Sleep won't come
Wide awake
Counting hours
Till daybreak

Something had snapped
Like fingers pressed together
And suddenly no more

I listened to some songs today
From when I was a child
It made me smile and sing aloud
I acted very wild

'Tis a troubled mind that I possess
Emotions come and go
Excitement, depression, hope, and fear
The full spectrum I know

Hands are pulling me apart
Clawing from all sides
Smelling fear like dogs smell blood
Panic flows in tides

He's standing at your bedside
Your heart skipping a beat
He looks a little worried
While he's staring at his feet

Clawing from the inside
Trying to get out
From its mental prison
Succeeding without doubt

You are the sun
I am the moon
Reflecting your light
Into the lagoon

I know you're not a monster
I know you're good inside
The beast is in the bottle
That you always try to hide

You are my Father
I am your child
You now me better
Have me profiled
