Tangled Mess

A troubled mind doesn't sleep
Floating words keep me company 
Running through my mind again
A hollow heart trying to love 
Grasping at air, my fingers slip through 
 

Fake smiles to get me by 
Something is tugging at me, dragging me down 
So much in my head 
Why can't I say what I feel?
Why can't I say anything?
 

Mind goes blank
An empty canvas, a clean slate
Running in circles I get nowhere in life
What am I running from? 
 

Past trying to catch up with me 
I'm out of breath
Air refuses to fill my lungs 
Surrounded by forgotten memories 
You're all catching up with me
 

Can't breathe in this life anymore 
Exhausted and overwhelmed 
So lost, can't figure out what to do
Over-thinking every decision 
Heart pounding in my chest 
Feet wobbly, eyes blurry, I'm lost
 

Trying to pick myself up and move on
Maybe a little crazy on the inside but I’ll always smile
No sincerity, you'll never know
A crazy, jumbled mess
But you'll never know
