Can you hear me?

My anxiety’s taking control, I can’t breathe,

A weight on my chest, I just can’t break free.

Sleepless nights, my mind’s always on the run,

I’d rather be alone than hurt anyone.

I’m trying to fight, but it feels so strong,

The darkness inside is where I don’t belong.

I’m scared to die, but my mind says it’s the way,

Caught in this storm, I can’t find my way.

I draw on a smile to make it through the day,

But at night, it all fades, and the tears wash it away.

I wear a fake face, pretend I’m okay,

But the sadness won’t let me stay in the light of day.

I’m waiting for the moment when the mask will break,

When I’m free of this fire, when I’m free of this ache.

I’m just trying to find the real me,

Sick of the burn inside that won’t set me free.

The fire in my chest, I can’t put it out,

I pour water, but it turns to gasoline, no doubt.

God, can you hear me? I’m begging for peace,

I’m lost in the noise, I just need release.

I’m screaming for help, but I can’t make a sound,

Watching my life pass by, I’m breaking down.

I’m scared to die, but my mind says it’s the way,

Caught in this storm, I can’t find my way.

I draw on a smile to make it through the day,

But at night, it all fades, and the tears wash it away.

I wear a fake face, pretend I’m okay,

But the sadness won’t let me stay in the light of day.

I’m waiting for the moment when the mask will break,

When I’m free of this fire, when I’m free of this ache.

I’m just trying to find the real me,

Sick of the burn inside that won’t set me free.

I’m standing outside myself, watching time slip away,

Screaming for a way out, but nothing can save me today.

God, please, I need you—can’t you hear my cries?

I’m drowning in silence, I’m fading inside.

I wear a fake face, pretend I’m okay,

But the sadness won’t let me stay in the light of day.

I’m waiting for the moment when the mask will break,

When I’m free of this fire, when I’m free of this ache.

I’m just trying to find the real me,

Sick of the burn inside that won’t set me free.

I’m begging for peace, my mind racing in fear,

Please help me, I’m calling, but no one’s here.

God, can you hear me? Please, I need you to hear me.
