I must sever the noose
That is holding me up
At what cost
Just the loss of everything
I need a boost
So my fear stops growing
I'm going in circles
A downward spiral
A tailspin of epic proportions
A mental abortion
Of the germ of an idea
To escape this sadness
And vacate my madness
Sucked down a dark pit
Someone save my sinking ship
I'm a slave while my past still haunts me
Chained and shackled while it reminds me
Of the battles I've lost to insanity
And the casualty I'm written off to be
But I swear I'll get back on my feet again
With the help of my comrades and friends
Insecurity falters to reason
So please pass the ammunition
I am become death
The destroyer of minds
Inside I can be anyone
I can do anything
But I choose captivity
I will conquer all the trenches
In my fragile mind
I will repel all invaders
Even those inside
I will stand up strong as ever
Though I'm under siege
I will push back all attackers
In my quest for peace
I'm a slave while my past still haunts me
Chained and shackled while it reminds me
Of the battles I've lost to insanity
And the casualty I'm written off to be
But I swear I'll get back on my feet again
With the help of my comrades and friends
Insecurity falters to reason
So please pass the ammunition
