It's always there

Right behind the eyes

Right beneath the skin

I can't wash it out

Tick. Tock. The pendulum swings

I'm just a puppet choking on my own strings

Look in the mirror, but the face ain't mine

Just a hollowed-out shell at the end of the line

I trace the scars, but the cuts are too deep

A million little voices that wake me from sleep

They tell me I'm nothing, they tell me I'm fake

How much of this pressure can one mind take?

I try to breathe, I try to choke it down

But the silence is loud and I'm starting to drown

I build the walls up, just to watch them fall

I'm fighting a war with nothing at all!

I can't outrun the blood in my veins!

I can't break out of these invisible chains!

Self-doubt! It pulls me under the tide!

There's nowhere to run when the killer's inside!

I'm at war with a ghost, and the ghost is me!

I am the cage, and I swallowed the key!

Step one: Pretend that I'm fine today

Step two: Watch the sanity rot away

Step three: Let the paranoia eat me alive

Just a parasite trying to survive

Every step forward is two steps back

Living every day waiting for the panic attack

It's an itch in the brain that I just can't scratch

A gasoline heart waiting for the match

I try to breathe, I try to choke it down

But the silence is loud and I'm starting to drown

I build the walls up, just to watch them fall

I'm fighting a war with nothing at all!

I can't outrun the blood in my veins!

I can't break out of these invisible chains!

Self-doubt! It pulls me under the tide!

There's nowhere to run when the killer's inside!

I'm at war with a ghost, and the ghost is me!

I am the cage, and I swallowed the key!

You're not good enough. You're a mistake

They all know. They all see through it

Get out of my head

Get out of my head

Get Out Of My Head!

I Am My Own Disease!

I Bring Me To My Knees!

Never Good Enough!

Never Good Enough!

I Hate Myself, And I Can'T Wake Up!

I can't outrun the blood in my veins!

I can't break out of these invisible chains!

Self-doubt! It pulls me under the tide!

There's nowhere to run when the killer's inside!

I'm at war with a ghost, and the ghost is me!

I am the cage, and I swallowed the key!

Swallowed the key...

I can't win

I can't win against me
