Let Me Fall

There's a beast inside my chest

Trying to claw its way out

I turn on the music trying to drown out the sound

But I keep hearing its voice

It doesn't speak with these words

I feel its hate when I go numb

Its whispered doubts have left me dumb

"You know that you're the one,

The one that's failed everyone"

So I walk up to the edge

Look straight out and take a breath

Try to silence it with a step

And leap into the sky

With no wings to let me fly

But even though I'm falling down

I never reach the ground

I just wake up in this bed

Made to start this day again

Fight this battle in my head

I just wish it all would end.
