Sit here surrounded
Drown out the screaming voices
Retreat into my mind
It's do or die. Just make the choice

Sing the song of pounding thoughts
Embrace the pain and ease the ache
can't admit that I'm caught
Just shout out louder

Can't accept can't deny
Twist and bend, but don't fall over
Pick up my shattered heart
Lock it, hide it, no second chance to start

Where am I running to?
I can only retreat for so long
Backed into a wall
Cold hard facts. I don't belong.

Palms of my hands reaching up
Cry the tears release the fears
Might be silently screaming
But wipe away the doubt

Twist and bend but I'm not falling over
Hold my shaking hands
He is still calling out
Climb out of the boat.
Put my feet on land
