You're walking in my nightmares
I don't know where you've gone
Or if there's an orchestrated jump scare
Playing games of chess while the others' playing checkers
A strategy no one noticed
Until you became second
You're living in this mind game
And it's driving me insane
It's not something I wanna feel again
But I know you're hiding
And living in this mind game
A tap on my shoulder as I look to the right
My fist in my pocket as if I'm ready to fight
I turn around with a swing as a shadow appears
I'm shaking in my boots and hiding from my deepest fears
You're living in this mind game
And it's driving me insane
It's not something I wanna feel again
But I know you're hiding
And living in this mind game
A shadow's creeping up on me
At the back of my head
If I don't turn around quick enough
I'll be better off dead
You're living in this mind game
And it's driving me insane
It's not something I wanna feel again
But I know you're hiding
And living in this mind game
You're living in this mind game
And it's driving me insane
It's not something I wanna feel again
But I know you're hiding
And living in this mind game
Every time
I lose my mind
I need to breathe
Stuck in hell
But I know I'll escape and I'll be free
I'm on my way
Out of this cage
I'm trapped inside the emotions and pain
I'll find my way
Turning the page
And when it's gone I won't be the same
Lies switching, life's itching
As you can see all the lights are dimming
The shadow could catch me at the last minute
I'm free now and I'm breaking out
Bet you don't know what you're running from
You don't even know where the sun has gone
You're free now, we're breaking out
I'm on my way
Out of this cage
I'm trapped inside the emotions and pain
I'll find my way
I'm turning the page
And when it's gone
I won't be
Take me far away from this hell
These pictures are painting themselves
This mind game you play
It drives me insane
And the nails keep falling from the frame
I'm on my way
Out of this cage
I'm trapped inside the emotions and pain
I'll find my way
I'm turning the page
And when it's gone
Well I'll be gone
