The pressure is on
I feel torn
No where to go
Can't step to the flow
It hurts to ponder
Wonder
Why I turned out the way I am
I try the best I can
But it seems like it's not enough
I act tough
Though deep inside I'm unaware
Just exactly why I'm scared
I walk this road all alone
Trying to find a place to call home
My thoughts over reach their bounds
What comes around goes around
Karma has a way to unfold
It's justice prevails I'm told
And I have experienced it first hand
It something I don't quite understand
But it's still there to judge me
Only darkness I can see
Can't escape this spell
I'm living in hell
I cry out to release this pain
But it just won't quite go away
Something is haunting me from the inside
I just feel like I want to cry
Curl up in a ball on my couch and die
My heart weighs heavy with despair
It seems like I'm lost out there
In my insanity I cringe
I can't seem to escape this sin
All along it was my insidious Hyde
Torturing what's left of my mind
