Save me from myself

Scared, terrified, like a child
A small soul, trapped in a world of darkness
Voices that drown out my own
Empty words to fill the silence

My mind is holding me hostage
Endless torment from within

Freedom is unheard of
Release will never come
Only pain, only madness
Must I go insane to escape myself?

Meaningless words of happiness
You pretend like nothing's wrong
So you won't feel so guilty
Everyone pretends not to see me
Like they can't tell I'm lying
Faking smiles, waiting to be saved
