Trapped Inside

I struggle for breath.
The intensity of the darkness stifles me, it's impossible for me to lay still.
The atmosphere is unbearable.
I hope of catching some faint ray of light, but in vain.

I am trapped inside, inside this shallow mind.
I can't forget the standards that I've set.
I know, I cave in. This time I can't win.
I walk. I lose it all. I stay and I will fall.

I should not compare, but I know what's out there. I can't help myself.

Trapped inside. I can't forget the things I've seen.
I'm afraid. You can not see what I mean.
I just want to know. Can I get over this?

Help me, let me go? Ihere to? I don't know.
I need to get the things I don't have yet.
It might be too late to see is this my fate.
I walk. I will forget. I stay and I regret.

Break these chains of mine and free me.
I have seen the light. I need to go.
Take down these walls around. Ignore me.
What's out there to see. I need to know.
