Doubts

I keep my head still low
Gave up to reach the sun
The rain reflects the doubts I kept
Burn the words
I’m too scared to speak out loud
Remain silent as I start to crack
Open up
They tell me everytime when I stare to the ground
I’m fine, just tired
No need to talk about
I dig my nails into my hands
as I swallow my own lie
I’m not worth wasting your time
I’m not worth wasting your time
And I know
Keeping everything inside
Won’t change a goddamn thing
But it’s easier for me
If I won’t haunt you in your sleep
And I know
And I know
There’s no shame in being weak
I want to cry it all out
But I struggle to speak
I keep my head still low
Gave up to reach the sun
The rain reflects the doubts I kept
Burn the words
I’m too scared to speak out loud
Remain silent as I start to
Crack
I tried to free my mind
Tried to hide and run away
But there’s no way out
no way out for me
I keep my head still low
Gave up to reach the sun
Remain silent as I start to crack
And I know
And I know
There’s no shame in being weak
but it’s easier for me
it’s easier
And I know
And I know
There’s no shame in being weak
I want to cry it all out.
But I struggle to speak

Wither
03:13

The despair I tried to leave behind
Is still crawling in the back of my skull
Found comfort in the hole I’ve made
In my shell I feel myself at ease
Is this still who I am?
Everything I will be?
A withered branch?
Unable to bloom again?
My hands start to shake as hell
Can’t see shit through this misty frame
Take a breath, try to count to ten
As the waves are crashing in
Let me rest
The darkness will fade
The darkness will fade
In my self decay
In my self decay
I’m just too scared to change myself
what if everything left gets worse
can’t lose the love that gave me hold
my old habits built a shattered home
Is this still who I am?
Everything I will be?
A withered branch?
Unable to bloom again?
Let me rest
The darkness will fade
The darkness will fade
In my self decay
In my self decay
I’m just too scared to change myself
what if everything left gets worse
Let me rest
The darkness will fade
The darkness will fade
In my self decay
In my self decay
Let me rest
Let me rest
The darkness will fade
In my self decay
In my self decay

Hollow

Sink back
into the darkness that haunted me for ages and decades to come
for far too long i’ve been
waiting for this numbness inside me to finally
make room for at least
pain to get the surface and give me some
sense of
feel back
my demons
won’t leave me alone
I can feel my eyes grow pale
my bones gain weight
like an ancient oak
can’t support my limbs no more
I’m just a hollow shell
brittle like worn down teeth
my mind is crowded
with words I can’t conceive
Sink back
into the darkness that haunted me for ages and decades to come
for far too long i’ve been
waiting for this numbness inside me to finally
make room for at least
pain to get the surface and give me some
sense of
feel back
my demons
won’t leave me alone
I am just a hollow shell
brittle like worn down teeth
I can feel my eyes grow pale
my bones gain weight
days are passing me by
one by one
it feels like
i’m falling apart
Sink back
into the darkness that haunted me for ages and decades to come
for far too long i’ve been
waiting for this numbness inside me to finally
make room for at least
pain to get the surface and give me some
sense of
feel back
my demons
won’t leave me alone

Weight

There’s no easy way out
buried by the thought that i‘m not enough
I’ve never been so tired
I’ve never felt so low
I’d rather be gone
find a home
where i finally can ease my mind
It gets harder to breathe
feel the weight of expectations
pushing down on me
i’m not sure if its pride
or the fear of being weak
in front of you
i'd rather let myself drown
instead of pulling you with me
down to the ground
There’s no easy way out
buried by the thought that i‘m not enough
I’ve never been so tired
I’ve never felt so low
It gets harder to breathe
feel the weight of expectations
pushing down on me
i'd rather let myself drown
instead of pulling you with me
down to the ground

Burden

And I can confess
that every night I spent awake
I stared at the walls and thought
I’d rather be gone
Find some kind of home
Where these voices break in silence
And leave me alone
I’m grinding teeth
biting my tongue till it bleeds
while it gets harder to breath
My exhaustion takes over
I will let myself sink
in a haunted sleep
I can’t stand the look in your eyes
while you’re worrying about me
I hope I won’t rob your smile
when i’m calling for help
take my hand
and guide the way
stay for a while
and keep me safe
take my hand
and guide the way
please be the answer for me
take my hand
and guide the way
stay for a while
and keep me safe
take my hand
and guide the way
please be the answer for me
please be the answer for me
please be the answer for me
And I can confess
that every night I spent awake
I stared at the walls in grief
while you slept next to me
Instead of letting you know
I clenched my fists, held my breath
swallowed how I felt
They’re haunting me
Stay by my side till they leave
Make them disappear
Please stay a while
Hold me tight
Get them out of my head
Get them out of my head
Get them out of my head
Give me room to breath
Lay them down to rest
Light them up in flames
Get them out of my head
And I can confess
that every night I spent awake
I stared at the walls and thought
I’d rather be gone
Find some kind of home
Where these voices break in silence
And leave me alone
Get them out of my head
Please be the answer for me

Sleep
03:44
|

I’m still afraid of change
still afraid of what comes next
days are passing me by
keep sleepwalking through my life
eyes shut for another day
haunted by dreams
which stray away
from the hopes that I had
They’re shattered in pieces
like broken glass
And I know
I should be happy with the place I call my home
For way too long
have I’ve been a slave to my anxious thoughts
I kept running in circles for years
so where the hell did I go wrong
I can’t break the cycle
as long as my limbs feel so cold
But I’ll keep sleeping
the days are passing me by
But I’ll keep sleeping
the days are passing me by
While i’m wasting another year
I’ll keep on hiding in my own sleep
wake me up
give me strength
to open up my eyes again
I’m still hoping for the day
when I’ll fit into my own skin
wake me up
give me strength
to open up my eyes again
But I’ll keep sleeping
the days are passing me by
Is there a way to escape?
From the patterns that I have made?
sick of drowning in my own doubts
sick of overthinking
every step I take
But I can’t wake up
I can’t wake up
While i’m wasting another year
I’ll keep on hiding in my own sleep
wake me up
give me strength
to open up my eyes again
I’m still hoping for the day
when I’ll fit into my own skin
wake me up
give me strength
to open up my eyes again
Strayed away from the kid I’ve been
Strayed away from the home i’ve built
But I'll find my way
I’ll find my way
I’m still sleeping
But the darkness will fade away
