Trapped Inside of Me
It's 2am in the morning
Fully awake eyes opened wide
Sleep is nigh on impossible
There's too much going on inside
I feel my own blood race through me
Pulse bursting to find a release
Pain hammers hard on my temples
I'm desperate for all this to cease......
Trapped inside of me
Fighting so hard to break free
Fear lives on in me
Fueling my own misery
Running right through me
Fighting so hard to break free
Trapped inside of me
Fueling my own misery
It's 3am in the morning
My mind is awash with my pain
Thoughts are constant and random
I see pictures over again
Sordid depraved unhappy days
My past life replays through my mind
Around and around it goes on
There isn't a pause or rewind......
Trapped inside of me
Fighting so hard to break free
Fear lives on in me
Fueling my own misery
Running right through me
Fighting so hard to break free
Trapped inside of me
Fueling my own misery
It's 4am in the morning
Desperately tired but still awake
Battling hard to stop thinking
Thoughts carry on though, there's no break
Cycling always back in time
Spinning fears that sound out as screams
Picking up speed it's distressing
I'm awake but reliving dreams.....
Trapped inside of me
Fighting so hard to break free
Fear lives on in me
Fueling my own misery
Running right through me
Fighting so hard to break free
Trapped in side of me
Fueling my own misery
It's 5am in the morning
Daybreak brings light at long last
I'm exhausted from lack of sleep
But time for sleeping is now past
My eyes are wanting to close now
My thoughts begin to ease away
But sleep won't help, for dreams taunt me
I have to rise and face the new day.....
