I'm losing my ******* mind,
I'm afraid to sleep,
Afraid to dream,
I'm plagued nightly,
Terrors behind my eyelids,
Disappointment painted on every face I pass,
Runt of the litter,
I'm nothing,
I'm terrified,
Afraid to sleep,
Wake up hiding,
Afraid of the dead,
Dead and buried,
They won't stay buried,
I'm losing my ******* mind.

I don't know who I am anymore,
Too many masks,
Too much deceit,
I'm revolting,
I preach honesty,
And lie with every smile,
Does it reach my eyes?
Can you bear to look into them?
Tell me you've never lost sleep over what if's,
I'm losing sleep,
Losing time,
Who the **** am I?
Do you dream?
Do you recall?
I see dreams in daylight,
Hear noises others can't,
Am I awake?
Am I asleep?
No running,
Nowhere to run,
I'm running out of time,
What time is it?
Is this a cry for help?
Is there anything that can help?
Sleepless,
Helpless,
Hopeless,
Loveless.

I'm losing my ******* mind.
