Sleep depravation,
Mental aggravation,
Internal anger,
External danger.
The night closes in,
On my dreams again.
Anxiety attacks,
When I can’t fight back.
My mental state,
Is my Golden Gate,
A bridge of opportunity,
That carries me,
Across the ocean of inability.
Into a land,
That is unknown.
Give me a helping hand,
Before my life is gone.

I’m breakin’ down,
Depression wins again.
In my world I drown,
But you make me,
Look like a clown.
My tears are real,
Look close and you will see,
That I’m standing still,
In a world moving so fast.
I found someone,
To love me at last.
I finally found where I belong.
My body is bound,
But my soul is strong.

I make no sound,
Where did I go wrong?
This is my soul sacrifice.
You sing a song,
Of unwanted advice.
You leave me alone,
When I need you most.
You treat me like I’m Al Capone,
Or maybe his ghost.

If you believe in such things,
As a heartache that leaves no sting,
Or a heartbreak that feels no pain,
This is my soul sacrifice.
Is it in vain?
This is my soul sacrifice,
Am I insane?
No one cares,
If I leave this world.
Look over there,
And you will see,
A faded outline,
That used to be me.
I leave it all behind,
When I sacrifice all I find,
Inside of me.
What can it be,
That makes me this way?
Day after day,
Night after night,
With myself I struggle and fight.

The struggle within,
I cannot win.
The struggle within,
It starts again.
I bang my head,
Against the wall.
I might be dead,
Or standing tall.
After all,
We’ve been through,
I find myself thinking of you.
What else is there,
For me to do?
Or, do you even care?

I go on living,
A life of sadness.
I go on living,
In a world of madness.
Your love,
Is the anchor,
That holds me down.
Your love,
Is the rain,
That washes away my frown.

I need you now,
I need you here.
The struggle within,
Causes all my fear.
The struggle within,
Causes me to self-destruct.
I wipe away another tear,
Eradicate another sin.
