Losing Myself

Turn the corner, turn the page

Stuck in my thoughts, lost in the maze.

Thought I figured it out then got knocked back down.

Thought I was finally free. God, was I wrong.

It’s tearing me apart, killing me slowly.

Breaking me down, I just want some peace.

I smile. I smile and I smile but inside

I’m screaming. I’m crying. Inside I’m dying.

Buried in a landslide, drowning in the flames.

Won’t you offer a hand before I go insane?

Lift me up, I’m falling. Take my hand, I’m crawling.

Won’t you help me now before I’m gone?

Won’t you be there when I’m all alone?

Help me hold my head up high when my pride is lost.

To raise my fist in the air when my strength is gone.

Won’t you save me from myself?

I’m breaking down. Worn and weary.

On my knees, desperate and bleeding.

Who I used to be is dead

Who I am, just another chalk mark In the making.

I struggle to eat, to sleep, to breathe

To focus, to find the motivation to even just get out of bed.

Somebody save me from myself.

Save me from the darkness consuming me.

Save me from the light that blinds me

And the chains in the form of thoughts and feelings that bind me.

Save me from my demons before they consume me.

My head is dropping as my pride takes shot after shot.

My fist lowering as my determination fades.

Inside I’m dying. Outside I’m lying.

Inside I’m crying, but you’ll never know why.

Won’t you lift me up? Don’t let me down.

Catch me before I hit the ground.
