The lights started to flicker
And the sound of silence got deeper
I sat in the corner and cried out in despair
But my voice wasn't sharp enough to pierce through the silenece,
I wasn't man enough to admit it back then
But the truth was that just like everybody else
I was trying to fix myself,
But in the end it was too hard too choose
And I chose the road which many youths often takes

Fought my battles with pills & bottles
And I know very soon this light will disappear
And I'll fade away in darkness
But if I'm being completely honest
There's still a part in me that wants to to burn out
Instead of fading away in the background

And I want to ask for help but I'm too afraid to tell
And this fear is keeping me locked up in this cage called mental health
