It's dark outside and I feel somewhat alive though in the day I do not thrive I can no longer strive to stick around Most days I just need to be found When everything on the outside is so loud and all I can do is frown And with death I make deals Have you ever been so trapped in your head that most days you wish you were dead have you gone days stuck in your bed Do you know how it feels? When all around you starts to fall And you know you can't stand tall The only thing you say while the room is turning is that your whole world is burning Each time I fall asleep and dream I want a life where I'm on a team or something like that where I mean something in someone else's hell And I know I can't always tell When people are trapped in a cell There isn't a sign or a bell I can't always see the sad meals But I know what it's like for the world to collapse To fall apart around you I know how it feels When its all aflame And you want to burn too...

Burning
It's dark outside and I feel somewhat alive though in the day I do not thrive I can no longer strive to stick around Most days I just need to be found When everything on the outside is so loud and all I can do is frown And with death I make deals Have you ever been so trapped in your head that most days you wish you were dead have you gone days stuck in your bed Do you know how it feels? When all around you starts to fall And you know you can't stand tall The only thing you say while the room is turning is that your whole world is burning Each time I fall asleep and dream I want a life where I'm on a team or something like that where I mean something in someone else's hell And I know I can't always tell When people are trapped in a cell There isn't a sign or a bell I can't always see the sad meals But I know what it's like for the world to collapse To fall apart around you I know how it feels When its all aflame And you want to burn too...
