"The only way is no way." -Bruce Lee

“Dream as if you'll live forever, live as if you'll die today.”


I am locked inside,
And hidden away,
Ready to come out,
Some other day.
Day and night,
Kicking and screaming,
Can't find the light,
Even when I am dreaming.

I am locked deep inside
The institution that is my mind.
It's getting hard to find,
A thought that's not unkind.
I slam myself against the wall,
It hurts so bad as I fall.
My body aches so sore,
As it slumps down to the floor.
I need help, shout and call,
But there's no one here at all.
I cannot bear it anymore,
I crack my skull against the door.

Inside this mind,
So dark and dreary,
My soul will die,
My body's weary.
I need someone for support.
I need to run and escape.
Before my heart can contort.
I'm alone to change my fate.

I am locked deep inside
The institution that is my mind.
It's getting hard to find,
A thought that's not unkind.
I slam myself against the wall,
It hurts so bad as I fall.
My body aches so sore,
As it slumps down to the floor.
I need help, shout and call,
But there's no one here at all.
I cannot bear it anymore,
I crack my skull against the door.

My fragile mind, shatters like glass.
Trying to recall my awful past.
Remember the pain, the blood and the tears.
Remember the chaos that's haunted me for years.
The fear and paranoia,
The voices schizophrenic,
Experience dementia,
Help me, I need a medic.

I am locked deep inside
The institution that is my mind.
It's getting hard to find,
A thought that's not unkind.
I slam myself against the wall,
It hurts so bad as I fall.
My body aches so sore,
As it slumps down to the floor.
I need help, shout and call,
But there's no one here at all.
I cannot bear it anymore,
I crack my skull against the door.

I cannot bear it anymore.

This song is about what every teen feels every now and then. When things in life become stressful, you feel like you're trapped and going to go insane. It's just that. All you have to do is fight the feeling and you'll get past it.
