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.....
