Life can be a long and lonely road when you're walking it alone,
That's why it's nice to be reminded to never be afraid to pickup the phone,
The voices in my head cloud and distort the way I see the things around,
filling my head full of lies and noise they make very destructive sounds,
Don't burn my world to the ground before I get the chance to see,
Don't cut me off from others before I get to show them the real me,
I'd rather me anywhere than stuck in this body with this mind,
As darkness is lurking around every corner and I know who I will find,
You pull me underwater just so you can stay afloat,
Drowning me in bad thoughts and feelings while taking the only rescue boat,
I may not always but right now I can see clear,
That what you all say is bullshit and you feed on pain and fear,
You can take alot of things from me that make me feel less whole,
But what you can never take is my heart and soul.
