With Myself

Losing my mind
Telling lies
Over and over saying "I'm fine"

When I close my eyes I know I'm nowhere
No one can find me, no one can see me
I keep screaming but nobody can hear
I'm the only one that's near

It's with myself that I lay down to cry
It's with myself I eat to get by
And it's by myself I'll die

I'm not an "X" on the map
I'm no treasure
You won't find me cause you have your eyes on something better
