petrified

trapped here in this state, it's like i'm tied,

and i can't help but to be petrified.

i'm desperately searching for somewhere to hide;

i've got to get away before i abide.


they've asked how i am and i've just lied,

little do they know i'm just trapped inside.

breaking out, i've tried and i tried,

but it feels like i'm locked in from the outside.


please help, i can feel it amplified.

starting to feel my soul divide;

i need someone to stand alongside

and to be my guide.


no longer want to live fortified.

i'll stop it before it's intensified;

i just ask that you lay with me, side by side.

give me someone with whom i can confide.


in the end i'll survive this ride

and stand before you, untied.

but for right now i've swallowed my pride,

and stood in front of you and cried.
