Thoughts are racing through my mind
A moment's silence is hard to find.
Legs are shaking, heart is breaking
My sanity is for the taking.
Demons control my body and soul
They took from me what made me whole.
I push them away, ignore what they say
Hoping to keep the voices at bay.
Gone are friends I thought I had
They stay away 'cos they think I'm mad.
I haven't changed, I'm not deranged
My personailty's just rearranged.
I'm all alone in a crowded room
Trying to swallow the feelings of doom.
With a frozen heart, I'm torn apart
I was destined to fail from the start.
