Take Me Away

Help me, I am drowning
And I wanna breathe again
Promise me that this is not the end

Tortured by the screaming
Of the voices in my head
They beat me down until my heart is dead

Those around me think I'm happy
But they don’t really give a shit
So I scrape a smile and wear it
Guess that ignorance is bliss

I keep hiding what's inside me
'Cause it's easier that way
And when it’s you and I alone
I look to you and say

Take me away
Take me away
Who am I to try to save me from myself?

Take me away
To better days
I'd give anything to just be someone else

Help me, I am fading
From the rope around my neck
I need your strength to cut me down again

I swear that I don't wanna die
But it seems hopeless every time
The darkness comes alive from deep within

I know if I tried to end it, you would send my soul straight down
Disappointed in the way I wasted life and threw it out
But if the pain is gonna last forever, don't you think
It would be okay if we just say you gave me angel wings?

Take me away
Take me away
Who am I to try to save me from myself?

Take me away
To better days
I'd give anything to just be someone else

Show me that there's something more
Or someone else worth living for
Open up my eyes and lead the way

'Cause the lump is rising in my throat
The one that wants to see me choke
Suffocating me with misery

Take me away
Take me away
Who am I to try to save me from myself?

Take me away
To better days
I'd give anything to just be someone else

Take me away
Take me away
Who am I to try to save me from myself?

Take me away
To better days
I'd give anything to just be someone else

Help me, I am drowning
And I wanna breathe again
Promise me that this is not the end
