On the Balance Inbetween

Its bending around my brain
And constricting around my heart
I don't know what I'm supposed to feel
What comes after this part?

I feel locked up and shut down
My body moving on its own
I don't see anyone around
These darkened and heedful moans

Where do I go
When I cant even see
I really need a light
To try and find me

So here I sit
Trapped and forever lost
Maybe one day
I'm willing to pay the cost

Because its worth more 
To be right over there
Knowing what I'm doing
And knowing that I care.
