleak
Without you in my life
I feel so incomplete
The only love I had
the only love I knew
The only love I’ve ever seen
is the love I found in you
