Everything I need to be is me because that is all I've ever been.


I have these voices in my head telling me what to say.  

When I wanna tell the truth, they steer me the wrong way. 

I try telling them to go away, but I end up dying inside

I try opening up to the friends I have around me, but they pull me back in.

Taking back my wheel, turning me around making me say the wrong things. 

When I wanna say yes they make me say no.

When I wanna tell the truth they make me spit lies. 

Oh those lies, they're slowly killing me.

Help! I'm crying inside.

I feel like I'm being pulled into a web of lies. 

I can't escape my fate. 

These voices are booming in my head.

They make me want to run away.

They make me wanna hide from the outside.

 But I rise... and I try... to stay happy for those around me. 

These voices in my head are killing me away.

These voices in my head are driving me crazy. 

I don't know what to do with all this yelling in my head. 

Screaming, bickering, telling me what to say.

Who's right, Who's wrong, I don't know anymore? 

What's this a new image and why won't it go away? 

I'm suffering, dying, My mind is exploding.

Nothing gonna help me from falling to my doom.

Nothings gonna stop me from spinning that wheel of lies.

I don't know what to do. 

Should I give in, should I give up.

I need to find a way out. 

I need to know right now.

Somebody help me. 

I'm falling into the pits of hell

Somebody help me. 

I'm falling deeper into the devil's grasp. 

Please somebody help me. 

Help me talk it out. 

Help me win my fight.

Don't help me I got this figured out 

Don't help me I'm winning my war 

I'm fighting

I'm winning 

I'm trying to rise above all the pain

Watch me push it all away

I used to be an impulsive lier but I went to a lot of therapy and now I can tell people what is really on my mind without the internal battle.
