I can't hear a word you say As I try to drown the pain away Sink into the sorrow Pray I don't see tomorrow Prisoner of my own mind Drowning my sorrows on borrowed time A different kind of empty No way to stop the bleeding I can't stop the seething No escape, only pain Lost without a purpose Escape below the surface Blinded by shame and anger Tattered and angry Abused to the bone Empty and withered Belittled to the core Separated from all sense of love I can't hear a word you say As I try to drown the pain away Sink into the sorrow Pray I don't see tomorrow Prisoner of my own mind Prisoner of my own mind Prisoner of my own mind Thoughts that aren't mine Swimming through my head Voices that tell me that I'm better off dead Alone and begging for death My sense of self begins to fracture I close my eyes never to open them again All my efforts in vain Encumbered by the chains As it enters my veins Submerge in the pain Submerge in the pain Submerge in the pain Erase the image from my mind
