In the bed I lay awake I pray the lord my soul to take These feelings inside they don't go away I try to act fine but my mind doesn't stray I want out of my head and into the dark A minute of peace to make it less sharp I want to be okay and not feel all the time An escape from myself and escape from my mind I'm tired of hearing "it's gonna be fine " I grab the bottle and give it a shake Thinking about how many I'm gonna take. I just want to sleep to get away from it all I don't care how I get there I just want it gone I grab a handful probably at least ten Close my eyes and wonder if I will open them again Either way I'm fine I just want an escape I don't know how much my heart can take. I know these thoughts are crazy but they still exist There is so much to live for but it feels like this is it.

To find the way out
