Screaming, clawing, raging...
These thoughts never leave my mind
Always there, always constant
Chaos and destruction
Crawling in my own skin
Wishing that I could just disappear from the world
As if I never existed
To be no one, nothing
Maybe then it will all go away
I only crave silence
The world has been nothing but noise
Many days and nights I've tried to drown it out with music
So loud that I've worried that my eardrums might burst
Music so deafening to drown out the chaos
I cannot stand it anymore
I am tired
Beaten down over and over again
Life has been nothing but cruel
I have had more than my fair share of beatings
Can it not finally end
I am tired
I have no fight left in me
Please... make it stop
