Prison of my Mind

Whispers in the dark, shadows as my guide

Lost in the maze of my mind, nowhere to hide

Once I had dreams as bright as the sun

Now I’m just surviving, feeling undone

Laughter echoes distant, faded memories

Living for tomorrow, caught in the tragedies

I wonder if this fear makes me weak, or if it’s just my soul's retreat

Every demon inside, fighting to be free

Is this cowardice or bravery, who’s to say that’s how it should be?

Living on the edge, holding onto what’s left of me

Soothe the panic with the night, drown the pain in fading light

In my solitude, I fight, seeking strength in endless night

Is it mercy or my curse, trapped inside this universe?

In the silence, I must find what’s true, what I am through and through

Remember days when worries were small, shopping at Hot Topic, feeling tall

Now the rivers run dry, the water’s gone, fighting to stay strong by dawn

Society’s machine keeps turning fast, forget what’s real and what will last

Lost in the noise, I feel betrayed, longing for the innocence I betrayed

Is the pain my own design, masochist in a cruel decline?

Addicted to the misery, craving pain, yet wishing to be free

Who’s the coward, who’s the brave? In these shadows, I behave

Clinging to the hope that somehow I will be saved

Soothe the panic with the night, drown the pain in fading light

In my solitude, I fight, seeking strength in endless night

Is it mercy or my curse, trapped inside this universe?

In the silence, I must find what’s true, what I am through and through

Seeking answers in the void, feeling lost, paranoid

Truths I’ve been deceived, illusions I’ve believed

A world of production, blood and dust, betrayed the dream we trust

But still I breathe, I live, I hope—maybe someday I’ll be free

So I carry on alone, fighting to find my home

Waiting for the dawn to show what’s real, what’s unknown

My Lord, my savior, guide me through these fears, help me to be brave or just clear

The path ahead, I’ll face my fate, whatever’s next, I’ll seize my state

Hey, why am I the martyr in this game?

Standing tall, yet feeling the shame

Different feels like a curse they name

But I’m just being real, not playing their fame

Always the right hand, never the front line

Loyalty’s my anchor, I shine in my time

But being different, makes me seem unkind

Judged and condemned, they don’t see my mind

They curse my character, defame my soul

Judge my appearance, try to take control

All I want is to be myself, whole

In a world that’s lost, can’t find the goal

Sorry for being me, I’m walking my own way

Stand for what’s true, I won’t betray

Ignored the trends, I refuse to sway

Sorry for being me, that’s just who I am today

Remember 2011, when we came together

Now all we do is divide, it’s a different weather

Materialistic dreams, we chase in vain

But I won’t fall for the illusion, break the chain

Sorry for being me, I’m tired of the fight

But I’ll keep shining, in my own light

Different’s my strength, not my plight

Sorry for being me, I’ll be alright
