The day begins before I even wake, a heavy weight pressing me down I search for balance, for a little piece of something good Sometimes I feel empty, like time has stopped A silent, numb feeling that has nowhere to go And then the feeling suddenly turns, much too strong The storm rushing through me, an eternal battle with myself It’s fighting against myself, day after day The world keeps turning, but I want the noise... to fade away... The words get stuck whenever I try to speak It never really gets quiet in my head It goes up and down, a weight pulling me back Searching for some peace that could cover all the scars One hour I’m lost inside a dark hole The next I’m too tired from this endless road A marathon running through my own mind While the light slowly fades away Among all these people, the room feels much too small Like I was meant to be somewhere else after all I’d rather disappear, quietly into the background Searching for the place where I once felt safe and sound Looking in the mirror at everything I carry with me And hoping for a day that brings a little more peace It’s fighting against myself, day after day The world keeps turning, but I want the noise... to fade away... The words get stuck whenever I try to speak It never really gets quiet in my head It goes up and down, a weight pulling me back Searching for some peace that could cover all the scars One hour I’m lost inside a dark hole The next I’m too tired from this endless road A marathon running through my own mind While the light slowly fades away No more storms passing over... No more waves breaking me Just breathing slowly No more words I have to speak... Just... being. The wave pulls back... I search for the silence... One day at a time...
