Corners of the mind

**(Verse 1)**

Stuck in a corner of my mind, I’m a puppet on a string,

Creating my own chaos, by playing hide and seek.

Mirror, mirror on the wall, who’s the monster in disguise?

With a self shattered from the whole, and a thousand alibis.

I’m a fuckin mess of contradictions, living life in black and white,

One moment I'm gazing with stars in my eyes, , then the next, I’m bitching and im ready to fight.

Crouched in corners of my thoughts, whispers call my name,

Am I always the one to blame, or just a pawn in this game?

**(Chorus)**

I see my true colors and feel them bleed before they fade,

Try as hard as I might though, see through my facade.

Awareness cuts deep, but I stay silent so you don't flee

A prisoner of these damn emotions, searching for some peace.

**(Verse 2)**

Sure on the outside I've got pride, but inside, I’m a mess,

Sometimes I can't believe stand my own reflection, inside its nothing but distress.

Twisted flames flicker, fueling my despair,

Chasing validation when I shouldn't even care.

I laugh to hide the anguish, I smile to mask the fear,

But every fucking word I say just pulls me further near.

Shadows creep and crawl, whispering my flaws,

In this horror show that is my I’m the one with no applause.

**(Chorus)**

I see my true colors and feel them bleed before they fade,

Try as hard as I might though, see through my facade.

Awareness cuts deep, but I stay silent so you don't flee

A prisoner of these damn emotions, searching for some peace.

**(Bridge)**

Breaking down the walls, but feeling is what I find,

Pieces of my sanity scattered through my mind.

Trapped in this loop, I’m a ghost of my design,

Knowing who I am, stull crossing over lines.

**(Outro)**

So here I stand, in a pile of despair,

A paper rewritten over and over, but nothing’s ever there.

Awareness lingers, like a chill in the air,

I’m the king of my chaos, reigning in this nightmare.
