The Walls of My Mind

I’m stuck here in the walls of my mind Never good enough for anyone, yet they’d swear that I was fine In this valley full of darkness, the sun no longer shines I’m stuck here in the walls of my mind Any happiness I find turns to guilt I try to drink my cares away, but those cares haunt me still A heart can only pour itself, out so many times Before the voids turn into pieces for, the walls of my mind I’m stuck here in the walls of my mind Never good enough for anyone yet they’d swear that I was fine In this valley full of darkness the sun no longer shines I’m stuck here in the walls of my mind I wonder if I’ll live to see a day One in which I don’t just keep repeating my mistakes In the bottle lies my demons yet each sip feels like fate I wonder if I’ll live to see that day I’m stuck here in the walls of my mind Surrounded by these mountains I no longer try to climb The last ember died from the tears I cry I’m in the same place all the time Stuck here in the lonely walls The walls of my mind Yes I’m stuck here in these lonely walls The walls of my mind
