Home is a prison that I'm surviving life in
Keep looking at the clocks, but I still don't get the timing
Sometimes I feel so lonely
Why is every escape suddenly more homely
I'm in a bed but I cant sleep
You want to take me to a restaurant but I can't eat
Kicking and screaming but I always refuse defeat
Fighting a battle no one can see
Drained from the thoughts, tired of suffering
Why can't my mind just let me be
I try to load my brain but it just keeps buffering
Game of survival inside my head
My mind is the game and mental health the controller
I'd rather be playing creative instead
It could be depression or even bi-polar
Still waiting for brightness even if it's solar
One difference in a day can really mess with my mojo
Tired of empty rooms but I'm still happier solo
Taken back to a place from a memory of a photo
You can tell me "forget about the past" but it's my present also
Fighting my head is a constant battle
I keep my head down, blend in with the cattle
My own mental health is my pet peeve
So buckle up for my ride and try not to leave
