Welcome to Gaia! :: View User's Journal | Gaia Journals

The water runs cool over my face
I try to shake the nightmares in my head
I can still see myself run as they give chase
I'm so stressed I'm shutting my eyes from the red

I need an angel to calm my mind
Or a demon to release my tension
I need to hear a voice sweet and kind
Or to find some place to shout my frustration

I need a break from my personal hell
To slip into my heaven, small as it is
I know I have people I can tell
But I don't know if it's enough for this

Let me crank up the music please
Let the music overtake my mind
Don't let this distraction cease
First there's a place I need to find

I can only hide from this for so long
Before it will finally catch up with me
But I know I have to be strong
Just please make it so it's something I can see

Let the water run freezing over my skin
Trying so hard to pull through
This has to be something I win
You've said I'm strong, it has to be true

Just please don't stop trying
If I seem like a hopeless case
I know I need to stop crying
But the pain isn't so easily erased

So I'm gonna take a deep breath again
And listen now to you
This isn't gonna be the end
You wouldn't lie your words must be true

Dripping wet from head to toe
I lift my eyes to the sky
I need to stop holding my head so low
Today I'm not going to die
