Locked up inside myself
I am locked up inside myself.
Have nowhere to go,
For it is all in mind.
I cannot run from the demons in my head,
The demons who want me dead.
I am locked up inside myself.
A body that doesn't fit,
A place I do not trust.
A place I cannot run from,
Because you cannot run from yourself.
I am locked up inside myself.
With my demons screaming,
They are all in my head.
Just another game my mind likes to play,
Another game driving me insane.
Slowly I start to fall,
Start to hate.
This body I am locked up in,
My mind always tauntng me,
Losing the last bit of my sanity.
I am locked up inside myself.
I cannot run.
This is my fate,
This body and mind,
This self hate and these demons.
I tried to run more than once,
Looked for an escape.
Tried to get away from the constant pain,
But I never could change my body,
Or defeat my inner demons.
I am locked up inside myself.
My body like a cage,
A prison.
My demons the other cell mates,
But it is all in my head.
It is just another game my mind likes to play.
Another trick to make me hate myself even more,
And I know it is all in my mind,
But I cannot escape.
You cannot run from yourself or your own demons.
I am locked up inside myself.
And that makes me scared.
Living in a body that doesn't fit,
And demons driving me insane,
But once again it is all in my mind and it won't change.
