My Mind, Myself & I

[Verse 1: Wade Walters]
So help me God to fall asleep at night
'Cause every night feels like I'm losing a fistfight
I'm gone, feels like there's something wrong
'Cause I can't escape from these prison walls
That I've built myself
If you can hear me, can you please come free me?
Time, feels like I have none left
Can you check my pulse, if it's beating?
Sometimes I feel like
I'm heading in the right direction, then I turn
I knew that it was too good to be true 'cause I've learned
That suffering lasts forever
It always takes me in, it pulls me under farther
Does everybody else just walk on water?
Breathing in and breathing out, I suffer
So help me God, can I recover?

[Chorus: Richard Rogers, Wade Walters]
It's so tough to get up these days
There's nowhere to go when your mind's a cage
I'm stuck treading water, slowly drowning in this pain
Can't seem to get much sleep
When I close my eyes, I just overthink
About everything I've done and will do
Am I born to lose?

[Post-Chorus: Wade Walters]
Immobilized, I'm petrified
I can't run and I can't hide

[Verse 2: Wade Walters]
Am I paralyzed? Is this my life?
Anxiety has got the best of me tonight
Feels like I can't unwind
My chest restricted and tight
It's like I've lost all sight
All darkness without a sign of light
I guess I'm stuck here waiting for anything

[Chorus: Richard Rogers, Wade Walters]
It's so tough to get up these days
There's nowhere to go when your mind's a cage
I'm stuck treading water, slowly drowning in this pain
Can't seem to get much sleep
When I close my eyes, I just overthink
About everything I've done and will do
Am I born to lose?

[Breakdown: Wade Walters]
I can't run, I can't hide
I guess I gotta just stand and fight tonight

[Outro: Wade Walters]
I'm stuck in a cycle, it's repeating
Help me out of this hole, I can't keep bleeding
