Torn

This is an never ending vortex which captures my thoughts

Which limits my feelings

And keeps me trapped in this pathetic situation

Forever trapped in this cage

Pulse and heart are on the rise

Leading to my cruel demise

My mind is a stranger in a well-known shell

Lost and trapped in a prison cell

The recurrent panic is whipping the last remaining power out of me

The air is getting thinner and thinner

My breath is fighting against it

The sweat flows from every pore

Fear drives the body

My life is my suffering

My feeling is my agony

My thoughts are my chains

My self is my enemy

My mind should be mine

It should listen to me

My body should be mine

It should listen to me

The recurrent panic is whipping the last remaining power out of me

My head is working against me

I have no control over myself

Every breath is an agony

Every minute I experience feels like infinity

Seconds become hours, hours become days

And days become eternity

I've got to get out of here

Out of my prison

Out of the cage of my mind

I've got to get out of here

Out of my prison

Out of this illusionary world into reality
