Out of My Mind

The thoughts are building up
The fear won't stop
Clogging up my lungs
It's a beast in my head
A ghost of myself
It just wants me dead
I'm screaming on the inside
All this time I should have died
And left them to their happiness
Left them without this mess of mine
The fears and the hate for myself
It fills my head like a glass
And spills out unable to stop
Collecting whilst the tap stays on
I can't turn it off
It's stuck and I'm out of my mind
I beg you to be kind
Because I am no longer gentle
With my heart that can't settle
I need to stop
If I don't I don't know when
I will finally meet the drop
At the end of the cliff ahead
But the beast wants me dead
They all want me dead
My head wants me dead
I'm stuck in a box
It's closing in on me and I'm locked in
The beast that speaks to me
Keeps the keys safely inside me
I want to rip it out
But it just won't shut up
It's voice clear and loud
Mocking me never unlocking
The door so I can get out
Of this box it keeps me inside
Stuck in my head, out of my mind
