I'm wishing I could go back
Fix Something
It's a pain beyond belief, beyond dying
It's a horrible feeling
A feeling of loss, a feeling of sorrow
It's here, It's burning what used to be there inside of me
No matter how hard I try,
It won't go away
It's fighting against me
I'm losing it, I'm losing control
It burns, it hurts
I cry, I yell
Yet no one can hear me
No matter how loud I cry
It comes out as a whisper
In a crowd of yelling people
There is a faint beat in all this madness
It's growing louder and louder
And, it stops.
