When can I escape the torment?
Will this suffering all I know?I just want to escape
But will I ever be free from the prisonFrom that house I'm free
But my own mind is a prisonRepetition of negative words spoken
Going round and round
Like clockworkThe mind isn't forgiving
Internal dialogue negative
Hard to see the positive some daysI want to escape my own mind some days
The escape I will never have
