Album: Desolate Minds

Waking up to the cold embrace of chills running down my spine
The nightmare races through my head, now I'm spinning around in circles
and no one to hear my cries for help
It always ends the same way, alone in the void
Am I better off asleep or dead?
Because being awake, it hurts too much
I'm falling farther away
from where I wanna be, am I losing grip of my sanity
I hate the way that I have become
Why am I paranoid all the time
I feel alone and I'm sick of the silence

(Chorus)
My mind fades away and I can't escape
All these thoughts in my head and the pain I've faced
I'm so isolated (trapped inside my head again)
Empty and jaded (deeper I descend)

Slow breaths concentrated

I feel trapped by my pain and the thoughts that brought me to this
Why do I feel so stuck
In my own hell, I feel so dead inside
I forgot who I am
But somehow I feel comfort living in the dark
In the shadow of who I used to be
I hear the darkness calling me

(Chorus)
My mind fades away and I can't escape
All these thoughts in my head and the pain I've faced
I'm so isolated (trapped inside my head again)
Empty and jaded (deeper I descend)

(Bridge)
Nervous feelings in my head pushing me to the edge of my seat every time I look over my shoulder
Running circles in my mind racing back-and-forth in time feeling helpless to the slow embrace of pins and needles
Where is my nerve
Get a grip with yourself, plant your feet on the ground
I can't stand firm
Find your center and breathe, before you drown

(Chorus)
My mind fades away and I can't escape
All these thoughts in my head and the pain I've faced
I'm so isolated (trapped inside my head again)
Empty and jaded (deeper I descend)
Claustrophobic
I don't wanna live in this space anymore
Diagnosis
My sanity has been washed out
