I want to lie in my bed And never wake up again These voices in my head Talk but never listen I feel my body shiver From all the screams I hold inside There’s no more motivation But I want to live, not just survive I can sense the tears he cries And feel the pain he tries biting down I’m powerless to help him So I cry too and watch him drown He’s everything I am inside And as he suffers from the pain I’m too cowardly to tell him That I am just the same Does he feel the same electric pulse? Does he also want to die? Does he close his door at night So that no one sees him cry? He won’t admit to anyone He thinks he hides it well Maybe I am just like him Maybe everyone can tell

I want to lie in my bed And never wake up again These voices in my head Talk but never listen I feel my body shiver From all the screams I hold inside There’s no more motivation But I want to live, not just survive I can sense the tears he cries And feel the pain he tries biting down I’m powerless to help him So I cry too and watch him drown He’s everything I am inside And as he suffers from the pain I’m too cowardly to tell him That I am just the same Does he feel the same electric pulse? Does he also want to die? Does he close his door at night So that no one sees him cry? He won’t admit to anyone He thinks he hides it well Maybe I am just like him Maybe everyone can tell
