The pressure on my brain
It’s causing me to go insane
A red flame comes closer as I fall
I scream, nothing a silent call
What have I gotten myself into
The only words that come to mind
I’m screwed!
I wish I could run really far away
The flame still burns within my heart
My fears are tearing me apart
But what do I have to fear
So maybe I messed up when I was young
Maybe it was dumb
But now that I’ve done my time behind these steel bars
Little has changed, life is still so hard
What will I do, where will I go
Can you tell me, because I don’t know
