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.
