These thoughts and nightmares are swirling inside of my brain
Anxiety building, I'm no longer calm, and I just can't deal with the pain
Remembering things that you don't want to know and can't show
Your heart is pounding and you want to let go
Just push it down before your head overloads or your heart explodes
They say the answer to mend it is love of the heart, but you don't know where to start
You just want to be alright, but don't feel you're right, you can't read the signs, you can't be just fine
And no one listens; You want to give up the fight
What do you do when you're paralyzed, and can't even try
How do I spread my wings and fly
When I can't get out of this bed
Pull the covers up over my head
Let the dread set in
Then they step out from the crowd to lift the shroud from your eyes
They were next to you the whole time, helping you up when you fall
Helping you start when you stall
Picking you up when you crawl
Remembering memories of them always picking up when you call
You know that everything will be alright, now you have your light
You're gonna make things right, you won't mess up this time
Forever in debt to your friend from the hand they lend
You want to be strong for them and help them mend
And they'll do the same for you to the end
But where the hell do I start, How do I help them heal their heart
Where do I put my pain to show them what they mean
How do I begin to let them know that they are seen
How do you come clean from your trauma and be a human being
I just want to live a normal life with who I love always in sight
I want to help set things right and make the world theirs and mine
Then I step out from the crowd to lift the shroud from your eyes
I was here next to you the whole time, helping you up when you fall
Helping you start when you stall
Picking you up when you crawl
Always picking up when you call
Now we know that it'll be alright, because we have our light
And the thoughts and nightmares turn to blue and purple dreams
Swirling in the mind's eye until they burst at the seams
And become reality
