I’m trapped in my own mind, sickness of a different kind, a deep secret I'm gonna tell

My mood swings up and down, don’t know what’s going on, my heart is an empty room to dwell

Sorrow knocks at my door, I’m feeling overwhelmed, there’s sadness and despair around

A pain that never dies and tears my heart apart, apart

Do you think you can, do you really think you can go down?

Deep down inside, without any help around

Got to pretend again Got to pretend again

I've failed again, again I’ve failed again

Tel me, tell me how to be well ? Hope for the best and forget the rest

I tried and tried but felt the same I’m so ashamed of being down

Instead of happiness, I feel the weight of sadness I feel that pain again, again

Oh, the downward spiral goes on and on

Oh, the downward spiral goes on and on

Do you think you can, do you really think you can go down?

Deep down inside, without any help around

Really feel lost again Really feel lost again

I've failed again, again I’ve failed again

Can’t escape from my fears, I wish I’d disappear Inner voices are my daily hell

I wish I could just shut them down I wish I could get out from this cell

A cry for help that no one hears I wish I could dry my tears

I’ll undergo a life of therapy

I've failed again, again I’ve failed again, again

I've failed again, again I’ve failed again

Once and again, depressed and it’s all the same

Really feel lost again Really feel lost again

I'm sick, tryin to get by and I’ll never make it right

I'm sick, tryin to get by and I’ll never make it right

I’ll get by, I’ll get by, I’ll get by, I’ll get by, I’ll get by, I’ll get by
