cold feet beneath the sheets
i close my eyes & try to breathe...
it's 3am & i'm dreaming of who i used to be
before everything fell apart around me
my life is a mess of regrets
& reasons to stay in bed
i still can't escape the voices inside my head
(louder) they're getting louder now
i try to scream, but there's no sound
no one can save me from my anxiety
so i try to sleep but the voices follow
the nightmares become harder to swallow
& i wake up feeling more hollow
just to have it happen all over again tomorrow...
