Backed into my corner
I find myself alone
I crawl into the darkness
Back where I belong
Someone hear me scream
Someone see me cry
But I know that no one will
No one will wonder why
I withdraw from all my senses
I can’t seem to feel at all
I wonder how this happened
What I did to fall
I’ve fought so hard to live
Fought so hard to love
Now I’m back down in this place
Looking at all that lies above
The chill within my bones
So silent now it seems
Not a breath of air
There is no thought of sleep
Dreams are but a wish
And I cannot see the stars
It never matters what you want....
Only what you are.
