I've been pacing these empty halls
thinking
breathing
remembering
I sit down
and my leg starts bouncing
I toss and turn in bed
making a mess of the blankets
that doesn't even compare to the mess of me
my body is restless
as is my mind
I can't keep still
believe me, I've tried
my hands are shaking
but then, so is the rest of me
the walls mock me
the shadows leer
keep moving
keep moving
keep moving
there's a ringing in my ears
covering up the silence
but not the voices
singing
talking
whispering
screaming
oh God, the screaming
angry yells
sobs that speak of unbearable grief
cries of fear
hopeless pleas to the void
makeitstopmakeitstopmakeitstop
I've been recounting my story
but there's no one left to hear
