Free Myself from Me.
Part I
[1/21, 23:37]
Will a day come where I no longer need to run, from the fears entrapped in my mind?
Can I just decide to leave them behind? Is the choice even mine to make? Or is this a designated - haunting - punishment by fate?
Whatever the answer
I can't run any faster from the shadows that swallow my mind.
They follow my moves every step of the way - am I a fool for even trying to get away?
This game of hide and seek
I don't know how to play -
wherever I hide they seem to find and no matter how much I seek I feel I n c o m p l e t e.
Will there be an extinction of this sorrow? Or will they be here tomorrow? Waking me with a pressure on my chest.
I promised I'd try my best...
I just don't know how to break out from this intricate mess - Each day I feel -
less and less.
Until the only thing left is this
PRESSURE
on my chest.
But I will still run and fight off the fear of tonight - my stength slowly drying.
They say every cloud has a silver lining? I hope they're right because my precious mind Is slowly
D y i n g.
Part II
I square up with my worthy opponent because I'm not dead yet.
I feel the fear in my eyes
And I see it in his.
But who on earth wins when it's
me vs me?
The one that leaves me
perfectly free
-All I'm trying to do-
Is free myself from me.
I don't sleep. I dream with my eyes open. It's safer that way.
