My mind is a torn up town
It can turn my smile into a frown
In 1,2,3 seconds
And I keep counting
To keep myself from thinking

Sometimes I say «shut up»
Out loud, and people see my eyes drifting
Far far away
Cause my mind is my worst enemy

And people say «tomorrow will be a better day»
That would be easy if this disease was just a mentality
Some days I wake up
Thinking it was just a nightmare
Until it comes creeping in
Telling me this will forever be a part of me

But I’m a fighter, and I’ll fight that part
Cause I won’t let this be the death of me
And I pray
Please don’t let this be death of me

My mind is a torn up town
I wish you could believe me
When I say
There’s a real war
Playing inside my head from the moment
I wake up
