The affliction is baffling
Overwhelming thoughts appear
Nothing is sacred
All I can feel is fear

Can't break the cycle in my mind
The soul cries out for relief
Racing thoughts are there all the time
Self-pity hasn't ceased

The intention wasn't strong enough
Ruling myself with self-hatred
Cracking a smile is rough
Wishing there wasn't any dread

Judging myself with tear stained eyes
It just so happens that self-pity reigns
Wishing I can turn back time
And forget about the pain

It's pointless trying to fight
The darkness has a hold of the heart
The hell inside can't reach for the light
And save me from the torture inside
