Trapped in my mind
Crowded yet lonely
No one but me
A thousand me

Voices in my head
Can't make them go away
Fighting, arguing
Every hour of every day

I fall into myself
Can't find my way out
No one is calling
No one even tries

Tired and lonely
Haven't slept in days
I know I should rest now
To make the pain go away
And yet I keep resisting
Like I'm drawn to this place
For whatever reason
I cannot explain

But inside I know the answer
To why I feel this way
For it it is you who keep me here
Every night and every day
This might not make much sense
To you or someone else
But I know how my heart feels
And that will never change

I saw you in a dream today
You kissed me
And said you love me
I don't remember ever being that happy
I can't imagine ever being that happy again
A moment passed,
and it was no more
A moment passed,
and the dream was gone
A rock hit my head,
"get real" it said
Yet I can't help but wonder,
will I see you again?

I haven't even met you,
and yet I feel this way
I don't know what to make of it,
don't know what to say

I wish that I could tell you,
just how I really feel
I wish that I could tell you,
how much you mean to me

But in the end I realize,
we are not meant to be
So I lay here dreaming,
dreaming silently

In my dreams I'm happy,
for you are by my side
You give my life a meaning,
a reason to survive

They never seem to end,
those dreams will always be
Though gone in an instant,
those dreams are real to me

Waking up I realize,
we are not meant to be
So I never tell you,
until I fall asleep

The night is over
It's morning, again
Seems sooner than before
just like last time
Parents are home
I put on my mask
Just like I always has
Just like I always will

Time hits eight
I'm off for school
Barely enough time
to change my mask
Meet up with my friends
I'm just like them now
They all think they know me
They have no idea

Home again
Safe in my room
Barely breathing
I take off my mask
No one can know me
For who I really am
No one can know me
They would not understand

I'm running from everyone
Trying to get away
Always running, never hiding
Running without a purpose

I like the chase, it's all I know
Until they get too close
That frightens me
Why, I do not know

They must not catch me
I must keep running
Though the reason eludes me
I just don't know
