Have you ever felt the weight pushing down on your chest?/ how your not enough for a world that still chases a ghost/ I’m alive in a lifeless hell/ moving around in a hollow shell/ complacency never cared for me/ I’m alone in a house that dependency built/

Anxiety is always haunting me/ lie awake each night just so I can breath again/ bury me, I never wanted to leave/ the cycle repeats in my heart so endlessly/

Take this away/ the sign of the times invaded my eyes/ just let go/ a leap of faith has never been answered/ someone save me, I’m burning alive/ I was never the same when darkness arrived/ will you let me go?/

Find me hollowed out/ carving my eulogy straight to the bone/ nothing to cling to when I’m on my own/ / bleeding the veins so I can feel again/ I’m numb to the feeling of agony/ it’s all I’ve ever known/ I can’t overcome these waves/ dragging me down below/ my demons have a hold of me/ pain in every breathe, I can’t control these memories/ I can’t see the light inside of me/
Would love feedback!
