I try to stop and wonder why Am I numb now? Tears start to fall Never wanting to stop Just a minute ago I was laughing Now I’m depressed Suicidal thoughts arise How can I've been happy? Then so upset in a blink of an eye I remember their faces And I feel nothing for them Everything’s a distant memory My own nightmares taking over I try to find something joyful All I found was even more terror How can I tell the people who love That when night comes I’m no longer myself Just like Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde I’m a monster that does not feel Alone and cold, immune to everything What happened to me? I want it to stop But whenever I try to stop Someone else barges in I don’t know who it is But they’re taking over I try to control myself Hoping to win the battle in my head Whether I win or lose I’m no longer the same I've changed but not for the better All the things I've pushed away Have resurfaced and formed Now it has personified into my nightmares Gladly, it only happens at night But it talks to me during the day I push back the negativity Or else it’ll swallow me whole Who knew it would be like this I didn't, but that’s what I get I can never be truly happy I’ve accepted this much I’ll face the world with my burdens Give everyone a smile I’ll lie my way to my death Knowing that no one knows the monster inside.
