All the voices in my head

Are telling me to go away

And never come back

Because this life's not worth it all

I can't keep living like this

It's so loud in here

I need some peace and quiet

But where do I go?

If I don't know where to run

I'm drowning in the water

I can't breathe at all

My head's barely afloat

I'm gasping for air

But nobody's there to help

I need to get out

But I don't know what else to do

I'm screaming for dear life

Oh god, if you're there, come for me

I need you so badly
