2am
But you see you don't know what it's like
To wake up in the middle of the night
Gasping and choking for breath
And crying your heart and soul out
Only there's a twist
The tears don't come from the eyes
They come from the wrist
The red rivers telling me to cave in
The beautiful colour sharp
Against the grey world
And I've never felt so alone
So rusted out
Trying to be my old self again
Only I'm still trying to find it
But I'm giving up
Falling into a trap of constant despair
And I've heard it said
That "freedom is a state of mind"
Only my mind is a prison
And I'm trapped behind black bars
Maybe this is the storm before the calm
Maybe soon I'll be able to close my eyes
Forever.
