(Intro)
Yeah. Turn the noise down, it's too loud.
Trapped in a room full of people, still a ghost in the crowd.
They want me to smile, but I'm losing my grip.
The anchor is heavy, I'm sinking the ship.
Yeah.
(Verse 1)
Look at my face, do you see the disguise?
Perfect composure, but terror inside.
Wake up at midnight, my chest is on fire,
My brain is a engine that'll never expire.
It’s telling me things that I don’t want to hear,
It’s feeding my doubts and it’s building my fear.
"You're never enough, you're a burden to all,"
I sit in the dark and I look at the wall.
They tell me to breathe, yeah, they tell me it’s fine,
But they aren't the ones who are trapped in my mind.
It’s a non-stop spiral, a merry-go-round,
I’m screaming for help but there’s never a sound.
The silence is deafening, filling the room,
I try to look up but I only see doom.
I’m fighting a demon that looks just like me,
I lock up the door and I swallow the key.
(Hook)
You don't get it, do ya? (Nah)
Put me in a cage, I can open it.
Got my hands tied, still I'm holding it.
Better run when the temperature drops,
The war in my head and it never stops.
Yeah! The war in my head and it never stops.
(Verse 2)
I try to stay present, I try to stay clear,
But panic is whispering right in my ear.
It tracks all my movements, it follows my steps,
I’m gasping for air but I can't catch my breath.
They look from the outside and say that I’m blessed,
They don't see the wreckage that lives in my chest.
I’m tired of hiding, I’m tired of fake,
I’m wondering how much more pressure I'll take.
The thoughts are like needles, they piece through the skin,
I’m losing the battle that’s raging within.
But I won't give up, no, I won't lay down,
Even if I feel like I'm destined to drown.
I'm broken in pieces, I'm covered in scars,
A prisoner staring out past the steel bars.
(Bridge)
(Yeah, look at me now)
Better run, better hide,
Got a lot on my mind, got a lot left inside.
Ain't nobody gonna tell me what I gotta be,
I'm a problem that I cannot solve. (Yeah!)
(Hook)
You don't get it, do ya? (Nah)
Put me in a cage, I can open it.
Got my hands tied, still I'm holding it.
Better run when the temperature drops,
The war in my head and it never stops.
(Outro)
Yeah, you want to know what the secret is?
The secret is surviving the dark when the weekend hits.
You want to find peace? You gotta fight through the pain.
The war in my head.
Yeah.
(Turn the lights out)
